			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>The ARTreach Heroes are in the driver’s seat</em></strong></p>
<p>ARTreach is driving the arts to Katy and hosting an honorary event for all the people who are helping to steer the way. ARTreach’s Heroes Among Us Art Making Event is on Saturday, August 14th, 10:00- 4:00 p.m. and sponsored by Don McGill Toyota of Katy.  On this day, you will find over 100 ARTreach heroes in the lobby of Don McGill Toyota of Katy painting the ARTreach Art Car and participating in several collaborative projects that make a heroic statement about the importance of the arts in our community.</p>
<p><strong>ARTreach is putting the pedal to the metal and driving the art mission home.  Who are the heroes behind the wheel and driving the arts to Katy?</strong></p>
<p>ARTreach and The Heroes Among Us.  The heroes are represented by hundreds and hundreds of community donors and supporters of ARTreach.  ARTreach heroes are community volunteers, business friends and corporate sponsors.   ARTreach heroes include the board of directors, advisors, the staff and the generous supporters behind this arts education and outreach organization founded in Katy in 2003.   ARTreach is headquartered in Katy, Texas to serve the growing needs related to the arts in the tri county area.</p>
<p>“Many people are hearing about the great work being done through ARTreach and its subsidiaries.   This is why many community leaders and local businesses are very proud of their involvement in the success of this outreach organization”,  says Texas Senator Glenn Hegar, Katy resident and ARTreach hero,  “ARTreach is a community supported nonprofit that puts its resources directly into outreach programs to provide much need art programs and mentors to a growing list social service agencies, schools and underserved communities.   Their advocacy and willingness to share their resources is clearly advancing the arts education movement statewide, opening doors and paving the way for this nonprofit from Katy, Texas to have a tremendous impact on a very important population.”</p>
<p>“In addition to this,”  says Hegar,  “ARTreach is having an impact on our Katy families through their exemplary community programs and special events. ARTreach gallery openings and interactive art and music festivals improve the quality of life and creative atmosphere of Katy.   ARTreach community programs incorporate the heritage of Katy and share the arts connection throughout the district to include the unincorporated areas surrounding the City of Katy.   ARTreach is bridging the gap between three counties and sharing an influence that benefits the entire area.”</p>
<p>The public is invited to join the Heroes at the honorary event being held at Don McGill Toyota of Katy, on August 14th from 10-4 pm and help paint the ARTreach ART Car and create a community masterpiece.   Refreshments are provided by Berryhill Baja Grill of Cinco Ranch and Villagio Town Center, and Fish City Grill of LaCenterra. Other sponsors of the Heroic event include Absolutely! Magazine and Sweet Spirit Productions. See the ARTreach URGEWORKS Dancers- “Dancing with the Cars” performance at 2pm.</p>
<p>ARTreach Programs are made possible by individual donations, foundation grants, Texas Commission on the Arts,  and Community ART Partners.   ARTreach 2010 Select ART Partners include Don McGill Toyota of Katy, Marcel Group and the Villagio Town Center, and Agave Road of Katy.  2010 Signature ARTreach Event Sponsors include Agave Road of Katy, Firethorne,  Tradition Bank,  Berryhill Baja Grill in Cinco Ranch and Villagio Town Center.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At ARTreach, we believe that more individuals should have access to arts and arts education or other experiential activities that can improve their quality of life, regardless of income or background.  In turn, communities will benefit, by becoming healthier, and more positive, tolerant and attractive places to live and work.</p>
<p>Our organization puts these beliefs into action by designing, funding, and delivering art programs that can spark individuals’ creative thinking, promote positive outlooks, improve self-confidence, widen horizons and teach life skills that improve tolerance, compassion, and otherwise promote the health and well-being of citizens of our tri-county area.</p>
<p>Since 2003,  ARTreach has served the neediest populations through our effective collaborations with local social service agencies, senior centers, and our Independent School Districts. Our program directors, artists and volunteers are trained in teaching methods that are arts-based and relevant to the populations we serve.  We have measured and documented the outstanding results of these programs, in partnership with our sponsor schools, centers and agencies.</p>
<p>ARTreach Programs are ranked the highest in integrity, impact and capacity by the Texas Commission on the Arts State review panel.  If you are a Social Service agency, a non-profit organization, a PTA or school – even a City can now ask the State for funding to bring any of the ARTreach programs to wherever you need ART to be.</p>
