Nativity's Artist in Residence

Mindy Burger

Painting, drawing, public art, collaboration, cultural identity, symbols and their ability to communicate across language barriers, issues of peace and justice…if any of these things appeal to you, then this project might be a good choice!

We ’ll be looking at the artwork of 2 artists from the United States who did public art: Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. (For a preview of their work, check out these 2 websites: Basquiat and Haring) We’ll draw, and then paint a 6’ by 150’ outdoor mural in our community. Participants are asked to think about symbols of peace, justice and cultural identity from their home country before they come.



Renaissance Man in Residence
Brad Stevenson

We'll build a three dimensional mosaic composed of a variety of materials that will convey the meaning of friendship. If you like to use hammers, screwdrivers and simple saws, this project is for you.

Nativity's Music Man

Joe Beiting

For those who like to sing or drum this project is for you. We'll create music that will explore the theme of friendship in song and rhythm. There will be opportunities to sing in harmony as well as sing solos. Some say that music is the universal language. We'll prove that statement to be true.


Friendship in Fabric

Laura Kirley

Quilting means, "to join materials of different color and design".  For our Quilt Project we will join together students from around the world as we create a banner of friendship. You'll need good humor and the willingness to share.  We'll teach you the rest.  Come and join us as we make new friends, great memories and a beautiful quilt.


The Tech Team
Bonnie Peter
As a member of the technology team, you will help document, in words and pictures, the events and spirit of The Friendship Project. Using digital cameras and computer software the team will produce a multimedia presentation, a newsletter, and a website to share with those present and others around the world. It should be a fun, fast-paced, collaborative week!
