The Black & White:10.10.10
Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 4pm
Mount Bachelor Village Resort Conference Center

For the last five years Arts Central’s annual Black & White has been the cornerstone of our fundraising efforts and an event that is well attended by over 150 business and community leaders, government officials and philanthropists from Bend and beyond that come together to support the changing role of arts and education in our community. This year, we are raising the bar, and have a goal of raising $100,000!
What you will be supporting:
Arts Central is transforming our entire arts education program for increased awareness, participation, and support. We have been working diligently behind the scenes laying the foundation for this new initiative which will continue to develop over the next few years.
Efforts include professional teacher training, building a new sequential learning inspired curriculum, embracing arts integration, and collaborating and partnering with business, government, and organizational leaders in support of this community endeavor.
Our new arts education integration initiative will involve utilizing our creative capacity, innovative thinking, and human potential to better facilitate the whole brain development of our youth (our future leaders) through creative learning.
This will include high quality exploration and experience in the visual and performing arts --dance, theater, visual art such as drawing, painting, collage, clay, printmaking, as the ways to engage thinking and more fully integrate all our capacities..to think, create, present, and imagine.
It is an ambitious vision launching an arts education paradigm shift; we welcome and appreciate your support this evening.