<p>We would like to ask the City of Katy and the residents of all surrounding counties to invest in our community’s success and support the arts now.  Contact ARTreach, Ask for more Art in our community.</p>
<p><strong>Art makes a difference, so does your support.</strong></p>

<p>Stop by Garden Cafe in the Village of Old Katy and see a unique ARTreach exhibition in the café gallery. This is the starting point of a destination tour that features a collection of original artwork created in ARTreach’s first international outreach mission to Africa. This exhibition tour features the original artwork created by 36 Uganda artists and is called the ART of Africa.</p>

<p><strong>About the mission</strong><br />
Individuals living in Uganda are struggling in poverty resulting from years of economic mismanagement and political turmoil.  The International ARTreach mission to Africa was made possible through church partnerships and the initiative of ARTreach program director, Vickie McMillan.  Her dream was to go to Africa and teach art to individuals who would never otherwise be given the opportunity due to limited resources and factors related to poverty. The objective of the ARTreach project was to share her American dream and her vocational and entrepreneurial spirit related to art and gallery exhibitions. Her workshop was designed to instill a sense of hope for the future and expose the creative power within and a person’s own ability to affect change in their own life and community, no matter how bad the circumstances and the situation. This is an ARTreach teaching philosophy.</p>
<p><strong>About the artists</strong><br />
Artists were given the opportunity through the Uganda Arts Council to participate in the ARTreach workshops. Her residency included the sharing of new art materials, mediums and techniques with over 50 enrolled Ugandan artists. She was able to teach valuable lessons, and leave behind new paints, professional brushes, canvases and quality paper provided by ARTreach donors from Katy, Woodlands and the Houston area.</p>
<p>Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom, which encompassed a portion of the south of the country including the capital Kampala.</p>
<p>“I am in Kampala, Uganda and working with artists who are starving to paint!”  Vickie explained in her journal reports, “They are using discarded cloth found in trash piles, and painting on leaves and tree bark. The pigments are expensive and they are seeking their opportunities to paint their own expressive notions”   The artwork created in Vickie’s Kampala workshops demonstrated the artists wide range of natural and self taught talent.</p>
<p>At the conclusion of Vickie’s residency, she left the group with her American challenge. She wanted to encourage the artists to continue to paint and she gave them an incentive to practice their new found skills, and hone their talent to help themselves live easier in this world.”  Vickie gave them the opportunity to create new work and send their finished pieces to the attention of ARTreach in Katy, Texas.  The organization would respond by organizing an exhibition to sell their work for them in a market that enjoys art and buys original art.  A market not found in their tribal hometown area.  This challenge was accepted and within this year over 75 pieces have been sent to ARTreach with the artists seeking the help and support of ARTreach.</p>
<p><strong>About ARTreach</strong><br />
Thanks to grants and donations from individuals and local businesses this Texas based nonprofit from Katy is currently organizing the kind of exhibition that will make a struggling artist’s dream come true. All purchases from the ART of Africa will benefit the families and the Ugandan artists involved.</p>
<p>“To us, these works of art represent the hopes and dreams of every person who wants to make a better life for themselves,” says Terri Bieber, founder and executive director of ARTreach, “Our organization is very proud of this work and of Vickie McMillan and her dedication to this project.  Anyone purchasing this artwork will know the sale will benefit many families and artists in Uganda and ARTreach.  The income earned through the sale of one painting in America will feed a starving artist in Africa for a year!”   Bieber ads, “This is a signature ARTreach Exhibition and we are seeking many more sponsors. Please inquire!”</p>
<p>ARTreach asks the Uganda Council to reserve 10% of the funds to assure art supplies and new materials remain available to the artists so they will continue to paint and sell their work.  Additional proceeds exceeding the opening bids on any of these limited works of art will benefit an array of local ARTreach programs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-232 alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="Chris Gamez, Program Director" src="http://www.artreachonline.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/15317_102918593079229_100000832677747_53132_4029187_n-300x215.jpg" alt="Chris Gamez, Program Director" width="300" height="215" />ARTreach is a non-profit arts and educational outreach organization. Our organization serves children at risk, troubled youth on the streets, elderly in need, and indigent populations through community partnerships with schools, cultural centers, churches and social service agencies.</p>
