GATHERING OF THE ARTS TEAM
[no art experience required] On this ‘arrival night’, we will get acquainted, plan a schedule of studio shifts, unpack and organize art supplies and prepare for the Mural and Mask workshops Monday morning. During the week we will steward the studio, its supplies and welcome workshops participants. This open, informal group may become a think/feel-tank about how the arts program can best serve our conference this year and in future.

LISTEN! CLASSICAL MUSIC!
Presenter, Barbara Kelly, Boulder Meeting. Quakers value silence greatly and breaking it demands something worthy of the interruption. So, what about music? Isn’t music an accompaniment to silence that doesn’t break but rather adds to it? If you agree, bring a CD of the music that transports you to sacredness. Come share your favorite with others who cherish music. We will listen, reflect and discern. Everyone is welcome.
