Programs

The Americana Song Academy is a creative camp with many Sisters Folk Festival Artists arriving early to teach all aspects of music, songwriting, performance and singing.

The Americana Project is a music and arts education program with broad community outreach. It is a collaboration between Sisters Folk Festival, Creative Educational Resources, and the Sisters School District.

My Own Two Hands (MOTH) is a regional celebration of the arts. Each year a theme is selected to inspire artists to create and donate a piece of art to be sold at the benefit auction in support of youth programming.

The Song Academy for Youth brings high school students together in a non-competitive format to cultivate musicianship, songwriting and creativity.

The Winter Concert Series shows are presented from January through March in the Sisters High School auditorium.

gollark: Yes, they really managed the pandemic well in China by trying to ignore it/cover it up and hoping it would go away.
gollark: I like authoritarian governments, but only if they magically make everything work better with no problems and never cause problems for me or anyone else I know.
gollark: Doesn't that demonstrate that being more authoritarian and not having democracy does NOT automatically make a place good, if you don't like Singapore?
