COACHELLA VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The fourth annual children's art and music festival  known as CAMFest will be a week-long virtual artistic experience viewed the week of December 6-12 at 6 pm on various media platforms. CAMFest, now being called CAMFest Goes On! 2020, is a fundraising event hosted by the Desert Sands Educational Foundation (DSEF). This event was created to highlight the students and support the arts and music programs K-12 in the Desert Sands Unified School District (DSUSD). For the past three years, this one day event has taken place at the world-renowned Indian Wells Tennis Garden raising over $80,000 that has gone directly into the art and music programs at DSUSD. In 2019, 2,200 students participated from 32 DSUSD schools however, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, this year's event will be held virtually.

At present teachers of the art and music programs in DSUSD are being asked to submit their  students' artistic and musical creations in the form of a shout out, a song or rap, Tik-Tok like dance steps, musical performance, theater mimes, artwork, a time lapse creation of a painting, sculptures, costume, theatrical make-up, a collection of student photo work, photos or any aspect of filmmaking.

CAMFEST Goes On! 2020 event will include a 10-minute pre-recorded video each night to highlight the students in one of the arts programs and on the seventh day will feature a collaboration of the DSUSD art and music programs in a grand finale pre-recorded video presentation. 

The seven-day event will be promoted on most media and social media platforms to maximize viewing of the students and to acknowledge the event sponsors.
