CraftKids asks students to explore the interplay between form and function in craft through carefully looking at the Museum�s collection and temporary exhibitions. Through a 60-minute session, students are introduced to craft by
considering the role it plays in their daily lives. Tours are inquiry- and discussion-based, guiding students as they learn to look at objects in new and meaningful ways. Thematic tours focus on materials, process, identity in craft, positive and negative space, and more.

Reservations are required a minimum of two weeks in advance. Please provide the requested date and time, contact name, contact information, as well as the number and grade level of students.

Resonance welcomes Dr. Bruce Browne to conduct this French musical feast! Because our Artistic Director Katherine FitzGibbon is away on sabbatical from Lewis & Clark researching German requiems in the Third Reich in Berlin, we have the wonderful opportunity to work with Bruce Browne, retired from Portland State University, Portland Symphonic Choir, and Choral Cross-Ties. Dr. Browne will take us on a musical journey through exceptional French literature, designed to mirror an extravagant multi-course French meal. The main course will consist of movements from Poulenc's anti-war Figure Humaine and works from Janequin to Ravel, but we promise to have some fun "amuse-bouche" to tickle your musical palate: French folk music, music from Haiti, and even some French chansons by none other than Leonard Bernstein. In true Resonance style, we are pairing each musical course with visual art projections, selected by Lewis & Clark art professor Benjamin David.

To get you in the mood, we invite you to join us for our end-of-season French reception at an elegant nearby home prior to the June 2nd concert in Portland, with French wines, cheeses, and pastries. Assur�ment d�licieux! Tickets for this special reception are $25 (ages 21 and over only, please). The reception begins at 6:00 p.m. and will include brief remarks by Benjamin David.

Our June 2nd performance is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and Work for Art.
