Cheryl Ehlers and The Stardust Arts Receives Recognition from California State Assembly

By Mithruslight

Dated: Aug 11, 2010

The Stardust Arts program created by Cheryl Ehlers for the youth in North County, is recognized for her commitment to the youth in the community.

 The Stardust Arts program based in Carlsbad, CA, has been honored for her commitment to the Arts and her program for the youth.

 August 11, 2010, the 74th District, California State Assembly recognized and honored The Stardust Arts Program. Assemblymember Martin Garrick recently signed a letter of appreciation and presented a Certificate of Recognition to Cheryl Ehlers honoring The Stardust Arts Program for it's commitment in the communities of Carlsbad, Oceanside and Encinitas.

 The program has now touched over 1900 youth and is still counting since it's inception on September 5, 2009. With astonishing results, The Stardust Arts has "reached for the stars" and "created dreams" in art for all those that have crossed her path. May the memories and lessons in art remain in those minds of the youth and carry them into a future of possibilities abound. Lest they never forget, "anything is possible" if you believe in yourself.

 The program is staging for the Oceanside Unified School District's schools that have requested the program return to their schools. Negotiation are in process at this time to include at least three of the schools in a year round program encompassing the methods and talents of Cheryl Ehlers art concepts to be provided to their students.

 Visit http://www.thestardustarts.com for details and enjoy the recent video exhibition displaying  258 pieces of student artwork and view the past years accomplishments of the program.

Contact Cheryl Ehlers for more information on the program at 760-519-1551.

Introducing: The Sketchbook Project Tour: 2011

The Sketchbook Project Tour: 2011 is one of Art House's most exciting projects to date. You sign up and pick your theme, and then we send you the sketchbook. You fill it up and send it back to us and we'll take it on tour to Brooklyn, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Portland, and more! To sign up - and to view the full set of rules - please check out the website at http://www.thesketchbookproject.com

Read up on some of the new features...

Your book is unique. And you can track it. Your sketchbook will be given a barcode with a unique number - this allows us to keep track of your book and record who views it at every tour date and while it's in The Brooklyn Art Library. And after we catalog it, artists will be able to log-on and view realtime statistics about their book for years to come.

Viewing notifications Each and every single time your book is viewed, you'll receive an e-mail or a text message alerting you what city it was viewed in and the first name of the person browsing through it (well, only as long as they provide their name!) Even better, you can turn these notifications on or off at will.

Never get lost. Just like your local library, we know exactly where each sketchbook is hiding. You can send friends, family, and art lovers to The Brooklyn Art Library and we'll be able to immediately pull your book - or any other work you may have displayed with us - for them to view. Same goes for our tour. We like to keep things organized.

Your information is in the pocket. There's a handy pocket attached to the inside cover of every sketchbook. Inside this pocket, you can place a card that contains your artist information - anything from a short biography to your website address.

A custom library card Every person who views a book, whether it be at the exhibition or in The Brooklyn Art Library, receives a library card to use while browsing. As a participating artist, you'll receive a limited edition library card with your name on it.

Can't make it to an exhibition? With artists participating from all around the world, we know it's impossible for everyone to be able to see our exhibitions. But we don't like "impossible." We'll be filming exhibitions from the tour so our far-away artists can see first-hand how viewers interact with their work. And the exhibition at The Brooklyn Art Library will be broadcast live over the internet! Take that, impossible.
