Featured artist art-ist Jeff Decker and dancers from the Power Academy of Irish Dance produced a unique medley of the arts as well. Adults and children alike were enchanted by each of the presentations. The event culminated in a hands-on experiment with the sculpture and motion mo-tion that were showcased throughout the first half of the evening. Parents like Amy Kerst-in Kerst-in sat with their kids in anticipation an-ticipation before the opening open-ing of the event. "Every once in a while we bring the kids to Community & Family Night and it's something entertaining for them," she said. "It's just something fun and something some-thing different." Others in attendance agreed that they were there to have fun learning learn-ing and engaging in the arts. Local artist Jeff Decker jump-started the occasion with a passion for motorcycles. motor-cycles. Within his family he learned to love building machines like cars and motorcycles, mo-torcycles, but later on in his life he began to cast his love of motorcycles in hundreds hun-dreds of pounds of gleaming gleam-ing bronze. Rather than emphasizing the mechani-. cal nature of his subject, he illuminates the creativity that is hidden beneath the surface. Though the piece that Decker displayed on Monday Mon-day was quite a bit smaller than scale, he described his subject with grandeur. He referred to the motor-. cycle as "truly American," and connected its imagery with the horse of the Wild West. He counted motorcycle motor-cycle racers among some of America's great "post-industrial "post-industrial heroes." The Power Academy of Irish Dance followed Decker Deck-er with a tribute to another land. The ensemble, based in American Fork far from Irish roots, maintained the altitude and graceful angularity an-gularity of the traditional dance. Eight of the Academy's performers presented a variety va-riety of jigs and reels, some interspersed with modern choreography. With added historical highlights, their performance was a fresh introduction to Irish dance that brought hands together togeth-er and got feet tapping. MOORE HEATING & AIR 858 E. 100 N.

Gathered around tables that were scattered with wire for sculpting, the children chil-dren were given a short lecture on the sculptural techniques of motion. Then they were let loose to create cre-ate their own works of art. , "We want our son to be diversified and well rounded and it's a good chance for him to get to walk through the museum and see the paintings, but then it becomes more real and hands on," said April Johnson, of her son as he zoomed a hand-crafted rocket sculpture around her. Among the wire bracelets, brace-lets, baby strollers, and lightning bolts that materialized, mate-rialized, there were plenty of pleased parents. "I think it's important to give your kids the opportunity oppor-tunity to be in museums, especially art museums," said Lindsey Peterson, BYU art student and mother moth-er of three. "But I think that it's hard to find good, fun, free family activities to do and this was the ideal activity."
