Welcome As I sit to write this, my 16th catalog welcome letter, I am more at a loss for words than I have ever been (those that know me personally, know what a rarity this is!). I'm not sure how to describe the last ten months challenging, overwhelming, and heartbreaking to name a few. I do know we couldn't have made it through 2020 without our community and each and every one of you who reached out, donated and participated in one of our online programs - thank you! I am also optimistic (cautiously so). We have spent this time focusing on ways to safely deliver arts programs to you, exploring new ideas and initiatives, providing art kits and programs to our local community, and beginning the first phase of the updates and re-imagining of our campus. Our online programs like Conversations on Creativity and Critique Group have been an amazing opportunity to reach people in new ways while also expanding the audiences we connect with. We will continue to offer virtual programs, but we know that the community, camaraderie and learning that happens in an immersive in-person workshop is what makes PenArt so special. So with Safety Guidelines in place, new studio spaces completed, and an abundance of care, we are planning for in-person workshop programming this summer. Before you register, please review our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines so you will know what to expect and what will be expected of you. And know that, if conditions force us to cancel workshops, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get a full refund on your payment. We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Peninsula School of Art.

About Us For over half a century Peninsula School of Art has been dedicated to the belief that everyone deserves access to the arts—and each of us has the potential for artistic expression. Our exceptional art workshops, art education programs, exhibits, and events open doors for curious minds of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to learn, discover and explore through the visual arts.

OUR MISSION

Peninsula School of Art provides enriching, educational experiences to participants of all ages and abilities that broaden individual perspectives, and fosters a community dedicated to the transformative power of the visual arts.

OUR VALUES Artist-Centered A practice of mutual investment with the simple premise that “Peninsula School of Art doesn’t succeed, if artists don’t succeed.” It is a commitment to listening to, learning from, collaborating with, supporting, and celebrating artists of all career stages and visual arts practices. Integrity We are committed to honesty and transparency, to upholding the values and principals of PenArt through our actions and decisions, building trust, being accountable for our commitments and demonstrating respect for our students, instructors, donors and community. Growth We value growth: for our students, challenging them to push themselves creatively, to take the next step in their artistic development; for our community, providing opportunities to learn and discuss new ideas; for our staff, supporting personal and professional evolutions; as an organization, striving to continually improve. We celebrate moments of growth, large or small, and measure our success by them. Community We believe in the power of the communities we create and serve. We foster a welcoming atmosphere, a spirit of belonging, and inclusivity. The unique talents, interests, and values of both staff and the individuals we serve strengthen our programs, and infuses passion into everything we do. Forward-Thinking We lead change. We anticipate hurdles, innovate, make incremental improvements and embrace a proactive and critical approach. We both recognize and create opportunities to explore diverse perspectives on new thoughts, ideas, media, ways of working and technologies.

Making Space for Creativity & Community In 2016, we began dreaming of a new and reimagined Peninsula School of

Art campus -

one with more space, more studios, and more connection to our Door County community. A place for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to celebrate and grow through the visual arts. A creative community for learning, skills development and collaboration, a platform for dialogue, a safe haven for exploration, and a gateway to new community partnerships. We developed a master plan, then a construction plan and then, with the support of our community, began to raise the funds we needed to bring this new vision to life, then 2020 happened. We couldn't wait to break ground, or until we had raised the full 6.4 million dollars. We needed to prioritize and get our campus and studios back open safely and soon! During the winter and spring 2020-2021, we will begin the first phase of construction, completeing a new youth studio wing and one new 2-D art studio, as well as upgrades and repairs to our exisiting structures, and some much

All of this work will allow us to serve you our community - better in 2021 and beyond. But this is only phase one, and we need your help to fully realize the vision for a new and re-imagined Peninsula School of Art campus.

2-D Studio Arts

The Poetics of Mixed Media Benjamin Gardner

Skill Levels Level 1

A Skill Level 1 workshop does not require any previous art making experience. Build a foundation in the materials, techniques, and vocabulary of the medium.

Level 2

A Skill Level 2 workshop requires basic experience and training in the medium. Improve technical skills and begin exploring content in your work.

Level 3

A Skill Level 3 workshop requires a growing level of confidence with all aspects of the medium and ability to work and solve problems independently.

