If you have visited, you know we are tremendously excited about our new space and thrilled to see the excitement it generates. We are currently on the exhibition number two at our new gallery and the education program upstairs is in the midst of Summer Art Camp 2010.<br /><br />Following a successful opening of the new gallery on Spring Gallery Night with <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">In the Balance</span> featuring the work of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Amanda Gerken,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Josie Osborne </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Heather Wiedeman</span> as well as a small group show featuring the work of our amazing volunteers, we are continuing the season with <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Sailing the Barbarous Coast, </span>a two-person show by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Colin Matthes</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Anthony Smith, Jr. </span><br /><br />For your enjoyment, in the following posts, we are sharing with you a number of pictures photo-documenting our recent activities.Dorotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709613120316242934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775008080401082322.post-46297093251926651212010-04-14T10:52:00.000-07:002010-04-14T11:45:24.790-07:00WPCA to feature artist members for Gallery Night and beyond!WPCA has always enjoyed an extraordinary support of the local community.

Working with a shoestring budget we created two galleries, changed configuration of the walls, laid down and finished new floors, painted the entire space and are about to install spiffy track lighting. These are just the big projects – it is hard to account for all the mundane and detailed tasks that have also been completed. We would have never been able to accomplish all this without the help and contribution of our artist-friends. They dedicated a lot of their time and talent and we will never be able to fully pay back our debt. Over 70 people spent uncountable hours cleaning, hauling garbage and ripping out old tile. It’s been a truly extraordinary effort. We are thankful to them all!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5k0RiEXuXXG0iloE3esmKZPceIlIELtbRPjNXDD_NDif_H7lud_77gQcmiIHgsNHIMkcVctz1ysqTixlUGst12P6wPlZRWQemcWT1QAYCM4r93eFs5QtPbcpGBctIrZEtPEyuEPZtyny/s1600/Studio+Heap+36x48in.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5k0RiEXuXXG0iloE3esmKZPceIlIELtbRPjNXDD_NDif_H7lud_77gQcmiIHgsNHIMkcVctz1ysqTixlUGst12P6wPlZRWQemcWT1QAYCM4r93eFs5QtPbcpGBctIrZEtPEyuEPZtyny/s400/Studio+Heap+36x48in.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460058033347468242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Richard Knight, <span style="font-style: italic;">Studio Heap,</span> mixed media on paper, 36" x 48"</span><br /><br />With our sparkling new facility, we can showcase the work of our members on a regular basis and we are looking forward to curating them into a variety of exhibitions.

This program combines art and movement. Students learn a choreographed piece from Puerto Rico named <b>bomba</b>. Students also study the meaning of <b>mandalas</b>, cultural and historical contexts and how mandalas can be used as tools to visualize and achieve their dreams and aspirations.<br /><br />The beginning of the piece is a photograph of the students in bomba formation taken from above. Then the photograph is enlarged and transferred to canvas so that students can paint and embellish it. <br /><br />Students are taught elements and principles of art and dance for deeper understanding and meaningful art making process. <b><br /><br /></b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dance Vocabulary</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">: </span>movement, space, time, level, direction, beat, duration...<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Art Vocabulary: </span>line, shape, symmetry, color, repetition, rhythm, balance...<br /><br />The artist instructors for this project were Kate Bradley and Miriam Levie.Dorotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709613120316242934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775008080401082322.post-78506553714138169032010-03-27T13:06:00.001-07:002010-03-27T13:24:57.880-07:00Spring Break Afternoons with Art!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL8FMcoC4qGq8VZwoo7GrCmrzWPWYkc_mZUe_hJyPdndI67wI6rWmOcPRqD-ibIH3iaVXWHQsET9ONby7twj9ranPcsD8X-QKjsvDKZJCyKdGAB_67a-JuFfpL6yQLBzsYPA-bTgs7d71W/s1600/AWA_1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 363px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL8FMcoC4qGq8VZwoo7GrCmrzWPWYkc_mZUe_hJyPdndI67wI6rWmOcPRqD-ibIH3iaVXWHQsET9ONby7twj9ranPcsD8X-QKjsvDKZJCyKdGAB_67a-JuFfpL6yQLBzsYPA-bTgs7d71W/s400/AWA_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453407604860069250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It's spring (yes, yes – believe it or not, but <span style="font-style: italic;">theoretically</span> we are IN the spring already), so our first official educational program to kick off at the new location is all about the wonderful, sensuous <span style="font-weight: bold;">world of color! Afternoons with Art start on April 5th</span> and run throughout MPS Spring Break. If you know youth aged 6 – 12 encourage them (and their parents) to sign up and check out our sparkling new, bright and sun-filled classroom space.<br /><br />After weeks of packing, moving, unpacking, cleaning, mopping, tearing tile and other fun activities, our new home is finally beginning to look like an inhabitable space. And, it is looking VERY nice, if you haven’t seen it yet. Kate and Kristin made a lot of little miracles happen to turn the upstairs rooms into two gorgeous, cozy and friendly classrooms. Not only do we have separate art and movement areas, but also a lot of small, fantastic perks: as a cozy reading nook, an observational drawing site, and a puzzle table to account just for the main attractions. <br /><br />When I peaked upstairs yesterday, Kristin was working on a giant, movable color wheel. How I wish I could put my hands on it… Well, chances are I will not, but hey, the device is perfect for the hands somewhat smaller than mine. I am also sure that Kristin could find a learning project for me too. We are all very excited to have her here as she brings to our table a wealth of experience in the arts, working both with children and adults.<br /><br />In any case, Kristin awaits a bubbly group with a score of fun activities planned for the Break. Through visual art, dance, movement and group activities each student will create their own color portfolio, including their own pocket guide to color. This is a FUN way to teach color theory. All projects focus on this crucial element of art, but exploring the artistic principles has never been more exhilarating. All the works created during the week can be taken home on the last day of class in students’ own hand-crafted WPCA portfolio!<br /><br />SPRING BREAK Afternoons with Art<br />WALKER’S POINT CENTER FOR THE ARTS<br />New classroom: 839 South 5th Street<br />Milwaukee, WI 53204<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday through Friday, April 5–9th, 1–5pm; for children ages 6–12.</span><br /><br />Class size is limited.<br />Call Kristin to register: <span style="font-weight: bold;">414-672-2787</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$ 35</span> per week, includes all art materials and healthy snacks!<br />Free for the students of Bruce Guadelupe.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PLEASE JOIN US!</span>Dorotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13709613120316242934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8775008080401082322.post-47801340046550286492010-01-13T13:25:00.000-08:002010-01-13T13:45:54.696-08:00Gallery Night at WPCA - closing reception of CoPA 3rd Annual Juried ShowOn <span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday, January 15th </span>you have the last opportunity to come and check out the fine selection of photographs included in the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.copamilwaukee.com/New/">Coalition of Photographic Artists'</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> 3rd Annual Juried Show. </span>We will be hosting a special <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gallery Night Reception</span> from <span style="font-weight: bold;">5 to 9 pm. </span><br /><br />The show features 47 images by 34 artists chosen for the exhibition by a renown curator, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Paul Ha,</span> of the St. Louis's Museum of Contemporary Art.

