members who are doing great things in our community.
Michael Callahan - Shoreline
Teacher at Cascade K-8, Arts Grant Recipient
I
think you're going to get better scientists, engineers, and
mathematicians as a result of the kind of divergent thinking that the
arts are contributing. Creativity is something we need in this world to
solve alot of problems.
Art
allows some kids who may not be successful in some areas to find
success in an area and we build on success, and that’s what education is
all about. Art is important to all kids because it supports creative
expression, (and) creativity is something we need in this world to solve
a lot of problems.
I
always get the feeling that (the Arts Council is) there to support me.
They say “What do you need to get the job done? Explain to us how it’s
going to impact the greatest number of kids.” I appreciate that in an
organization, because we have limited funds so it’s important that we
see the greatest return on investment.”
Join Michael and become a member of the Arts Council. Individual memberships start at
just $35, and you’ll not only receive great member perks, you’ll also
get to bask in the warm glow that comes with knowing you’ve helped
foster creativity in your community. Stand with your neighbors who
together, over the last 25 years, have invested over $3 million in arts and arts education right here in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
