A
Glass Act
DALE CHIHULY'S PROGRAM IN TAOS
When Kathy Kaperick was growing up she lacked anyone in her life to
give her direction -- much less inspiration. All that changed when she
met Dale Chihuly. Now Kaperick is director of an innovative program
designed to make a difference in the lives of young people. Modeled
on the successful Hilltop Artists-in-Residence program she and Chihuly
founded in Tacoma, Washington, a new studio which opened in May 1999
in Taos, New Mexico, is yet another effort to show young people there
is a better path in life than toward drugs and violence.

Welcome
to the home page of Alaskan Native artist Teri Rofkar
My Tlingit lineage links me with my Alaskan Native ancestors who have
been weaving baskets and ceremonial regalia on this coast for thousands
of years. Some of the trees I visit are several hundreds of years
old; they have known my family for many generations. The "Tree
People" have helped me in my journey as a weaver. In the Tlingit
culture we recognize that not only people, but animals, plants, objects
and places all have spirits

The IAIA was founded by visionaries who sought
to reawaken artistic traditions that had been a primary mode of Indian

to be premised on the value of the cultural heritage of America's Native

the contemporary arts were taught as a vehicle for that expression.
