| CURRENT STUDENTS - ORCHESIS Artistic play is an essential part of our human diet. Without it we are parched and starved. M.C. Richards
Orchesis Honor Society was created in order to recognize and promote scholarly and creative activities within the field of expressive arts. The goals of the organization include providing a forum for exchange among graduate students of expressive arts, building an expressive arts community outside of the classroom, and hosting expressive arts gatherings, workshops, and open studio experiences. Orchesis is a Greek word meaning "a moving ensemble". Requirements for induction to Orchesis:
ORCHESIS NEWS... Please visit the Orchesis Blog for updates on workshops, fellowship nights, and events at orchesishonorsociety.blogspot.com ** The Spring 2009 GLOW Art Reception will be held on May 2, 2009, 7-11PM. This is the week before graduation so that it may serve as both a celebratory and honorary night for graduating seniors as well. The hope in this is that family and friends of graduating seniors may also attend and therefore have the opportunity to get a sense of what the expressive arts community is about. If you arte interested in showing your work or sharing your music at Glow please contact the leadership council for details at orchesis.appstate@gmail.com [View the Fall/Winter '07 GLOW Art Gallery]** Reviving Headwaters Call for Submissions to Headwaters: Appalachian Journal of Expressive Arts Therapy
