from the director Dear Friends, The creation of our Summer Course and Events catalog is such a deep winter pleasure at the Lawrence Arts Center. We begin planning while “A Kansas Nutcracker” is on stage, continue as a new year begins, and anticipate what will capture your imagination when our catalog arrives in your mailboxes around spring break. In these pages, you will see what we have in store! More than ever, the Lawrence Arts Center is a hub for scholarship, art, education, and social service, and we celebrate these facets of our work in Performance, Exhibitions, and Visual and Performing Arts Education. In the past year, we’ve congratulated Arts-based Preschool Director Linda Reimond on winning the Henry Ford Innovative Teacher of the Year Award and Margaret Weisbrod Morris on her election to the National Arts Education Advisory Board of Americans for the Arts. With David Cateforis, Ben Ahlvers curated an acclaimed Albert Bloch retrospective and an award-winning catalog. Ric Averill directed his opera “Grotesque Arabesque: A Midnight Visit to the Grave of Poe,” a tremendous success. Our entire team continues to win acclaim for their passionate and excellent work in Performance, Exhibitions, and Arts Education. Your support makes it possible for us to take risks, to support artists, and to invite all children and families to engage with artists and art in all mediums. We need you! This Summer Catalog is full of fun and surprises and ways to be part of the action. Check out our website if you haven’t recently. You will find our annual report, news, calendars, blogs, staff introductions, how to enroll, donate, and more. I would love to see you at the Arts Center! PS. We are also introducing the all new, Lawrence Arts Center Kelly Galloway Kindergarten, one section opening Fall 2016. A dream come true– with appreciation to the Thomas D. Galloway Family.

HANG12 is a youth curatorial board made up of high school students who curate, produce, and install monthly gallery shows for Final Friday exhibitions. HANG12 aims to create shows that highlight viewpoints and ideas important to society within Lawrence. Each month members work with a local artist or organization to collaborate on the final product, gaining skills from professionals on the process of constructing and maintaining a gallery show.

HANG12 meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month from 3:30-6:00 pm at the Lawrence Arts Center. Every two months, they establish a show theme, create a call for submissions, move through the curatorial process, generate publicity, and solve the logistics of installing the show. HANG12 members work together to install the show in a local gallery space during the week of their Final Friday show opening. If you are seeking a venue to express yourself, a way to connect to other artists, or real life experience in the art world, then please join HANG12. Contact neal@lawrenceartscenter.org.

USD 497 Annual Art Exhibition April 29 – May 14 Reception April 29, 5-9pm

This exhibit features works from preschool students at the Lawrence Arts Center. Illuminating the roots of imagination through fearless creativity, this exhibit offers a rare and inspiring glimpse of the origin of ingenuity and inspiration. The Arts-Based Preschool curriculum allows students the opportunity to work with professional artists, actors, dancers, and musicians; attend performances; and create in the ceramics studio. Through rich and varied experiences with the arts in combination with a sound preschool education, creative confidence and innovative skills are clear in the work of these very young students.

The annual USD 497 Public School show features works selected by public school art teachers of K-12 students from across Lawrence. Showcasing a cross section of the diverse, excellent visual arts programing in Lawrence public schools, this exhibit spotlights the value of arts learning and the importance of fine arts programs in public education. Viewed consecutively after the Lawrence Arts Center Arts-based Preschool Exhibition, the exhibit is an enlightening window into the trajectory of artistic development and creative growth happening every day in Lawrence.

Current events, historical disasters, idealized landscapes, and a sly sense of humor can all be found in Maggy Rozycki Hiltner’s Vantage Point. The 278 square-foot hand-stitched installation was created for Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum’s Dr. Ruth Tan Lim Project Room, and incorporates Hiltner’s cast of Dick and Jane-style characters as well as found and artist-created imagery.

Brian J. Horsch has been creating hand built and thrown ceramic sculpture since 2008. He tends to focus on human and animal forms both real and unreal. He has a special affinity for farmers, ranchers, and indigenous Midwest critters.

Water: Photography by Diane Guthrie Fire: Solar Etching by Constance Ehrlich Earth: Ceramic Sculpture by Melissa McCormick Wind: Stained Glass by Shanna Wagner

Many of his pieces are functional with human or animal accents. Prior to his interest in clay, he was carving sculpture from various hardwoods. His ceramic pieces are variously fired by electric, gas, or wood at temperatures between 1900 and 2400 degrees. He lives close to nature near Stull, Kansas.

On the last Friday of every month, hundreds of people stream in and out of galleries, restaurants, bars and coffee shops in pursuit of art and music. March 25 April 29 May 27 June 24 July 29

June 24–July 23 Reception June 24, 5-9pm INSIGHT ArtTalk July 11, 7pm

This exhibit is concerned with how purposeful human actions, alongside uncontrollable factors of time and nature, alter both the current landscape and human agency within that landscape. Impermanent Lines is inspired by the landscapes, communities, development practices and environmental concerns prevalent throughout the Midwest, specifically those of Northeast Kansas.

Kneel down and peek around within this exhibition. Subtle differences in color reveal shifts in materials and a cacophony of textures. Stand on tiptoes to see what’s on top. Hyperawareness emerges as the delicately balanced terrain is navigated. Tiny details are alluring. Maybe you’ll return for another look.

Amanda Maciuba graduated from the University at Buffalo in 2009 with a degree in Visual Studies and a concentration in Print Media. She completed an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Iowa in 2015.

Christy earned an MFA from the University of Cincinnati. She has participated in residencies at the Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China and the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada.
