WELCOME TO

art&culture

fromtheceo

Before we rush into an exceptionally busy schedule of events, exhibitions and services to the community in 2016, it’s worthwhile for all of us at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County to take a moment to reflect on the year just ended. If I could sum up my feelings about 2015 in a single word, it would be “gratitude.”

Why gratitude? It’s simple, really. Our organization benefitted from several examples of exceptional forward thinking by both the public and private sectors during the year – and we would be remiss if we did not feel grateful for the results.

On the public front, the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners and the Tourist Development Council increased their investment in the work of the Cultural Council by more than $1 million annually. This significant commitment of such a substantial amount of money suggests that the Commissioners and the TDC are confident in our abilities to serve our community – both as a grant-maker and as an advocate for cultural tourism. We have already put these funds to good use in ways that will generate numerous positive results.

On the private side of the equation, we continue to benefit from the generosity of many philanthropists who believe in the importance of our work and show their support through financial contributions. The investments they make are exceptionally meaningful because they allow us to stretch the boundaries of what we can do to serve the community.

To cite just one example, artist Dina Baker established a fund within the Council during this past year that will

benefit women artists over the age of 55. As a long-time artist herself, Baker recognizes the challenges faced by many of her peers. The Dina Baker Fund for Mature Female Artists will provide a $10,000 award to an artist who will be able to use the funds for professional development, arts-related exhibition expenses, equipment, supplies and even healthcare costs and/or basic living expenses.

What’s more, Baker has told us that she has included the Cultural Council in her estate plan to ensure that her support of women artists will continue in perpetuity. We are exceptionally grateful to this wonderful woman for her foresight and generosity.

As we begin 2016, we’re preparing for our annual Muse Awards event, which recognizes individuals and organizations that truly stand out in the cultural community. We are grateful to Roe Green and Christine Stiller for serving as co-chairs of the Muse Awards. We know that, with their leadership, we can look forward to another spectacular Muse Awards celebration on March 31.

We recognize that the gratitude we feel is shared by countless other nonprofit cultural organizations and institutions that benefit from the philanthropists in our community. Many of these organizations also receive public-sector support for their missions through our grants programs, for which they are also grateful.

To everyone who supports the mission of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, we wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. We are grateful to each and every one of you.

AND MANY MORE

Ten years ago, I had the privilege of working with Rena Blades, the president and CEO of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, to create a publication that would showcase the amazing talent, creative energy, artistic achievement and philanthropic commitment that makes our community so special. art&culture Magazine of Palm Beach County was born!

Over the past 10 years, we have been proud to share the stories of intriguing and innovative people, places and happenings in our community. Moving forward, I know we’re not going to the least little bit of trouble filling the pages of this award-winning publication. In the years ahead, Palm Beach County’s cultural landscape is going to be changing in new and exciting ways – as you’ll see in our feature story “10” on page 42.

from

One promising new idea is already making an impact.

Read about it in “Cultural Concierge Welcomes New Possibilities,” on page 62.

In “From There to Here,” on page 54, regular a&c contributor Amy Woods will introduce you to The Art of Dr. Seuss – and shine a light on new relationships that are strengthening the cultural community. On page 36, you’ll meet Delray Beach dancer and educator Maryann Payne, the subject of our Portrait.

From dinosaurs (on page 24) to dogs (in our Most Wanted column on page 33), you could say that this issue of art&culture is full of life! You’ll also find an

abundance of color – including the gratifyingly green lettuce ware produced by Jupiter resident Dodie Thayer, the subject of “The Pioneering Potter”on page 58.

The Warhol canvases that usually fill the home of Boca Raton collector Marc Bell with color are currently on exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which is also hosting the first museum showing of Bob Colacello’s candid photographs of Warhol and his friends. Scott Eyman spoke with Colacello, one of Warhol’s closest associates, for the story “Factory Man” on page 48.

Colacello will be at the museum for an event in January. Patti LaBelle will be at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach in February. Joshua Bell is coming to The Palm Beaches in March. In fact, approximately two million people – including countless artists and entertainers – visit Palm Beach County each year. That means some 20 million guests have been drawn to our concert halls, theaters, museums and galleries as well as our beaches and boutiques since the first issue of art&culture hit the stands.

Whether you’re enjoying all that The Palm Beaches have to offer for a few days or for a lifetime, I invite you to turn to page 67, where you’ll find our annual cultural guide, a handy reference to the county’s attractions ranging from restaurants and resorts to nature centers and family activities, festivals and fine art.

Enjoy!

Once again, in the annual U.S.News & World Report survey on America’s Best Hospitals, ophthalmologists from around the country ranked Bascom Palmer Eye Institute the best eye hospital in the United States. This honor is a great testimony to our experience and technology. More importantly, if any member of their families needed a procedure, the best eye doctors in the world would tell them to travel long distances to get here. And that makes you very lucky.

Because you don’t have to.

{contributors} art&culture’s managing editor, Christina Wood, is not afraid to get her hands dirty in pursuit of a good story. Although you’re more likely to find her at the theater, enjoying a concert or happily wandering through a museum, the award-winning freelance writer and editor has been known to roll up her sleeves (and, on occasion, her pant legs) to wade through swamps, explore the world of animal behavior or go head-to-head with military leaders.

Before launching her freelance career, Amy Woods worked as the society editor of Palm 2 Jupiter and as the editor of Notables at The Palm Beach Post.

An experienced editor, columnist, writer and reporter, Amy’s goal is to use her experience as a journalist and skills in public relations for the benefit of our local nonprofit community.

Jacek Gancarz is a freelance and fine art photographer based in South Florida.

