“In the Moment: Artists and Their Work” Olchar Lindsann and Brian Counihan
Olchar Lindsann and Brian Counihan spoke about their creative processes/work at CHS as part of a speaker series at VT’s Moss Arts Center.
In a series of 45-minute chats, the Moss Arts Center gave an exclusive look inside the homes and studios of these [Southwest Virginia] artists where we experienced their work, asked questions, and discussed how creative luminaries are approaching art in this moment.
Our two accomplished Roanoke-based artists and educators discussed balancing personal and professional creative work, arts education, and the creative challenges and opportunities presented by our current climate. Watch their interviews here. To see all of the Moss Center interviews, click here.

Student QuarantZine Publication Receives Recognition
The work of the creative QuarantZine team has received outside recognition! The first two issues of their publication were reviewed in the new issue of Asymmetrical Anti-Media, a quarterly zine that reviews dozens of other zines. Olchar has even been contacted with requests for copies. Well done!
The Creative Writing Class Plays “THE GAME OF _IF_ “
Olchar’s Creative Writing class played an altered version of the board game “The Game of Life.” In this creative version, the currency is words the students had to use to write their poems.
