In the Spotlight…
Once again PechaKucha will be entertaining, surprising and inspiring our Chewelah community as 6 presenters share their creative and artistic pursuits and discoveries, in a lively format of 20 images projected on a screen for 20 seconds each. This will take place on March 20 at Quartzite Brewery at 7:00 PM.
Sharon Ludwig and Gail Churape will be presenting COSTUMING. For 29 years Sharon and Gail have created and sewn costumes for Janet McLaughlin’s plays. Nemo is one of them. The title of Jan Greene’s presentation is CAPTURING THE PLACE. Her collections of acrylic and oil pastel art are playful interpretations of landscape. John Raymond will show us THE LIGHT. It’s a meditation on parents, inheritance, and being a human on this spinning blue marble. Connie Davis will offer us MOMENTS OF WONDER: The time between seeing and pressing the shutter. Tom Bristol will take us to CUBA. He will highlight the art and culture of Cuba, both past and present. Larah Ritchie will be bringing us THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION: with creativity, weirdness, and collaboration we can all do impossible things.s PechaKucha, put on by the Chewelah Arts Guild, is free, and usually packs the Brewery, so mark your calendar and DON’T BE LATE. Come Visit Us

CAG's Brand New
Arts in Schools Program The Chewelah Arts Guild is excited about its newest program, Arts in Schools. This program expands Arts experiences in area classrooms during regular school hours. A Registry of vetted local Artist Instructors and their projects allows classroom teachers to choose Arts lessons for their students that fit curriculum, student age level and learning goals.
The program pays Artist Instructors for their classroom time. Assistance is available for supply costs related to the Arts project. Lessons and projects may include watercolor, collage, printmaking, murals, poetry and writing, clay, fiber art, movement and dance, photography, and music-making. Local field trips guided by the Artist Instructor as part of a specific project may also be included in the Arts in Schools Program. Lessons in this program will inspire young art students! Program Co-Coordinators are Gail Churape: gail.churape@gmail.com and Susanne Griepp: sgriepp65@gmail.com. Download and print the Classroom Teacher forms here:
