Executive Director’s Progress Report
Dear Crealdé Members, Please join me and the Crealdé Board of Directors in celebrating the completion of the 43nd year in our organization’s history! Thank you for your participation and support of Crealdé School of Art. Your dedication, along with support from local philanthropic foundations and government agencies, has enabled Crealdé to become one of Florida’s most vital arts organizations: • We feature a curriculum of over 125 visual arts courses and workshops in digital and traditional photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, glass and fiber arts to students of all backgrounds, taught by a faculty of over 50 professional artists and guest instructors. • We host 10 annual visiting exhibitions in three galleries, five traveling exhibitions, an extensive sculpture garden, and nine collaborative public art installations throughout the community. • We honor the value of cultural preservation through innovative programming that uses the visual arts to inspire individuals and empower communities. Through an extensive permanent collection of 175 framed archival photographs and oral histories as well as public art installations, we celebrate Winter Park’s historic African American community at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center. • We provide extensive ongoing community outreach programs and scholarships to economically disadvantaged individuals and underserved communities throughout Central Florida. This commitment expresses the ideal that the arts are for everyone, and that every individual and every community has a story worth telling. • We offer unparalleled opportunities for emerging artists to be mentored by seasoned professional artists and to work in a studio environment.
Highlights of our 2018 achievements include: • Overall tuition income from classes, workshops, special offerings, and art sales was $633,118, an increase of 17.5% compared to 2017, with 2,933 students served in tuition-based programs. Most programs experienced increases, with the most dramatic being Summer ArtCamp for ages 4 to 17, which grew by 16%. • Contributed cash income from membership, individual donations, fundraisers, and grants remained stable at 47% of total income. This included a successful year-end campaign to create a $32,000 fund to safe guard Crealdé in the event of an emergency such as a natural disaster. • Presently in its 12th year, the Hannibal Square Heritage Center just hosted the 10th Annual Folk and Urban Art Festival and featured three visiting exhibitions. • Exhibitions at our main campus galleries along with the Hannibal Square Heritage Center included Honoring Two Winter Park Legends: The Paintings of Hugh McKean and Jeannette Genius McKean, Director’s Choice VII: Recent Works by Crealdé Faculty, Marianna Hamilton-Ross: Symbiotic Dance, and Vibrant Vision: African Diaspora and African American Artists from the John Green and Richard Weedman Collection. 2 CREALDÉ SCHOOL OF ART
Executive Director’s Progress Report
• Exhibitions celebrating the work of our students and emerging artist programs included the 38th Annual Juried Student Exhibition, the 36th Annual Summer ArtCamp Student Exhibition, and New Works by Crealdé’s Emerging Artists in Ceramics, Sculpture and Photography. • Our book, The Hannibal Square Heritage Collection, won the Samuel Proctor Award from the Florida Historical Society which recognizes outstanding oral history projects whose content is substantially about Florida. • Crealdé’s original traveling exhibition Storytellers XVII: West of the East Coast Tracks – New Smyrna Beach Teens Give Us Insight Into Their Changing World was featured in an exhibition called Florida in Black & White at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach and The Lake: A Documentary Exploring the Land and People of Lake Apopka was hosted by the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation and the City of Winter Garden in their Art in Public Spaces Gallery.
“I’ve been a volunteer member of the Crealdé School of Art Board of Directors since 2009 and it is a pleasure for me to serve as Board President for this truly unique organization. I first experienced Crealdé in 1983 when I was 13 years old. I had a passion and natural talent for art and I wanted to learn more. Unfortunately, my mom was raising our family alone and could not afford to pay for an art class. My art teacher at school told her about Crealdé and encouraged us to apply for a scholarship. Crealdé responded, as it still does for so many people, by offering me a scholarship to a drawing class. I remember how excited I was and how the class completely transformed my artistic perception, abilities and self-confidence. As a package and branding designer today, I still use the techniques I learned in that class.”
Crealdé is truly a place where everyone can feel welcomed, learn and progress at his or her own pace and level. It’s also a place where dreams of creative expression really do become reality. Your support has enabled Crealdé to continue fulfilling its inclusive mission of community service and quality of life enrichment through the visual arts and humanities. I want to thank you on behalf of the children in the free after school art classes in underserved communities, the seniors who look forward to their weekly art class with one of our talented artists, the visitors to our free exhibitions on our main campus and at the Heritage Center and the thousands of past and present students who benefit from our affordable art curriculum. Without your support and grant funding, a majority of students would not be able to afford these experiences. The arts make us better people, help create civilized communities, and bring us together in dialogue as citizens of a democratic society that values diversity in expression, lifestyle, and cultural heritage. With kind regards,
Peter Schreyer CEO/Executive Director

2018 ANNUAL REPORT 3
School History
Crealdé Arts Inc. was founded in 1975 by William Jenkins to promote local artists by providing studio and gallery space. With profits earned from sales and rentals, Jenkins established ArtReach to provide art experiences to seniors and disabled individuals. By 1978, Crealdé evolved into a teaching center and became a 501(c)(3) organization. In the 1980s, three artistic departments were established, and the curriculum was expanded. A fine arts gallery was established in 1980, and in 1996 the gallery was named after Crealdé’s founder and his wife. Throughout the 1990s, Crealdé expanded on its mission, established a scholarship fund, launched the new Emerging Artist Program and deepened its commitment to make the arts available to the widest segment of the population. By the late 1990s, Crealdé had established three permanent outreach sites to conduct free classes for children, teens and seniors in underserved communities. In addition, more than 20 collaborative public art projects ‑ murals, sculptures and photo-documentaries – have been conducted through partnerships with other nonprofit organizations. Crealdé’s free galleries host artists from throughout the United States and the world to exhibit, present lectures and conduct workshops for the community. In 1999-2000, Crealdé undertook an aggressive capital campaign to construct its first building addition in more than 20 years. Nearly $200,000 was raised including a matching Cultural Facilities Grant from the State of Florida. The 3,000-square-foot expansion features a second painting studio, the Showalter Hughes Community Gallery and lecture space, and a covered porch overlooking beautiful Lake Sterling. In keeping with Crealdé’s mission to provide outreach and foster cultural diversity and preservation of our cultural heritage, Crealdé deepened its long-standing relationship with the City of Winter Park in 2007 by opening the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, which stands as a tribute to the past, present and future contributions of Winter Park’s African American community.

School History
The facility serves as a home for The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park. In partnership with academic institutions and other nonprofit organizations, the center also presents exhibitions and programs that focus on local history, cultural preservation, African American experience and Southern folklore. With the addition of this new venue, Crealdé’s budget reached the million dollar mark for the first time. Out of the desire to increase its participation in the economic vitality of the community, Crealdé secured its first Cultural Tourism Funding grant from Orange County Government in 2007, which has continued, together with the City of Winter Park Redevelopment Agency, United Arts of Central Florida, and the State of Florida to be Crealdé’s largest funders.
“My year in the Crealdé fellowship program has been inspiring, challenging and awakening. It has been intensely personal and communal. I have become part of a community that through each of our own private journeys, shares the desire to create a record of our experience in this world. At Crealdé there is value in observing the everyday or imagining the unseen. Crealdé is a place where the act of learning to create what’s in our sights, or in our souls is possible and worthwhile. I spend my volunteer time at the reception desk answering the phone and registering people of all ages and backgrounds for classes. I enjoy it. I enjoy it because so many times I hear the same excitement in a new students voice that I felt, the excitement of finding a place to develop and explore our own talents while joining in a community that recognizes the value of creation and how those creations in turn, reflect and add to our greater community”. –Suzy Wilson, Artist Painting & Drawing Fellow Front Office Volunteer
In 2010, Crealdé completed its second campus renovation, totaling $220,000, funded this time by an Orange County Cultural Facilities Grant and matched by contributions from an enthusiastic Crealdé membership. The renovation included campus re-roofing, air-conditioning, and a new campus entrance, featuring a large mosaic mural. In the same year Crealdé also entered a new government partnership with the City of Winter Garden, enabling us to offer a limited number of tuition-driven classes at the new Jessie Brock Community Center, strategically located near several growing west Orange County and Lake County communities. Crealdé celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2015 with a series of exhibitions that focused on the artistic success of our alumni and also highlighted national artists whose work celebrates America’s cultural diversity. Over the last four years we have continued with campus beautification that included paving the parking lot, improving sidewalks, modernizing teaching studios, and introducing new art media in jewelry, glass and fiber arts. In the spring of 2017 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, recognizing key people responsible for its first decade of success. In the fall, Crealdé completed a two-year rebranding campaign that included a new logo, the launch of a new website, and a beautiful new campus welcome sign.

