This is the first of several gatherings meant to connect young people with adults, especially those interested in art. One purpose of the program, funded in part by an Oregon Humanities grant, is to begin bringing creative young people into connection with the Southern Oregon Guild of Artists and Artisans and with adults who can support their growth in the arts and in their lives. The other side of that purpose is to encourage young people to share their skills with the adults (e.g. their skill with contemporary technology). The Guild also hopes to have some impact on bridging the age gap in the community and begin developing strong relationships between the Guild and the schools. There will be a lunch and social from noon to 12:30 p.m. followed by an interactive program from 12:30 to 2 p.m.
