Watch and Learn

The Dutchess County Arts Council is having "a celebration of arts and community" and you are totally invited (pdf).

Hosted by Chair Tom Sipos and other community leaders, the event will include a breakfast and a showing of Picking Ourselves Up, Dusting Ourselves Off, a multi-media presentation created by the Children's Media Project.

Tickets are $25 per person, but you can book a table of 8 for just $175.

In case you don't know, Children's Media Project workshops and after school programs are mission-oriented activities, designed to help children and youth "interact with the media arts as creators and critical viewers."

Some of their student-generated Public Service Announcements are posted online and you can go watch them.

This anti-smoking video titled "Nuthin' Left" (Real Media File) by student Ryan Sullivan was shown on MTV.
