As summer draws to a close, teachers across Oregon are readying lesson plans for the start of a new school year. But for school districts in rural parts of the state, budgetary constraints may mean that arts literacy and the benefits it offers students aren’t included in the curriculum.  Since 2020, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology on the central Oregon coast has been helping fill that need through a monthly youth arts program. It originally served 500 students at two schools in Tillamook County. Oregon ArtsWatch recently reported on the expansion of the program which is launching this fall with a new name, K-8 Create, to serve more than 5,000 students across 17 schools on the coast, from Astoria to Waldport. Ninety-five percent of the students qualify for free or reduced meals and for many, Sitka’s monthly lessons offer the only art instruction they get at school. Alison Dennis is the executive director of the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. Leeauna Perry is Sitka’s youth program director. They join us to talk about the impact the K-8 Create program is having in rural coastal communities.

Elizabeth Tomlin and Professor Catherine Cavadini share a conversation about a new family book, Saints: A Family Story, that she co-authored with her Father Professor John Cavadini of the University of Notre Dame. In this episode we talk about ways that Katie's family has integrated the saints and the Catholic faith into their family - through a habit of prayer, storytelling, and reading. The book arose from John sending “coupons” to his grandchildren during the pandemic, on which they could request a story of saint. John began writing saint stories to his grandchildren, and together, John and Katie compiled this collection of saint stories to share more broadly. Saints is gorgeously illustrated by Tess Cassady in a way that brings each of these saints to life and invites reader to imagine these  holy people are our family members – because they are.  You can can find a PDF of some of the illustrations is on Paraclete Press's website DG-9781640607545.pdf Link to Saints: A Family Story Author and Illustrator Bios Dr. Catherine Cavadini Katie is Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Notre Dame where she directs the Masters of Arts Program in Theology.

The new program begins this month with the first edition on January 17. After that, it will be held quarterly. The first programs feature two Suwanee Arts Center Photographers: Traci Dickson, who will present “The Photographer's Eye — The Wonder of Looking Closely,” for children ages 10-13; and Gary Bowlick, who will present “The Wonder of Photography: Light, Subject and Composition,” for adults interested in gaining knowledge about photography. Both one-hour programs will take place simultaneously at the Suwanee Library, located at 361 Main St., at 4 p.m. Suwanee Arts Center board member Rhonda Starling and Radha Ashok, who is branch manager of the Suwanee Public Library, are the co-creators of Art Ties. Although the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band enjoyed a great deal of success with a host of radio-friendly songs, there's little question that the group's signature creation was the 1972 album “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” which paired the band with country and bluegrass legends like Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Vassar Clements, Merle Travis, Mother Maybelle Carter and Roy Acuff. The three-record release was a bestseller, yielded two subsequent albums and has been lauded as a vital link between Nashville royalty and the rock music community, lifting the veil on what was to one day be regarded as the Americana music movement. String wizard John McEuen, a founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, was among the key architects in the construction of “Circle” and is back on the road this winter, celebrating the group's opus with a concert full of songs and stories from the celebrated release, which is back on the charts thanks to Ken Burns' 2019 docu-series “Country Music,” an episode of which prominently featured McEuen, the Dirt Band and “Circle.” The celebrated guitarist, banjo picker and mandolinist, who in December celebrated his 77th birthday, and the Circle Band will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 14 at Eddie's Attic in Decatur. Although the album has been around for more than 50 years, McEuen said its songs have long been part of his repertoire.

Welcome to episode 46 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.This week my guest is Susan Slotnick. Susan shares her incredible journey from juvenile delinquency to college graduate, choreographer, artist, author, social justice advocate, and going into the prison system to teach dance twice a week to incarcerated men for twenty years.  Susan had a difficult childhood. As a young child Susan was labeled a juvenile delinquent and back then children who fit that description were issued cards to carry. Susan rebelled, flunked out of school and befriended people with complicated lives. She did wind up going on one college interview that forever changed her path. Early experiences showed Susan how difficult life was for many and this instilled something in her to want to help marginalized, forgotten and disenfranchised individuals. Susan shares that she found her diary from when she was 12 years old. In it she was sharing her current struggles, but then wrote "but why do I believe in myself so much?" She knew in her heart that anything was possible even back then, and that innate belief continued to catapult her forward. During the interview she also shares a message about not committing the sin of lost hope! This is a very touching part of the conversation. Susan has helped change the perspective and mindset of countless incarcerated men by allowing them to experience emotions through teaching them modern dance twice a week at a correctional facility in NY state for 20 years. This was under the Rehabilitation Through the Arts Program. Her humanitarian work has been covered and praised by several media outlets. Susan's life work and dance company, Figures In Flight, has garnered much critical and professional acclaim. Numerous feature articles about her have appeared in dance magazines and she received the Dance Studio Magazine's "Caring Heart Award". She has been celebrated for Women's History Month as Huffington Post's "Greatest Woman of The Day" and featured in two radio documentaries. Susan was also featured in the documentary "The Game Changer" that won Best Documentary Short at both the Harlem and Cannes film festivals. Susan is the author of 'Flight: The Dance of Freedom' that is available on Amazon.Listen in to hear what Susan shares as her answer to the last question of, if I knew then, what I know now.

With the words “You can have it all, but not at the same time,” Shonda Rhimes gave thousands of women permission to reevaluate the unrealistic expectations they had been imposing on themselves. Our guest today is all too familiar with the consequences of this dilemma. In today's episode of the Cohort Sistas podcast, we meet up with Dr. Latoya Watson. She is the mother of two young girls and currently works as the Assistant Dean of the Associate in Arts Program at the University of Delaware. Dr. Watson worked in higher education administration after finishing college at the University of Delaware and completed her EdD in Educational Leadership at the University of Delaware while working full-time at the same institution. Dr. Watson discusses the benefits of remaining at one institution for all three of her degrees, and how she was able to leverage her work in a university setting to apply to her master's and doctoral programs. We hear from Dr. Watson about the difficulty that comes with caring for a sick child while studying and how she managed to navigate motherhood, marriage, and her family's health struggles while pursuing her doctoral degree. Later Dr. Watson unpacks her dissertation topic entitled Equity Mindedness and Equity Advising and how it forms the core of who she is. We loved having Dr. Watson on the show and we're sure you will find the conversation every bit as stimulating as we did.
