Transformation Tuesday
Artists help to transform communities, allowing citizens to see their neighborhoods differently. Here is a slum, or “favela” in Rio de Janeiro re-imagined by 2 artists from Holland. Favelas are unplanned communities. The homeowners had their homes plastered and repainted for free and they got to help decide the overall art theme that the neighborhood would follow.
Santa Marta neighborhood in Brazil.
Artists who crowd-source ideas invite community members to take ownership of a shared vision. Here is an idea being done by Jodi Delaney, a school teacher at Broadwater Elementary in Helena, MT. She felt her students’ school yard looked like a war zone or prison yard with an ugly chain link fence. She created a project where students decorated tiny polycarbonate squares with sign vinyl and each piece will be wired to a cell in the chain link fence surrounding the school on “Broadwater Wire Day”, May 21st.
Community members were encouraged to make memorial tiles for all the present and past students at Broadwater Elementary, a very historic school near Carroll College. There are also tiles with business logos of community sponsors.
This is a sample of what it will look like.
Sometimes the most simple, low-tech ideas are the most heart-felt for people who really yearn for transformation.

A big THANK YOU to the students involved in the Aquarium Gallery Display at the Holter Art Museum in Helena. The art show is up for the month of May. Students involved were lower elementary and Victor High School Art Classes (about 75 total). We’ve already gotten positive feedback from the staff and patrons at the Holter Museum, where the Aquarium Gallery is visible from the inside and the outside and is lit up at night. Now your work can be admired near and far!
From the Counseling Office:
Coming Thursday to Ethos: A Guest Speaker from Boy Scouts talking about the new after school career program that incorporates real world experiences.
