The City in Twilight: Surrealism, Photography, and Paris 19241939 Sept. 10, 2009Jan. 3, 2010 Examining the revolutionary social, aesthetic and political activities of the movement between the world wars, 120 plus photographs by Man Ray, Eugne Atget, Brassa, Hans Bellmer and Andr Kertsz, the show celebrates Paris as the literal and metaphoric foundation of Surrealism. Also, focus on select films, books and period ephemerathat evoke the mystery of the chance encounters experienced by the Surrealists as they wandered through the labyrinthine city streets. Georgia OKeeffe and Her Times: American Modernism from the Lane Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Oct. 2, 2009Jan. 31, 2010 In the 1950s, William H. Lane (1914 1995), the owner of a small Massachusetts manufacturing plant, began assembling an extraordinary collection of American modern art, which in 1990 was donated to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. With major paintings by Georgia OKeeffe, Arthur G. Dove, Stuart Davis, Charles Sheeler and other artists, the exhibition shows the collectors passion for art that reflects the diversity and dynamism of American modernism. Oliver Herring: Sculpture and Video Oct. 2, 2009Jan. 31, 2010 This New York-based artist collaborates with friends and strangers in the creation of his sculptures, performances and video art. Included are figurative works the artist first makes; photographic close-ups of his subjects entire bodies. Then he sculpts the form of their bodies out of polystyrene. The photographs are cut into jigsaw puzzle -like shapes and adhered to the sculpted figures, lending the uncanny quality of a photograph seen in the round. The color and value contrasts in his photographic fragments are manipulated, giving the sculptures a camouflage-like surface, emphasizing the inherent artificiality and social masking that are a subliminal consequence of photography.

Southern Ohio museum is a jewel for the city


The Taft Museum of Art, located at 316 Pike Street, Cincinnati, Ohio, is one of the countrys finest examples of Federal-style architecture. Built around 1820 for Martin Baum, every resident that followed in this magnificent structure, has added history and art, as if this house were designed just for that purpose. In the mid 1800s, owner Nicholas Longworth extensively remodeled the interior, even hiring African American painter Robert S. Duncanson to paint landscape murals in the foyer, now considered one of the finest sets of murals dating before the Civil War era. David Sinton, father of museum co-founder, Anna Sinton Taft, was the next buyer of the exquisite villa. Passed down to his daughter and son-in-law, Charles Phelps Taft, the home was nurtured and filed with works of art until their deaths in 1931 and 1929, respectively. Today, over 690 works of art are on display in the Baum-LongworthTaft House, the mansion and contents bequeathed to the people of Cincinnati in 1927 by the Taft couple. Exhibitions, tours, a library, art reaching programs and facility rental are a few of the educational tools used to expand on what this National Historic Landmark has to offer.

Monet to Dal: Modern Through January 18, 2009 Show chronicles one of the most fascinating periods in the history of artthe gradual shift from a reliance on artistic tradition to an insistence on individual innovation at the turn of the 20th century. Beginning in the Impressionist years (mid-1860s to mid 1880s), gloriously light-dappled landscapes by Claude Monet and elegant portraits by Auguste Renoir and Edgar Degas explore the effect of light and color. The PostImpressionists (mid-1880s1920) feature three paintings each by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Czanne, great masters who emphatically transformed the ethereal ideas of the earlier generation, pointing the way toward the modern world. Expressive sculpture from Auguste Rodin and his followers mirrors these advances in three dimensions. The 20th century is marked by seven works by Pablo

paintings, executed with layers of plastic resin poured directly onto stretched canvas. While recalling the work of a preceding generation of American Color Field painters, Zimmermann's abstractions retain the imprint of technological manipulation, making it a product of its time. The luminous surfaces evoke traditional stained glass windows as well as the modern glow of television and computer monitors. Part electronic automation and part artistic intuition, Zimmermann's paintings underscore the influence of technology on our 21st -century world view. Time Made Real: The Carvings of Tim Lewis Through February 22, 2009 Best known folk art stone carvers working today, Lewis highly respected for his ability to coax powerful images out of a difficult, if not unyielding and unforgiving, organic material such as sandstone. He was born in 1952 in Isonville, Kentucky, where he still resides. Following a truck accident in 1988, he began carving in wood, before choosing stone as his principle medium.

