Sisters
enjoys lively kite art stroll Rainy weather
couldn't dampen the spirits of local art lovers, who turned out to take
in 25 pieces of kite-inspired art at the KiteStrings 2003 Art Stroll on
Friday, March 21.
The KiteStrings series of
art events will culminate in an art auction, proceeds from which will
benefit the Sisters Folk Festival Americana Project. The Americana Project
introduces high school students to American roots music, songwriting and
musicianship through interdisciplinary classes at Sisters High School.
Sisters shops and galleries
hosted works of various local artists -- from paintings to ironwork --
all inspired by the form and function of the kite.
In keeping with the musical
roots of the project, many venues offered live music. The evening culminated
in a giant, impromptu jam session at Sisters Athletic Club that featured
more than a dozen local musicians and an enthusiastic audience.
The next KiteStrings event
is a community Kite Fly and Auction set for Saturday, April 12, at Squaw
Creek Ranch off Camp Polk Road.
The Kite Fly is scheduled
for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes kite workshops, building and flying.
The day of family entertainment will also include music from Americana
Project students.
An auction of the kite-related
art seen at the Art Stroll will follow at 6 p.m. at the same location.
