Parent & Toddler Art Classes These classes offer a process-oriented art experience. While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the creative process in an effort to elicit and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. Rather than simply following directions to construct prescribed art “products,” children in our classes learn to trust their own creative impulses while being supported by their parent or guardian. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of visual arts classes. Once classes are full, we cannot accept extra students.

Family clay night Fridays • 6 to 8:30 pm June 21 to August 23 No pre-registration Come as a family and play with clay! $20 a session per adult & child pair. $10 a session for each additional family member. Pay at MAC office.

Eight form Yang style Tai Chi is specifically developed to improve balance, strength, mobility in everyday activities.

By stretching the arms and legs, and massaging some specific points you provoke a deep yawn, thus nourishing the heart, calming the spirit and allowing for a nourishing and restful sleep.

“

It had been startling and

disappointing to me to find out

that story books had been written by people, that books were not natural wonders, coming up of themselves like grass. Yet regardless of where they come from, I cannot remember a time when I was not in love with them—with the books themselves, cover and binding and the paper they were printed on, with their smell and their weight and with their possession in my arms, captured and carried off to myself. Still illiterate, I was ready for them, committed to all the reading I could give them. ― Eudora Welty

Affirmation Bright winter light shines through tall Victorian windows into my great grandmother’s kitchen.

Nano stands over me poised and kind, full of song, story, and crow quill flourish.

Carefully she lifts the lid from the clear glass dish on the counter, scoops a bit of soft yellow butter into a teaspoon and lowers it to my four year old lips.

The butter melts across my tongue and in that moment promise is passed.

Use this workshop as a playground to turn your work on its head, inside out, and into something entirely different. Engage in games, conduct experiments, and impose rules to create works you never expected.

The results will be fun, silly, absurd, and exceptional. One hundred years of experimental writing techniques will be discussed and/or implemented, and maybe we’ll come up with some of our own.

City Budget Update

by Jennifer Yocom, Community Relations Manager, Portland Parks & Recreation As you may know, the City of Portland is facing a $25 million deficit for fiscal year 2013-14. Several factors have impacted this deficit including the Multnomah County Library District, the recent Department of Justice settlement, and budget notes from the FY 2012-13 Possible Adopted Budget. With that, 10% reduction the Mayor and City Council FY 2013-14 have asked all City bureaus, including Parks, to develop a budget based on 90% of their current budget (the Current Appropriation Level). That means Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) faces up to a 10% cut in programs and services.

While we don’t know what PP&R’s final budget will be at this point, it is possible that certain programs will be changed, reduced or eliminated, or fees will increase to help cover costs.

Follow the process at www.portlandoregon.gov/ parks/budget, and find out more about community budget forums where you can testify at www. portlandoregon.gov/cbo. The City’s final budget should be adopted in June and implemented on July 1, 2013, the first day of the new fiscal year.

The work of PP&R—its parks, natural areas, community centers, and programming—daily and directly affect the lives of Portland residents.

Follow what’s happening and consider attending and testifying at public meetings about the issues important to you.

please Support the Multnomah Arts Center to Increase Accessibility to Arts Education The Multnomah Arts Center Association is an all

Past fundraising efforts have helped ensure that our students learn in high quality arts facilities.

Now we need your support to provide access to individuals in need who want to develop their creative spirit.

INCLUSION SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in programs offered citywide.

How it Works 1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R site where the activity is being offered.

2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or on-line at www.

PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity (online, check the box.)

3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at 503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.

Important Details A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made as needed, and can be flexible and creative.

Participants need to register for activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.

Can you join a growing group of Multnomah Arts Center supporters as we work to provide arts for everyone?

If you have questions about Inclusion Services, please call 503-823-4328 V/TTY. A minimum of 10 business days (Monday-Friday) advance notice is required. The Inclusion Services staff will do their best to accommodate each participant.

Please visit: www.MultnomahArtsCenter.org and donate at a level that is comfortable for you.
