Miracle Theatre: Dare To Shine

December 20, 2012
We thought we'd walked into a theater. Turned out that was just scratching the surface. The Miracle Theatre Group has staged entertainment since 1985. Close to thirty years later, it's grown into the Pacific Northwest's premiere Latino arts and culture organization, with a touring company that brings original bilingual theater productions and educational residencies to… More

December 12, 2012

Eight busy months later, local community members officially formed the nonprofit Josephine Community… More

Washed Ashore: Be Transformed

October 25, 2012
Bandon is known for breathtaking beaches and a world-class golf course. Now the Coos County town is attracting attention for another reason: The Washed Ashore Project. If you've driven the stretch of Route 101 south of Bandon, you've seen the art firsthand: Avery, a giant seabird, who greets passing traffic from his roadside perch. Lots… More

High Desert Museum: Our Past is Present

October 18, 2012
The High Desert Museum in Bend delivers the kind of engaging, hands-on educational programming that can't be provided in a classroom. It's no coincidence that schools near and far bring students to experience this Oregon treasure for themselves, or that on any given day you'll encounter families from across the U.S. and Canada exploring the… More
