About
Organic Arts Ltd.
A Collaboration of
Artists in Education
Locally grown arts experiences
by free range artists
with no commercial additives
Organic Arts Ltd. is a down-to-earth collaboration of fine artists and educators using the arts to teach kids about music, storytelling, history, social justice, the environment and genuine grassroots art. Organic Arts serves as a clearinghouse that connects educational projects by artists with educators, donors, and community service providers to serve communities with professional arts experiences. The Organic Arts umbrella also serves as fiscal receiver for unique and important projects proposed by professional artists with a lifetime commitment of service to the community.
Our school and in-service programs are created with state standards and curriculum guidelines in mind.
Our projects address many different art forms and needs, including:

Earth, Teach Me Earth teach me quiet ~ as the grasses are still with new light. Earth teach me suffering ~ as old stones suffer with memory. Earth teach me humility ~ as blossoms are humble with beginning. Earth teach me caring ~ as mothers nurture their young. Earth teach me courage ~ as the tree that stands alone. Earth teach me limitation ~ as the ant that crawls on the ground. Earth teach me freedom ~ as the eagle that soars in the sky. Earth teach me acceptance ~ as the leaves that die each fall. Earth teach me renewal ~ as the seed that rises in the spring. Earth teach me to forget myself ~ as melted snow forgets its life. Earth teach me to remember kindness ~ as dry fields weep with rain. An Ute Prayer |
