Newsletter and Catalog Letter from the Director As Executive Director of this educational, artistic, inspirational community you are all a part of, I periodically examine and re-examine the nature of my job. Such introspection always leaves me with a great feeling of gratitude, even as I struggle with the management of change.

Entire books are written about it, but one short statement seems to fit here.

artists, educators, parents, teens, all kinds of adults and children—creative people of all sorts and ages.

With roots in Montessori education, our focus is on children: those in need, those at risk, those who are a bit lost or battling an illness, and those who want more doors open and more skills explored; children whose creative juices can fuel a great many new opportunities.

“Observe how all things are continually being born of change…”

I invite you—no, I impolore you—to join the work, to support the effort, to strengthen the community through our work at The Harwood Art Center.

Together, let’s see what will come to fruition during Harwood’s twentieth year.

Escuela del Sol and its Harwood Art Center are about to embark on a new school year. This brings with it hopes, dreams, and resolutions. We start this year with some changes.

The Harwood team enters the year with one member less and one member more. Fiscal belt-tightening led to the farewell of former Program Director Stephanie Gonzales.

I want to take this opportunity to thank her for the time and energy she gave Harwood and for her leadership and dedication. We wish her well in future endeavors.

Our Mission The Harwood is a creative center for community and the arts.

Participating at a grassroots level, we work to build a sustainable and more vibrant local, statewide and regional community by using the arts as a catalyst for cultural enrichment, personal empowerment and as a vehicle for social change.

Friedje vanGils Executive Director Escuela del Sol Montessori The Harwood Art Center

As the demand for Harwood programs and services grows, we are grateful for the addition of our new Administrative Assistant, Ms. GuruAmrit Khalsa. She is learning the complexities of our programs and is doing so with joy and energy; please stop by the front office to meet her on your next visit to Harwood.

Oh this isn’t just any anniversary.

This is two decades of anniversaries.

This is a stories-from-the-early-dayslayered-with-triumphant-hand-claps kind of anniversary.

This January will mark twenty years of talented artists, inspiring community partners, whimsical creative adventures, life-affirming relationships, and inventive transformations.

We would like to take this opportunity to do two things. First of all, we want to thank you for being a part of our twenty years. Whether you knew us back when we were bolting chairs to the ceiling and sleeping in the hallways or are just now getting to know The Harwood, we thank you.

Telling you that we would be nowhere without you is not simple rhetoric. It’s 100% true.

Without your attendance at our events, your courageous performances, your ingenious artwork, your uncanny teaching style, your enrollment in our classes, your footsteps in our parades, your donations, ideas, and volunteered hours, we would be but a distant glimmer in Albuquerque’s memory bank.

So truly, thank you.

Secondly, we want you to rev up your celebration engines and plan on spending lots of time with us in the coming year. 2011 will be a full year of celebrating, reflecting, and honoring, and you are going to be our guests. Keep an eye (or two) out for special invitations and information about our anniversary.

Letter from Escuela del Sol: We’re keeping busy with fractals, campers and artists.

Escuela del Sol’s Summer Camp for toddlers and 3 – 6 yr. olds and the Harwood Summer Art Camp for elementary and mid-school students kept the campus humming this summer. It’s great to see lots of kids and adults working, playing and making art together! While summer seems all too short, we are looking forward to a great school year.

A new partnership with The Fractal Foundation brings excitement to Escuela as Dr. Jonathan Wolfe works with students and teachers to explore nature, math and art through the study of fractals. While the adults explore the development of curriculum materials, students at Escuela del Sol and those involved in various Harwood art programs will find many opportunities to create artistic and scientific masterpieces. Keep an eye out for more info on the 2011 Fractal Science Expo to be held in March at our Harwood Art Center!

Patrice Emrie and Eleanor MacNish well. With Jessie Rogers working as Communications Director for both the school and its art center, we are building strong outreach and a large base of support; I hope all of you will join us!

Together with The Harwood Art Center, Escuela del Sol is truly a unique and wonderful community.

