art classes for all students

community members to take on O.M. where students learn to put on plays, including sets dialog etc.

we had art and music in the schools K-12

Fridays were reinstated as school days with art the only focus on those days (Artsy Fridays)

art were as important as math spelling and sports

bring back the art of old games: pinochle, chess, Yahtzee, cribbage, and canasta

if money wasn't the object - get sponsors - you could do anything you can imagine and have it happen in ongoing programs, gallery space, live music, poetry, etc.

we could paint murals in the new baseball dugouts

school sponsored a lunch on Friday and artists volunteered three Fridays a month to provide an activity

volunteers were plentiful

our arts events and programs were accessible to all regardless of disability, age, financial status or perceived talent

a summer theatre program for college students, accredited two musical theatre plays to be performed with live musicians as a regional attraction for the summer season

we had another after school art program

we could have art back in school instead of P.E.

we had a pep band or a marching band at our school sports events

our could be known for our artists, rather than our meth use

if Santiam Valley was a popular cultural center

we had a place to learn dances of all kinds and maybe even had dances several nights a week

love the idea of Fridays reinstated with the focus towards arts, and then to include homeschooled students availability to participate.

we had a BIG art center complete with classrooms, stage and gallery!

Things for ALL ages inside and out /:-)