Level 4

A Skill Level 4 workshop requires experience, competency, and fluency in the medium. Artistic growth is emphasized through independent work and critique.

All Levels

An All Levels workshop welcomes students of any skill and knowledge level. Instructors offer a balanced and flexible curriculum tailored to each student’s experience. .

ID: 2D2104 Jun 7 - 8 • 9 am - 4 pm Any Painting Media, Drawing All Levels Members: $230 • Non-Members: $255 Includes materials fee. Concept

The use of mixed media can broaden your mark-making abilities and expand the content of your work. Through a mixture of practical, technical, and experimental approaches to two-dimensional media, learn how to incorporate different materials into a dynamic studio practice and discuss materials' relationship to ideas and concepts of art making.

Experience

This workshop begins with the basics of two main categories of 2D materials - graphic or drawing materials and waterbased materials. With this foundation, explore different techniques and mix them together to create a wider range of marks, applications, and aesthetics. Expect to create multiple tests of materials and techniques, as well as at least one personal, finished artwork. A group discussion closes the workshop. While not required, some previous art making is suggested.

Instructor

Benjamin Gardner’s work involves storytelling, experience, and place. In the classroom, his goal is to help students understand the process of creation and discovery to form a sustainable studio practice. Benjamin’s most recent accomplishment is a tie between his promotion to Full Professor of Art and Design at Drake University and his solo exhibition at Moberg Gallery (IA). When not in the studio, he is spending time with his family gardening and cooking. Benjamin earned his MFA from Illinois State University. www.benjaminagardner.com

Encaustic Painting: Basics, Methods, and Materials Sarah Rehmer

ID: 2D2105 Jun 7 - 8 • 9 am - 4 pm Encaustic • Level I Members: $225 • Non-Members: $250 Concept

Designed for students new to the encaustic medium, this workshop provides a handson introduction to the materials, working methods, and safety of encaustic painting. Gain a solid technical foundation and the confidence to continue exploring encaustic beyond the workshop.

Experience

Alternating between demonstrations and working time, learn how to set up your workspace and use the materials and equipment safely, as well as explore basic painting techniques and fusing methods. If you have current pieces made in another medium, please bring for a discussion on how to translate or enhance the work with encaustic paints. All paints and tools are supplied.

Instructor

After working with encaustic for more than sixteen years, Sarah Rehmer is still hungry to find new ways to push and manipulate the material. She encourages her students to learn and make work with an equally open and curious mind. With Sarah as your instructor, you can expect to learn handson and try everything at least twice. When not in the studio, she is usually out hiking the trails of a state park. Sarah earned her BA in Graphic Design and Photography from Dominican University and teaches workshops around the country. www.rehmer-studio.com

Oil and Cold Wax Medium for Beginners Karen Sako

Concept

ID: 2D2106 Jun 9 - 12 • 9 am - 4 pm Oil and Cold Wax • Level I - II Members: $450 • Non-Members: $490 In this introductory workshop, explore the possibilities of combining cold wax medium and oil paint. Unlike encaustic, cold wax is used at room temperature to both extend the paint and serve as a medium. Discover new materials and unique tools as you create dynamic paintings filled with visual interest and depth.

Experience

Demonstrations, helpful handouts, and hands-on practice explore traditional design principles, strategies for editing and simplifying compositions, application techniques, mark-making tools, and color. Throughout the week, create multiple paintings on a variety of substrates with an emphasis on experimentation and expression. Fusing technique and intuition, discover how to adapt this medium to your personal style, no matter the subject.

Instructor

Combining traditional art principles with exploratory techniques and materials, Karen Sako tackles the uncharted footpaths of contemporary art making. She brings that same enthusiasm and optimism to the classroom, where she continually invests her time and shares her trade secrets and findings with her students. Her goal is to ignite the next generation of pioneering creative visionaries and thinkers. Karen holds a BFA in Visual Communications from the Illinois Institute of Art and is an accomplished abstract artist, graphic designer, and instructor. www.sakostudios.com

Designed for experienced painters of any media, this workshop focuses on the preliminary planning stages of the painting process. Using gouache, a quickdrying, opaque medium, create color and composition studies to proceed with more confidence and strengthen your paintings.