Plucked from the confines of the Iron Curtain at an early age, he found himself in the U.S. poring over the pages of National Geographic and Life magazines, which fueled his passion for photography. At age 12, he received a camera from his father and his passion began. Many travels – and a B.S. from Florida Atlantic University – later, he went to work as a photojournalist, spending seven years with the Palm Beach Daily News.

Thomas Swick was the travel editor of the Sun Sentinel from 1989 to 2008.

He is the author of A Way to See the World and Unquiet Days: At Home in Poland. His work has been included in The Best American Travel Writing 2001, 2002, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2014.

Scott Eyman was the books editor of The Palm Beach Post for 25 years. His 13th book, John Wayne: Life and Legend, is a New York Times best seller. He lives in West Palm Beach with his wife, Lynn, and a varied assortment of animals.

N ila Do Simon has interviewed a range of subjects – from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger to Olympian Dara Torres – for publications such as the New York Times, Miami Magazine, Venice magazine, TravelAge West, Boston magazine and Gold Coast. She has won a Florida Magazine Association award for Best Feature Writing. A graduate of the University of Florida’s journalism college, she’s a native Floridian.

Lucy Lazarony is a freelance writer and journalist living in South Florida. In addition to art&culture, her articles on the arts appear in Art Hive Magazine, the Palm Beach ArtsPaper and The Coastal Star.

TIME FLIES Twenty years ago, the Center for Creative Education was created to strengthen the presence of the arts in local classrooms. Like many twentysomethings, the innovative arts integration organization is spreading its wings. Based in a former roller skating rink in West Palm Beach’s funky N orthwood Village, CCE recently welcomed three new staff members and hosted its first in-house curated art exhibition in a newly renovated gallery. More is on the way: a schedule of proposed exhibitions now stretches well into 2017.

Joshua Bell

INDIANA JONES AND THE FABULOUS FESTIVAL What do violin superstar Joshua Bell, trumpet legend Herb Alpert and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria have in common with Raiders of the Lost Ark? All of them can be seen at Festival of the Arts BOCA, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

While Indiana Jones battles bad guys on the big screen, a live orchestra will perform John Williams’ epic score as the festival opens on March 4. Bell, appearing as both the featured soloist and conductor of the Lynn Philharmonia in a performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, will bring the celebration of art and ideas to a rousing close on March 16. In between, a robust lineup of performers, thinkers and authors – ranging from author Laila Lalami to Cirque de la Symphonie – will take the stage at either the Mizner Park Amphitheater or Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center.

The Boynton Beach Art District is celebrating five years of arts programming, community outreach, concerts, open mic nights, exhibitions and attitude. In addition to its signature annual event, the multimedia KeroWACKED festival, the alternative contemporary art scene offers monthly art walks on the fourth Thursday of every month.

LET’S MEET BETWEEN THE COVERS Palm Beach County is awash in love, despair and revenge – and for that, we can thank the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County, which has selected Chris Bohjalian’s The Light in the Ruins for its 2016 Read Together campaign. Set against an exquisitely rendered Italian countryside, the book is a story of moral paradox, human frailty and the mysterious ways of the heart. It’s also a darn good mystery.

People are already talking – about the book, about the discounts available on it and about the many Read Together events taking shape all across the community. The campaign will culminate in April, when Bohjalian, the N ew York Times bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls, comes to town to tell tales.

FINE FEATHERED FIENDS

Alexander W. Dreyfoos is an award-winning inventor and philanthropist whose love of technology and the arts will come together on March 9, when the Raymond F. Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach debuts an astounding digital organ. The instrument – which boasts five keyboards, 96 audio channels and more than 200 stops – is the first of its kind to be installed in a performing arts venue anywhere in the world.

Robert DePalma, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Palm Beach Museum of Natural History, has been to Hell and back. Hell Creek, that is. It’s a fossil-rich region spanning parts of South Dakota, N orth Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. The trip was worth it. DePalma led a team of paleontologists that discovered a new species of dinosaur – a large, lethal predator dubbed Dakotaraptor.

The 17-foot long raptor, which could reach speeds of 30 to 40 miles per hour in its pursuit of prey, wielded its vicious claws 66 million years ago. The freakishly feathered find was announced in a study published this fall by the University of Kansas Paleontological Institute.

The $1.5 million Opus 11 organ, which is being financed by Dreyfoos and crafted by Marshall & Ogletree, of Needham, Mass., will be introduced in a concert featuring internationally acclaimed organist Cameron Carpenter, who will perform with the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. The 34-year old, Julliard-trained virtuoso has been both praised and criticized for his unorthodox interpretations of the organ as well as for his advocacy of the digital organ.

Following its historic debut, the groundbreaking organ will be available not only for Kravis Center performances but also for serious musicians, students and teachers within the community.

AN EARTH-SHAKING EXHIBIT More than a dozen dinosaurs are shaking things up at the South Florida Science Center & Aquarium in West Palm Beach. Dinosaurs Around the World: The Exhibition, on display through April 16, invites guests to travel back to an age when dinosaurs ruled the planet. A global adventure stretching from the inland seas of N orth America to the arid deserts of Brazil and on to the once-tropical beaches of Antarctica, the exhibit features 13 life-sized roaring animatronic dinosaurs as well as fossils, cutting-edge research and immersive design elements to paint a vivid picture about the prehistoric planet and its early inhabitants.

THEN NOW AND

As opposed to the artists of the late-19th century who celebrated lives lived on a grand stage, Njideka Akunyili Crosby puts the emphasis on figures in intimate familial and domestic settings. In large-scale works that comprise both painting and collage, the African-born artist creates compositions that appear as views into everyday life. Look again. On closer observation, her works are careful constructions that are subtly subversive.