Bath: Internet of the 1700s for artists


Nowadays artists who want to get their name out to the public quickly often turn to the Internet. But what did they do before modern technology? In 1700s England, the ideal place for an unknown but gifted artist to win fame and fortune was in the town of Bath. Bath was especially favorable to portrait painters, because this popular winter resort attracted the wealthy who came to take the waters. Artists went to Bath in hopes of getting commissions from titled aristocrats, which was an excellent way to gain instant fame.
Bath was not the best location for a resort. The ancient city, founded by the Romans, was squashed into the narrow valley of the river Avon, and its climate was damp and chilly. However, it boasted a group of hot springs (rare in England) that gave half a million gallons a day of slightly salty, supposedly healing water at a temperature of 120F, which is just about as hot as most people can stand to bathe in. In the 1600s, Bath was already a popular gathering place, with people coming to drink and bathe in the healing waters, which were reputed to cure everything from leprosy to arthritis. Unfortunately, public hygiene at that time was not good. One horrified gentleman wrote, The Baths were like so many bear gardens, and modesty was entirely shut out of them; people of both sexes bathing day and night naked; and dogs, cats, pigs and even human creatures were hurled into the water while people were bathing in it. By the late 1700s Bath had been cleaned up and turned into a sparkling, fun resort. It was a tremendously fashionable place for the wealthy to gather. As usual during that century, people followed a strict daily ritual. It started at 6 a.m., when everyone who was anyone rose and gathered at the hot baths (like shallow swimming pools) where they soaked, packed like sardines, for a couple of hours. While bathing in the hot springs, women wore garments of canvaslike material that didnt cling to the body when wet. Men bathed fully clothed and usually wore their three-cornered hats. The sexes were supposed to bathe separately, but Daniel Defoe described one of the most fashionable baths thusly: The place being but narrow, they converse freelymake vows and sometimes love. Tobias Smollett told of spectators in the galleries pleasing their roving fancies with bodies, faces, eyes, etc. In one corner stood an old lecher no less than 3 score years and 10 making love to a young lady not exceeding 14. Following the ritual bath, everyone went to the Pump Room. There they were expected to drink three glasses of supposedly health-giving mineral water from the springs. Again, this was an excuse for socializing and heavy flirtation. Gossip at the Pump Room was famous all over England for its scandal and malice. Meanwhile, artists had the opportunity, during conversation, to solicit painting commissions. The next step was breakfast, followed by holy services (open only to people of quality) in Baths ancient and beautiful abbey. Everyone dressed in the very latest fashion to attend church. During services, the elderly slept and younger people flirted. Following the service people strolled around the town for a few hours, visiting bookstores, going to dressmakers, or browsing the luxury shops. Artists invited people to their lodgings to see their paintings. An enormous midday dinner was eaten at 2 p.m., followed by tea in the Assembly Rooms or gossip in the pump Room. On two nights a week there were formal dances, where Beau Nash, the social director of Bath, selected couples of the highest rank to dance the first minuet while the rest of the company watched. This may sound boring, but for most people it was very enjoyable because Beau Nash insisted that all visitors, regardless of rank, must mingle freely in the streets and common rooms. The titled people felt grand just from associating with one another. The lower ranks, such as merchants and artists, were happy because for a little while they could converse with grand lords and ladies on an equal level. If an artist could get even one portrait commission from an aristocrat, his career was assured. In a way, Bath in the 17th and 18th centuries was very like the Internet; you could chat, meet people with like interests, and sell your products. And you could also soak away your arthritis!

George Tooker: A Retrospective May 1-August 2, 2009 Almost sixty paintings and drawings, including several of Tookers bestknown works, The Subway, 1950; Government Bureau, 1956; The Waiting Room,1959; and Ward, 1970-71, the exhibition introduces new audiences to Tookers hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable imagery. It reveals the extraordinary range and depth of his art to scholars and artists who may only be familiar with paintings. It is also the first exhibition to integrate ephemera from the artists papers with paintings and drawings, including sketchbooks, letters and photographs, in order to show his range of interests, provide social context, and bring his career to life. The Architecture of Painting: Charles Burchfield, 1920 May 22-August 2, 2009 The exhibition is the first to consider the importance of a body of related paintings created by Burchfield between 1918 and 1920 that depict stark houses and views of industrial landscapes. Distinguished by their austere architecture, the works employ hallmarks of modernist pictorial strategies, such as flattened space, frontality, and reductive simplicity. Chihuly Illuminated September 25-Spring 2010 This survey exhibition comprises sculpture, installations, and twodimensional work from the early 1970s to the present. Also the exhibition coincides with the reinstallation of his work at the Franklin Park Conservatory. Eye Spy: Adventures in Art Ongoing An interactive exhibition for children and families, features important objects from the Museum's collections displayed in architectural settings that relate to the time and place they were made.

Society dedicated to ancient art preservation


The art of glass has been in our society for centuries, strictly functional in the early days, it has now taken on a life of its own. Very few organizations exist where support and educational values can be realized but that is beginning to change. The Indiana Society of Lampwork and Art Glass Artists in Carmel (ISLAGA) is dedicated to making the art of glass and lampwork more public and offers membership to anyone who is interested. Many current members include glass artists with a mixed pot of glass media, including stained glass, lampworking, fusing/slumping and precious metal clay (PMC).