There are still some spots in our Early Childhood program and in the Elementary School, so give us a call if you’re interested in a tour of the facilities and an explanation of our programs. Visit us online at www. escueladelsol.org; we look forward to meeting new folks and welcoming back our returning students and their families.

-Friedje vanGils

Additional changes will help our Escuela / Harwood programs grow as

Patrice Emrie and Eleanor MacNish are generous and energetic supporters of the Harwood. Eleanor first discovered us on a tour of Escuela for her daughter, Elizabeth. She fell so in love with our beautiful old building and the easy access to art for the Escuela students that she was sold on the school. She and Patrice became friends when they served on the New Mexico Committee for the National Museum of Women and the Arts. They feel they complement each other well, Eleanor is an artist, Patrice is an appreciator and patron, but they came to their love for art in very different ways.

Eleanor found school, especially math, difficult because of learning disabilities, but arts and creative writing gave her the confidence she needed to stick with it. Had she not had the exposure to creativity, she would have been really miserable.

For Patrice, math was a favorite subject, and she excelled in school. She got involved in art appreciation as a child. Her mother took her and her five siblings to museums on a regular basis.

She even took them to see Michelangelo’s David.

As an adult she had the opportunity to move to Italy in the early 90s. She was surrounded by art and found herself deeply moved. On a visit to the Louvre she noticed the lack of women artists and was appalled. She decided to do what she could to change that trend. The National Museum of Women and the Arts had just opened and worked to gain exposure for women artists. She now serves on the National Board.

Patrice sees her role as a creator of connections and community, through introductions, encouragement and facilitation. That’s why she feels so strongly about the Harwood. Our mission to create community is a comfortable fit with her goals.

Eleanor has remained as excited about us as she was on that first tour. Both work tirelessly to further the Harwood’s goals and donate generously to our 12x12 fundraiser (page 15).

Short Pose Figurative Painting in Oils

Intro to Jewelry

Michelle Chrisman

Leo Neufeld

This class will jolt your painting ability ahead faster than any other approach. Using large brushes and pre-mixed paint, you will rapidly lay in entire paintings in just 5 minutes! The basis of strong painting is designing beautiful shapes and quickly painting them in their correct values. You will paint from the clothed model, moving from 5 to 20 minute poses, building the entire composition in relation to the figure.

Michelle will help you improve your use of the medium of oil paint & teach you how to mix all values and colors with a limited palette. She will provide demos throughout the class as well as plenty of individual instruction.

Beginning with a simple sterling ring band, you will learn how to saw, size, file, form, and solder using an acetylene torch. Your second project will build on these techniques, plus involve the making of a bezel cup and setting a cabochon stone.

Through frequent demonstrations, students will learn to drill, pierce, rivet, chase, texture, oxidize, and polish/finish metal pieces. Students also study examples of contemporary and historical adornment. Projects will incorporate any or all of these newly learned processes through work with sterling and fine silver, copper, brass, and semi-precious stones. Emphasis will be placed on combining design and technique in order to create individualized wearable metal pieces…prepare to be adorned! Sign up early, class size is very limited!

Color Theory Cristina de los Santos A world without color is lifeless, as color is synonymous with life. In this exciting course we will prepare color mixtures and study the relationships between colors and form as well as spatial effects. We will understand objective principles and rules and also look at subjective associations.

Color will be approached from these three directions: Impression (visually), Expression (emotionally), and Construction (symbolically).

Through exercises and individual artistic exploration students will discover the phenomenon of color theory and be confident in applying these practices in their artwork.

All levels welcome.

The Harwood Art Center is seeking poetry for a book of essays and poetry scheduled for publication in the spring of 2011.

Using the metaphor of a garden for a community, How-to offers poets an opportunity to consider life, relationships and the development of community from start to sustainability, from individual to group.

The book will be divided into five sections: Getting Started; Bringing in the Elements; Building Relationships; Reaping What You Sow; Making it Last, and each chapter will lead off with essays depicting the garden’s development. Poems addressing the theme of individual chapters are welcome.

Who is Albert Rosales?

