Teaching Artist: Samantha Adams Choate
Cost: $123.75
Location: Art Center East
Samantha Adams Choate grew up in Eastern Oregon and found a passion for teaching art at Painted Sky Center for the Arts in John Day, Oregon, in the Center’s after school program. She enjoys teaching youth about the importance of art, giving them tools and skills to use various forms of art as outlets for expression. Sam believes art fosters a creative and expressive mindset that encourages self-discovery, confidence, and self-worth. She is an advocate for youth opportunities in the arts as schools continue to encounter budgetary constraints that affect specialty classes. She provides students a safe place to make art and explore their creative abilities.