According to Foreign Policy magazine, which named the Los Angeles-based artist to its 2015 list of the top 100 leading global thinkers, “For Akunyili Crosby, mixing forms and merging styles is about bridging the complexities of the old world and the new, between her native home in N igeria and her adopted one in the United States.” The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach is organizing the first survey of her work. Njideka Akunyili Crosby: I Refuse to be Invisible will be on display Jan. 28 through April 24.

The Gilded Age respected individualism and wealth.

Not surprisingly, the era also saw a high premium placed on portraiture. In the late 19th century, a brilliant generation of American and European artists – including John Singer Sargent and Gilbert Stuart – rose to meet the demand. Fifty-three of the stunning portraits they created, all of them depicting prominent N ew Yorkers of the day, are featured in Beauty’s Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in America, on display at the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach from Jan. 26 through April 17.

Looking for information on the exhibits, events and excitement brewing at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s headquarters at 601 Lake Ave. in Lake Worth?

We’ve got it!

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS SHOWCASE PALM BEACH COUNTY TALENT Woman: Untitled: January 15 through March 12 The curve and grace of the female form has attracted artists for millennia. In this exhibition, the female form is portrayed as a subject, an object – but also as a warrior, a force and a responsive presence. The show, which is curated

by Sibel Kocabasi, Raheleh Filsoofi and the Cultural Council’s manager of artist services, N ichole M. Hickey, will feature live performances as well as two-dimensional and three-dimensional works.

WITH THE BAND CCR may not be making music any longer but CCH – the Cultural Council House Band – is cranking out some powerful tunes on open mic night, typically held on the third Friday of the month. The talented crew of veteran area musicians includes Bill Meredith (drums, vocals and percussion), Ginny Meredith (violin, vocals and percussion), Harold Peeno (bass), Kyle Thought Holder (vocals), Steve Trezise (guitar) and various guest singers. “They play everything from Amy Winehouse to Aretha Franklin and do incredible improvisations with the open mic performers,” says Marlon Foster, visitor services and music coordinator for the Cultural Council, who brought the group together. “Our community is home to some amazing musical talent. It’s great to be able to shine a light on it!”

WELCOME RECOGNITION

Flora Zolin, from the Transgender Series

The Art of the Motorcycle: March 25 through May 21 From the Harley to the Triumph, the motorcycle is seen as a symbol of freedom and expression. In Palm Beach County, customized two-wheeled works of art elevate bikes above the conventional with fluid lines, pin striping, flashes of chrome and sculpture-like parts. This exhibition will showcase the artists who capture the power and grace of these machines as well as the skilled technicians who transform them into works of art.

MOST WANTED: AN HOMAGE TO OUR BEST FRIEND

Like so many of you, art&culture loves dogs. Large and small, short-haired or shaggy, house-trained, born to be wild, sculpted, painted or crafted in prose, no matter what the breed or medium, there’s something about a wet nose and a wagging tail that’s hard to resist. Of course, the dogs you’ll find UP AGAINST THE WALL Case, aka Andreas von Chrzanowski, a founding member of the renowned East German Ma’Claim Crew, used the medium of spray paint to open a door to the arts in West Palm Beach. The worldly street artist, known for his photo-realistic style, recently created a mural featuring a curious canine on the side of the Tin Fish building on Clematis Street as part of the city’s inaugural CANVAS Outdoor Museum Show. Joseph D. Myers also created a mural featuring a dog, in this case a fierce hound. Myers’ “Settler Fighting Alligator from Rowboat” (oil on canvas) was completed in 1946 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal art program and can still be seen on the lobby wall of the Lake Worth post office on Lucerne Avenue.

romping through Palm Beach County’s cultural landscape will always be a breed apart.

Here are a few of our favorites.

SOCIAL ANIMALS A compact pack of four bush dogs is ruff-ing at the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation Society in West Palm Beach. A rare canine species from South and Central America that is active during the day, bush dogs are about the size of a terrier (11-18 pounds).

Don’t underestimate them just because they have short legs. Bush dogs are highly social; adept at using vocalizations to communicate, they work together effectively to hunt relatively larger prey. They even have a secret weapon – webbed feet – that lets them pursue their quarry into the water.

IMAGINATIONS UNLEASHED Old Yeller, Marley and Clifford the Big Red Dog are among the countless canine heroes who have found a home at the Gioconda and Joseph King Library at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach. The popular books they romp through – written by Ted Gipson, Josh Grogan and Norman Bridwell, respectively – are among the 75,000 titles and periodicals in the library’s collection. You can find shelves overflowing with DVDs and CDs, too, and the library’s rare book room features a number of notable collections, including the personal library of famed Palm Beach architect Addison Mizner.

Oh, the drama

By Christina Wood

art rt works!

Here’s some simple yet effective advice for students struggling with algebra or biology homework: brush up your Shakespeare! Research has shown that performing the Bard’s work helps students gain a better understanding of complex texts – including science and math material.

Not surprisingly, Shakespeare figures in the school curriculum at GStar School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, which specializes in film, animation and performing arts. Over the winter break, Acting I students were asked to develop a character study from one of the playwright’s most famous works. In the past, Alex Sherman, a teacher in the school’s theater department, says, they’ve tackled the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet in class. “It’s always fun to watch because, in the beginning, the kids have no idea what they’re saying. As they hear it more and more, they start picking up,” he says. “That really helps them increase their analytical thinking.”

Children don’t have to aspire to be actors, though, and they certainly don’t have to confine their creative adventures to the words of Shakespeare, to benefit from theater education. The buzz of activity surrounding a school play offers opportunities for stage hands, lighting technicians, costume designers and a host of others to shine as brightly behind the scenes as the stars on stage do.

