Introduction
It is with great enthusiasm and pleasure that Let There Be Arts (LTBA) announces our partnership with Heidi Erickson in her efforts to raise the necessary funds to complete the Regatta Grounds Park Devil’s Lake Creature as she now envisions it. LTBA is a non-profit organization on the Central Oregon Coast whose mission is to develop and support programs that introduce and encourage the artistic talents, creativity, appreciation and physical expression of our students and community. The opportunity to work with Heidi on this dynamic and exciting project is a perfect match for us and opens the door for countless art programs in the future.
History
Since 2000, LTBA has fostered and promoted all aspects of art in the classroom and beyond. We are committed to building strong relationships and maintaining partnerships within our coastal community. We work closely with the Lincoln County School District to provide arts education programs during the school day, after school, on Saturdays and during the summer. We have completed large, colorful murals in three district schools, a project that included the entire student body. Over the past three years we received grants from the Lincoln City Public Arts Committee to complete four art projects with students, one of which proudly hangs at the Regatta Grounds. We have already begun a dialogue with Heidi on the myriad of ways this project can become an educational gold mine. Without fail, when students have these hands-on learning opportunities with ‘real-life’ artists, everyone wins: students, artists, parents, teachers and communities.
