Tapestry Charter High School · Art Department

Welcome to Rick Blane’s Page

Art Department

Mr. Blane has been a member of the Tapestry Charter High School faculty for nine years, inspiring students to view the world through an artistic lens. He believes art is everywhere—from the food we eat to the shoes we wear—and that creative expression is essential to understanding life.

“To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it.” — Kurt Vonnegut

One of Mr. Blane’s favorite parts of working at Tapestry is the camaraderie and strong relationships he shares with colleagues and students. He values the school’s emphasis on community and collaboration, especially through Crew. He enjoys watching students grow academically and personally and staying connected with graduates after they leave Tapestry.