Theater education, on-stage and off, can boost self-esteem, build confidence and enhance public speaking – but that’s just the beginning.

Research has shown that a little bit of drama can go a long way when it comes to gains in reading proficiency, motivation, social skills, understanding and compassion.

Those who enter the world of the stage gain acceptance and discover a sense of belonging. They know they are part of something larger than themselves. Students not only benefit from the shared experience, they share the experiences of the characters they bring to life.

Reams of data provide compelling evidence that studying or participating in the fine arts – including theater – also improves academic performance.

The arts have the power to reduce dropout rates, increase attendance and develop a spirit of cooperation, in addition to fostering the kind of creative thinking that employers are looking for in the 21st-century workforce.

Whether learning how to make a show-stopping entrance on stage or how to give an actor a working door through which to make that entrance, Sherman believes theater education also provides students with an opportunity to work out typical teenage frustrations. Episodes of violence or disruption are rare at G-Star, he says. “In incidences of bullying or belittling, when people are being rude or mean to someone, I’ve personally witnessed other students – who may not even know [the victim] – step in,” he says.

Simply attending a theatrical performance has proven benefits, too.

According to a study released by the University of Arkansas in 2014, students who attended live performances of Hamlet and A Christmas Carol had a greater increase in knowledge than those who read or saw movie versions of the plays. Attending the live performance also enabled students to better recognize and appreciate what other people think and feel, contributing to a measurable increase in tolerance and empathy.

As Shakespeare himself said, “The play’s the thing.”

DANCE lessons A

professional dancer and the star of the recently released short film Brown Ballerina, Payne is bringing a message of hope and encouragement to students at the Milagro Center in Delray Beach.

Like the character she plays in the film, who met with prejudice at every turn, Payne was often one of the only dancers of color in a studio when she was studying dance, especially in high school. Challenges abounded, even in simple things like finding tights that matched her skin tone. Her body differed from others in the classroom.

Instead of trapping her, those painful experiences emboldened the Delray Beach resident. With time, she learned to transform obstacles into motivation and strength, allowing her to launch a successful career. “In my life, those issues encouraged me to prove I’m capable no matter what my skin color is,” she says. “I do this because I love it. I want to encourage others to feel that too.”

Nicole Escalera, the cultural arts director at the Milagro Center, a nonprofit arts-integrated educational and cultural-arts facility that serves children from some of the area’s most disadvantaged populations, says Payne is swiftly achiev-

ing this goal. “She’s so involved with the community here. She’s always on; she’s truly excited about what she does and that serves as motivation for the children,” she says. “I don’t think many kids know someone like that.

Most of them are not exposed to dance or the arts.”

A lithe and powerful dancer, Payne trained at Lulu Washington Dance Theatre in her native Los Angeles as well as Boynton Beach’s Southern Dance Theatre before attending Dreyfoos School of the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach and the N ew World School of the Arts in Miami Beach. The recipient of a scholarship to the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive Program, she also trained at the iconic Dance Theatre of Harlem, an experience that helped dispel any lingering doubts she may have had about her own abilities.

Today, she is a majestic presence on stage and screen, patient in the face of prejudice. She performs with the traveling 6 o’Clock Dance Theater, based in Miami, and has been a featured dancer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

According to Escalera, Payne infuses her students with self-esteem and encourages them to come out of their shells. “I have seen timid kids breaking out into a routine she taught them on the side-

a&c Winter 2016_Portrait_Maryann Payne_Tourism.qxp_Layout 1 1/19/16 2:40 PM Page 39

walk to show me how hard they are working,” she says. “Around her, they walk taller and work harder.”

Harnessing her artistic passion along with her innate interpersonal skills, Payne seems determined to combat the exclusivity of the ballet world and the kind of negative feedback she received as a student. “I remember in school, one guest choreographer asked our teacher if my partner would struggle with my body type – my hips, my thighs. It made me insecure about my body. I pushed myself for a while and I restricted my diet.”

She wants students – of any and every color – to find the joy she has known in dance. “I tell my dancers, you have to be comfortable in your own skin. Don’t try to please someone else,” she says. “Focus on the dancing.”

Payne also wants educators and artists to understand the impact of their work and words. “There’s beauty in many different things,” she says simply.

Eventually, Payne, who also teaches at the George Washington Carver Middle School in Coral Gables, hopes to audition for Broadway. For now, she’s invigorated by her students and the dynamic arts scene in Palm Beach County.

“The dance community here is growing steadily,” she says. “The mix of different genres and artists adds to the color of the scene here. I love reaching out to the community, teaching about and with brown dancers – and the collaboration that follows. That aspect of our South Florida community is unique and hard to find elsewhere.”

Maltz Jupiter Theatre

When Bert Korman moved to Palm Beach County from Philadelphia 25 years ago, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach had yet to open its doors, Delray Beach’s Old School Square was just one old school and Boca Ballet Theatre was preparing to raise the curtain on its first season of performances.

“Now,” the chairman of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s Board of Directors says, “it’s become Florida’s Cultural Capital. Now, it’s a place with strong organizations and effective leadership.” And that, he says, is the key to attracting new businesses, empowering area students and fueling the economic engine of tourism. Korman also believes that cultural opportunities are essential to personal development. “When I was young, I was always going to museums. Even though I’m not an artist, it taught me to think. It taught me to interpret what I saw and how it made me feel.”

Palm Beach County and its cultural institutions have come far since the days when private homes and one-room museums were the norm, morphing into a powerful magnet for tourists and businesses alike with enlightened and enlightening attractions.

