Act
DALE CHIHULY'S PROGRAM IN TAOS
When Kathy Kaperick was growing up she lacked anyone in her life to
give her direction -- much less inspiration. All that changed when
she met Dale Chihuly. Now Kaperick is director of an innovative program
designed to make a difference in the lives of young people. Modeled
on the successful Hilltop Artists-in-Residence program she and Chihuly
founded in Tacoma, Washington, a new studio which opened in May 1999
in Taos, New Mexico, is yet another effort to show young people there
is a better path in life than toward drugs and violence.

to our trip.

Through
A Glass Brightly
In his mind's eye, Isleta Pueblo sculptor
Tony Jojola already can see the forms: water jugs, seed jars, decorative
pots of every design and description, all blessed by the same sacred
element as clay - fire - but made ofa substance that radiates the
sun - glass. Lloyd Kiva New (Cherokee),the former Institute of American
Indian Arts president who established a glass-blowing program at the
Santa Fe school in the 1970s, sees more. He believes a studio glass
center and glass-blowing projectnow taking form at Taos Pueblo will
evolve into "one of the most significant Native American art
movements since beadwork in the 1700s and metal-smithing and the use
of silver in the 1850s."
