For the first time ever, two of Project Jericho’s favorite artists, Kristi Limes and Michael Kelsey - will be working together during a two-hour workshop. Youth participants will have the opportunity to create both artistically and musically during this workshop: they will use watercolors to create holiday cards with Kristi as well as record a Holiday Single with Kelsey. This workshop is holiday-themed, giving youth the chance to give back to their community: the cards will be given to residents at Mercy St. John’s Center (we’ll deliver them in a special caroling night with PJ youth, December 16) - and the song will be available as a free download on www.project-jericho.com. Giving back has never been so fun!

Thursday December 4th
4-6pm at Turner Studio

Jericho Jazz, a collaborative program between Project Jericho and the Gary Geis School of Dance, will start next Saturday October 18.

In Jericho Jazz, youth ages 8-12 will be able to take a fun fusion class of jazz and hip hop dance at a professional dance studio. This fall session will begin Saturday October 18 and run for six weeks, ending with an in-studio presentation on Saturday, November 22. The sessions will be held from 1:00-2:00pm in the Bushnell Building downtown (14 E Main St.).

If you know a youth who’d like to move and groove, give them this flyer and encourage them to call Project Jericho at 328-3869 to sign up for a spot!

Project Jericho youth worked on refurbishing the “play pumpkin” at Cliff Park. Weekly since August 15, youth worked hard- cleaning, sanding, repairing, priming and then painting this community milestone.   The project, led by artist, Keith Skogstrom was unveiled to the community at a public celebration on  Wednesday, September 24 at 3:30 PM.  About 50 people attended, and applauded the youth for their hard work.

The project drew the interest of many park visitors, who wanted to share their own stories about the pumpkin - “This is where my husband proposed to me. This is where I got my first kiss. This is where I used to come when I felt sad.”  It’s a special place of memories for many people in our community, and Project Jericho is proud to be a part of its restoration!
