Art of Photography is a 4-session workshop aimed at students 12 – 18; we have space for 12 students. This workshop takes place on Wednesdays from July 20 – August 10 from 9:30AM-12:30PM. Students will register for all 4 days, and the curriculum will build; it will be important for students to attend all 4 sessions.

Students will be required to bring their own cameras – camera phones are preferred. Students will use the outside area around the CRC, with potential for small field trips to parks and public spaces in town. A permission slip will be required to leave the CRC for picture taking. This will be emailed to you after registration is complete.

Students will spend the first 30 minutes with CRC staff and volunteers preparing to learn. There will then be 2 hours of hands-on, age-appropriate instruction. The final 30 minutes will be hosted by CRC staff and volunteers, making sure students have finished their projects and are ready for pick up.

Teachers will be skilled educators with art backgrounds, experienced in teaching various ages. Following the series, some of the art created in these classes will be featured in a public art show at The Loft gallery space at Camano Commons. The show will run from Sept 7 – Oct 5, 2022. More details to come!

SCAAC reserves the right to use digital images of student artwork and to photograph or videotape exhibited works for use in print media, website, email, or social media marketing or advertising associated with the exhibition.

Join us at the CRC for a presentation on An Appetite for Film: Food in the Movies.

A film can build tension through editing, just like a simmering stew builds flavor through a slow dance between ingredients. Putting food and film together, however, opens movie lovers up to a slew of wonderful experiences and shared memories. Join film historian John Trafton to explore the complex relationship between food and film throughout history, and how this relationship continues to impact our cultural landscape. This is a Humanities Washington Speaker’s Bureau Event. Registration is required.

John Trafton (he/him) teaches film and media history at Seattle University and for the Seattle International Film Festival’s Education program. He has authored several works on film history and culture, including The American Civil War and the Hollywood War Film (2015). His recent work examines visual culture in Southern California from 1870 to 1930 and how Los Angeles became the epicenter of America’s motion picture industry.

Trafton lives in Seattle.

Bushido—the way of the warrior—is the code of ethics practiced by the samurai warriors of ancient Japan, a code which includes courage, integrity, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty.

Through her own story of using Bushido to overcome a traumatic brain injury, Lori Tsugawa Whaley shows how the code can help people find hope, resilience, and fulfillment in our rapidly changing world. She explores examples of ancient warriors like Tomoe Gozen and Saigo Takamori, as well as modern-day samurai warriors like the Japanese Americans who survived incarceration during World War II. She shows how Bushido instilled a determination and perseverance in Japanese society that remains evident to this day.

Lori Tsugawa Whaley (she/her) is a third-generation Japanese American and descendant of a samurai warrior. She is an author, speaker, life coach, and storyteller, and is passionate about sharing the code of Bushido and her Japanese heritage at universities, TEDx stages, libraries, and cultural venues across the West Coast. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Portland State University.

A pandemic, protests, and economic jolts ushered in the so-called “Roaring Twenties.”  Americans adjusted in ways both innovative and counterproductive. What lessons from the 1920s can we apply to our own looming 20s?

Historian William Woodward charts the eerily familiar developments of a century ago: shattered idealism, social clashes, domestic terrorism, culture wars, disorienting technologies, and fearsome disease. How might stories from a particular moment in the past—one with remarkable parallels to the present—shed light on ways for us to move forward? As the 2020s unfold, what conversations should we have?

William Woodward (he/him) is an award-winning professor of American and Pacific Northwest history at Seattle Pacific University. His teaching, research, and writing focus on iconic elements of regional and national culture, including the military and baseball. His co-authored pictorial history of the Washington National Guard was released in 2019. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Wheaton College, as well as a master’s degree and PhD from Georgetown University.

Laughter shapes the way we listen to each other, and can be a signal of who belongs—and who doesn’t.

While everyone finds different things funny, we all have experienced laughter. And what we find funny shapes how we interconnect. Through clips of Asian American stand-up comedians, Professor Michelle Liu explores how humor can change the patterns of belonging that everyone in the United States has inherited.

When we want to learn about the past, we turn to history books. When we want to learn about how the past continues to live within us, we can turn to humor. Join Liu for a conversation about why laughing matters.

Michelle Liu (she/her) is a professor of English and the associate director of writing programs at the University of Washington. She specializes in writing and exploring ideas about identity, history, emotion, and storytelling. She has taught for nearly 20 years with the goal of helping people interconnect their hearts, minds, and experiences in their learning. She earned her PhD in American Studies from Yale University.
