We loved the Summer Art Program. The caliber of art instruction, materials and lessons was way beyond our expectations. There wasn't a class that didn't excite or intrigue our kids. As a parent it has inspired me to be more creative with my children and to continue to build their creative minds. Thank you so much! This program truly served our entire family and we are extremely lucky to have a Community Arts Center in Ignacio!

WHAT'S NEW
The demand for Dancing Spirit's work with youth continues to explode in all directions. Community organizations are seeking us out to work with their children and families, as we are considered "movers and shakers" on behalf of art, community and kids.
Right now we are in the midst of:
• Expanding our therapeutic arts curriculum into two local academies for the full-school year.
• Collaborating with the Tribal Justice program to design and pilot an arts-based "Wellness Court" program as an alternative to incarceration.
• Creating an exhibit space and mentorship program in the ELHI community center where youth and their families can show their creations.
