![]() It is almost March: Youth Art Month The entries are in Des Moines. Plan to be at the YAM Reception on Sunday, March 7, 2010. More info... The YAM Committee is looking for slightly used art supplies, samples, or new art items... that you can donate. Elementary students are given a ticket at the YAM reception and may win a basket full of art stuff. Contact Susan Noonan for information on how to donate. Student works have been selected to appear at the Cultural Advocacy Day on Feb. 17. It was the intention to use all of the work not selected for YAM, but due to limited display space, it was necessary to select a smaller number of works. Here is the list of student artists whose work will be shown. |

| PRAIRIE VISIONS INSTITUTE 2010 The Prairie Visions Institute for 2010 is being postponed until June 2011. The necessary funds to provide for Nebraska educators to attend the four day workshop in arts integration is not available. The funding for Nebraska educators comes from the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and due to the economic situation over the past year, the endowment has not generated the funding. To quote an official “there will be no money for arts education projects derived from the Cultural Endowment. We are assured that this is only temporary and funds will be available next year. Other funding sources will also be explored over the next year for both Nebraska and Iowa educators." |
