Arts and Culture
Arts and culture are drivers of economic and social vitality of community life. I have long been interested in art as it relates to civic pride, storytelling, and historical preservation. This section will act as a hub for those who live in the greater Longview, WA area to bring into perspective the breadth of our local organizations and people who care about art and how it impacts our lives.

By joining a 3 practice circle you will learn how to quit trying to convince others that your point of view is right. The goal is not agreement, but clarity.
What are the 3 practices
One . I’ll be unusually interested in others.
Two . I’ll stay in the room with difference
Three . I’ll stop comparing my best with your worst
