Teaching Artist Training Lab 2011-2012

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.

Readings Anthology

NORTHWIND 2010, an anthology of work read during the 2010 Northwind Reading Series is now available for purchase for $6.00 at the Northwind Arts Center. The anthology is not the complete works read aloud during the Thursday evenings of 2010, but contains choice representative selections from as many writers as possible.

NORTHWIND 2010 is printed by Minotaur Press Editor Jim Watson-Gove.

Gallery Enhancements

In January the expanded Northwind Arts Center Artist Showcase gallery was enhanced with new flooring, lighting improvements, and a good coat of paint.

All the artists have hung new works, so come to the gallery between noon and 5 pm, Thursday through Monday to  enjoy the work of many artists in this spacious display area.

The new flooring in here really brightens the room, and will be a big improvement for clean up after art workshops or special events at when food is served.

Also notice that the Center benefits from the visibility of the newest sculpture for sale at the gallery: the outdoor art piece “Portal” by John Liczwinko.

You can view a dimensioned floorplan of the gallery to see the viewing and worshop space.

Northwind Arts Center Expansion

Northwind Arts Alliance has expanded to provide two adjacent exhibition spaces. The newer area is the Artist Showcase gallery. The Arts Center, a non-profit organization “connecting the arts with the community”, add an additional 800 square feet in 2009. This new space is dedicated to showcasing local artists work, and is also be available for workshops and other arts events.

“An expansion into the adjoining space next to our gallery was a great opportunity.  The space will allow us to offer artists’ works in a spacious, convenient location.  Port Townsend has gained a strong reputation for wonderful art galleries and talented artists. In spite of economic uncertainty and a challenging ferry situation, people always look to the arts to elevate their spirits, and we will offer an inspiring selection of art.”

Join us during Art Walk on the first Saturday of each month from 5:30 to 8 pm for the openings of each new exhibit in the original gallery space, and also see the latest works displayed in the Artist Showcase . The art center and gallery is open Wednesday through Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) from noon to 5 PM.