They have become an inspiration to the arts


Celebrating their 45th year, the Naperville Art League started in 1961as a not-for-profit organization in the State of Illinois. Its founding thirty-member base has expanded through volunteerism, art appreciation and community affairs to become a cornerstone of this Illinois area. Seasonal art classes are held for adults and children in drawing, oil and watercolor painting. Workshops include experienced, well-known instructors in everything from basic drawing, ceramics, sculpturing, and more. Naperville, which features one of the most beautiful brick and paved walkways winding through scenic park grounds, has the perfect setting for an annual Riverwalk Fine Art Fair. Covered bridges, plants and fountains accent sculptures and artwork that is commissioned by Napervilles Century Walk committee. The Art League is proud to sponsor such a gala event with many return art lovers and buyers from all over the country. Regular meetings, a monthly newsletter, exhibits, shows and sharing new and old news with other artists make this a must organization for those in the Naperville area.

Jazz Arts growing asset to central Kentucky


MICHAEL MAULDIN - An Evening with Mark Twain, Saturday, January 17 7:30 pm. Adults $18 /$22 and Students $9/$11. New York actor Michael Mauldin, as Mark Twain in his customary white suit and ever-present cigar, takes us through a fascinating panoply of uproarious comedy, gentle reminiscence, and biting social satire on the human condition. It is all seen through the eyes of a man who was at the top of the literary and social spectrum for most of his life and had reached the age and level of esteem where he felt free to say exactly what was on his mind about politics, religion and just about every other subject and news of the day.
Jazz is still very much alive in Lexington, Kentucky and the Jazz Arts Foundation intends to keep it that way. A non-profit organization dating back to 1989, their purpose is to educate the public about Jazz Arts through the promotion of awareness and sensitivity to Jazz and to upgrade it as an art form to the level of community acceptance and support equal to that given other performing arts. The all-volunteer Board of Directors is made up of musicians, educators, business leaders and jazz enthusiasts. One of their primary focuses is to educate and enrich students through teaching the art of jazz music. The Jazz Arts Foundation Youth Ensemble (JAFYE) was started in 1996 and continues to this day with intensive workshops designed for high school jazz or music programs throughout Central Kentucky. The Duke Madison Memorial Scholarship is given once a year to honor one of Lexingtons greatest jazz players, Duke Madison. This years recipient was Cooper Harbert, a George Rogers Clark High School Junior. The Scholarship covers the cost of the Jamey Aebersold Summer Jazz Workshop in Louisville, including room and board. Many events are sponsored along with camps and workshops. If you are a serious jazz enthusiast, jazz player, student or music teacher, check out the Jazz Arts Foundation that offers a different form of art that is quickly gaining popularity and respect. Visit their website for information on their various programs, orchestra and performances at http://jazzartsfoundation.org.

Art of the Ballroom Dance


Does Ballroom Dancing remind you of an era when the world was simplistic and sincere? When people were cultured and courteous, nave and polite? Music was pleasant, well balanced and rhythmic?Movie enthusiasts may recall the 1994 film True Lies with Arnold Schwarzeneggar and Tia Carrere in their ballroom scene, creating memories with dance. Time doesnt change, only people change.
If you have been searching for a social relaxation that not only enhances your appreciation of music but also increases your sense of balance, Ballroom Dancing could be for you. The word ballroom denotes a room where balls may be held. Balls were important social events in the days before radio and television (as in having a ball). The word ball derives from the Latin balare meaning to dance. Standard Ballroom dances have diverse origins; rhythms, tempos and aesthetics, but have one thing in common: they are all danced by a couple in closed Hold, maintaining five areas of contact between the partners while performing all the figures of the dances. As early as the 16th century, when men wore swords and women, long dresses, Ballroom Dancing was a popular form of entertainment. As the years evolved, so did the forms of dance. This evolution began spreading to Paris, Germany, Austria. In 1754, the Germans created the Waltzen where women began to hold their dresses high and revolved. Quite a scandal, at the time, but this form of dance became most popular among the waltzes. In another part of the world, the light spirited Flamenco dance, also known as the Tango, emigrated with settlers from Spain. Thought to have received its beginnings from African Negro slaves, residents of slums in Buenos Aires and folk dances from Cuba, Frances music-hall stars, along with film popular Rudolph Valentino, created this otherwise, paupers dance into legend among the upper classes. The Foxtrot was introduced by the military as a demonstration of a horse in its impressive trot. Combined with the Fox, an animal who has an uncanny ability to walk with its feet under its body, thus, forming a single set of footprints, two separate branches arrived; The Slow Foxtrot and the QuickStep. Many of you may recognize the Charleston, one form of the QuickStep dance. The popularity of Ballroom Dancing seems to be making a comeback with the wide variety of dances available. Local areas are becoming more involved with providing social dances for all ages and ability levels. The physical, mental and social benefits, in addition to making new friends, quickly attract people nationally and worldwide. Recent articles have promoted Ballroom Dancing as a great body conditioner, especially for the heart, in addition to building physical stamina and reducing stress. Dancing with a partner in harmony with good music further helps you develop a more open, understanding, responsive and supportive relationship with your partner and others. If you want to learn more about this different and exciting form of art, contact your local USABDA (United States Amateur

