Learn and create with us during an interactive ArtBreak that will highlight the power of sharing stories and experiences in order to unite communities! “The Rope Project” began in 2017 as an alternative arts initiative woven together by Education for the Arts’ visual teaching artists, whose hope was to bring students across the county together to share stories celebrating their community and their unique experiences. These stories are written on fabric and tied together to form a rope using a rope-making machine.
Gayle Swank-Reyes, with the help of her EFA advanced high school students, will discuss the history of the rope-making project and share some of the projects inspired by the ropes and the stories they hold. Attendees will then be invited to contribute their stories to a rope we will create together. This rope will later be incorporated into a project that EFA students will develop during the school year.
Preregistration is encouraged. Find out why.
In the event that a program is modified, postponed, or cancelled, we reach out via email to all who have preregistered. If a significant change is made on short notice, your preregistration helps to ensure that you get the word from us in the most timely manner possible.
Registering for programs in advance also helps our staff to assess set-up needs beforehand, reducing the need for last-minute adjustments to numbers of chairs, tables, etc. Further, it streamlines the check-in process when you arrive and allows us to keep you in the loop about other upcoming programs that might be of interest!
