Knack Factory helps to bring the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival to life

We are thrilled to have partnered with the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Festival to keep the event alive in the face of COVID-19.

From Portland Press Herald:

As a year-old arts nonprofit, Indigo Arts Alliance had found a comfortable stride when the coronavirus forced all public activity to a halt. Dedicated to supporting artists of color, the community art space in East Bayside was making plans for its inaugural Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival to honor Maine children’s book author and artist Ashley Bryan.

The virtual festival will consist of a nine-part series of videos, created in Portland by the Knack Factory and released sequentially over several weeks, beginning May 25. The videos will be available on Indigo’s website and distributed through its email and social media networks. Minter said Indigo is looking for other community partners to help distribute content.
