Arts Integration Dinners
The purpose of the dinners was to network together teachers interested in arts integration in schools across the Flathead Valley.
We had workshops and a "Trade Show" of ideas each year. Contact Josh Lancaster if you are interested in joining the network of art advocates. lancasterj@sd5.k12.mt.us Check out these pics from last couple of years. |

Workshops at the Dinner included:

Art Talk
with Jenny Bevill of Humanities Montana
Does arts integration intimidate you? Do you think you’re not artistic? In this presentation you will experience the joy of looking at art, discussing it through open ended questions, and building your confidence for de-coding a painting. You will leave this presentation feeling more confident about your abilities to integrate art into your classroom. No art experience required! Just bring your eyes, your intuition and an open mind!
Jenny Bevill is an adjunct professor at Flathead Valley Community College, a speaker for Humanities Montana, and a content developer for the Montana Office of Public Instruction’s online Teacher Learning Hub. Jenny was the lead teacher for 2017’s Montana Teacher Leaders in the Arts Institute and was the pre-conference speaker for the Montana Arts Council’s yearly Arts Summit in both 2016 and 2017. Before relocating to Montana in 2014 Jenny was a teaching artist at the Guggenheim Museum in NYC for a decade. Jenny is currently piloting an art and mindfulness program for Success Academy, the largest charter school network in NYC.
