Dear Arts Center Friends, The three primary facets of our mission intersect every day. Artists teach, create, exhibit, and perform throughout the building, engaging everyone who comes through these doors in exhibitions, performance, and visual and performing arts education. It’s high-energy and fun, and we invite you to join us. This week: Visiting artist Luke DuBois (lukedubois.com) spoke to students and community audiences about the processes of creating his “Hindsight is Always 20/20,” an exhibition with new work he created for the Arts Center. The show opens possibilities for political and historical discussions about language and politics, and we chose it for this election season to be complemented by our production of Brecht and Weill’s The Threepenny Opera, a dark political satire with a happy ending. Ric Averill’s production and DuBois’s exhibition embody the potential of art to encourage conversation about what makes us human, what are our responsibilities to one another, and what words have to do with it all. Both “Hindsight is Always 20/20” and The Threepenny Opera demonstrate our commitment to employing artists, including visiting artists, and integrating exhibitions and performance with our mission in arts education. Dubois worked with arts center students, and our theater students worked as techies for Threepenny whose female lead graduated from our Summer Youth Theater program and is now an actress in Los Angeles. You’ll read this course and event catalog when new exhibitions are in the building and different performances are on the horizon, but the idea is the same. We are committed to engaging all people in arts education, live performance, and exhibitions in an artist-centered environment. We believe that investment in creative endeavors animates places and people, makes our conversations more interesting, raises children’s test scores and teaches empathy, improves livability and safety, enhances the economy, brings diverse people together, and makes every place a much better place to live.

visiting artist workshop S olarplate E tching W I T H D an W elden Dan Welden is a printmaker/painter, art educator, inventor, and author. After receiving his M.A., he studied at the Akademie der Bildenden Kunst in Munich under Kurt Lohwasser. A veteran of over 70 solo exhibitions, he is known primarily for his hybrid works on paper involving combinations of print, paint and drawing techniques. www.danwelden.com He has directed a summer program in Florence Italy for 10 years, also offering workshops in Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Greece, Corsica, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Scotland and Switzerland. As a master printmaker he has collaborated and/or printed with many artists including Willem de Kooning, Dan Flavin, David Salle, Eric Fischl, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, Jasper Johns, Robert Motherwell among others. Welden co-authored with Pauline Muir “Printmaking in the Sun” and received a Vogelstein Grant for the production of the film with the same title. Dan Welden is credited with being one of the original pioneers of “Safer and Alternative Ways of Printmaking.” Solarplate etching, which was developed by master printmaker Dan Welden, utilizes UV light and water instead of traditional grounds and acids. T he Solarplate is the original light-sensitized polymer printing plate that yields diverse effects from a variety of images. After creating drawings and paintings on acetate, and/or digital photographs on transparent film they are processed and transferred to the Solarplate. Artists may also choose to paint directly on the Solarplate. Either way will create a matrix capable of yielding many impressions. Participants will produce several 8x10 inch images during this workshop. Printmaking experience is not required. Friday, February 1, 5pm-7pm Dan will demonstrate the Solarplate process on Friday Evening. This will be the introductory part of the workshop which enrolled participants are required to attend.

performances A Kansas Nutcracker with the Free State Liberation Orchestra featuring members of the Uptown Mandolin Quartet artistic direction and choreography by Deb Bettinger script and stage direction by Ric Averill orchestration and conducting by Jeff Dearinger Tickets available online & at the box ofice!

The Arts Center has re-cast the beloved Christmas ballet and set it in 1861, Kansas’ first year of statehood. More than 130 dancers and actors, from students to professionals, and a 13-piece orchestra featuring a mandolin quartet weave together Kansas’ abolition, suffrage and temperance politics with oversized personalities, unpredictable weather, plains landscape and the Civil War into Clara’s surreal ballet dreams. The intensity of the politics of the time paved the way for Quantrill’s Raid just two years later.

CLARA’S TEA PARTIES December 9, 15 &16 | 12:30pm Don’t miss this magical tea party experience! Meet Clara and the Snow Queen and other the characters from A Kansas Nutcracker, while learning background information on the original Nutcracker and the history behind the Kansas version.

Archie Scott Gobber

Lisa Lala

Kent Michael Smith

Ben Ahlvers

Archie is a painter currently living and working in Kansas City. He is best known for eye-catching imagery that employs clever wordplay as a vehicle for commentary on social topics. Gobber has exhibited his work throughout the country, has been collected in numerous collections, and has received several awards for his art. www.archiescottgobber.com

Known for her luscious, expressive oil paintings on glass and canvas, Lisa Lala became well known for her Birds on a Wire series. Other series include the Hill series, Ferris Wheel series, the List series, and most recently the Scribble/Tangle series, all which often include her doodles, drawings and stream-of-conscious writings sketched into the paint with a carpenter’s pencil. Lala attended the University of Kansas where she received a BFA. Subsequently she studied under New York painter Wolf Kahn, Slovenian painter Tjasa Demsar (in France), and abstract painter Philomene Bennett in Kansas City. With over ten sell-out shows since her launch in 2003, Lala’s work is now in many notable public, private and museum collections. Lala is represented by galleries in four cities: Atlanta, Kansas City, LA/Laguna Beach, and her hometown Manhattan, KS.

His work was recently featured in New American Paintings. www.kentmichaelsmith.com

Recently featured in Ceramics Monthly magazine, Ben is known for creating whimsical ceramic figures that contain a vein of wit and humor, with an undertone of deviousness and mystery. The narratives in his work are rooted in his experiences as a father and simultaneously touch on relationships and experiences beyond this role. Ben studied at Southern University Edwardsville and received his MFA at Ohio University. He actively exhibits his work which can be found in numerous collections around the country. www.benahlvers.com
