Summer Arts Festival 2010
Wanted: interesting kids ages 5 to 15. Must like to make things & be full of ideas. Sign up to make bracelets, create paintings, master calligraphy, build a book from scratch, needle your way through a bunch of fabric or turn broken sticks into snazzy dolls at our free workshops.
All we ask is that you use your hands, use your mind, use your imagination and make something you’ll be proud of this summer. Here's the deal - the friendly people and businesses of Allegany County are sponsoring a bunch of free art classes for kids through the ongoing program of the Allegany Arts Association.
People came up with this idea in the 1980s and every year the Allegany Arts Association has tried to get the word out about classes. Willie Allen was the executive director of the AAA for years and years and she managed to organize the classes and spread the word. Dear Willie is gone but a group of her friends worked up this new schedule for 2010. We just need the kids.
Here are our free classes. Yes, free. You need to register and then find your own transportation. Attend with a friend and share the driving.

Free Summer Art Classes for children
Click on the image to enlargeClaudia Gildner, member of Wellsville Art Association, no class size limit, Register for Watercolor only or Pastels only or both.
Sally Danheim - will teach one class meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays all July. She will work with a small group of 5 and 6 year olds to teach drawing and painting with watercolors.
Linda Monsell - will teach her class in 2 different locations. One is at the Trinity Lutheran Daycare but any child may attend that class even if not enrolled in daycare.
Bonnie Leigh offers Making a book - starting with paper and ending with a page turner.
Elaine Hardman will talk about news vs. opinion and try to help students find and write stories to submit to the editor of the Alfred Sun. It will be very helpful for students to have digital camera to capture the news but the plan is to work in pairs so one camera per pair is enough. Nothing fancy please.
Karen Dickerson finds designs in rocks and rocks in designs. She just rocks. Bring a rock or two and she will have the paint. Again, 2 locations to help ease driving for parents.
Lillian Thiel Milliman will put elegance into your alphabet with Calligraphy in Fillmore.
Betsy Orlando is an internationally recognized art doll artist and a great teacher. Join her in Belmont.
Carol Riggs is an artist with a pastry dough.
Kristen Vossler Wigent will help students make bracelets with wood, bone, feathers and stone - natural materials.
Joan Sinclair knows all about decorating fabric with a needle, thread, beads and imagination.
Meredith Chilson is part of Green Circle Grove where she is a sewing marvel.
Linda Staiger is conducting vocal groups at Alfred State College after retiring from teaching music at Alfred Almond. She will work with children and parents to compose and record musical numbers with common household objects. She just has to work out where and when it can fit into the schedule of the building she hopes to use in Almond.

WHO IS SHE?
ANDREA SCHOENTHAL
Allegany Arts Association
4TH ANNUAL POETRY SLAM
WINNING POEM: 2ND PLACE
WHO IS SHE?
She is a woman who cries at parades and carnivals, school plays and television commercials.
She is someone people take care of.
A survivor of childhood wounds and adult illness,
She surprises herself at times with her strength,
And at other times with her neediness.
She has known grief and joy, pain and healing, anger and acceptance, guilt and forgiveness.
She is daughter, sister, wife, mother,
Mother-in-law, friend, neighbor, parishioner,
Niece, aunt, great aunt, cousin,
Cat owner, home owner, volunteer, homemaker, writer.
Although she grew up listening to Elvis, Duane Eddy, Ricky Nelson and Roy Orbison,
It wasn’t until the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that she revealed she’s still a rock fan.
Listening now to the local oldies station,
She cries when she hears Elvis sing: “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”
Who is she? Is she you? Is she me?