Mission Statements
Mission Statement for Crealdé School of Art Crealdé’s mission is to stimulate the creative process inherent in each individual through hands-on education in the visual arts and to cultivate a lifelong aesthetic appreciation. This mission is realized through comprehensive studio art instruction and interaction with professional working artists; presentation of gallery exhibitions and lectures; related art activities that stimulate art exploration and specialization including an extensive outreach program that services at-risk minority youth, individuals with disabilities and seniors; and fostering cultural diversity and understanding of pluralism and preservation of our cultural heritage.
Mission Statement for Galleries and the Contemporary Sculpture Garden The primary focus of the galleries is to present thought-provoking, quality exhibitions and programs. Installations reflect a variety of media and represent the work of local, regional and national artists. As an extension of the community-based school of art, the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery, Showalter Hughes Community Gallery and the Contemporary Sculpture Garden are committed to providing educational experiences to students, members and Central Florida’s diverse population.
Mission Statement for the Hannibal Square Heritage Center In partnership with the community and the City of Winter Park, Crealdé School of Art will operate the Hannibal Square Heritage Center as a tribute to the past, present and future contributions of Winter Park’s African American community. Through innovative programming in the arts and humanities, the Heritage Center will become a neighborhood focal point, archive and home to The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park. Through exhibitions and diverse educational programs, the center inspires all Central Floridians and visitors to our area to respect, explore, participate and become more aware of their own community’s history and heritage.

Program Curriculum
Crealdé School of Art continues to provide an extraordinary array of artistic opportunity for the Central Florida community across our three campuses: the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in Winter Park; the Jessie Brock Community Center in Winter Garden; and our main campus in Winter Park. For 2018, Crealdé’s tuition-based Art Education Curriculum consisted of the following: • Five seasonal sessions for adults and five 6-week sessions for children totaling approximately 600 classes. • A total of 66 workshops led by Crealdé’s talented faculty, including landscape painting and drawing, sculptural welding, adult-child team ceramics projects, jewelry making and wedding photography. Our Outreach programming provides access to the arts for underserved communities, and scholarships ensure tuition-based programming is accessible to all. Our Emerging Artists and Fellowship Programs provide professional development opportunities for emerging and established artists. Crealdé continues to provide unique learning opportunities beyond tuitionbased programming, including free exhibit lectures, gallery tours of the nine exhibitions for 2018, and tours of the Contemporary Sculpture Garden on our main campus. The permanent exhibits at the Heritage Center continue to reach new audiences, and both the Heritage Center and Jessie Bock campuses contributed to 14% of the overall Crealdé enrollment. Every year, thousands of individuals of all ages and backgrounds participate in Crealdé studio classes and related programs. The following synopses provide an overview to each medium’s educational programming.
Painting and Drawing Crealdé’s largest program employs more than 20 arts educators and offers a comprehensive curriculum of more than 30 classes, including oil, acrylic, printmaking, collage, mixed media, watercolor, abstract, portrait, figure and plein-air painting. In addition to introductory and intermediate courses, Crealdé also offers classes for advanced art students, such as life drawing, abstract painting and portrait painting. Figure drawing workshops are held every Friday and Sunday. These two open-studio sessions are offered throughout the year. National and international artists have taught workshops on special topics such as advanced oil painting techniques, still‑life painting and looser abstract painting methods.
8 CREALDÉ SCHOOL OF ART
Program Curriculum
Photography Crealdé’s Photography Program provides over 25 classes designed for amateurs and advanced students. The curriculum offers a variety of classes and workshops for film and digital students interested in developing basic photography skills to pursue fine art and commercial photography careers. Conventional film photographers enjoy expanded access to one of the area’s only remaining school-based darkrooms. Two classrooms dedicated to digital photography include nine computer stations. Crealdé’s Digital Print Lab and Finishing Area give digital students the ability to take their images from pixels to print.
