The next phase of "SiteTime," the current exhibit in the Council's Sculpture Garden, will be unveiled Friday, January 5. A site-specific performance choreographed by Erika Senft Miller will involve dancers moving through projected images, surrounded by sound, light, and lasers amplifying the actions. A new sculpture by Nancy Winship Milliken will enhance the environment. Other surprises are expected.

The event will unfold from 5 to 7 p.m. at 136 State Street. We will offer hot cider inside, but dress warmly!

Learning through the arts is central to the Council's mission. Each year, the Council supports dozens of Artists in Schools residencies that draw from the Teaching Artist Roster. To be included in the Roster, teaching artists are expected to have a high degree of artistic excellence, well-established teaching abilities, and outstanding collaborative planning skills.

Artists are invited to apply for inclusion in the 2018-2019 Teaching Artist Roster. The application form and guidelines are available online and the deadline is March 24, 2018.
