Lead Artists Allison Leigh Smith & Bryce Pettit attended art classes with “Miss B” (Jessie Byrnes) and shared the project Common Threads with 6th-8th grade elective art students. They discussed symbolism, writing a story about Durango that showed community and a sense of home, and in later classes, Miss B will lead art classes that turn their short story of Durango into a symbol for Common Threads.
