Looking over past posts, it's hard to miss that garden posts outnumber others by something like 5 to 1. Time to address the gap. Let's start by meeting arts and community service organization that is probably iCreate's most important partner.
OFFCenter Community Arts Project hosts our music outreach classes, recitals and concerts (next one May 20th - watch for more about it!) at their community artspace in downtown Albuquerque. Programs include a wide range of workshops, working groups and an emerging artists program. Albuquirky House Tour on May 7th and the Folk Arts Festival in September are two events you are likely to already be familiar with. House Tour tickets available now, and you can submit your own quirky Mini House creation until the end of April: "Little House's" call for Artists.
Even if your interest is in the Community Garden rather than creative mentoring outreach projects (just music at the moment but have included writing and could - in my opinion should - include other arts), please take the time to learn more about our partners and their programs, starting with OFFCenter. Information on the two exhibits below is from the latest OFFCenter email notice, being blogged in pieces for formatting convenience.

Gallery Exhibit Opening - Friday, April 1st, 5 - 8 pm
OFFCenter Arts is honored to host an exhibit of artwork which was created in response to the "Through a Narrow Window: Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and Her Terezin Students" Exhibit which was presented by UNM Associate Professor Dr. Linney Wix at the UNM Art Museum in Feb. and March. "Through a Narrow Window..." was a unique exhibit containing more than 50 works created in early 1943 by artist/teacher Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and her students in the Terezin concentration camp in former Czechoslovakia. Dicker-Brandeis utilized her Bauhaus training to teach art to the children and youth during their internment in the concentration camp 50 miles north of Prague. Dr. Wix conducted response art making/writing workshops in conjunction with the exhibit, as well as artists in the OFFCenter community were invited to see the "Through the Narrow Window..." exhibit and create artwork in response to: the children's artwork; what they learned about Terezin; the children interned there or artist/teacher Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. |
