Blue Moon on the Road

I was contacted last week by Sara Colburn who runs the Art Mobile of Montana. She was hoping that I would loan this tapestry to travel this school year with her collection of art that she takes around to various rural schools in the state. When she sent me the literature from her organization, I was amazed with what she has done. She gets a number of grants for the van and other needs and travels thousands of miles each year (Montana is a big state!), giving a presentation about the various works and also teaching hands-on art classes to the children. I am honored to be part of this program this year. I think she displays 20 or so pieces in various mediums which change every year. She talks with the children about them and asks them to look carefully at each piece so that they can discover the different styles of each artist. Some of the smaller schools don't have a regular art teacher so this is an important part of their education in art for the year.
