Dancing Classrooms Makes a Difference: See story
The ARTery is a nonprofit arts-education organization formed to
make the arts more accessible through a variety of camps, classes
and workshops. We believe that art is for everyone and that
instruction in the arts

VSAS = 'Very Special ARTery Supporters'
Sam and Jenny Pfeifer have been avid ARTery
supporters from the start. Sam is a retired Qwest
executive but doesn't mind being mistaken for the
janitor at First Central Congregational UCC, where
he and Jenny spend much of their time volunteering.
They even operate the church's Evergreen Thrift
Store (W-Th 10 a.m.-2 p.m. & Sat 10 a.m.-1 p.m).
They lend a helping hand any time there's an ARTery
event at First Central, and you’ll see them at every
ARTery fundraiser, too. The Pfeifers are among our
pfavorite supporters. Thanks, Sam and Jenny!

A Warm Welcome to Our New Directors
Joining the ARTery board are Cate Folsom, Omaha World-Herald
investigative projects editor; Pinnacle Bank vice president John
Wells; and David Harding—a writing, journalism, and PR
professional whose work has both a Nebraska and a nationwide
focus. We bid a fond farewell to Wendy Wiseman and Christian
Burk, who have poured their boundless and creative energy into
the ARTery since its inception.
