Earth Arts NW

Earth Spirits Exhibit See the video

This Spring's Gathering of Cascadians was intimate, lively and inspiring. Thanks to our wonderful friend Marlene Andrejco here are a few snapshots of the event.

Earth Arts NW awakens again this Spring with a wonderful new parent organization - Cerimon House. We're honoring the renewal of earth, community and inviting new friends and old to join us as we Celebrate with a Gathering of Cascadians! Hope to see you there!

In 2003 at just this time of year, Judith Yeckel and I launched our first Earth Arts NW residencies in Portland. Ten years later, Earth Arts programming comes to a close. I'm deeply grateful to the many individuals and foundations who made this work possible, and to the Earth & Spirit Council for its long-standing sponsorship. I want to celebrate Earth Art's teaching artists and the thousands of children whose imaginations, curiosity, dreams and artistry enriched our lives. So . . . I'll be posting artwork from time to time, created by our wonderful dreamers . . . children of the 21st century. For children's privacy, no names are shared.

This spring 4th and 5th grade students at Ardenwald and Beach Schools created animal masks while learning about regional species and Native American tribes of the Pacific NW Coast.