When the first issue of art&culture went to print, The Full Monty, Neil Sedaka and Michael Feinstein were season headliners at the Kravis Center. Ten short years ago, Palm Beach Dramaworks was staging shows in an 84-seat black box; today, the organization regularly fills the 218 seats in the beautifully renovated theater it now calls home. Since 2006, the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium has doubled in size and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Jupiter has tripled its attendance.

As bright as the picture is today, 10 years from now, it will be even brighter. A cultural revolution is on the horizon. According to a cultural assessment recently conducted by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, more than $700 million in capital expansion projects is expected in the next ten years alone. According to Americans for the Arts, every one of those dollars will yield a $6 to $9 return.

“There is a project in every sector of the county,” says Rena Blades, the Cultural Council’s president and CEO, noting that audience numbers across the county increased 10 percent between 2013 and 2014, with 3.3 million people visiting local cultural institutions in 2014. “One wonders what that 3.3 million people will turn into in 10 years.”

The possibilities are breathtaking.

“What makes us different than any other place in the world is the sophistication of our intuitions,” Blades says. “What we’re about here is a high level of quality in the arts – and we’ve been that way for the past 100 years, starting with Henry Flagler.”

“I believe that cultural institutions and visual-art institutions are the lifeblood in our community,” says Hope Alswang, executive director and CEO of the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. “We are going to have a much enlarged, richer, deeper tapestry of cultural institutions in this community that will rival any mid sized city. We have a state that is expanding exponentially and we have to keep pace with it. Standing still means that we’ll be less important, and we won’t settle for that.”

The Norton is in the midst of a $60 million capital campaign pegged to improve the visitor experience. In store is a 12,000-square-foot increase in gallery space, a new state-of-the-art auditorium, dining pavilion and 9,000-square-foot sculpture garden that will include an area where movies, evening performances and various activities can be enjoyed. The Norton tapped architecture firm Foster + Partners, under the direction of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord Norman Foster, to lead its renovation.

When the museum opens its renovated doors at the end of 2018, Alswang believes most people won’t recognize it. As she puts it, the expansion “will allow us to continue the story of art history.”

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium

All Aboard Lew Crampton, who began his tenure as CEO and president of the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium five years ago, has seen the center double in size thanks to a $7 million renovation. Crampton pushed to provide makerspaces and add new programs focused on robotics and computer programming. “The motivation behind this is to not have the Science Center become a place where people come and look at science,” he says. “We’re a place where people come to do science.”

Currently, Crampton says the Science Center serves a community of approximately two million people, stretching from northern Broward to as far north as Martin County. That number is expected to skyrocket beginning in 2017, when the Brightline passenger train will bring passengers from across the state into the West Palm Beach station.

More projects, prospects and ideas are in the works to engage that growing audience. Up next is a plan to expand the museum campus to eight acres, which will allow for a new multipurpose center for robotics and computer coding, a full kitchen for healthy-eating tutorials, additional space for lectures and demonstrations and a quarter-mile-long nature trail that will wind through the property. With each addition will come new opportunities for summer camps and educational programs.

“Edu-tainment is a phrase I use a lot to describe us,” Crampton says.

“We want our institution to deliver on both education and entertainment.

You do want to educate and inform folks, but you have to do it in a way that picks them up from where they are and brings them along with you.”

Shining the Light President and CEO of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum Jamie Stuve says, “We want an emphasis on experiential learning. We want to somehow find a way to directly connect people to history and nature.”

Visitors have been climbing the 105 winding steps to the top of the lighthouse since 1860 but the need to make the lighthouse center relevant today and in the future isn’t lost on Stuve. “When you’re up at the lighthouse at night when the light is working, you are a changed person,” she says. “It’s so meaningful to see these visitors become stewards to protect not just our lighthouse and its history, but also all the lighthouses in Florida.”

With its historic hikes around the property and inside the lighthouse, kayak tours around the two rivers and even weekly yoga classes, the lighthouse center is where history and contemporary ideals collide. With a mission to preserve the lighthouse and the 120 acres surrounding it, as well as engage the community to become stewards of history, some of the institution’s largest expansion plans are on the horizon. On tap is building a replica of one of the first U.S. Weather Bureau stations, which will serve as a science center devoted to the weather. Scheduled for completion in three to four years, the weather station will even include a widow’s walk for observation purposes.

Getting Down to Business With all the developments in store for Palm Beach County’s cultural community, it’s easy to imagine a colorful and entertaining future 10 years from now – and, hopefully, you’ll be reading all about it in art&culture.

Whatever innovative, educational, entertaining and artistic developments the future holds, however, Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia C. Baker believes that the community’s cultural institutions will be playing a vital role in the area’s economy.

“Palm Beach County’s growth has been inextricably linked with the development of its cultural organizations,” Baker says. “Our future economic growth and prosperity will also be linked. If we want to continue to encourage businesses to relocate or expand in our county, if we want to provide empowering educational opportunities for our students, continue to attract tourists and maintain our quality of life, we must support the arts and culture in our community in a meaningful way.”

Keeping up with Andy Warhol could be exhausting. According to Bob Colacello, who wrote the “Out” column for Warhol’s

Interview magazine and was one of the artist’s closest associates, he was out on the town six nights out of seven.

Warhol undoubtedly enjoyed the nightlife but much of his nocturnal activity actually derived from his dead-level intent on creating what marketing gurus refer to as a brand.

“Warhol wanted to be famous. He came out of advertising. He understood that you have to have an image and you have to promote that image,” says Kathy Goncharov, the curator of Contemporary Art at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which is hosting a trio of Warhol exhibits this season. Among them is the first museum showing of Colacello’s candid photographs of Warhol and friends.

Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy – which opens on Jan. 26 and runs through May 1, along with Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, 1949-1987 and Warhol Prints from the Collection of Marc Bell – provides granular documentation of Warhol’s fixation on fame.

“It was easier for my column to take my own pictures,” Colacello says. “I didn’t look like a photographer, so people didn’t freeze up or pose. Andy took a hundred pictures to every ten that I took. The more people he saw, the more chance he had of selling a painting. It was relentless and it was work. Andy was driven. His ambition was limitless and so was his curiosity.”

The photographs, which were taken with a diminutive Minox on 35mm film, reveal that Warhol’s world was oddly egalitarian given the artist’s preoccupation with celebrity. It didn’t matter whether he was hobnobbing with Mick Jagger, a ’40s movie queen like Paulette Goddard or one of the Warhol superstars who simply strove to imitate ’40s movie queens. They were all equal in Warhol’s eyes. He understood that Elvis and Marilyn and a host of other celebrities had ascended to the realm of secular saints – objects of worship.

“The common denominator was glamour. To Andy, everybody was interesting and it followed that he tried to convince himself that everyone

was beautiful,” Colacello says. “I think that in his childish way, he asked the big questions.”

Colacello never saw Warhol without the incongruous white wig that made him look like a downtown version of Ray Bolger’s straw-stuffed Scarecrow. Once or twice they were in a car when the wind would lift the wig off Warhol’s head and Colacello saw the bobby pins that fastened it to Warhol’s ring of black hair.

Now that Warhol is comfortably ensconced in the hierarchy of 20thcentury art, it’s more important than ever to emphasize his status as an outsider in his own time. He was influenced by Duchamps and by overtly gay artists such as Jean Cocteau and Andre Gide, who were never completely accepted by the Academy. He had a highly developed sense of irony and an appreciation of camp, in direct opposition to the art world of the 1950s, which was mired in abstract expressionism and tended toward the straight.

Marc Bell, whose collection of Warhol’s silkscreen suites is also on display at the museum, is an engineer by training, an entrepreneur by inclination. He didn’t start out collecting Warhol, but rather M.C. Escher. When he was in high school, he had a print of Escher’s mind-bending staircase above his desk. When the original came up for auction 20 years later, he couldn’t resist. That initial Escher led to dozens more in the artist’s trademark monochromatic style. Eventually, all the gray began to get to Bell.

Some color was needed, which led him to Warhol – and a realization.

Escher gave him a sense of wonder but Warhol, he says, “put a smile on my face.”

Today, color is not a problem for Bell. His house is decorated in Warhol. The collection has appreciated nicely but that’s not why Bell continues to invest in the artist. “Some stuff is worth ten times what I’ve paid for it but I’m not looking to sell. These pieces are part of my idea of how to live,” he says. “You only live once, so you should enjoy every day. Warhol helps me do that.”

Warhol himself couldn’t have predicted the overall escalation of prices in the art world since his unexpected death following routine gall bladder surgery in 1987 but, Colacello feels sure he would take great satisfaction in knowing that his work is going for much higher prices than Frank Stella or Jasper Johns, artists who once looked down their noses at him. “They thought Andy was just a throw-off from the fashion business,” Colacello says. “They didn’t get it.”

And Warhol, apparently, wasn’t going to explain. The flamboyant figure was reluctant to talk about his work, Colacello says; he thought artists who expounded about their ambition and what they were trying to achieve were terminally uncool. In line with that, he never hung one of his own pieces at home.

“In his mind, Andy was competing with Picasso,” Colacello says. “He wanted to be as influential in the second half of the century as Picasso was in the first half, and that’s pretty much how it worked out.”

Hat Trick The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents a trio of Warhol exhibitions Jan. 26 – May 1.

Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy As a fixture of the wild, glamorous, disco-and-drugs-driven world of Andy Warhol, Bob Colacello was perfectly positioned to record the frenetic pace of the '70s-era Factory scene. This first major museum exhibition of Colacello’s candid photos includes vintage prints and selections from his book, OUT.

Warhol Prints from the Collection of Marc Bell The complete silkscreen suites from the collection of Marc Bell include the iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans, images of Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Mao as well as Warhol’s Flowers, Dollar Signs, and Camouflage.

The Art of Dr. Seuss Invades The Gardens Mall

Whimsy, wonder and a wee bit of weirdness still swirl around the beloved genius known as Dr. Seuss.

A quarter century after Theodor “Ted” Geisel’s death, the artist and author best known for his colorful collection of children’s books lives on

The

exhibition, which runs Jan. 17 through Feb. 14, not only offers iconic illustrations of Cat in the Hat, Horton and Sam-I-Am but also lesser-known bronze sculptures, oil paintings and taxidermic creations. The 141 pieces on display represent the first free-to-the-public showing of Geisel’s fascinating body of work.

The fun factor will hit the roof of the mall’s Grand Court every Saturday and Sunday during the exhibition as Maltz Jupiter Theatre Youth Performers will present a 20-minute showcase from Seussical, the Broadway musical based on Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears a Who, The Cat in the Hat and other stories.

“The stories just come to life,” says Andrew Kato, producing artistic director and chief executive of the Maltz, which plans to present a full-length version of Seussical in June as part of its summer student series. “It’s very immersive, very environmental. It sort of has a flash-mob element to it.”

Topsy-turvy shapes and larger-than-life sizes combine to form a Seuss-inspired set specially designed by the Maltz and local production guru Paul Tate dePoo III. A curved, three-armed stage will serve as the centerpiece for a series of 16-foot-high walls built to house the artwork. The Maltz’s Brian Andrews choreographed each of the six songs on the bill; resident sound designer Marty Mets handled the acoustics.

