Traveling arts exhibit coming to Boundary County |
|
September 8, 2017 |
The ArtsGrowLearning Traveling Art Exhibit is
going to be making a stop in Boundary County for
two weeks! The Idaho Commission on the Arts
partnered with venues across the state to
present ArtsGrowLearning, a touring presentation
showcasing student visual art, dance, creative
writing/storytelling and media arts created
through Idaho’s ArtsPowered Schools program.
This engaging, vibrant exhibit will be at the
Boundary County Museum September 11 through
September 23 and it's free and open to the
public.
The exhibit will travel to the Columbia Bank
Building in Sandpoint for the weeks of September
25 and October 2.
Both Naples and Valley View Elementary Schools
received grants from the Idaho Commission on the
Arts.
"This was a huge opportunity to bring art
specialists to the classrooms of our students,"
said Robin Merrifield, School District 101
director of curriculum. "This beautiful
traveling exhibit should not be missed! It will
travel throughout the state for the next year.
The works featured include those of our own
Boundary County students!"
ArtsPowered Schools fosters dynamic and
meaningful collaboration between classroom
teachers and artists that culminate in artist
residencies in schools across Idaho. This
presentation highlights the depth and relevance
of arts learning for students and teachers, and
celebrates the creative energy and expertise of
Idaho’s artists.
Professionally presented visual artworks,
interpretive text, photographs and video vividly
tell the story of ArtsPowered Schools
residencies during the 2016-2017 school year.
