Tippet Rise and the Community by Lindsey Hinmon
CARBON COUNTY ARTS GUILD
The Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation is pleased to support the Carbon County Arts Guild. With this collaboration, we support the common purpose of keeping art as a vital part of the education of today’s youth. The Tippet Rise Fund brings art into the classrooms of three local schools through a traveling art teacher program. Art
teachers make regular visits to Nye, Fishtail, and
Luther schools, where art classes may not have otherwise been an option. Through this partnership, students also come to Tippet Rise Art Center to meet artists during the installation of their sculptures, and to experience, hands on, art in nature. In 2015, the
Fishtail and Nye Schools worked with renowned sculptor Stephen Talasnik during the installation of Satellite #5: Pioneer. Motivated by the visit, they re- turned to their classrooms to build their own sculptures using their interpretations of Satellite #5: Pioneer and the skills they learned from Talasnik. In 2016, Luther School students visited Tippet Rise with art teacher Willis Johnson. Back at the school, they cast their own Ensamble Studio–inspired pieces and reflected on their experience at the art center through watercolor, pencil, pen, and other media. The students’ artwork was on display for a month-long art show at Honey’s Café in Red Lodge in July of 2016. The relationship between Tippet Rise and Luther School continues to grow: during the winters of 2017 and 2018, Tippet Rise sent its Art Education coordinator, Beth Huhtala, to Luther School to teach printmaking over the course of two days. The students created linocuts, gelatin prints, monoprints, and collagraphs. Tippet Rise is thrilled that programs such as these will continue to grow along- side the art center.
RED LODGE AREA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
In partnership with the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation and the Carbon County Arts Guild,
the Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation brought more than twenty local grade school students to Tippet Rise to participate in a unique workshop with artist Patrick Dougherty during the installation of Daydreams. Students worked along- side Patrick, one of today’s most admired sculptors, learning and building their own sculptures using
local willows. Students boarded the bus at the end of the day with arms full of willows for their own future creations. The Tippet Rise Fund also supports the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation’s activities in the community of Red Lodge. For example, with Tippet Rise Fund support, the Community Foundation supports youth programming and the management of the Nonprofit Shared Services Center.
RED LODGE MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Red Lodge Music Festival has celebrated summer music camp for more than 50 years,
focusing on inspiring a love of classical and jazz music in youth. The Festival’s nine-day camp hosts profes- sional faculty to teach student musicians and prepare them to perform in recitals. The Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation supports scholarships for the Festival’s Honor Ensemble and other students.
NYE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Nye Community Foundation was founded in 1999 to build a permanent financial base to support and promote projects that will benefit the residents of Nye and the surrounding area. The Tippet Rise Fund of the Sidney E. Frank Foundation provides scholar- ship funding for the Foundation’s efforts to encour- age the higher education dreams of local
