New England Consortium of Artist-Educator Professionals

July 6, 2010

Call for artist-educators

The New England Consortium of Artist-Educator Professionals (NECAP) is seeking proposals from teaching artists in all disciplines for workshops at the annual “Widening the Circle” conference, set for Thursday, September 23, in Brattleboro, Vermont.

The conference, “Play Is the Thing: The Serious Work of Play,” will focus on the importance of play in the field of teaching artistry, exploring the question: “What does play have to do with my work as an artist educator?”

Deadline for submissions is July 12. You can download the RFP — and check out great professional development opportunities including the Connecticut HOT School Institute — on the NECAP website.

If you have questions please email: necap@aannh.org

Raspberries!

July 6, 2010

MMMMMMMM!

I couldn’t let the day go by without sharing this photo of the bowl of raspberries my younger son and I picked yesterday morning (11 quarts)! We had great picking at a new place for us, located in Freedom! We picked early so we could spend the rest of the warm day at Pemaquid Beach.

After our return from the beach we made raspberry jam, a sauce and sponge cake to put it on. It was DELICIOUS!