Ceramics and Sculpture
“I just want to thank you for your leadership at Crealdé and for making sure there is space for artists like David Cumbie to inspire imaginative starving young minds, like my son’s. Josh has creative gifts, always taking things apart and putting them back together, and they weren’t being tapped or celebrated in our school system. He provided great instruction, a safe environment and the freedom to create. This experience has sent my son over the moon. After being so encouraged and empowered, he will never be the same.” -Reverend Michele Van Son, First United Methodist Church, Winter Park, FL
Our 3-D curriculum features instruction in various media and subjects, such as figurative and abstract sculpture, bronze casting, coppersmithing, and functional ceramics including wheel throwing and handbuilding. The facility includes gas, raku and electric kilns, as well as a professional bronze foundry in a separate building. The program has a liberal open studio policy, enabling students to work independently. Visiting Artist Workshops have included special topics such as Using Colored Clay in an Unusual Ways and Production Pots Big and Small. A series of weekend workshops include welding, hand building and stone carving. Collaborative projects have produced pieces on permanent display in Crealdé’s Contemporary Sculpture Garden.
Fiber Arts, Jewelry and Glass In 2015, Crealdé launched an expanded Fiber Arts program in response to national trends and increased interest in this medium in Central Florida. Introductory Fiber Arts programs include classes in thread painting and papier mâché. Crealdé offers classes in traditional and contemporary quilting methods including patchwork, appliqué, longarm workshops and fabric collage at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center. Jewelry offerings include repoussé techniques, metal folding and forging, and cold connections and riveting, as well as a popular four-week Introduction to Jewelry Design and Fabrication. Crealdé’s Glass program includes faculty-offered classes in stained glass as well as guest artist workshops in glassworking.
Young Artist Program The Young Artist program represents roughly 24% of Crealdé’s total enrollment. This program serves children and teens ages 4 to 17 in more than 30 classes on three campuses in a variety of media. Established as the first of its kind in 1982, Crealdé’s Summer ArtCamp provides for hundreds of children the opportunity to participate in one- or two-week sessions of hands-on art instruction in six mediums. The summer concludes with the Summer ArtCamp Exhibition, featuring artworks from individual campers and large-scale collaborative works mentored by the camp instructors. The art is on display for two weeks in the Showalter Hughes Community Gallery on Crealdé’s main campus. In 2018 the Summer Program was expanded to include the Young Artist Immersion component where students can select their two favorite visual art mediums allowing them to deepen their studies, knowledge and experience. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 9
Hannibal Square Heritage Center
In partnership with the community and the City of Winter Park, Crealdé School of Art operates the Hannibal Square Heritage Center as a tribute to the past, present and future contributions of Winter Park’s African American community. In 2017, we celebrated the Heritage Center’s tenth full year of operations. Through innovative programming in the arts and humanities, the Heritage Center is a neighborhood focal point, archive and home to The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park. Through visiting exhibitions, community-based public art exhibitions and diverse educational programs, the center inspires all Central Floridians and visitors to our area to respect, explore, participate and become more aware of their own community’s history and heritage. The Heritage Center hosts regular tuitionbased classes, including digital photography coursework, but primarily exists as a service to the greater community and an outreach center for youth and senior classes as listed above and for other community arts-based services as follows:
The Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park Crealdé’s most extensive outreach project is an on-going communitybased project celebrating the heritage, character and contributions made by Winter Park’s African American community. During annual Community Heritage Days, the Crealdé team of historians, cultural anthropologists and documentary photographers collaborate with intergenerational members of the historic Hannibal Square neighborhood to collect historically illustrative personal photographs and corresponding oral histories to tell the story of the community. This project is modeled after similar efforts conducted by the Los Angeles County Library and represents the first collection of its kind implemented in a Central Florida community. Completed phases from this ongoing project have been dedicated annually during the City