New Tech High School Students Collaborate with the City of Napa and Adobe for the Napa Lighted Art Festival

Students and instructors alike at Napa’s New Tech High School have had an integral role in the development of two major elements of the Napa Lighted Art Festival. Since the first day of this academic year, they have been integrating studies of light, prototype development, digital art and Adobe design programs into this semester’s curriculum, all in collaboration with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. The illuminating final results will be enjoyed by the masses starting tomorrow, when the Napa Lighted Art Festival kicks off. Read more about this exciting collaboration here!

Wine to Water Comes to Napa

 
We know people come from all over to visit our beautiful community and enjoy our wines. But did you know that our wine can make an even bigger impact around the world? The non-profit organization, Wine to Water, started with a simple concept: a bartender offering wine tastings to collect donations to support global clean water projects. This small act of kindness has grown to help over 750,000 people in 30 countries.

We are proud of and support Wine to Water’s commitment to helping disadvantaged communities and showing how our wines and our community can truly make a difference. We invite you to view the premiere of a 20-minute documentary highlighting clean water projects around the world at “Beyond The Valley”, a special event at the Culinary Institute of America at Copia in Napa on January 17. Councilmember Doris Gentry will be in attendance to issue a Proclamation highlighting these efforts.
