TRAC focused on heritage
in 2006/07 in our school art residencies. Quilter
Alice Wiley, musician/historian Terry McKinney, Native
American storyteller Jacque Redleaf, and Appalachian
storyteller Arlene Broyles worked in our schools
providing a vast array of experiences and hands-on
activities on heritage. Together the artists will
have taught 27 weeks of their craft in Mitchell and
Yancey County schools. |

Artists meet with students in a hands-on activity for 5
contact hours a week. In addition to the
residencies, TRAC also sponsored a teacher training
workshop that focused on using "heritage" in the
classroom.
In January and
February, two special education exhibits featuring
student artwork were displayed at the TRAC Galleries. |
