Edmonds Community College music alumna Emily McKagen transfered to Western Washington University to continue her music studies — she's taking classes in voice, theory, and keyboard and aural skills — and sent music instructor John Sanders a note to let him know how she did on her tests and transfer into Western's music department. 
Sarah and Travis are both teaching painting classes at the college this fall. Travis is also teaching drawing and Sarah teaches a course on Two-Dimension Design and a course on History of Western Art.
Minh explains, “States of Demise reveals the unspoken and varied messages that can be found within a single photograph.” Inspired by the daily news, up-to-the minute blogs, and personal conversations, he noted 50 reoccurring topics during the course of a year that addressed the present state of our society and led to the events on 9/11. “The collective observations represent our nation’s changes in values and principles for the better or the worse of the country,” he says.
Minh’s installation will be the second exhibit of the newly formed IDEA Odyssey Collective and Gallery. The visual arts collective was formed to promote cultural diversity, community and economic development in the International District. Minh is a co-founding member.
