all the performers and artists for the festival were from the canyon
all children had a choice of artistic activities in school
Mill City area was known as an artistic area
contact to work with leaders where ever a group of people / children gather - library, youth groups, kids at Gates school, girls at the dance wolverines
we had a local art center with a working studio, gallery, classes, kilns, wheels, crafts, printers, play rooms, etc. [Co-op]
we need an art center - art, music, writing, dance, performance
we had a small art co-op, starting out small and growing big
art center for all ages all arts, classes and display
art center for entire canyon
we had a for profit artists co-op
we had a community arts center cooperative - fix up a crummy building on the highway and show the world how cool we are
music in the schools starting with elementary
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 had a community arts cooperative
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 /:-)
