Wasmer Elementary School hosting artist-in-residence
Grand Island artist Nancy Fairbanks will conduct a five-day residency at Wasmer Elementary School from Jan. 25 through Jan. 29.
Fairbanks will introduce basic pottery techniques to fourth-graders while sharing her knowledge of Pawnee Indian customs.
A grant from the Nebraska Arts Council is supporting the residency. Wasmer teacher Patty Brown and Carol Bryant, grant development facilitator for the school district, prepared the grant application.
The Nebraska Arts Council grants funding to Nebraska's nonprofit organizations for arts projects and programs in communities throughout the state. This financial support is made possible by funds appropriated by the Nebraska Legislature and through competitive grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Nebraskans wishing to learn more about these grants should visit the NAC Web site at
