Art Scholarship. This schol-
arship will enable Daniel to
pursue his dream of studying
industrial design at Western
Washington University. “It
truly feels unreal to have
such a supportive commu-
nity willing to invest in my
future,” he said.
“We know arts are an
essential building block in the
schools and are of great value
to the Sisters community,”
said Chris Davis, regional
director for Hayden Homes.
<It is Hayden Homes9 honor
to collaborate with Sisters
High School and the Sisters
Arts Association to showcase
the incredible talent of Sisters
Country youth through this
scholarship. Daniel9s art
adds the perfect touch to
our model home, and we are
excited to be able to show-
case such a unique piece.”
Daniel9s display piece is
a three-dimensional wooden
wall sculpture. “For this
piece, I have chosen to
depict motions of nature by
showcasing the patterns of a
snowdrift,” he said. “I was
backcountry skiing when I
encountered an untouched
meadow of beauteous wind
drifts that had an other-
worldly visual energy. It
is one of the elements that
makes the Northwest dis-
tinctly northwest.”
Hayden Homes has also
generously donated $200
to Sisters Arts Association,
which combined with a gift
of $100 from SAA will go
toward three gift certificates
to be drawn at random from
the names of visitors to the
36 artists on the Studio Tour.
Hayden Homes wel-
comes you to stop by and
see Daniel9s piece in person
during the Artist Studio Tour.
Masks are required inside the
model home and the number
of people permitted at one
time will be controlled to
ensure social distancing.

1666 W. McKinney Butte Rd.
It will be open Saturday from
11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday

Sisters Movie House will
semi-reopen this weekend
as part of the Artist Studio
Tour. Owner Drew Kaza
said that new artwork from
resident artist Davis Te Selle
will be featured in the lobby
area. Te Selle, who is based
in Portland, features iconic
trees at all stages of life. As
noted on Te Selle9s website,
“his work engages themes of
forbearance and resilience,
of wholeness in the face of
adversity,” a concept we can
all use more of at this time.
In Portland, he shows at
Sidestreet Arts.
Movie House hours will
be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
and Sunday. “We we will fire
up the popcorn kettle, though
not doing full food service,”
Kaza said. “We may end
up showing a few previews
depending on what9s avail-
able. This is an opportunity
for people to see the Movie
House and enjoy a bag of
popcorn.” It will still be some
time before the Movie House
can open fully.
