I'm In the Front Row!

The Kennedy Center's On Location: Spotlight On Your Community tour bus is still on the road visiting schools to help students produce video documentaries about art in their communities.

When we last checked in on them, On Location's intrepid Teaching Artists were heading into West Virginia and then they hit some serious snow. They were trapped in their hotel and school was cancelled for a week. Disaster.

Well, I am happy to tell you that the crew of the On Location bus have surfaced in sunny Florida where they are going to help public school students make a documentary about a local artist. Here's some reportage from the source:
The team settled in at the Samuel S. Gaines Academy and got a chance to touch base with Anita Prentice, the glass mosaic artist who is the subject of our documentary. The weather is beautiful, and we are looking forward to driving around town to see the bus stop benches Anita has worked on.
They still haven't posted any video but I'm going to keep cheering them on until they do.

It's a cool project, don't you think?
