Exploring the Past: Archaeology in the Upper Mississippi River Valley
Walking beside thousand-year-old burial mounds, flaking raw stone into tools, learning
how potsherds tell us about human behavior, and understanding how humans adapt to
complex, ever-changing environmentsour 2010 Summer Institute features all this and more.
The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse will
offer a three-week NEH Summer Institute on July 12–30, 2010. This dynamic learning
experience for K-12 teachers will explore how Native Americans and Euro-Americans
have adapted to the Upper Mississippi River Valley over the past 13,500 years, and how
archaeology leads to an understanding of how human cultures change and adapt through
time.
The Institute will feature a one-day excavation experience, field trips to archaeological
sites, hands-on laboratory and workshop activities, demonstrations, and classroom
activities. Individual projects will help participants tailor the content to their own teaching
areas. Participants receive a $2,700 stipend to help offset their expenses.
Application and other information on the Institute is available online at http://www.uwlax.
edu/mvac/neh.htm. The deadline for applications is March 2, 2010.

2010 Will Bring Boise the Creative Access Center for the Arts
Idaho Parents Unlimited and the VSA arts of
Idaho affiliate have secured funding to establish the Creative Access Center for the arts. This new Center will provide a
comprehensive artist employment and training program.
The Creative Access Center for the Arts will house the VSA arts of Idaho programs, the resource library and parent services
staff of Idaho Parents Unlimited, a gallery, dance program, matting and framing business, and artist teaching and workshop
space. The Center, to be located in or adjacent to the downtown area of Boise, Idaho’s capital city, has the support of a
blend of public and private resources.
The $153,500 contract for start up and programming to VSA arts of Idaho is part of the Medicaid Infrastructure Grant
(MIG). The Idaho State Independent Living Center is the designee for the Idaho MIG. This new effort was part of a
successful partnership application written into the supplemental funding available to the established MIG grantees this past
summer. With MIG priorities on employment of people with disabilities, the scope of this work is especially relevant in today’
s economy. The Center trainings, exhibits and cultural activities will support artists with disabilities in the niche industries and
small business of the arts.
The mission of VSA arts of Idaho is to empower and engage people with disabilities in the creative process through
opportunities, which are fully inclusive, educational and participatory. VSA Idaho creates opportunities by providing
professional training, workshops, developing state initiated projects and implementing successful national programs.
VSA arts of Idaho is a non-profit arts organization and extension of the National VSA arts, an affiliate of the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D. C. Established in 1984 in Pocatello, Idaho, VSA's initial offerings
were limited in scope and visibility. After relocating temporarily in Moscow, Idaho, VSA moved to the capital city, Boise, in
1993. Two years later, with the board reorganization and a new director in place, a revitalized VSA began to offer
programming designed to serve the needs of all Idahoans. Since 1995, VSA arts of Idaho has established itself as a viable
Idaho arts entity.
In 2002 the organization was folded into a larger non-profit group Idaho Parents Unlimited when the then VSA arts Executive
Director, Evelyn Mason, took the Director position with the larger Non-profit. This has proven to be a successful fit as these
two groups have similar goals. Idaho Parents Unlimited – supports, empowers, educates and advocates enhancing the quality
of life for Idahoans with disabilities and their families.
