Theresa Heckart, Central Middle School Art Teacher:
What a great experience for my students
to be a part of the First Friday Art
Walk! The event tied in perfectly with
Youth Art Month and the School District
Art Show at the museum. Pat Tegtmeier
made the event very special when she
advertised the show on flyers displayed
in the Novel View bookstore, and ordered
a cake for my students that was served
at the First Friday event. My students
who did show up to see their work with
their family took advantage of the First
Friday events and checked out other art
openings in the downtown area. Thanks
for everything Pat!

Pat Tegtmeier, Owner, A Novel View:
It was wonderful to host a reception
for the Central Middle School art students
of their enthusiastic and dedicated
teacher, Theresa Heckart at my bookstore,
A Novel View, during March of
2004.
I am pleased to say that I was able to
offer this opportunity by virtue of
the art-conscious community in
Anchorage who values art.
Many of the
March 5th First Friday Art Walk aficionados came
by, not to buy art as they
would to a gallery, but because student
art was on exhibit and they wanted to
encourage and appreciate art in the
young and into the future. It was a
great pleasure for me. And, Theresa
Heckart is a jewel of a teacher!
About twenty 7th
and 8th graders
exhibited their colorful and imaginative
art at A Novel View during March. |
