Residency - Avivo - Jes Reyes - 2 hours
This past week was unfortunately rendered short due to the polar vortex! Perpich Arts High School closed school on both days I was scheduled to be there. I anticipate that the next week will require some catching up to do with students, and I have reviewed the syllabus to prepare for the extra work ahead.
On Monday, I met with Jes Reyes at AVIVO to complete an entrance interview and tour the facilities. Jes was very informative and gave me a thorough description of every that AVIVO does in order to assist in chemical/mental health recovery and employment/job placement. I will be starting my position on February 11 as a teaching artist intern to help facilitate the art studio as individuals in the program advance their studio practice and find places to show work within the Twin Cities.
