The students of the Chickasaw Nation After School Arts Programs (ASAP) would like to invite the community to view their work at one or all of the “Issoba Chikasha Lowa” Student Art Shows scheduled in March. The shows will be held in Purcell, Ada and Ardmore.

The exhibits will display artwork created by the 2006 -2007 ASAP participants, and the Ada show will include artwork from all three program areas with pieces from each student for sale. Sales from the artwork will benefit the After School Arts Program.

Shows scheduled in each location include: 

Purcell Area Office 1603 W. Green Avenue Friday, March 2, 2007 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Ardmore Area Office 39 N. Washington Friday, March 9, 2007 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Ada Community Center Corner of Arlington & Mississippi Friday, March 30, 2007 3:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

This year’s projects educated the students not only in art techniques and process, but also on marketing and the sale of artwork as a possible future career choice.

ASAP is a program of the Chickasaw Nation Division of Arts and Humanities’ Arts in Education Department. For more information, contact Laura Morrison at (580) 332-1092.