<p>Recently our organization received a generous donation of space, free rent for two years valued at $43,200 from The Warehouse Studios in Northwest Houston. We have been asked to match the facility donation with program development that will directly impact this community. We will be providing URGEWORKS Programs. These are our programs that represent urgent outreach targeting high risk youth in underserved communities. These ARTreach Programs work to turn youth away from drugs and gang activity by providing a safe haven in their community and exposing youth to positive people and creative alternatives to negative behaviors.</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-231 alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="URGEWORKS at the  WAREHOUSE " src="http://www.artreachonline.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/11138_237053580040_512765040_4769559_1546085_n-300x199.jpg" alt="URGEWORKS at the WAREHOUSE " width="300" height="199" />The URGEWORKS programs combine ARTreach teaching methods, mentors and positive role models, with relevant aspects of the hip hop culture to teach dance, art, music and drama. The programs promote learning and provide new and creative opportunities for youth at risk to be successful and contribute positively to their communities today and into the future.</p>
<p>It is true, ARTreach URGEWORKS Programs in underserved communities are utilizing professional street dancers and graffiti artists to actually help students stay off drugs, stay in school, and stay out of trouble. Our artists teach that through hard work and perseverance you can make your own dreams come true. The program teaches techniques in dance and utilizes fine arts curriculum that incorporates educational objectives that help students meet mastery standards in fine arts, language arts, history, math and science. The program also supports physical education, teaches about character and community responsibility, and promotes healthier lifestyles and safer communities.</p>
<p>The URGEWORKS Programs are urgent and they work! ARTreach is currently offering these programs weekly in 3rd Ward, and one day a week at The Warehouse in NW Houston. The Warehouse is located at the corner of 34th and Mangum in the heart of a Latino community much in need. The building is 6000 sq ft made up of 7 classroom and office space and a 3000 sq. ft. of air conditioned area for staged shows and performances. The Warehouse will house a recording studio and dance studio and offer free health and exercise programs to residents in this community. The Warehouse is also home to The Worship Experience Church providing services weekly to reach out to this community as well.</p>
<p>Our challenge through this gift in kind is to expand our ARTreach Programs immediately to serve the urgent needs represented by the youth in this area. We are accepting this challenge, because we know our URGEWORKS Programs WILL help the children and the families living in poverty and in this community. We also believe the additional benefits of full time ARTreach programming in this community will touch the lives of the elderly residents living alone and in need of companionship and social interaction that free art, music and movement classes will also provide.</p>
<p>This is a major project for ARTreach and we are starting it now. Our first goal is to expand programs serving children at risk from 10 hours a month to 30 hours a month by July. ARTreach will be tracking the increasing numbers of students and measuring the impact the ARTreach Programs are having in this community for the next two years. We will be producing short film documentaries that will capture our progress and share the results of an outreach program that we hope can be replicated by mission driven art groups and community leaders anywhere as a viable solution that truly supports the needs represented by children at risk.</p>
<p>We are asking for your support. Your donated dollars will be used to contract the ARTreach staff necessary to support the additional students. ARTreach staff is responsible for community relationships, curriculum development, lead teaching, and volunteer recruitment and artist training to expand and assure programs ongoing. Donations in any amount will help and are 100% tax deductible.</p>
<p>Donations are accepted online www.artreachonline.org using Visa or MC or Pay Pal. Checks are also can be made out to ARTreach and mailed to:<br />