Experience

Demonstrations and discussions provide an overview of the medium and its unique characteristics, while hands-on lessons in composition and color interaction help you look at your existing and future work with a more analytical eye. Working from photo references, create multiple color and value studies for a single composition, as well as studies with flat patches of color to explore abstract structural concepts. Discover how this process allows you to explore several options relatively quickly. Prior experience with gouache is not required, however a foundation in your chosen medium is.

Instructor

A mentor of Kyle McKenzie’s used to say, "experience before information." As an educator, he believes art is best learned through making, followed by reflecting and remaking. In his own practice, Kyle observes the quiet power in the mundane through paintings of patches of ground, domestic interiors, and atmospheric open landscapes. When not in the studio, he loves to go camping and hiking, especially with his four-year-old daughter. Kyle holds an MFA from the University of Arkansas and is an Assistant Professor at Missouri Southern State University. www.kylejmckenzie.com

Using art history as a point of departure, this workshop explores methods for finding and using inspiration to create unique, individual works of art. Discover likely and unlikely sources of inspiration in the various genres and moments discussed and identify approaches that best fit with your personal interests and goals.

Experience

The first three days begin with a brief lecture on a specific time and place in art history, focusing on the unique aesthetics, key artists, and later influences of each period, followed by time for you to interpret the day’s topic. Spend the remainder of each day working independently to create an original work, breaking for in-progress conversations. The final day includes a conversation about the work completed thus far and time to pursue individual projects. A seasoned educator, Wendi provides technical and material-specific instruction throughout the workshop.

Instructor

As an educator, Wendi Turchan’s goal is to help students find their way, not her way. She guides them toward their individual motivations while also asking questions that lead to new modes of thinking. Wendi’s paintings explore connections between home and the landscape. When not making work, she enjoys hiking, as well as tending to her houseplants, which all have names. Her favorite is Carol, a giant split-leaf philodendron. Wendi earned her MFA from University of Oregon and teaches at UWFond du Lac. www.wendimichelleturchan.com

Alla prima studies are often the prized possession of plein air artists. Discover the fresh accuracy of this way of working as you move in and out of the studio with brush in hand. Learn how to select your composition, capture light, and develop nuanced brushwork to create lively, structurally sound paintings in this rigorous and fun-filled workshop.

Experience

Each day focuses on a new objective and set of skills introduced through paint-along demonstrations and group discussions. Create plein air studies in the mornings and afternoons. Close each day in the studio with “analysis paintings’ of the day’s field work. Leave this workshop with several alla prima paintings completed in the field and studio, a pile of notes, tricks-of-the-trade from Bethann, and new ideas to inform your future work.

Instructor

An award-winning painter, Bethann Moran-Handzlik seeks beauty by looking carefully and developing a relationship with her subject. In the classroom, she meets students where they are, identifies what will impact them the most, and shows them how to develop that skill...then repeats and enjoys the experience. When not making work, she takes deep pleasure in spending time with her husband and their three children, cooking, gardening, reading poetry, and listening to music. Bethann earned her MFA from UW-Milwaukee and is a Lecturer of Art at UW-Whitewater. bethannmoranpainting.blogspot.com

Used by artists since the 1600s, pastel has a rich history. Delve into the unique characteristics of the medium in this twoday workshop designed for beginners. Learn about the tools and materials specific to pastel and build confidence in using them to capture your chosen subject matter.

In this workshop, focus on the dynamic tension that can occur through the interaction of two- and three-dimensional elements. Create low- and high-relief constructions that come off of the wall using a mix of traditional drawing media, including graphite, charcoal, and ink wash, on shaped supports made of paper.

Experience

Concept

The first day begins with a presentation of the history of pastel and examples of artists' work, followed by an introduction to the different types of pastels and papers. Through guided exploration, practice mark making, layering, and color mixing. The second day addresses how to start a pastel painting using a line stroke or side stroke, as well as how to create a sense of space and volume. Draw from landscape photo references with individualized instruction from Laverne. The workshop closes with a review of techniques learned and resources for continued education.

