Katie Seidl, IAA Senior Language Arts Teacher at Camas High School, applied for a grant from Friends of Camas Arts. She proposed that the IAA seniors, along with the other seniors in her class, go to Mercy Corps Headquarters in Portland, OR. These lucky senior students will be participating in a workshop to learn how art can be used as a form of activism. The students will then create art to promote or impact a cause of their choosing. This is intended to help students gain cultural awareness and understand the influence their art has on their community. The grant funds will be used to fund all or most of the field trip to the Mercy Corps Headquarters in November.
