The Curry Arts board took action at their September 28 annual meeting, to donate $1,500 to the Gold Beach arts and music programs.

These funds were raised through a combination of donations, membership dues, and fundraising efforts.

This raises the total donated by Curry Arts to these important local programs to nearly $32,000 in the past several years.

The instructional donations are made to a “290 Fund” that is managed by the classroom teachers and used to purchase art and music supplies. The donations cannot be used to replace school funding that is diverted for other purposes.

This year, part of the contribution to the arts program will be used to purchase supplies for students to participate in the “Tiny Art Show” being sponsored at the Curry Public Library.

It is because of the generosity of our members that we are able to continue these important contributions.

Thanks to all who participate!

The Curry Arts booth at the Party in the Park on July 15 was once again a ROCKIN’ success!

Over 250 rockin’, flat river rocks were painted by children (and some adults!) of all ages.  Paintings included pirates, fish, Mermaids and other under-sea life, and many unique personal designs.

Curry Arts hopes that painting these rocks, in some small way, inspires these talented kids to find time for art elsewhere in their lives.

A big SHOUT OUT to Tammy Delaney for organizing the booth and to all the Curry Arts members who helped make this such a successful and ROCKIN’ fun day!

A good time was had by all.

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday, July 15, has been set for this year’s Party in the Park, at Buffington Park in Gold Beach.

This year’s theme is “Pirates & Mermaids.”

Curry Arts will once again sponsor a booth to spread the word about our organization and to encourage children to explore their creativity!

Children will be able to decorate local river rocks with pirates, mermaids, and their own creative designs.

Please join us for a fun day with the creative Gold Beach kids!

Curry Arts member Tammy Delaney captured last year’s fun in this colorful work!
