We are excited to welcome Dana Long, President of the Love, Family NV to The Art Box. Dana's heart is as big as the Moon as she dedicated herself to families in the Virgin Valley area. This is an exciting time for Dana's organization as we celebrate June as Pride month. Tune in as Dana discusses her early life growing up in Arizona and her move to Mesquite and the creation of the loving caring organization she founded last year. We touch on how art and creativity helps children value themselves to realize their worth. Your hosts are deeply involved in the Love, Family NV activities and we were honored to chat with a great human like Dana.

Welcome to first episode of The Art Box, brought to you by Virgin Valley Arists' Association and hosted by Rachelle Knight and Steve Dudrow. In our opening episode we introduce you to Tyler Roylance. Tyler is an art and photography teacher at Virgin Valley High School in Mesquite, Nevada. Tyler has taught art here for 6 years. He is a native of Idaho and has 2 children. Listen as Tyler tells us about his art truth, becoming an artist from a small child, and how he has become friends with Bruno, the critic in his head. We have a lively discussion about other topics including: teaching art, meditation as a tool, self portraits and most importantly, what Tyler does with his first pancake.