Albert Rosales, artist, muralist and breakdancer, first came through our door as a teenager ten years ago. He has shared his artistic talents by spray-painting large animals and portraits directly onto our gallery walls and by performing with his breakdance crew at our annual Escuela del Sol outdoor festivities. This summer Albert taught hip hop breakdance during our new Summer Art Camp mid-school program.

When Albert walks through the door he brings with him great energy. He’s a warm person with a philosophical bent, a lot of soul and an innate truth detector. And he has a lot to communicate. It is ironic that so much of the wisdom that Albert now teaches comes from the difficult teen years that he spent in and out of treatment facilities. He took those experiences and spun them in to something positive. His tool of choice? Art. While staying in various treatment facilities, Albert was an artist without means or materials to create. Luckily he met other kids who taught him to breakdance, which changed his life. The group developed a circle of creative exchange that became a saving grace for him, enabling him to express himself personally and physically.

Albert is a visual artist first, but he thinks that art alone would probably be too static for him. The interpersonal skills that working within a group demands - learning from and teaching others - are extremely dynamic and inspiring to him.

Albert’s goal is to continue to develop as an artist but always to work within a community. He has worked on numerous group murals. He has worked for the city creatively repainting designated dumpsters. And for the past couple of years he helped co-found HOPE - Hip Hop Offers Positive Expression. This program teaches breakdance to kids, within a context of positive interaction and expression.

Albert is a much loved community member, teacher, and friend.

EVeNts & CoMmuNity AutumnFest 2010

Carnuel Road Parade and Fiesta Join us for the 5th annual Carnuel Road Parade & Fiesta on Saturday, September 25th. Neighborhood groups, clubs, youth performances, arts and crafts vendors and non-profits will be out in force for this celebration of local pride and heritage focused on the historic Wells Park and Sawmill Neighborhoods.

Have you picked out a costume yet?

Better hurry – AutumnFest 2010 is around the corner! This annual event is a partnership between Harwood/ Escuela del Sol and the Wells Park Neighborhood Association that features live music, games and a super spooky haunted house. Its creepy fun the whole family will enjoy! So finish up the harvest, grab the kids and come on down! Don’t forget that costume.

Friday, October 29th 4 – 6:30 pm Wells Park Community Center (6th Street NW and Mountain Road).

The parade begins at 11am at ¡Explora!

(18th and Mountain Road) and ends at the Harwood Art Center (7th and Mountain) where the Fiesta begins at noon.

Show your community spirit and come celebrate with us! For free!

The Harwood partners with the Sawmill Community Land Trust, Wells Park Neighborhood Association, Sawmill Area Neighborhood Association, Sawmill Advisory Council and the Arbolera de Vida Association to organize the annual Carnuel Road Parade & Fiesta.

This event is a direct outgrowth of the Sawmill/Wells Park Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Plan in which local residents expressed a desire for an annual event aimed at showcasing the culture and history of these historic neighborhoods.

Want to get involved? If you are an organization, community group, arts & crafts vendor or interested resident that would like to participate in the event as a participant or planner, please contact Wade Patterson at wade@harwoodartcenter.org or call 242-6367 ext. 119.

Broccoli, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, lettuce, cabbage, onions, beans, peas – dare I go on?! These are the kinds of fantabulous goodies being cultivated this year at the Action Buzz Neighborhood Garden.

Located at 1255 8th Street NW and primarily serving the Wells Park and Sawmill neighborhoods, the Action Buzz Garden is in its 4th year of operation. An outgrowth of the Sawmill/Wells Park Metropolitan Redevelopment Area Plan (say that 10 times fast), the garden responds to residents’ desire for a local place to access water, sun and soil for cultivation. The Harwood and our gardeners are deeply indebted to the gardens’ land owner, Dory Wegrzyn, who allows us to use the space and has been a contributing force in organizing the project since its inception. Today, 21 rented plots are bursting with productivity and the quality of the bounty is impressive. Next year, we hope to be even bigger!

Basement Films Underground is an adjective that suits Basement Films. The word implies their renegade philosophy but it also happens to be the location of their studio home here at The Harwood…deep in our basement. These creative, community minded folks have been with us for the past nine years.

