Our newest artist-in-residence is Megan Cherry, who is a specialist in textile arts. Here are her students making their own ropes, from everyday supplies, and which will later be turned into art objects.

See You Next Year!
The Arts Track has come to a close for the school year, and what a year it has been! Students had the opportunity to learn so much about both the visual and performing arts, Working with Mrs. Lutzwolf and Ms. Palmer, as well as many guest artist instructors, students learned to paint, make paper, collage, curate pieces for an art show, design sets, costumes and make up for theater, act in a play, travel to many locations, and much more.
Next year the Arts Track will be taught by a rotating series of guest artists, thanks to two generous grants. Students will focus on the visual arts, and will have many more exciting opportunities!
A special thank you goes out to all of our supporters this year (and next), and we can't wait to see where experiential learning takes us!
Have a wonderful summer!

Spokane Field Trip
Thanks to generous donations from Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE) and Showkidz!, the Arts Track (and several students from other tracks) was able to go for a field trip to Spokane on Thursday, May 5th.
The day started at the Museum of Arts and Culture (MAC) where students viewed several different exhibits. The first was an exhibit showing how the museum puts together artifacts and displays. The second was of Norma Bassett Hall's incredible printmaking. Next was a display of the Nez Perce art of beading that was phenomenal, and the last was an interactive exhibit on buried treasure.
After a full morning at the museum, students and chaperones went to River Park Square for lunch and a bit of free time before heading over to the INB Performing Arts Center at 1:30 to watch the Broadway musical Newsies. It was a spectacular show with jaw-dropping dancing and singing.
Next week brings the last rehearsal and preparation time for the play performance on the 17th and the talent show on the 20th.
