Festival of the Moving Creature at UVA Arts Grounds 4/23

Don’t look twice—run! Run to join the fun at University of Virginia’s Festival of the Moving Creature as several man-made giants emerge at sunset for an illuminated parade through the heart of UVA Grounds. The monstrous movers are built by students from the Art of the Moving Creature class in an homage to the work of Hollywood artist and UVA alum Stan Winston (Terminator, Jurassic Park, Aliens), and beloved former educator and technical director of UVA Drama Steve Warner. Community members of all ages are encouraged to join in with their own works of puppetry for a magical night of wonder. Free, 7pm. UVA Arts Grounds. @uvacreatures
