Spring Art Tour - May 5th and 6th

This spring, Passage III residents had the opportunity to showcase some of their photography and poetic reflections in the Earth Arts of the Upper St. Croix Valley Spring Art Tour at the Frederic Arts Center. The 'In A New Light' display was one of 25 stops on the tour. The girls worked hard to prepare their photos and reflections. Their pride was especially visible when they visited the art gallery to see their work admired by community members. We were all very grateful for Ben Thwaits' efforts and organization and Ian Karl's time and design techniques used to display not only the Passage III residents' work, but also the work of residents at Passage I and II.  Here are some photos from the event!

From the beginning...

Northwest Passage III was very excited to bring "In A New Light" to our residential treatment program for girls ages 12-17. Since Fall 2011, 22 participants have graduated from our program and have had the opportunity to explore nature through the lens of a camera. They sought out subjects of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, sections of the Ice Age Trail, and rural landscapes of Northwest Wisconsin. The teens are very excited to be able to share their experiences and diligent work with an outside audience (YOU!). We hope that you will continue to check this blog to see the end results of their experiences in this aspect of their therapeutic treatment here at NWP.