If you don’t know Basement Films, they describe themselves as “a non-profit whose mission is to support artists creating under-represented film and video, provide alternative cinematic experiences for the public, and facilitate community awareness and dialogue about experimental and under-represented cinema.”

They house a collection of over 700 small gauge films, the majority of which were donated by the Albquerque Public School System. Their screenings run the gamut from Fat Albert to Jacques Cousteau. They’re also known to re-mix, re-vision and re-animate footage into yet new cinematic experiences.

Basement Films is entirely run by a dedicated group of volunteers. Perhaps you know the three board members from their other community involvements. Keif Henley is the owner and operator of the small independent movie-house, Guild Cinema, in Nob Hill. The Guild shows an eclectic mix of films and is a well loved Albuquerque icon.

Bryan Konefsky teaches film and video courses through the Media Arts Department at UNM. He also facilitates the annual collaboration between the University and Basement Films called Experiments in Cinema, a festival of short films from around the world. Sarah Wentzel-Fisher is a multitalented artist who organizes many Basement Films’ screenings and has taken their show on the road. Sarah’s currently completing a Master’s degree in Community and Regional Planning.

If you’ve attended any of The Harwood’s openings and have seen hilarious loops of film projected on to our walls, or even out our windows, THAT is Basement Films.

We love having them here with us!

Javanese Gamelan Music with Jenny DeBouzek Gamelan, the entrancing gong-based music of Southeast Asia, has been described as evoking “moonlight on flowing water” – and we will experience much the same feeling of beauty and calm as we work together in this class. No musical experience is necessary, and all instruments (gongs, metallophones and drums) will be provided. Jenny DeBouzek is the Artistic Director of Gamelan Encantada, which has been performing traditional Javanese and contemporary American percussion music throughout the Southwest for almost 20 years. She also teaches Filipino kulintang gong music through the Albuquerque Asian Family Center.

This is a comedy workshop where scenes are “improvised”. They are scriptless, unrehearsed and spontaneous. The workshop focuses on creative skills, character development and comedic timing. Students will participate in a variety of creative exercises during the first half of each session, which will enable them to connect with other actors. Second half of each session will be devoted to scene work. Students will perform in a “live showcase” for their final class session. This is a great class for the amateur or aspiring actor.

Main: Krittika Ramanujan Ghost Puppets “Ghost Puppets,” an MFA Thesis show, uses prints and short hand-drawn films to look at the human conditions of loss, suffering, exile, death, memory and the past. The prints deal specifically with the subject of lynching in America.

Front: Mario Quilles This collection of ceramic sculpture reflects the colorful images and shapes of Mario Quilles’s Santa Fe surroundings. The works are influenced by cactus forms and succulent vegetation, abstract shapes that are pleasing to the eye yet forbidding and sensuous. The pieces are low-fire stoneware, which allows for a range of bright colors. Quilles uses handmade tools made from roots and branches he has found along the arroyos to hammer the clay. The pieces are never symmetrical, but reflect nature’s asymmetrical designs.

North and South: The Luna Project Harvest Eleven New Mexican women artists join together for their fourth show at The Harwood to share the harvest of a year’s bounty of art. This evolving community of artists works all year to glean a virtual garden of images and ideas. From the studio of each individual comes a singular vision that cross pollinates with the others to preserve the traditional or to form unexpected hybrids. This unified exhibit creates a synergy that is far greater than the sum of the individual works.

Share in this harvest of food for the spirit with Phyllis Benia Salazar, Pat Cohen, Ruth Cohen, Lauri Dickinson, Mary Dornacker, Nance Elsinger, Betsy Kuhn, Marta Light, Anna Mafchir, Joani Murphy, and Kris Thacher.

In her intricate acrylic paintings, Wood mixes characters and events from her own life to create ambiguous narratives—near-plausible scenes that evoke dreams, theatre, history paintings, illustrations, and altarpieces.

Sex: Gender and Transgression The Harwood’s first annual LGBTQ show will focus on gender: identity, construction, deconstruction and transgression, and will take place in conjunction with the Southwest Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (October 8-14). This year’s show is a juried exhibition based on an open call.

