Whole Foods Market on Kirby Community Giving Day
Benefitting Aurora Picture Show
Wednesday, August 14, 7AM-10PM
With animation activity from 11AM-2PM
Location: Whole Foods Market Kirby, 2955 Kirby Drive

On Wednesday, August 14 do the bulk of your weekly shopping at Whole Foods Market Kirby to support the Education programs of Aurora Picture Show. Aurora Picture Show is thrilled to have been selected as a beneficiary of this month's Whole Foods Market Community Giving Day at the Kirby location.  The store will donate 5% of their August 14 net sales all day from 7AM to 10PM to Aurora Picture Show. 
 
At Whole Foods Market, team members are part of the local community and are active in supporting the local causes that are important to shoppers and neighbors.  Whole Foods Market and Aurora Picture Show have long been partners, specifically sponsoring programs such as Popcorn Kids screenings and youth education programs for the family.  Aurora Picture Show is a non-profit media arts center that presents artist-made, non-commercial film and video.  Aurora is dedicated to expanding the cinematic experience and promoting the understanding and appreciation of moving image art.  As part of this mission, the organization hosts educational programs for youth, teens, college students and adults in the community and at their location in Upper Kirby.
 
Not only will you be supporting a great cause, but Aurora will also host an animation art activity from 11AM to 2PM in the store.  Youth and teens will be invited to create "One-Second Flip Book Films." Using recycled scrap paper, families will work together to create images that string together to create the illusion of continuous movement when the pages are flipped quickly.  Each image will be slightly different to give the impression of moving image.  This is a fun way to create films and stories without technology.  Each book will contain 24 pieces of paper to simulate standard filming and projection formats for traditional motion pictures.
