Summer program for aspiring artists
, The Museum at Warm
Springs will be working to fa
cilitate outreach in the tribal
community for the Art Adven
ture program being offereJ by
the Oregon College of Art and
Craft in Portland this summer.
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.

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."