Instructor

As a teenager, Laverne Bohlin worked at an amusement park as a portrait artist making five-minute chalk portraits and caricatures. It was her first introduction to the pastel medium and she hasn’t looked back. Laverne’s goal as an instructor is to give her students the technical, aesthetic, and material knowledge they need to choose their own creative path. When not making artwork, she enjoys gardening, hiking, and reading art history books. Laverne earned her BFA from the University of Michigan and is a full-time artist and teacher. www.lavernebohlinart.com

Learn various approaches to drawing and sculpting with paper, such as marking and embossing, cutting and molding, bending and folding, and hinging and joining, that are applicable whether you are interested in creating non-objective geometric constructions or gestural assemblages that respond to a landscape or figure.

Making Marks: Inventive Approaches to Conventional Materials Shane McAdams

ID: 2D2163 Oct 1 - 2 • 9 am - 4 pm Any Painting Media • All Levels Members: $225 • Non-Members: $250 Concept

Often in an artist’s quest to represent their chosen subject matter with observational accuracy, they miss out on the unique characteristics of not only the material in hand, but other media that might better fit their ideas. In this process-based workshop, challenge conventional thinking about rendering and broaden the material repertoire used to do it.

Experience

The first half of the workshop focuses on working through an array of materials, examining each for their natural qualities, noting the effects, and determining which are worth pursuing further. From there, Shane encourages you to work with one or two specific materials to tease out an individual composition or series of compositions as a final takeaway. Artists of all levels and backgrounds welcome.

Rhonda provides feedback throughout the process. Leave this workshop feeling confident in your ability to complete your work with excellence. All levels welcome.

Instructor

In her first high school art class, Rhonda Nass’ instructor told her, "You could never be an artist." Fortunately, she was a stubborn teenager who was only motivated by his words. Rhonda’s teaching philosophy is quite different - to open students' minds to new techniques, styles, artists, and more to better equip them to succeed on their own. Rhonda earned a degree in Art Education from UW-Madison. She and her husband, Rick, collaboratively operate Ampersand, an illustration studio in Prairie du Sac. www.rnass.com

PenArt Critique Group FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH, 3-5PM OPEN TO ALL | FREE | ONLINE Critiques are an indispensable component of every artist’s education, growth, and individual path. Unfortunately, far too many see it as a setting to be feared. Rather, look at it as a rest stop along your studio practice’s ongoing journey; a place to stop, check your direction, clear the trash out of the car, and refresh yourself for the next leg. Filled with practical information from a variety of perspectives, critiques provide you with the means to reflect on the purpose and progress of your journey. Moderated

PenArt’s

Director

Education Elysia Michaelsen, Critique Group invites artists of all levels and media to come together for conversation. Reserve a 30-minute block to share your in-progress and/or finished work, ask questions of the group, and discuss what might be next. Feedback is transcribed by Elysia, so you can focus on the conversation at hand and revisit comments once you return to your home studio and continue working.

Using a combination of the potter's wheel and hand building techniques, young artists produce a range of functional pieces designed for the outdoors, including bud vases, flower pots, lanterns, and decorative garden sculptures. Students learn the basics of hand building and wheel throwing, as well as how to modify, embellish, and decorate with underglazes. Pieces are finished with a final clear glaze for durability. This workshop is four days in length. There is no class on Friday, July 30th.

2.5 D: Breaking the Surface JUNE 5 – JULY 17 OPENING RECEPTION: FRI, JUNE 4, 4-6PM Artists who typically work in two dimensions, who are trained in drawing, painting, and print-making, are masters of compressing the three-dimensional world into a flat surface. But, what happens when artists used to working on planes apply their unique perspective to sculpture? 2.5D: Breaking the Surface attempts to answer this question, presenting work that falls somewhere between sculpture and painting.

Door County Plein Air Festival Exhibition & Sale AUGUST 1 - 14 The featured artists of the Door County Plein Air Festival create seven to ten pieces during the course of the Festival (see page 85 for event information).

View the Door Peninsula through their eyes and maybe take home your own piece of Door County.

On Location: Artists Explore a Sense of Place AUGUST 21 – OCTOBER 2 OPENING RECEPTION: FRI, AUG 20, 4-6PM What is it about a place that captures our imagination, clings to our memories, and infuses our daily lives? Can its presence be conveyed by careful documentation of dimensions, stories told, the light of a window on a wall, or the ephemera inhabiting it? Though the artists included in On Location take many different approaches, place is central to their art.

