The Texas Commission on the Arts recognizes Lubbock as one of six Cultural Districts in the state. It works to define a well-recognized part of a community that's often used for a variety of entertainment options. With the distinction comes the potential for local artists to be recognized and provide tourist attractions to boost the local economy. The Cultural District in Lubbock is bordered by The Underwood Center and Lubbock Memorial Civic Center to the north, the Buddy Holly Center and Depot Entertainment District to the south, the Wells Fargo Amphitheater and American Wind Power Center to the east, along with Texas Tech and the City Bank Auditorium and City Bank Coliseum to the west. Here you'll find an updated list of weekly events in the Cultural District LUBBOCK CULTURAL DISTRICT HAPPENINGS SEPTEMBER 2-3-4-5, 2010 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2: -

PLEASE PASS THE INFORMATION BELOW TO YOUR BAND & ORCHESTRA DIRECTORS:
POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR MUSIC STUDENTS
to work with
JUILLIARD STUDENTS
We would like to introduce to you a new non-profit organization called Teaching and Responding Through Internet Outreach, or T.R.I.O. It is an internet outreach program designed to mentor rural music students who lack access to instruction on their individual instrument due to their geographical location. This program is also open to financially stressed students in any location who may have had to suspend private lessons due to economic hardships. Current Juilliard students in New York City will be assigned as teachers and mentors for this program. More detailed information and the application form can be found on our website:
<http://www.trioproject.org>
T.R.I.O. is currently in process of recruiting students. If you know of a student who you believe would benefit from this program, please encourage him/her to apply. (Piano students are also welcome to apply) You may download student flyers directly from our website to give to your students. If you have questions, please feel free to contact us.
Additionally, please forward this email to other friends you may have in the music education field as we hope to get the word out to all music teachers and their qualified students about this unique opportunity. We are not looking for students who already take private lessons--only students who do not have access to a private teacher due to geographical or financial reasons.
Thank you for your time and consideration, Kathryn Peterson and Alice Hwang Co-Founders of The T.R.I.O. Project
The Juilliard School, Class of 2013
Kathryn is a gifted musician who outgrew the instructional opportunities available in her small farm community about the time she entered junior high. At that time she began to commute to Lubbock for more advanced instruction. She attended OL Slaton, before spending her high school years at the Idyllwild Academy in California. You can read her bio here: <http://www.trioproject.org/About_Us.html>
Because of her personal experience, she recognized a need for gifted music students in rural areas, as well as those with financial hardships in non-rural areas, to get the education and guidance necessary to improve their musical abilities. This program would allow selected students the opportunity to receive instruction and mentoring over the internet from Juilliard students.

Accelerate: A Juried Exhibition of 15 Emerging Artists with Disabilities
BEGINS: JUNE 6 ENDS: SEPTEMBER 12
Gallery 2
For the eighth year, VSA arts and Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., partnered to recognize emerging artists with disabilities who demonstrate promise in the visual arts. Every artist faces a blank page, canvas, or space with open possibilities. Starting from zero, ideas take shape, momentum builds, creativity gathers speed, and a new work of art is created. Once the basic elements of line, composition, form, and color are practiced and studied, artists search for motivation that will sustain their artistic pursuits. This exhibition features the many personal reasons that accelerate the desire to create. After a D.C. debut, VSA arts is presenting the "Accelerate" artwork in a two-year, nation-wide touring exhibition.

UP FROM THE BASEMENT - PLAYTIME MEMORIES
GALLERY 6
BEGINS: AUGUST 6 ENDS: JANUARY 9, 2011
Children's playtime activities often followed what their parents or other grown-ups did in their everyday lives. Adults drove automobiles, fire trucks, tractors, and horse-drawn carriages, while children played with toy vehicles and made suitable engine noises and other sounds. Ladies in nice clothes had real tea parties in elegant homes, so little girls and their dolls did the same with miniature tea sets and dollhouses. Individuals could work jigsaw puzzles and other quiet time activities. Congenial hands of Old Maid or raucous real estate deals in Monopoly revolved around colorful playing cards and board games. Tin soldiers, plastic action figures, and modern super-hero sets led to noisy battles between "the good guys and bad guys," as the wars and weapons changed over time. Toys and games created shared playtime memories across the generations. They allowed children's imaginations to expand and flourish while, in unexpected and entertaining ways, they helped prepare them for adulthood.