<p>Solana at Cinco Ranch residents and volunteers from ARTreach and National Charities League have spent the last eight weeks involved in a unique ARTreach project to create “Cups of Caring”.  This project involved the senior residents at Solana in an outreach project that will help bring the arts to children at risk this summer, and trained incoming ARTreach volunteers in a variety of ceramics techniques and at the same time.  Over 40 cups, stemware, plates and serving dishes were created over the 8 week course.  Solana of Cinco Ranch is hosting an Open House on March 25th 5:30- 7:30 PM to unveil the complete “Cups of Caring” collection. The public and the press is invited to attend.</p>
<p>ARTreach wishes to thank our Cinco Ranch High School National Honor Society Art Volunteers and National Charities League Azalea Chapter for supporting the project. Thank you to Deborah McKee, ceramic specialist from Ceramics by Tess in Katy for sharing a variety of creative glazing techniques that guaranteed outstanding results.  ARTreach also wishes to thank Karen Richards, professional artist and Katy ISD art teacher, the residents of Solana, as well as Ann Bayliss and Patti Evans Lifestyle Directors at the Solana for supporting the project. ARTreach hopes to raise $500 from the sale of the Cups of Caring at the Open House event. The money will be used this summer to subsidized art camps and special projects for children at risk in Fort Bend County.</p>
<p>For more information about the project contact Terri Bieber at ARTreach 713-444-1897. For more information about the Open House or to RSVP contact Ann Bayliss at the Solana 281-395-9600 THE SOLANA AT CINCO RANCH is located at 24001 Cinco Village Center Boulevard • Katy, Texas 77494</p>

ARTreach is responding to the show of support and is unveiling a list of exciting projects planned for the Cinco Ranch area in 2010.

<p>ARTreach announces that the organization will open Art in the Park and free family ARTreach Center activities in Cinco Ranch this upcoming year. The events will be modeled after similar weekend events ARTreach hosted in downtown Katy at the Katy Heritage Park this past year. The move to Cinco Ranch is made possible by the donation of space made by The Villagio Gallery and Community Room located at the Villagio in Cinco Ranch.</p>
<p>The ARTreach Center in Cinco Ranch will continue to promote Katy artists and share information about cultural arts hot spots and happenings in the Katy area. ARTreach Center activities in Cinco Ranch each month will include free art classes and creative family workshops that will introduce a number of interesting teaching artists to the community. Music and cultural arts presentations that promote arts education will be included. ARTreach shares its resources with all local art groups and welcomes participation and partnership to expand art opportunities available throughout Katy.</p>
<p>Support for the arts in Cinco Ranch is growing</p>
<p>ARTreach Programs like this are funded by grants and donations. It is necessary for the organization be able to demonstrate there is public support for the arts in the areas they serve in order to qualify for state grants and private foundation funding for their range of art events, gallery and community projects as well as their primary outreach to underserved populations. ARTreach events held in Cinco Ranch are attracting higher numbers of attendees, representing growing public support.</p>
<p>ARTreach Community Programs already being hosted in Cinco Ranch include Property Owners Association neighborhood events and parade festivals, Summer Art Series at LaCenterra, annual storytelling, puppet shows and performing arts at Simply Cinco, and monthly ARTparties at Berryhill Baja Grill at Villagio Town Center. ARTreach first annual &#8220;Chair-ish the Arts&#8221; Gallery fundraiser in Cinco Ranch drew over 300 art supporters. ARTreach was also selected as the benefitting charity for the Katy Kids Festival held at The Villagio in Cinco Ranch where thousands of families attended.</p>
<p>&#8220;Public support for the arts in the Cinco Ranch area is definitely growing&#8221; says ARTreach Board President, Katherine Ammer, &#8220;ARTreach is offering community programs in all corners of Katy, Harris County, Fort Bend and Waller County. ARTreach Community Programs and events in the Cinco Ranch and Fort Bend County area are drawing the most support.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We make it a point to attend every event,&#8221; say Cinco Ranch residents Audralyn and Mark Allen. &#8220;We have five children and everyone in our family appreciates arts events that are in the neighborhood that we can walk to. We think it is all the art and music events being held in Cinco Ranch that are bringing the community to life and making it fun to live here!&#8221;</p>
<p>Exciting plans for Cinco Ranch</p>
<p>ARTreach is responding to the show of support and is unveiling a list of exciting projects planned for the Cinco Ranch area in 2010. A partnership with The Villagio allows ARTreach to host free ARTreach Center activities and fine art gallery events, Patio Concerts, and Art in the Park events every month in Cinco Ranch. Continued partnership with the Cinco Ranch Property Owners Associations and LaCenterra as well as a new ARTreach partnerships in the works with Houston art groups promises a host of special events coming to the Cinco Ranch area this upcoming year.</p>
