Michelle Kraft attended the National Art Education Association Conference in New Orleans, March 26-29, where she co-presented at three sessions:
·        “Are You Sure You Belong Here?” with Alice Wexler (SUNY New Paltz) and Karen Keifer-Boyd (Penn State)
·        “Students with Disabilities and the Core Arts Standards” with Sharon Malley (John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts) and Karen Keifer-Boyd

Michelle is grateful to the EquipLCU grant program for its funding to help with the cost of travel to the conference.
Michelle also attended a Letterpress Workshop at the Charles Adams Studio Project on April 4. She has published three articles for the Panhandle Art Review The Bowerbird this spring, including:
·        “A Sort of Violence: Missing Persons and Conspicuous Consumption: An Interview with Hannah Dean”
·        “Where the Art Is: An Interview with Ceramic Sculptor Miranda Howe”
·        “Suis-je Charlie?”
A fourth article, about the Charles Adams Studio Project, is forthcoming. The Bowerbird is available at www.thebowerbirdlbk.com
Michelle Kraft and Sara White juried the first annual LCU Art Student Juried Exhibition and installed the show. LCU alumna and TTU MFA soon-to-be graduate Hannah Dean served as awards juror. Prizes went to Bethany Kunkel (1st place), Allie Stakely (2nd place), and K. D. Rapp (3rd place). Kunkel and Tama Havens also won Honorable Mention.