Young singers and dancers will move across the imaginative set dressed in equally imaginative costumes conceived by sartorial standout Jenna Hoefert. Hoefert tailored 14 original outfits inspired by the fantasy-like creatures inhabiting Whoville. “The Who characters were, as I say, one bubble off plum,” she says. “They had odd colors, hair tufts, a sort of shagginess, you might say.”

Hoefert describes her completed wardrobe as a cross between Judy Jetson and Madonna.

“If that conjures up something fun, it should,” she says. “It will look kind of edgy.”

Hoefert says the fact that the performances are taking place in the mall played a part in her project and resulted in the decision to don each child in an article of clothing that could be purchased at one of the Palm Beach Gardens retail destination’s 160 stores. “A classic, little-girl party dress, boy’s overalls, a tuxedo, Converse tennis shoes,” she says. “That is my homage to the mall.”

“This is a huge coup for the mall,” says Michele Jacobs, corporate director of marketing and operations for The Forbes Company, which owns the mall. “[The exhibition has] been in museums. It’s been in art galleries. But it’s never been curated in this form. It’s just something that hasn’t been done before.”

“Basically, what we wanted to do is support the mall and the Cultural Council by bringing a live component to the event,” Kato says. “The notion of collaboration between a mall and two arts organizations to create something beautiful I, personally, think is really amazing.

Whenever you have a public and private sector come together, it’s just a good, synergistic relationship.”

Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales of the limited edition works featured in the exhibition will go to the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. The organization also will receive 100 percent of the proceeds from a preview party kicking off the show. “The Cultural Council seemed like the perfect fit,” Jacobs says. Funds will help support the nonprofit’s mission of providing arts education to students, scholarships to summer camps and services to local artists.

“We have such a great relationship with The Gardens Mall,” says Mary Lewis, the Cultural Council’s development director. “We are so excited about the opportunity to collaborate with them and with the Maltz on such a fabulous undertaking. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring the wonderful work of Dr. Seuss to Palm Beach County. I think it’s going to be really fun to see.”

Dodie Thayer’s gloriously green lettuce ware lures collectors to the table

By Lucy Lazarony

Dodie Thayer’s iconic lettuce ware pottery is irresistibly green; the delicate veins of the leaves show through on each plate, cup, saucer and tureen.

The dinnerware – made by hand at Thayer’s Jupiter home – began appearing on the tables of notable Palm Beachers, including C.Z. Guest and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, in the 1960s. Even the duchess of Windsor collected lettuce ware.

Would it have been as popular if collectors knew it might more appropriately be called cabbage ware?

According to Thayer’s niece by marriage, Kathy Kindt, also of Jupiter, Thayer used cabbage leaves as the basis for her art because lettuce leaves were too flimsy. “She took a [cabbage] leaf and pressed it into a slab of clay, fired it into the kiln and that became her mold,” Kindt explains. “She had all different sizes of these leaves. She had stacks of these on the walls and that’s what she used.”

Thayer – who still lives in Jupiter, near the Loxahatchee River – stopped making the iconic pottery about 10 years ago, but now, thanks to a collaboration with designer Tory Burch, a new generation of collectors is developing a taste for the gloriously green dinnerware.

“I have always admired Dodie Thayer’s lettuce ware – each piece is truly a work of art. I was honored when she agreed to collaborate with us on a pottery collection and working with her has been an incredible experience,” Burch said in a statement when the new collection was launched in the spring of 2015.

Burch, drawn to Thayer’s particular shade of green, began collecting lettuce ware years ago. “Dodie Thayer is a true American artisan,” she says.

“And her story is remarkable: Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach [County], Florida, where she taught herself how to mold pottery from lettuce and cabbage leaves, creating a range of tureens, plates and objets through trial and error. A lot of trial and error, to hear her tell it.”

The daughter of Palm Beach County pioneers Bessie and John Dubois, Thayer grew up along the shores of the Jupiter Inlet, studied home ec in college and always wanted to be an artist. She would spend hour after hour

in the studio of her Jupiter home working with the clay. “Her window looked out on the beautiful river and she had her classical music and that was it. She was happy,” says Kindt, who worked with Thayer in the studio in the 1990s, a time when the artist was making many of her most delicate and detailed pieces. “She did it for the love of it. She didn’t really want fame and fortune. It was all the joy of life.

She’s just a sweet, sweet lady.”

And an accomplished artist.

“Her whole technique is very difficult because you have to have such knowledge of clay.

Too wet, it will collapse. Too dry, it would just break off to the touch. She just knew,” Kindt says.

“I have always admired Dodie Thayer’s lettuce ware – each piece is truly a work of art.”

— Tory Burch, designer

Thayer had five children but her nurturing was not reserved solely for them. Sometimes she would mother a cup or plate or tureen during the development process. “She talked to them like they were children,” Kindt says. “All the time, she was playing classical music. She is a very accomplished piano player as well.”

“Each piece was a labor of extraordinary love – two weeks start to finish,” Burch reported. “Every Thursday night, she would glaze a set of pieces, which would dry by morning. On Fridays, she would drive them into Palm Beach to the boutique Au Bon Gout, through which she would sell. Afterwards, she would have a wonderful lunch with friends at Ta-boo.”

Juno Beach resident Kelly Rooney, who sits on the board of directors for the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, began her collection of lettuce ware about six years ago after reading a newspaper article about Thayer. She was intrigued – not only because Thayer was a local artist, but also because her work was hard to find. “When something’s a challenge, I won’t let that stop me,” Rooney says. “The color of them is so happy. To me, they’re very Palm Beach. They’re frilly. It’s something that you don’t need but you have to have.”

