Art Project will be taking the next few Tuesdays to work on what we hope will be a short film for a finished product. The next couple of weeks participants will work on brainstorming ideas and writing up a script (with the possibility of storyboards). The following couple of weeks will involve filming. Editing will be done outside of art project. Anyone is welcome to participate in the project and creativity is encouraged.

The Cave of Carleton is located in the basement of Evans Hall, located on the north side of the building. Evans Hall is located at the corner of 1st Street and Maple by the cul de sac in the parking lot. Signs will be up to help direct people.
So tell one and tell all to come on down to The Cave this Saturday to support the longest running youth-run youth center in the country.
Tuesday April 24th, The Key took part in the annual Summer Opportunity Fair, designed to get middle school youth involved in summer activities. Art Project (button making) was held at the event and youth from The Key and the Northfield Middle School were heavily involved with this project. Overall, this was a wonderful success as youth from the Middle School got learn to more about our organization. Thanks to the Key Kids who showed up and made this possible. This event would not have happened without the dedication of Beth Berry (TORCH) and Martha Schultz (Promise Fellow).
This Friday the 27th of April at Emmaus Church, Cooking Class will be making chicken and seitan curry. Ani Lovoll will be teaching the class and it will be free to those who sign up.

The Key served host as a gallery for Art Crawl on Friday April 20th from 6-9 pm. The Key was one of 12 spaces that served as a gallery for the annual spring event. The Key, along with the old Bagel Brothers space, served as galleries specifically designated for youth art. Many people stopped by to look at the wonderful art on display. Local youth artists presented color photographs, pottery, acrylic paintings, glass beads and much more. This event was completely youth run and operated. Youth-designed greeting cards were also sold during Art Crawl and wonderful foods purchased from Just Food Coop were served. Here are some photos from the event. Be sure to check out the photos of the mural-in-progress by Marie Fischer.
