“Fleeting as birdsong, as laughter; solid as bone and stone.
We create it and are re-created by it, our lives flowing like water into the stream of it.
It’s us, who we are and what we do in this place, in this time… our dreaming, singing, dancing, loving, working, playing, planting, tending, looking, learning, listening.
It’s us, delighting in our diversity, singing our own songs, choosing to become our best.”
—The late SALLY KESLER, silk screen/fiber artist, musician, and Arts Council charter member, wrote this for the Council’s 1979 brochure. We’re proud to share it again as we enter our 50th year.