<p>Katy Heritage Society and ARTreach are also ramping up phase two of the biggest public art project to ever hit Katy, endorsed by the Texas Commission on the Arts, called All aboard Katy! This special community project embraces the entire region and focuses on our unique heritage associated with the MKT train line. Visitors are invited to stop by and see the current collection of nine-foot fiberglass locomotives being displayed at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch that will be painted by local artists in 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-123" title="PHC 095" src="http://www.artreachonline.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/PHC-0951-150x150.jpg" alt="PHC 095" width="150" height="150" /> <img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-124" title="PHC 096" src="http://www.artreachonline.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/PHC-0961-150x150.jpg" alt="PHC 096" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>ARTreach has just completed a 4 week pilot at the Pregnancy Help Center. The organization was piloting a dance program called &#8220;Nurturing Pathways for Babies&#8221; taught by certified instructor Erin Stanley. This is a creative dance program for new mothers and their infants developed to enrich a baby&#8217;s cognitive and physical development by using baby exercises, musical instruments and sensory rich creative play products.</p>
<p>The ARTreach Pilot is giving new mothers an opportunity to experience the joy of dancing while strengthening their bond with their baby at no cost to the Pregnancy Help Center. Erin Stanley generously donated her teaching time and materials to support the pilot. ARTreach is measuring the impact of the program and collecting testimony and responses from the mothers selected to participate in the pilot to support future funding.</p>
<p>New mothers registered for the program initially as an opportunity to get back in shape, bond with their infant and make new friends. There were additional benefits in that the program teaches a range of new parenting skills, how to make healthy choices, and how to find time to take care of yourself and your baby. The program also teaches a new mother how creative movement, play and touch will activate an infant&#8217;s central nervous system. These networks interconnect rapidly from birth to four years of age. The brain doubles in size during the first twelve months of life and achieves 95% of its adult brain weight by the age of four. During these years, the foundation is laid for eyesight, language, gross and fine motor skills and emotional and intellectual capabilities. Movement, play and touch contribute significantly to the healthy development of a baby.</p>
<p>The outcomes in this ARTreach pilot were positive. The class was well received and each client has requested that the program continue. This is motivating both ARTreach and the Pregnancy Help Center to seek sponsors to support ongoing classes at the center. They are hoping that by combining their resources they can fund the program and continue to offer it free to Pregnancy Help Center clients. General community interest is high enough that the classes will be open to anyone who wishes to register and pay just $12 per week. The organizations are seeking $725 in matching funds to sustain the program in 2010.</p>
<p>To conclude this pilot series, ARTreach teaching artist Stacy Baer came to the Pregnancy Help Center on December 12th to teach the moms that they can use their hands, feet and creativity to make a treasured keepsake that can be enjoyed for years to come. She showed them how to make ceramic plates using their baby&#8217;s hand and foot prints as the basic design. Stacy was teaching &#8220;Art with a Purpose&#8221;. This is an ARTreach Vocational Workshop that can spark the entrepreneurial spirit by demonstrating how easy it is to use your own hands and creativity to create an income for yourself.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nurturing Pathways for Babies&#8221; and &#8220;Art with a Purpose&#8221; are programs that the Pregnancy Help Center would like to offer weekly to PHC clients. The organizations have been working together for two years to develop programs that will creatively address difficult issues facing young mothers and mothers coping with crisis pregnancy.</p>
<p>ARTreach and PHC are participating in the Alliance of Charities fundraiser being held at Fish City Grill in LaCenterra in Cinco Ranch on Tuesday, January 19th. Please mark your calendar and come for lunch or dinner on that day. Fish City Grill is donating 15% of the proceeds to support the cause. Donations can be also made to Pregnancy Help Center or ARTreach at any time and can be designated to support these programs.</p>
