Why ArtOrg?

ArtOrg believes that the natural candidate for this expansion is the NAG. However, in light of the sheer amount of work involved, the specialized expertise that is needed, and the sentiment which exists in the community, a separate group may be better able to realize this opportunity.

��

The basic organization that gets the work done, in our opinion, does not change. We have to be consequent in our decisions and lead the community to realize the goal of a 1000-student-per-year art school. We outline a good way to accomplish that in this ArtOrg’s Relationship to the NAG packet. The numbers work—and the plan fits together well the way we describe it.

"Before I went into the hospital, I'd usually work until midnight," the painter says as he crosses the living room, careful not to disturb the transparent plastic tubing that runs from both nostrils and a hole in his throat to a large, stainless-steel oxygen tank near the stairs. "Now I usually quit around 10:00." While none of the science-fiction art for which he's best known is in sight, Berkey's paintings--portraits, nature scenes, a large, mysteriouslooking abstract oil--are everywhere. At 73, Berkey is frailer than he'd care to be. Only a few months have passed since he returned from a seven-month hospital-and-rest-home ordeal, brought on by a bout of pneumonia that came with ��

Art Facilities ArtOrg has named its gallery the “Moving Walls” gallery, because the space is conﬁgurable by placing the walls just where we need them. Our inventory of seven-foot-high moving walls include four ninefoot, one six-foot and one three-foot walls. These walls give us nearly 60 lineal feet of conﬁgurable wall space, plus another 60 feet around the outside of the space. Both incandescent and halogen track lighting are used to provide a nice atmosphere and good art lighting. Several shows have included well over 50 original works each. Big shows such as Mary Grandpre “An Artistic Vision” and John Berkey “Observed” have provided ArtOrg with the ability to delight both young and old. Locals artists such as Nick Sinclair, Dee Teller, and Rick Swearer have proven very popular, and still other shows of work produced in ArtOrg studios such as “The First Edition” have been great ways to showcase ArtOrg activities.

FUTURE STUDIOS

The decision to open more Equipment-intensive-studios will be based on: ¤

number of artists it would help

the resulting classes for the public

the niche it fills: is the facility available elsewhere?

we consider it positive if the proposed studio would complement Carleton and St. Olaf’s offerings i.e. glass blowing
