DAYTON CELEBRATES

GLASS:

CHIHULY AND BEYOND

FROM THE DIRECTOR It’s hard to believe we are already approaching the mid-point of 2014, with summer just around the corner. Art Ball is nearly here, and in no time we’ll be looking ahead to fall and Oktoberfest.

Only a few short weeks ago, it seemed like winter would never end! The harsh winter weather of January and February – heavy snows and extended periods of sub-zero temperatures – presented many challenges for our facilities team, who did an outstanding job of maintaining the building and grounds.

Even in normal weather conditions, maintaining and operating our historic buildings is a difficult and expensive proposition. Did you know that, on average, it costs $12,000 per day just to operate The DAI’s buildings?

We’re very excited to announce that, as this issue went to press, Ohio Governor John Kasich signed the State Capital Appropriations Bill which included nearly $2.2M for The DAI to help fund extensive renovation projects at the museum.

The legislative delegation from the Miami Valley region is to be commended for their bipartisan support and advocacy for the funding.

It will help create efficiencies that will make The DAI’s historic building more accessible and financially sustainable.

The building requires work on its HVAC systems; ingress and egress points; and support systems for technology that will make it accessible and relevant to the next generation. Permanent capital improvements will address deferred maintenance, and energy efficiency measures will be completed. These changes will help the museum continue to draw audience that will support economic vitality and a high quality of life in the region.

At our recent Annual Meeting (which had to be rescheduled due to that nasty winter weather!), we released our 2013 Community Report, highlighting last year’s accomplishments. I’m pleased to report that the museum ended 2013 with a positive cash flow. We still have much work to do but have made great progress, thanks to our talented team. I encourage everyone to download and read the Community Report, which is available on our website.

You still have time to see our Spring special exhibition, Isabella Kirkland: Stilled Life, which is on view through May 18. If you haven’t yet seen the wonderful, intricate paintings of Isabella Kirkland, don’t let this opportunity slip away. The exhibition was organized by our Curator of Collections, Aimee Marcereau DeGalan, and not only is it the first comprehensive retrospective of Kirkland’s work, but Dayton is also the only place you will be able to see it!

Also as this issue went to press, we were saddened to hear of the passing of Ann Deeter, at the age of 104. Ann, who first came to DAI as a student in 1932, was the longtime registrar of the School of The Dayton Art Institute and touched many lives during several decades at the museum.

We send our condolences to her family and many friends. Look for a memorial feature about Ann in our next issue.

Thank you again for your continued support of The Dayton Art Institute, and I look forward to seeing all of you at your museum this summer.

Best regards,

Art Changes Lives Live it

Art Ball, presented by PNC, is just a few weeks away, but there’s still time to take part in this year’s Flight of Fancy, on Saturday, June 14.

Art Ball Chairs Tamera Geesling and Thomas Roehrig selected Seth Velsey’s Art Deco-themed sculpture Flight as the centerpiece for the elegant evening.

“We have always considered the building to be a work of art in itself, so as we started looking at pieces for Art Ball, we were hoping to find a piece that was created in the same era and with a Dayton connection,” said Tom. “Something to complement the building’s beauty and give a nod to its rich history.”

“Flight was a natural fit,” shared Tamera.

“Standing over six-and-a-half feet tall, the plaster and aluminum leaf model was a proposed commission for Wright Field in Dayton, and the artist served as an instructor at the School of The Dayton Art Institute. When we first saw the piece in storage, we knew immediately that we wanted to share her with the entire community. Bold, yet elegant,

the piece is the perfect inspiration for Art Ball.”

An expanded VIP Cocktail Hour returns this year, offering early entry to the event for a private reception, with high-end wines and hors d’oeuvres, and a special art viewing.

Art Ball is a major fundraising event for the museum, and a key to that effort is the Grand Draw Raffle. Only 600 tickets will be sold for $100 each, with the chance to win one of 100 fabulous prize packages, including jewelry, travel, dining, entertainment and much more. Even if you aren’t able to attend Art Ball, you can still take part in the Grand Draw Raffle – winners need not be present to win.

Call the museum or visit our website to purchase tickets.

