The Votes Are In!

Flash! From "Art Comes To The Arc" voting central, here's Art.

Input Needed

We have a disagreement brewing at the OTC. It involves the Kingsway Learning Center "Here Comes The Sun" painting. The question is, should this work be displayed without a frame as it is shown here, or should it be displayed with a frame? What do you think?

A Random Act of Kindness

A group of students from the Kingsway Learning Center recently toured The Occupational Training Center (OTC). A few weeks later, the students from Room 11 donated this beautiful painting entitled "Here Comes The Sun". They said that it was a "Random Act of Kindness" from them to our facility. This was a wonderful gesture that we are very grateful for. "Here Comes The Sun" proudly hangs in our cafeteria area to brighten our days and to remind us of the generosity of these great students. Thank You!

Walter Bell Returns To Perform!

Jazz flutist Walter Bell and his group will be performing at the art show and sale again this year. Last year, his performance added just the right touch to the show's ambience to make the event a really class act. This will be Walter's third appearance at an Agency event, having also performed at the agency's 50th anniversary celebration. Not being a music critic myself, all I can say is that he is a wonderful performer who is great to listen to. Shaun Brady of Music Picks says's of Walter's 9th CD "Live in Sedona" "Bell is a tireless champion of his much-neglected instrument, taking any opportunity to tout himself as one of the rare jazz performers who play flute exclusively. And it shows; being completely self-taught, Bell's sharp lines never collapse into the thin breathiness that mars many sax player's attempts." You can see and hear Walter perform on You Tube!
