Question #1
Theater - Eau Claire Children's Theater; Chippewa Valley Theater
Guild
Media Arts - I graduated as an Art Major, and am trained as a metalsmith.
I have shown my work in the Eau Claire area, and I like to attend shows
by other local artists. I've also participated in art classes at UWEC
through their community education program.
Music - Sounds Like Summer, Phoenix Park; Clearwater Music Camp, UWEC;
Chippewa Valley Symphony Orchestra;
Literary Arts - I worked for several years as a parent volunteer with
Pedersen Elementary (Altoona) at the Young Author's Conference at UWEC
Dance - The Forum Artists Series
Other - Chalkfest, movies in the Alley and at Owen Park; various school
performances; Taste of Eau Claire; Sawdust City Days; International Festival
and many other festivals and art fairs; Farmers Markets, etc; Monday night
music on campus UWEC, UWEC Film Series. My family and I love to attend
community events as often as we are able.
Comments - From the day my husband and I moved to the Chippewa Valley,
we realized there was far more to do here than we would EVER have the
time to participate in.
Question #2
The Chippewa Valley is rich in well-established groups and organizations
that have proven their ability to attract audiences, and we are equally
lucky to have strong, new organizations that have sparked interest in
the arts. We're fortunate to have this strong base to build upon, and
I see enormous potential for the creative movement to continue to develop.
Question #3
Yes, keeping in mind our state's current financial situation.
Question #4
Without the arts our children are receiving an incomplete and unbalanced
education. I believe they are vital and should be available to all children
in schools and/or the community.
Question #5
Yes.