To make Art Ball reservations, go to daytonartinstitute.org/artball or contact Elaine Gounaris, egounaris@daytonart.org or 937-512-0153. Tickets start at $275 each; VIP upgrade is an additional $50 per person. See you there!

EXPERIENCENTER GETS DECKED OUT!

JENNIFER FARRINGTON SELECTED AS HOUK AWARD WINNER

Each spring, a new theme emerges in The DAI’s Experiencenter, which was the nation’s first interactive, intergenerational museum gallery.

This year, we will explore the art and culture of body adornment, jewelry and costume.

Jennifer Farrington has been selected as the recipient of the 13th annual Pamela P. Houk Award for Excellence in Art Education. Jennifer is a dedicated community arts educator who successfully reaches children and families through her teaching at the Montessori School of Dayton, SPARK Art Studio and Oak Tree Corner.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 10, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m., for the opening reception of the new Decked Out! exhibition. Meet artists, talk with a costume designer, take part in an interactive performance by artist Laurana Wong, and create hands on crafts.

Featured permanent collection objects in the exhibition include portraits, textiles, Asian belt buckles, Byzantine rings, African bracelets, European lace and Asian fans. Costumes from the Wright State Theatre Department will be displayed alongside artists’ installations and hands-on gallery activities for all ages, preschool to adult. BodyMod, designed by Dayton Early College Academy students, will connect visitors to the fascinating history of make-up, tattooing and body shaping. Young learners will delight in puppets, books about dress, manipulatives and a dress-up chest of costumes.

At the Montessori School of Dayton she successfully developed and implemented an arts education program. Jennifer sought to bring art to more children in the Miami Valley and subsequently created SPARK Art Studio. As Director of SPARK Art Studio, Jennifer sees herself as a facilitator, one who assists children in self expression and creative problem solving. Jennifer sets the stage for children to create meaning and art in their own way, while providing the tools and knowledge that feed their ability to be creative and critical thinkers.

In particular, her work with Oak Tree Corner for Grieving Children is unique.

At Oak Tree, she shares her talents with children who have experienced a deep loss through the death of a loved one.

Through facilitating creative activities and art projects, Jennifer helps children and families explore their feelings in a safe and supportive environment. Her work at Oak Tree opens up a process for dialogue among children about their experiences with grief, an invaluable asset to the hundreds of children who have participated in the workshops at Oak Tree.

On the heels of the 50th anniversary of the studio glass movement in America in 2012, the special exhibition Dayton Celebrates Glass: Chihuly and Beyond showcases the Dayton Region’s love of studio glass, ranging from the early pioneers of the studio movement through today’s artistic innovators.

Aimed at demonstrating the enthusiasm, knowledge, and sensitivity a group of regional collectors and galleries have brought to a specialized but fertile field of artistic expression, Dayton Celebrates Glass highlights work drawn from area collections, Ohio institutions, and artists with ties to the region. Some of the artists featured in the exhibition include Dale Chihuly, Harvey Littleton, Dominick Labino, Lino Tagliapietra, Dante Marioni, Paul Stankard, William Morris, Toots Zynsky, Dan Dailey, Jon Kuhn, Stephen Powell, Christopher Ries and many others.

The Studio Glass movement began with a workshop led by American glass artists Harvey Littleton and Dominick Labino at the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, in March 1962. During this workshop these two artists introduced new advances in technology that allowed glass artists to work in a smaller scale, instead of requiring the reliance on collaborations with large industrial companies, thereby freeing

MAX MAY MEMORIAL HOLOCAUST ART EXHIBITION OPENS JULY 20 This exhibition of artwork by area students is an annual event sponsored

by Renate Frydman and her family, in honor of their grandfather, Max May, an artist and architect. Allen Seymour sponsors the framing, in memory of his wife, Carole.

It starts with an art contest, in which teachers encourage their students to express, artistically, that we cannot change the past, but we can change the future. The contest and exhibit encourage students in grades 5 – 12 to express their belief in and hope for a world that is free of racism, disrespect and intolerance.

This year’s exhibition will move to the summertime, July 20 - September 14. It will be shown in South Gallery, on the lower level of the museum, inside the double glass doors and to the right. This initiative is part of the work accomplished by the Holocaust Education Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Dayton.

For more information about their activities, visit www.daytonholocaust.org.
