SAC Teacher Feature: Peter Hay

I hope you are enjoying the warm weather outside! As we get closer to the end of the school year, keep in mind that NCLAC's Summer Arts Camps are a great way to help keep your child occupied while also enriching his or her creative and artistic development. As part of our weekly “Teacher Feature,” I want to introduce you to another camp instructor: artist Peter Hay!

Peter was born in Maryland, moved to Ohio, and then settled for a while in Oklahoma. He received his Associate of Art degree from Northern Oklahoma college before earning his Bachelor of Arts at Northeaster State University in Tahlequah, OK. Peter is currently a graduate assistant at Louisiana Tech University, working on this MFA in studio art. Peter's surreal and still life paintings were featured during Holiday Arts Tour 2012 at the Dixie Center for the Arts. 

Peter will teaching 2D (drawing and painting) at a weeklong camp in Jonesboro, from July 15-19.

Registration for weeklong camps is $60 if you pay before May 1 ($65 after that date). We also have several “Super Saturday” that are just $20 if you register and pay 10 days before the camp ($25 after that date). Camp fees include a snack.

Students entering grades 2-7 are eligible to participate.

Those interested may register by phone at 255-1450, or by downloading a registration form from our blog @ nclac.wordpress.com, or site @ nclarts.org. Forms and checks should be mailed to NCLAC, PO Box 911  Ruston, LA 71273

SAC Teacher Feature: Bethany Raybourn

Good afternoon, everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday. It is time for another installment of “Teacher Feature,” when we highlight one of the amazing individuals who will be helping NCLAC with Summer Arts Camps. Today, I am happy to introduce you to Bethany Raybourn, our coordinator for the two Ruston camps this year. Bethany has been involved with NCLAC for quite some time now, demonstrating her commitment to arts education. Last year, Bethany was one of the volunteers who helped with SAC 2012. We are excited to have her with us for SAC 2013!

Here’s a little background about Bethany: she was born and raised in North Louisiana.  She obtained her BA in English from Louisiana Tech University, and this May she will graduate with a Master of Arts in Teaching (Secondary English Education).

Bethany spends most of her time as a high school English teacher, which is a profession that she says she has grown to love and enjoy over the past year. In her spare time, she loves to write poetry, turn her poems into songs, and then perform them. She says that she developed a love for music, songwriting, and the arts in general at a very young age, and she is always excited to take part in any opportunity to participate in or volunteer for NCLAC events.
