Arts to Elders hosts Raven at Seaport Landing 11/1

On Tuesday November 1, at 2:30 Arts to Elders presents a concert by Raven. This is a farewell concert at Seaport Landing for the popular multi-talented entertainer. Raven will be joined by guitar player Pastor Bill Wolfe,  the “Pickin Pastor of Port Townsend”, for this special event. Everyone is invited to attend. There is no admission fee.

Raven, who is planning a cross country trek to relocate in the Ashville, NC area has been a regular Arts to Elders presenter since the organization’s inception. His purpose is to bring participatory forms of entertainment and performing arts appreciation to residents who will in turn bring their own unique perspective to finding joy in a collaborative and creative process. “The opportunity afforded me by Arts to Elders in sharing music and stories with the residents of the various elder care facilities has been one of the most enriching experiences in my life.”

A versatile performing artist, Raven has enthralled audiences with his flutes, guitars, participatory songs, stories, readings and theatrics. His accompaniment by the virtuosic Pastor Bill Wolfe – with whom Raven has performed as Wolf Gang adds yet another exciting dimension to the coming event.

Join us at Seaport Landing, 1201 Hancock St.
Tuesday November 1, 2:20 – 4:30

The Washington State Arts Commission and Seattle Repertory Theatre, in collaboration with the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, 4Culture, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and the National Endowment for the Arts, present:

Teaching Artist Training Lab 2011-2012
An eight-month professional development program for Washington State teaching artists

The Washington State Arts Commission (WSAC) is partnering with Seattle Repertory Theatre and the Pacific Northwest Ballet to expand the Teaching Artist Training (TAT) Lab into an eight-month program that includes five full days of training, teleconferences, and mentorship with a cohort of 40 teaching artists from various artistic disciplines and regions across the state.

This training is appropriate for professional teaching artists with a variety of levels of experience, including those with as little as one-year paid experience looking for foundational knowledge; as well as experienced teaching artists looking to enhance or refresh their work particularly in the areas of assessment strategies and articulating lesson plans. For more detailed information, please download the PDF TAT Lab 2011-12 Overview.