Ballroom Dancers Association)

that offer social events and free or low-cost lessons for beginners. Many area colleges also offer programs on an introductory level. Art comes in many shapes and forms. Ballroom Dancing can create memories of calm and beauty, stowed away in ones mind, to be unlocked at just the right time.

We offer Three Methods of Learning Dance and it is the combination of these methods that enables the student to learn efficiently
Private Lessons (Schedule a Meeting) Gives you the ability to get personal, one-on-one attention, working at your own pace. This is the strongest and fastest method of learning to dance. Group Lessons ($7 each) Beginner through advanced lessons available. You don't need a partner. A great way to meet and dance with new people in a structured environment. Provides lots of repetition and develops leading and following skills. Practice Dances ($5 each)

Come every Friday starting at 8:00 p.m. to meet new friends and have a great time, while you practice what you've learned from the Private and Group lessons.

Norwin Art League, located in western Pennsylvania, has changed dramatically since George S. Koury, an accomplished artist, first founded the League to promote art appreciation in 1954. At that time, the community offered evening classes in art subjects. Today the League is busy with Beginner Art Classes, Advanced Art Workshops, Art Classes for Children, Art Shows, Art Displays and have adults and children from neighboring states come to learn. Children are an important part of this community and also an important part of the Norwin Art League. Workshops in photography, Chinese brush painting, painting on glass, oil painting, and watercolor landscapes are just a few of the classes available for kids as young as five years old. Unique birthday parties for children ages five to fifteen are offered and are a great way to get others involved. Talented, enthusiastic teachers offer two hours for craft classes or three hours for oil painting classes. Children love to learn new things and what a wonderful way to present art to our youngsters. An annual art show presents stunning new artists, young and old, and many times leads them to a new goal, art. If you are interested in beginning art or have had some experience, call Verna Bernard at 724-8630815 or email Pat Vaughn at bobvon123@aol.com.

Great Lakes organization flourishing like fresh air


The French knew the meaning of beauty when en plein air exploded in the mid 1800s. In the open air is the English interpretation and this phrase is used widely in plein air painting. Feeling nature, capturing the immediacy of a soaring bird, the floating of leaves, or the clouds unfolding the sky. The Great Lakes region covers a large amount of territory and touches the shores of eight states. Michigan is a place where you can discover nature at its finest as a plein air painter. Sand dunes, lakes, marshes, mountains, rock formations and more is what prompted four artists to create the Great Lakes Plein Air Painters Association in February 2004. This group of four has grown substantially in the past four years and plans Plein Air gatherings within the Great Lakes region six times per year. Some locations chosen for a two hour painting session have included Saugatuck, Michigan, well known as the historic Art Coast of Michigan with its towering dunes, wetlands, vineyards, orchards, steamboats and sailboats; Oscoda, Michigan where a lighthouse at Tawas Point adds a beautiful touch to the sandy AuSable River; and Frankenmuth, Michigan, also known as Little Bavaria which holds the worlds largest Christmas store, brew pub, woolen mills, covered bridge and more. Besides unforgettable outings, GLPAPA offers educational opportunities for Artist Members through critique sessions, demonstrations and workshops by Master Members. There are also plein air competitions throughout the year. If you want to spread your wings within this group, contact Patsy Woodman at pjw_artist@yahoo.com or visit www.glpapa.com and download an application.

The Kentucky Watercolor Society was formed in 1977 and has been nationally recognized as one of the most prominent nonprofit Watercolor groups in the country. Workshops featuring such international favorites as Lian Zhen and Sterling Edwards, proves that Kentucky is thriving with artists, offering the best instructors that can be found. Even if you are a beginner to painting, KWS and their excellent programs have something to offer. 2009 will bring Art Over Louisville, KWS Summer Show, AWS All Member Show, Aquaventure 2009, Aqueous USA 2009 and KWS New Member Show, as artists have the opportunity to show their work and win awards. "Whether you try to control it or let it flow freely, watercolor is the ultimate challenge offering endless possibilities in creativity," says Bevery Morfeld, one of KWS's members. Instructors share Bevery's philosophy in their talented views of teaching and this clearly shows in their sponsored exhibitions and competitions. The juried Aqueous USA competition is an example of the pride taken in presenting works from the over 500 members of this society.
