A recent recipient of a SCAPC ‘educational opportunity award’ has announced their summer timetable:
The first of several summer workshops in the Keweenaw Krayons Ripple Effect Recycled Art Program, scheduled to be held at Keweenaw Krayons Art Center in Mohawk, will be held Wednesday, June 16, and Thursday, June 17 from 1 to 3 p.m.
On Wednesday Artist Len Novak will lead participants in the making of dreamcatchers and other garden art. There will also be an opportunity to work on the Keweenaw Krayons Garden Sculpture. On Thursday participants can attend Open Studio time to continue working on their projects with Len’s assistance. It is hoped that participants will learn the art medium and then teach it to others, thus creating a Ripple Effect.
Cost for the class, which includes supplies to make a dreamcatcher and/or a piece of garden art is $5. All ages are welcome, but youth younger than six are asked to bring an adult or older teen along. Participants are invited to bring special pieces such as shells, driftwood, etc., to add to their art piece. As always family discounts, bartering and scholarships are available. In case of rain, the workshop and open studio time will be held indoors.
In order to have enough supplies pre-registration is required. Call 337-4706 or email staff@keweenawkrayons.com
The summer workshops are sponsored in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, Copper Country Community Arts Council and the Denise Marth Memorial Grant though the Superior Child Abuse Prevention Council.

2009 “Human Services Information Round-Up”
In 2007, a CROSS SYSTEMS TRAINING event was held in Houghton which many of you attended. Our “Round-Up” will be the same format with two changes: the “Round-Up” will be in Hancock (Oct. 15) and Baraga (Nov. 12), and, during both events, there will be short presentations every half hour starting at 9:30 a.m.
We invite your organization or agency to be represented with a display table and staff to answer questions as well as showcase your services. And we’re also setting aside times for short presentations about new or revised programs. Your audience will be representatives of other service agencies and school personnel in our tri-county area. There’s nothing better than face-to-face and agency-to-agency conversation to spread the word about what’s available for those in need! Whether you have a table and/or opt to be a speaker, your presence will benefit everyone who attends the “Round-Up”.
If you would like to be a presenter (at one or both venues) and/or would like a table at the “Round-Up”, simply fill out the attached form and send with a check to the CCHSCB office
by Sept. 18. There are 5 slots of 10 minutes each during the “Round-Up”. We’ll notify you by Sept. 25 if you’ll be a speaker at either or both events. Please be sure to indicate which event(s) you and your staff will attend.
See you at the –
