6 Wednesday, July 24, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Fourth Friday to feature art from orphanages Sisters residents and visitors will see a new twist in the Fourth Friday Art Walk this week. A clothesline display of art made by children who live in orphanages will be exhib- ited on the green space between Clearwater Gallery and the Gary Cooley Studios on West Cascade Avenue. Fifty pieces will be fea- tured in <Art From The Heart.= The unusual art display is hosted by Sisters non-profit World9s Children which supports 30 orphan- ages around the world. Support for the orphanages comes primarily from people who sponsor a child through World9s Children. At least once a year each sponsor receives artwork created by their child. The charity was impressed by the range of subjects chosen by the children for their art and made scanned cop- ies of the best drawings. On display at Friday9s Art Walk will be rural Indian village scenes, environmen- tal concerns relating to deforesta- tion, depictions of classical Indian dancers, and love between a mother and child. <Just because the fate of the young artists is to grow up in an orphanage, don9t expect to see grim art,= said Executive Director David Purviance. <People assume a chil- dren9s home is a sad place with an institutional feeling about it. But that is not the case with the homes we support, and people will see that reflected in Art from the Heart.= The artwork is for display only; none of the art is for sale. The exhibit is free and music and refreshments will be provided. New Service! We can now do... Class 1 FAA Physicals for Commercial Pilots $20 OF FAA Phys F your ical!
