To Present the Findings of a Twelve-Year Study
Tonight:
James Catterall, faculty chair at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, is going to be at the Seattle Art Museum tonight to present the findings of his twelve-year study of the impact arts education has on the achievement gap in American schools. (His book, with the appropriately academic title Doing Well and Doing Good by Doing Art: A 12-Year Longitudinal Study of Arts Education—Effects on the Achievements and Values of Young Adults , just came out).
Catterall's study has been getting extra attention because it's the first study to show conclusively that underprivileged students actually benefit more from arts programs (programs that, Caterall points out, tend to be the first to face the budget axe) than higher-income students.
Tonight at 7 pm at the Seattle Art Museum (1300 First Ave). Free.
Tomorrow:
Seattle City Council Member Sally Bagshaw is hosting what should be a hot public forum on the future of Seattle Center's now-defunct amusement park, the Fun Forest. The Howard Wright family, who own the Space Needle, want a museum showcasing the work of ubiquitous glass artist Dale Chihuly—an installation that would bring in $500,000 a year. Many Seattle residents, particularly those who drafted a Seattle Center Master Plan calling for more green space, are not psyched at this proposition.
City Council Member Jean Godden weighed in for PubliCola yesterday, coming down on the side of more open space at Seattle Center.
Tomorrow night, at 6:30 pm at Seattle Center House Conference Room A (305 Harrison Street).
