Donations For Toys For Tots Still Being Accepted At Museum

Sun., Dec. 13, 1998

Compiled By Tina Carey

Because the one-day Toys for Tots campaign was so successful at the Cheney Cowles Museum on Dec. 5, the museum will continue accepting new toys through Dec. 23.

Children who bring toys for the drive will be admitted free to exhibits and holiday tours of the Campbell House next door. For more information, call 456-3931, ext. 101 or 122.

Classes

The Ballet Arts Academy will host two jazz master classes Dec. 28 at the academy, 416 W. Sprague. Jeff Amsden, a former professional dancer who lives in Los Angeles and choreographs for theater, film and video, will teach the Advanced Master Class from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Kirstin Cooper, who worked in film, video and stage and now directs a Seattle jazz dance company, will teach the Intermediate Master Class from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Cost for each class is $12. For more information or to reserve a space, call 838-5705.

The Institute for Extended Learning Seniors Program has compiled its schedule of art classes for winter quarter, Jan. 4 to March 19. Classes include watercolor, oil painting, ceramics, china painting, drawing and porcelain doll workshops. For a complete schedule, call 533-3393.

Audition

The Spokane Area Children’s Chorus will hold auditions from 3 to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday at Westminster Congregational Church, 411 S. Washington. All singers 7 to 17 years old are encouraged to audition; no preparation is necessary. For an information packet and to schedule an audition, contact the chorus office at 624-7992.

Access to the Arts

The Spokane Symphony Society, D.A. Davidson Inc., and KXLY will provide musical instruments to Spokane-area children who otherwise could not afford to explore their musical talents through Access to the Arts.

Spokane School District 81 still needs more than 300 band and orchestra instruments, especially cornets, flutes, clarinets, trombones, violins, violas and cellos.

Used instruments may be dropped off at the Spokane Symphony’s administrative office, 621 W. Mallon, Suite 203 in the Flour Mill.
