NEW ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM AT THE POMERENE CENTER FOR THE ARTS 3/14 /08
Susan Kundert came onto the Pomerene Center for the Arts Board last fall with an idea of starting an adult education program targeting Baby Boomers and beyond. Susan and husband Ernie traveled to a New Horizons Music program during the summer http://www.newhorizonsmusic.org/nhima.html and were so enthusiastic about the experience they have been eager to see something similar develop in Coshocton. Not just in music however, but in all the arts.
The Pomerene Board of Directors has embraced New Horizon’s core ideal of providing an entry points for folks with little or no experience in the arts or who have set their artistic activities aside for a long period of time. The programs that have been developed, playfully dubbed “OLD DOGS/NEW TRICKS” Confederacies, looks less like from-point-A/to-point-B traditional classes and more like learning communities. These confederacies (confederacy defined as a group of people who join together to do something) will provide opportunities for adults to gather on a regular basis to experiment and learn alongside each other under the leadership of a resident expert.
After floating the idea to guests at Chocolate Extravaganza with positive response, the Pomerene Center is ready to roll out the first of these communities. OLD DOGS/NEW TRICKS Oil Painting Confederacy will meet Thursdays, 6:30-8:30pm at the POMERENE CENTER FOR THE ARTS beginning March 13, 2008. Pomerene Center artist Kelsey Beck Schott will be the resident expert. There is a one-time fee of $35 to join the group and a $10 (per 2 hr.) session charge.
