I have the newest article for the work paper done! Please give me some sort of input on it! I tried to make this one less corny, since it's a volunteer piece.
Time to interact!
Tucked away in Minneapolis’ North Loop neighborhood is the Interact Center for the Visual and Performing Arts. They are a nonprofit organization that offers professional level training to artists with disabilities in theater arts, visual arts and writing. The bright paintings pop from the brick walls as you walk down the hall from the entrance. The sound of laughter leads you into the magical place, which is filled with smiles. The Interact Center is recognized as a national leader in progressively pairing social services with the arts to shift society’s view of disabilities away from deficits and towards limitless possibility. They work with numerous local artists who gladly come into help teach workshops in different art mediums from ceramics to woodcarving. The skill involved in some of the projects is simply amazing! The theater section works together to write and produce two original performances a year! They have been working with the Mixed Blood Theater on their latest performance, Sindibad. The fun, positive attitude seems to spread through out the place as easily as the paint does! They are looking for volunteers to help with everything from studio assistants to special events volunteers. If you don’t have time to volunteer for this amazing organization, please consider donating to them. You can find more information on their website www.interactcenter.com or at 612-339-5145.