“There’s almost a mythology built up around Dodie Thayer lettuce ware,” Burch says. “When it does come up at auction, it is gone within minutes. It’s rare. And people who collect it… understand that each piece is unique.” Prior to the launch of the “Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch” collection, the artist had never authorized reproductions.

Rooney’s first purchase, an absentee bid at an auction house in New York, provided a huge windfall. “Somehow I lucked out – 96 pieces and two tureens!” Rooney recalls. “They’re very bright green. They really, really stand out!” She’s been hungry for more, picking up pieces here and there, ever since. “I kept obsessing over it.”

In addition to vibrant green lettuce ware, Rooney now has red, orange, yellow, and pink hibiscus bowls, pineapple vases, pelicans, a shell dinner plate, a trinket box, plus an asparagus holder made to look like an asparagus – all by Thayer. “She did a lot of custom orders,” she says.

Rooney’s collection, which now exceeds 200 pieces, will be on display in the North Gallery at the Cultural Council’s Lake Worth headquarters from Feb. 20 to April 2, 2016.

ne of the best things about a good hotel – as anyone who’s ever stayed in one knows – is the helpful concierge, a person who seems to know exactly what you want and has the ability to make it happen. The service is so invaluable that you leave wondering why only hotels have concierges.

Well, Palm Beach County now has one.

The cultural concierge debuted in November, the brainchild of Marilyn Bauer, director of marketing and government affairs at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. Bauer wanted to provide “a service at a level that is unheard of in our modern age” – at least in realms larger than lodgings. In the process, she thought back to her days as a travel writer.

“When you go to a destination as a travel writer,” she says, “you have unprecedented access to people, places and experiences that the average traveler doesn’t have.” Why not, she wondered, get someone who has a vast knowledge of the region and its cultural activities to assist tourists when they come here?

She found a person who could do just that: Bama Lutes Deal, Ph.D., a musicologist and a member of Americans for the Arts. “I enjoy cultural connections,” Deal says.

art&culture

EAU Palm Beach Resort & Spa

As cultural concierge, she works directly with consumers. “Your mother up in the Northeast,” explains Bauer, “can call down here and talk to the cultural concierge and say, ‘I really love theater; I’m interested in seeing some theater when I come down.’ And Bama would say, ‘Oh, you might enjoy Palm Beach Dramaworks, which happens to be one of the five best theaters in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.’

She would then arrange that when your mother went to the theater, the house manager would come out and greet her by name and escort her to her seat – which would be upgraded, if possible, at no extra charge.”

The cultural concierge also works with her concierge counterparts at The Breakers, Four Seasons, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, PGA National Resort & Spa and Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa. (The list may grow.)

“They have the best of the best in the concierge business,” Bauer says, but adds that their concierges are very busy, especially in the winter.

And, says Deal, they tend to talk about what they know best – which may not be opera or the visual arts. “The educator in me,” she says, “loves talking to concierges and informing them about what’s available.”

Her help can be as simple as telling a concierge what the hot tickets are this season. In fact, every week Deal creates a hot-tickets list of

a&c Winter 2016_Cultural Concierge_Tourism.qxp_Layout 1 1/19/16 3:08 PM Page 65

PGA National Resort & Spa

Palm Beach Opera

approximately 10 events that goes directly to the hotels. The concierges there can print it out and give it to guests. The list is also available on the cultural concierge’s website at palmbeachculture.com/concierge.

If it’s something more complicated, the concierge can hand the guest over to Deal, who can create a customized experience. Bauer gives, as an example, a hotel guest who expresses an interest in photography. Deal could not only recommend an exhibition but also create a personalized tour of it. “Or,” says Bauer, “she could also hook this person up with a nature photographer who would take that person on a nature safari to get photographs of the inlet or some of the pristine scenes at MacArthur Beach State Park.”

Most people experience art passively – listening to music, looking at pictures – and it is this active, participatory aspect of the program that will appeal to many visitors. Bauer notes that one of the partners is Boca Ballet Theatre, which has a school where visitors can arrange to take private classes.

“Another part of this is meet-and-greet with the talent,” she says. “If a group is here and they want to see a performance, we can arrange for them to go backstage and meet the performers or have a champagne toast before the performance.”

The third main focus for the cultural concierge involves working with

arts organizations and partnering with sister agencies.

“Bama has really opened the door for us,” says Joanne Polin, who handles public relations for Festival of the Arts BOCA, which in March is bringing in Joshua Bell, Fareed Zakaria and Herb Alpert, among others.

“It helps us with supporters and it helps us sell tickets.”

Deal also coordinates with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission and the Palm Beach County Convention Center, creating cultural programs for spouses, family members or other traveling companions who may not want to attend all the various tournaments, sporting events, conferences and meetings that attract their loved ones.

A cultural concierge seems like the perfect idea for any metropolitan area, yet Palm Beach County’s is the first in the world. Its usefulness appears obvious in a county that is the size of Delaware and whose Cultural Council has, according to Bauer, “200 arts organization members that put on 42,000 arts events a year.”

And now there’s someone to guide visitors to them.

“It’s helpful to have one place to go to get so many things,” says Deal, adding: “I’m a humanistic scholar. I’m interested in the role of the arts in human experience. They add something intangible but also so wonderful.”

When she’s not traveling the world, headlining at five-star hotels and venues from Hong Kong to London, she enjoys time at home in Palm Beach, where she has developed a large following based on her mastery of the American Songbook as well as the songs of Diana Ross, Ella Fitzgerald and more.

Producer: Andrew Kato The Muse Awards honor outstanding individuals and organizations for their contributions to art and culture in Palm Beach County.
