2012 Gallery Series
I can't believe the 2010 Gallery Series is coming closer to the end. We have three great shows up through Sept 10. Then, there are only two more exhibitions left. Time has surely flown by. But don't fear, we have a get set of shows for 2011 all scheduled. As we realize how fast time has gone, we start to think to the future: 2012. We are accepting applications for exhibition in 2012. All the information is available online. The deadline for applications is November 12, 2010. Of course, if you have any questions contact Paige. She has all the answers, or will at least find them.

Fall ASAP
Everyone has been asking and anticipating the fall schedule. Well, the brochure is finally done! We have lots of new classes, all of which sound very exciting: songwriting, tattoo art and design, artful travel. Of course, we have brought back the dance classes, clay arts classes, and 2-D arts for the younger students, and the DJ Spin classes. Everything is available on the website, including enrollment, www.tippecanoearts.org

ARTreach--keep the instruments coming!
In May 2010, the Tippecanoe Arts Federation announced the launch of ARTreach, a musical lending library outreach program. Through the generosity of the community, the Federation collected over 55 musical instruments from flutes and clarinets to guitars and accordions. "The community has generously surpassed our initial expectations," states Executive Director, Tetia Lee.
While the Federation is looking towards the second phase, purchasing a brand new instrument for each instrument donated, they are still conducting the Instruments in the Attic campaign. The community is asked to continue donating old or no longer used band and orchestral instruments.
This program seeks to benefit the area youth who could not otherwise afford the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. This program is made possible through a generous grant from North Central Health Services (NCHS) which allows for the creation and implementation of the ARTreach program in Tippecanoe County.
ARTreach is intended to provide Tippecanoe County students at the 6th grade level with the opportunity to learn an instrument. The concept of the lending library is to provide an instrument to a student that could be used for multiple years. The instruments will be reissued when they become available to cultivate an additional student's interest in music. "It is our hope that this exposure to music during these critical years will cultivate life long enthusiasts for the arts and aid in the development of the child's cross discipline education" states Lee.
