As KAF enters 2013, new programs and activities will require extra effort to keep us on track. KAF has engaged Man of Two Worlds, LLC to guide the development and funding of the Kayenta Center for the Arts, as well as to produce many of its events. KAF Directors also will be busy with other undertakings which include the following:
As of January 1, the Desert Rose Labyrinth became a program of KAF. Cheryl Collins continues as the main contact for the Labyrinth.
Art In Kayenta is now a program of KAF. KAF is excited that Deborah Koehler, with a myriad of fundraising and arts experience, has accepted the position of Event Coordinator for AIK. The transfer of AIK comes with other changes, among them, a change in season. The 2013 AIK will take place the weekend of October 18th.
The 2012 Quick Draw, held during Art In Kayenta, was a big success. The Board has selected Tami Hlavka as Event Coordinator for the 2013 Quick Draw.
Planning for the 2013 Street Painting Festival in April is well underway. Aimee Bonham continues as this Event Coordinator. The Board has no doubt that Aimee’s efforts, as in the past two years, will result in a successful Festival.
