Art Adventure offers several programs for underserved and at-risk children who may not have access or support to pur sue their artistic vision. Museum of Warm Springs Director Carol Leone and Apolonia Santos will head up the outreach program with support from museum staff members Natalie Kirk and Dora Goudy. The group will try to create a process that will encourage lo cal teens to enroll in the Art Adventure program. The summer program is open to aspiring artists 17-18 years of age. Selected individuals will travel to Portland and stay on the Oregon College of Arts and Craft campus June 21-25. An adult chaperone will stay with the teen artists through the weeklong program. Santos, Kah-Nec-Ta Gallery Curator and Tribal Art Consult ant, initially facilitated the col laborative effort. Santos and tribal artists Pat Gold-Courtney met with college president Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson in January to launch the project and provide background on the community. In May of this year the col lege extended an invitation to Warm Springs teens to engage in Art Adventures. A pilot project was designed specifically in the arts to accommodate the goals and aspirations of Native youth. Approximately 1,000 young artists take part in the Art Ad venture program each year. Coordinators are hoping to de velop a long-term relationship between the community of Warm Springs and Oregon Col lege of Arts and Craft.

School (Continued from page 1 1) Other times they are examining the student's motives on a bad decision they made. Sometimes he has surprised a student by asking them a question. 'Are my grandchildren going to be safe when you're a leader?' , Leadership is important to Kalama and he's seeing more of it in school administration. Principal Gary Carlton and Vice Principal Ken Clark hold each child responsible for their own actions. They talk with the kids and ask them what problems they're facing and what the school district can do to help them. They spend a lot of time in the hallways smiling and interacting with the kids. ; In one case, Kalama reports, one youngster was so interested in talking with Ken Clark, that he was following in his footsteps as he walked down the hall, even though he'd recently been suspended. "That's true leadership," says Kalama. Kalama reports that English teacher Mike Bittorf, Spanish teacher George Talman and aide Jesse Macias are all well liked and trusted by the Native kids. It's not just these teachers. I'm seeing a lot more teachers coming forward and asking for help in dealing with Native kids," he says. "Teachers are concerned - positive and negative. Fortunately, the positive things that are being shared are out weighing the negative." But perhaps the best sign of all is parents and the kids. "I'm seeing more parents call, I'm seeing more parents be concerned about the grades of their kids," he says. "There are some awesome kids here at the high school."
