Sullivan speaking on arts
for kids with disabilities
Kari Sullivan will speak about
Kaleidoscope before the community at
3 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 19. The event
is sponsored by the McNary Ladies Golf
Association Social Group. The public is
invited.
There is no cost to attend but food and
beverages will be available from the restau-
rant’s menu.
Kaleidoscope is an innovative arts expe-
rience for young people with developmen-
tal disabilities that Sullivan created for the
Virginia Children’s Theater.
The program utilizes movement, song
and imagination to enable students to shine
on stage. The goal is to provide youth with
special needs a fine arts experience, to grow
confidence and to spark a conversation and
redefinition of ‘disability’ into ‘exceptional
ability.’
Sullivan has more than 40 years of per-
formance experience, over 20 years experi-
ence as a K-12 educator.
SULLIVAN
She will bring the program to the Keizer-
Salem area in a partnership with Keizer
Homegrown Theatre.
Sullivan and her husband, Chip, moved
to Keizer, from Virginia, when he was
named PGA general manager of McNary
Golf Club. Kari Sullivan also serves as man-
ager of The View Restaurant at McNary
Golf Club.

Out with the old,
in with the new
River Road received its newest art piece when Entwined replaced Iron Glory.
Artists Ric Smith, Jordan Smith and Vonda Smith, of Smith and Steel Custom
Design, placed the new art on Wednesday, Aug. 4, in front of Copper Creek Mercantile.
The nine-foot tall green steel rendering of the entwined branches of a tree was cold
welded with leaves hammered by hand.
The Smith family, all of Keizer, removed Iron Glory, which will be updated with
color. A new site for that piece has not yet been chosen by the Keizer Public Arts
Commission. The artists own Smith and Steel Custom Design with a workshop on
Front Street near downtown Salem.