Even though this year's juror, Paul Ha of St.Louis's Contemporary could not join us due to previous (certainly important!) art engagements, he was kind enough to send us a video tape with his thoughts on the jurying process and photography he selected. It's a great addition to the show that helps to see the work included in the exhibition from a new, fresh perspective.<br />We were fortunate too, that all the award winners were able to join us: Mary Farmilant of Chicago, IL, awarded "The Best in Show," John Koeppen of Racine, WI and Chris Norris of Madison, WI, who both received "Honorable Mentions," and Kristin Keshena, enthusiastically selected to receive "Viewers' Choice Award."

Donations take the form of “gifts” that participating non-profits offer shoppers. The event calls attention to the growing needs in the community in a manner that invites you to come to the table in the spirit of holiday giving traditions. Last year’s fair drew hundreds of visitors and raised several thousand dollars for local charities. For us, The Alternative Gift Fair is a great as it helps to build relationships and community.<br /><br />When you visit the Exchange Alternative Gift Fair, you will receive a “shopping list” of participating non-profit groups which show the different donation levels shoppers can support.

As always, Rosa Zamora brought together an unforgettable, diverse group of people to create the <span style="font-style: italic;">ofrendas</span> for the loved and important ones who passed away. The evening was full of attractions for anyone from age 1 to 101: from yummy food and snacks, sugar skulls meticulously crafted by Rosa herself, face painting by Eriks Johnson, to wonderful traditional music by the Mexican trio and a lecture on Oaxacan tradition of the Day of the Dead by Dara Larson and Dan Leister of Alverno College.<br />I know we haven't been very good about posting recently, so I hope that a small sampling of our pictures from the evening will make up for the lack of posts.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii8yG4-eabsQzTWA6rZZr8NYLBQbyNXVAqgqmLU4NAByPbFOzMc0E1NIXbOB6pcvFnTz-zsDWLzSiQ4CpBVI9Sc7HJeYFIIBAw8fv3Zn2wWwMADDU04B9lsCmb7_Vsx92SB8jE0ud78qoQ/s1600-h/dia_blog27.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Walker's Point Center for the Arts is a recipient of one of the $15,000 grants. That evening, a local legislator questioned the use of federal stimulus funds for the arts. On Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden announced a $299 million award to a local firm for research and development of automotive battery technology. There was nothing but praise for that funding. And rightly so, since green technology research and development is a stated goal of the current administration.<br /><br />In doing the math ($299 million vs. $300,000) I was reminded of the monetary value we place on arts and culture in this society and how arts are often the last funded and first cut when we have an economic downturn. I was also reminded how the arts are the focus of attack simply because artists often challenge the status quo and push our emotions on political, social and economic issues. The arts can also calm us in trying times and unite us in common cause. These are the very reasons the arts are necessary to sustain our vitality and continue our national dialogue around issues of culture and the arts.<br /><br />The current recession has impacted all sectors of employment not just the financial or automotive sectors who have received the vast majority of stimulus funds. The purpose of stimulus funding was to create and restore jobs. The arts grant received by WPCA will result in the restoration of our part time classroom art teacher position providing free after school art education. These are Milwaukee youth in a neighborhood that has seen significant job loss during the past year. This position was cut in February due to the current recession and funding challenges facing many nonprofit organizations during the past several years.