North: Tricia Bentley-Thorp Transient Moments Drawing a portrait is more than proper proportions and an accurate likeness. It is also the character of the person and the emotion that they reveal to us. These emotions are often fleeting, or linger momentarily. The glance or gesture - gone in an instant. Tricia Bentley-Thorp’s artwork strives to reveal and enhance these often elusive moments. A glance of pain or desperation, a gesture of quiet solitude or turmoil, a transient thought of self-reflection - expressed with a quick sketch or spontaneous line. The distortion of features, a thickened line, or even the coarseness of the paper may contribute to the expression of an emotion. Bentley-Thorp hopes these transient moments reveal to the viewer a part of themselves. Our shared emotions connect us to one another whether we reveal them or not.

South: Kate Mitchell Not In Her Wildest Dreams Featuring works on paper, canvas, and wood, as well as a photographic offering, where viewers can not only look but also take. The works are ruminations on the gaze and there is meant to be an interplay between the females rendered and the photographs displayed. The line between the viewer and the viewed is blurred, as are the photographs. These pretty things can be seen in the gallery on the walls and floors. While the media varies, the focus remains on the feminine.

Main: Sally Condon, Eleanor Trabaudo, J Mahaffey This show is a celebration of our art, our friendship, and a celebration of The Harwood’s 20th anniversary as an art center and community builder.

J Mahaffey was the first to rent a studio at The Harwood almost twenty years ago. She was among the original brave few who dared to occupy this almost abandoned building. She then encouraged Sally Condon to rent a space. The price was right. They became friends, shared lunches, and inspired each other’s artistic journey. Eleanor Trabaudo soon followed and enhanced the ever-growing eclectic community of artists. The Harwood has nurtured and created community to hundreds of artists over the years.

Front: Elise Deringer Wendte Mind/Matter Elise Deringer Wendte’s textiles and sculptures make structural references to containers, filters, and elements of landscape, heightened through utilization of additional materials such as sand, salt, and rocks. The work reflects a struggle to find a balance between holding on and letting go, documenting the artist’s efforts to find equilibrium.

Shows Run: February 4 - 24, 2011 Reception: Friday, February 4th, 6 pm – 8 pm in conjunction with Artscrawl’s First Fridays Gallery Hours: M-F 10 am - 4 pm, 3rd Friday (Feb 18th) evening 6 pm - 8 pm

Derrick Montez’s paintings incorporate two dimensional ying yang symbols into three dimensional settings to explore the concept of emotional/psychic balance.

Oscar Lozoya (Cuentos)’s work is inspired by the images conjured up by a variety of cuentos, or tales, ranging from bedtime stories to classic literature. For example, stories of La Llorona and El Cucui are used to warn children about being good. Curanderas, or healers, do in fact exist, but their powers are often expanded upon in the telling of tales.

Several years ago Augustine Romero read an article in USA Today that described a female Mexican Gray Wolf hit and killed by a car near Flagstaff while searching for a mate. He imagined her entrails scattered on the highway. This new series of sculptures, constructed of wood and bicycle tire tubes, loosely references the plight of the Mexican Gray Wolf.

Front: Elaine Roy Beyond the Surface Her abstract paintings are ventures into the unknown, searching for beauty in the mystery and the undefined. The work is mixed media using encaustic, oil, pigments, textiles, paper and wood. The illusion of depth and unexpected relationships are revealed through the superimposition of layers and attention to the surface and beyond. Elaine Roy creates imaginary environments in the abstract that are based on emotional rather than physical spaces.

North: Artstreet Sock Monkey Show… The Extended Version ArtStreet, a program of Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless, is a community-based project and collective open studio space where art is used as the connection for community-building for those without and those with homes.

Open Studio Hours - Thurs: 11-5; Fri: 11-4:30; 3rd Sat of each month 1-5

South: Artists ’Round Town Intimate Portraits of the Natural World Sometimes artists are the first to stop and notice the small thing, to take time to contemplate and record the details. We would like to share these moments with our community and hope to encourage the secret of noticing.
