Arts in Nature Festival
This year’s Arts in Nature Festival was one of the best yet. Cloud Cult headlined the weekend with a double-feature performance in Camp Long’s rustic lodge.
Giving Thanks to Our Founder
We said goodbye to our beloved founder, Nancy Whitlock, this year. Nancy has been an inspiring leader and advocate for the arts and the environment. We threw her a send-off party in November to show our appreciation and see her off on her next adventure.
Our 15th Anniversary
2013 marked our 15th year as an organization, and we marked the occasion with a big benefit bash called Deep Roots. The event went off with record-breaking success, and we invite you to join us again next year for our Sweet Sixteen benefit bash.
Reaping Our Garden Harvest
What a great growing year we’ve had! This year in the Yesler garden we harvested kale, lavender, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, and many more. We take students through the process of planting, watering, measuring, harvesting, and cooking delicious organic produce.
Clips Beer & Film Tour
We teamed up with our friends at New Belgium Brewing to host a record-breaking beer-and-movies event at Gas Works Park. It was such a blast. Join us for next year’s event on July 25, 2014.
Earth Day
Over 500 volunteers joined us in the West Duwamish Greenbelt to celebrate Earth Day this year, helping us make a huge impact in one day.
