Random Acts of Silliness' 2024 Crankie Fest
This year, Belgrade Community Library is lucky to be a host for Random Acts of Silliness' 2024 Crankie Fest - Treasured: Moving Stories About the Things We Love! As you'll find on Random Acts of Silliness' Crankie Fest page linked within the sign-up, this year’s festival will feature seven crankies* created by southwest Montana artists, exploring the theme of treasured objects. Each crankie is an original work of art utilizing a variety of mediums: batik, ink, collage, shadow puppetry and more. The performance will be accompanied by original live music. *A crankie is an ancient story telling device, consisting of a moving panoramic art scroll accompanied by music or a story. The scroll is cranked to move the story along, hence the name crankie. The crankie is an analog antidote to our fast-paced digital world. It enables intimate, slow, carefully crafted storytelling–and is utterly captivating. Due to subject matter and show length, we recommend this show for ages 6+!