Art by Number OCTOBER 9 – NOVEMBER 27 OPENING RECEPTION: SAT, OCT 9, 4-6PM Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty. – mathematician Bertrand Russell, 1919 A 2014 study showed that for mathematicians, looking at an elegant equation activates the same area of the brain activated when others see a beautiful painting. While this study offered scientific proof, the connection between art, beauty, and mathematics has long been evident. Art by Numbers explores this connection through work resulting from or inspired by mathematics.

Adult students have the option to purchase a box lunch at PenArt for $10 per day in the summer and fall. You may choose to pack your own lunch. Keep in mind refrigeration is not available. Children and teens enrolled in a half-day workshop should bring a snack and beverage. Peninsula School of Art takes food allergies very seriously but is not equipped to handle allergic reactions. If you have specific dietary needs or allergies, bringing your own lunch is your best option. We are not able to accommodate particular food preferences, dietary restrictions, or food allergies.

CANCELLATION POLICY

To cancel a registration:

PenArt makes a substantial investment when planning a workshop, and vacancies can be hard to fill even with a waiting list. While we understand that circumstances may arise causing a change in your plans, we must adhere to a business policy. If you need to cancel your registration, PenArt must be notified by phone, and the following policies apply: â&#x20AC;˘

30 days or more prior to a workshop: Full refund of tuition, less a $100 cancellation fee for multi-day adult workshops, $15 fee for single-day adult/teen workshops, or $25 cancellation fee for youth workshops.

â&#x20AC;˘

29 days or less prior to a workshop: No refunds of any amount.

Cancellation fees reflect the cost of registration, staff, instructor contracts, material acquisitions, and other services. This policy applies to all registrants, regardless of reason for cancelling. For your protection and should an unforeseen personal emergency arise, we HIGHLY recommend the purchase of trip insurance. Some credit cards, auto clubs, travel services, or online companies offer travel insurance for non-refundable expenses. If you drop out of a class once it has started, there are no refunds for any amount.

Registration Information TRANSFERS

Students may transfer from one workshop to another, space permitting, 30 days or more prior to the workshop for which they are currently registered. A $25 transfer fee for adult workshops and a $15 transfer fee for children and teen workshops will apply. Registrations are not transferable to another person. There is a limit to one transfer per student per year.

WAITING LISTS

When a workshop fills, we start a waiting list. There is no charge to be on a waiting list. If space becomes available, we will contact the first person on the list. That person has 24 hours to register before we move on to the next.

IF PENART CANCELS A WORKSHOP

Occasionally, PenArt must cancel a workshop due to low enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. If we do, we will notify you as soon as possible. You may register for another workshop (based on availability) or receive a full refund of tuition paid. Notification of cancellation will normally occur four weeks prior to the beginning of the workshop, in rare cases however, it may be less. Peninsula School of Art is not responsible for losses incurred due to housing, personal expenses, travel, or other arrangements.

IF THERE IS A CHANGE IN WORKSHOP INSTRUCTOR

Occasionally, a listed instructor is unable to participate because of illness, unforeseen personal matter, or change in their professional schedule. If we must replace an instructor, we will do so with someone of equal or similar credentials. When time permits, we will inform all registered students.

ACCESSIBILITY

Peninsula School of Art is committed to addressing barriers to participation that can restrict access to the visual arts for children, teens, and adults. Our gallery and studios are accessible; however, some studio equipment may require accommodation. We will make every effort to provide access to people with disabilities without posing undue hardship for the organization. For inquiry about accessibility needs, please contact Elysia Michaelsen at workshop@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org or 920.868.3455.

PETS AND SERVICE ANIMALS

Please leave your pets at home. Pets, other than licensed therapy or service dogs such as Seeing Eye Dogs, are not allowed on the grounds, in cars in the parking lot, or in PenArt buildings. Peninsula School of Art complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Any student who plans to bring a service animal must notify the Registrar at the time of registration, at which time we may ask if the service animal is required because of a disability or what work or task the service animal has been trained to perform. A service animal must be under the handlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control at all times, and the handler is expected to clean up after the service animal.
