SonneBlauma Danscz Theatre - 1996-2012- in 2012 SonneBlauma morphed into ArtBark International

As the sunflower* reincarnates as a salty, howling - and hopefully somewhat artistic - dog, ArtBark International represents the unceasing hunt for new fields, new scents, easy puns, and an easier name to spell. With a mission to spread love and light through the power of creative expression, one thing is sure to remain the same – our commitment to being the change we wish to see in the world & to place a strong value on relationship, communication, and building community.