UP FROM THE BASEMENT - DISCOVERING PTEROSAURS: THE IMPORTANCE OF SOFT TISSUES FOR UNDERSTANDING PREHISTORIC ANIMALS
GALLERY 3
BEGINS: SEPTEMBER 3 ENDS: NOVEMBER 7
Fossilized skeletal remains are the most common form of evidence for extinct creatures. Our understanding of these animals remains partial and limited because missing from the record is the soft tissue-skin, organs, and muscles. Trace (fossilized impressions) and soft-tissue fossils create a vital bridge for understanding extinct life forms by helping to fill in the gaps in our knowledge. Pterosaurs were a diverse group of flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs. While our understanding of pterosaurs has increased over time, debates concerning their biomechanics and behavior seemed unanswerable. However, discoveries of trace fossils over the last 20 years have revolutionized our understanding of pterosaurs, resolved old debates, and propelled the research into exciting new areas.

UP FROM THE BASEMENT - ARRIVING AT THE CHAIR : SHAVE AND A HAIRCUT
GALLERY 4
BEGINS: SEPTEMBER 3 ENDS: NOVEMBER 7
Ever had a shave or a haircut? Maybe the better question is who hasn't? Ever wonder about the tools or the shop where you have it done? Why is a barbershop the way it is? Has it always been this way? Have you ever wondered? Barbershops are places of great intrigue and mystery. Many unusual theories surround their origins. As you sit there getting your cut, a mystical world of tools and elixirs set to work. As the tools begin their work, you are overcome with notions of what you will become. People come and go and, stories are passed, and in the end you are given a whole new you. It all begins when you sit down into that chair and enter a craft that has been practiced for thousands of years! Come see some of the tools of the past and visit the very spot that makes it all happen…come visit the chair.

WESTERN TOYS THROUGH THE DECADES EXHIBIT
Toys are the brushes that children use to paint their imaginations onto the canvas of play. Many toys throughout history have been replicas of the world in which children lived. Often, children were able to mirror the occupations of their parents through play. Eventually, toys came to be more fanciful and whimsical. As time passed, some toys came to represent times and places far removed from the world in which a child lived. This helped to broaden a child's landscape for amusement and learning. One of the playscapes that captured and spurred the imaginations of children in the United States was the Old West. The wild and wooly west had been part of the American imagination for years and children slaked their thirst for tales of western adventure since the days of the dime novels of the late 1800s. In the twentieth century, radio dramas, comic books, motion pictures and TV shows offered more fuel to the fire of young imaginations. As young minds found inspiration in the old west in the twentieth century, toymakers met the market demand with a wide variety of toys ranging from cap guns and holsters to mechanical toys and various vehicles. Most of the early western-themed toys were geared toward boys, but toymakers eventually crafted toys that would appeal to girls. The peak in demand for Old West toys came in the 1950s and 1960s as television and motion pictures were filled with shows related to the Wild West. The images on the big and small screen inspired young boys and girls to have adventures of their own and toymakers were there with scores of toys to feed this desire. There were toys linked to Roy Rogers, Howdy Doody, The Rifleman, Davy Crockett and many other popular entertainment franchises. Join us in recapturing the joys of childhood as we play out west.
When you come to view the exhibit, don't miss our interactive area that features a set of giant Lincoln Logs, a large jigsaw puzzle, and a barrel bronc for your little buckaroos. There is plenty for kids of all ages to enjoy.