of Winter Park’s Martin Luther King Day Unity Heritage Festival. Originally on display at the Winter Park Community Center, the Heritage Collection became the cornerstone and impetus for building the new Hannibal Square Heritage Center. Crealdé’s book, The Hannibal Square Heritage Collection, highlights some of the Heritage Collection’s most popular images and oral histories and is sold at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center and Crealdé’s Gift Shop. Now in its second edition, the book won the 2017 Samuel Proctor Award from its publisher, the Florida Historical Society, for its substantial contribution to the documentation of Florida history. The center hosted many events, groups, and tours including the Winter Park Public Library Let’s Talk Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, Rollins College and Valencia College classes, the Equal Justice Initiative, Bridging the Color Divide, and Leadership Winter Park. Special events included the third annual Juneteenth Celebration in partnership with the Winter Park Community Center and the “Minnie the Mule” Field Trip presentations to children and seniors, sponsored by AARP. In 2018, installation of the audio kiosk with braille buttons was completed, enabling the visually impaired to listen to the history and a sampling of the stories presented in the Heritage Collection: Photographs and Oral Histories of West Winter Park. 10 CREALDÉ SCHOOL OF ART
Hannibal Square Heritage Center
Hannibal Square Community Workshops with Visiting Artists Select artists exhibiting in the Heritage Center Visiting Exhibition Series provide free community workshops. Past artists include the Smithsoniancollected Ruby C. Williams and Mr. Imagination, Missionary Mary Proctor, sacred arts folk artist Linda Schäpper, Gee’s Bend quiltmakers Louisiana Bendolph and her mother, Rita Mae Pettway, and sweetgrass basketmaking workshops with Barbara McCormick and LaQuetta Smith. In addition to creating personal works of art relating to family and heritage, participants collaborate with the visiting artist to create a public art piece for the Heritage Center’s permanent collection.
Ninth Annual Hannibal Square Heritage Center Folk & Urban Art Festival In 2018, the Heritage Center hosted its Ninth Annual Hannibal Square Heritage Center Folk & Urban Art Festival, a day long celebration of our community’s diversity with roots music, folk and traditional arts. The Festival delights visitors with the cultural traditions of Central Floridians with activities and entertainment for all ages, such as African storytelling, Zydeco music, percussion performances, Puerto Rican Vejigante mask-making, and an Aztecas Indian Headband workshop and musical parade for children. Informational booths represent the center’s many supportive partners. The Hannibal Square Heritage Center also hosted walking tours of historic and formerly segregated Hannibal Square, led by Chief Historian Fairolyn Livingston, teaching the vibrant history of what was once a self-sustaining community.
“The Heritage Center is certainly a beacon of light that brings dignity to the community, as well as inspiration to all who visit from near and far. I truly appreciate and was moved by the wonderful exhibition of photographs and stories as told by residents from Winter Park’s historic African American community. The Hannibal Square Heritage Center is a destination that I would recommend without reservation to those visiting Florida.” –Martin Luther King, III Atlanta, GA

Galleries & Lecture Series
Crealdé serves its mission to make the arts inspiring, engaging and accessible by providing the community with free exhibitions featuring visiting and local artists who often provide educational lectures and workshops together with their exhibitions.
The Alice & William Jenkins Gallery Formally opened in 1980, the mission of the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery is to exhibit the work of noted and established Florida artists, as well as to introduce national and international artists to the Central Florida region. Each of the three diverse exhibitions is professionally designed by Crealdé’s Curator of Exhibitions or a guest curator. In 2018, the Alice & William Jenkins Gallery hosted Honoring Two Winter Park Legends: The Paintings of Hugh McKean and Jeannette Genius McKean, 38th Annual Juried Student Exhibition, and Vibrant Vision: African Diaspora and African American Artists from the John Green and Richard Weedman Collection.
Showalter Hughes Community Gallery Established in 2000, the Showalter Hughes Community Gallery highlights four to five exhibitions annually, featuring work by students, faculty, emerging artists and outreach programs. The gallery features shelves where ceramic fellowship artists display their work, and also serves as a classroom for member and community events with seating for 80. 2018 exhibitions included Director’s Choice VII (photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and fiber arts), Symbiotic Dance: Marianna Hamilton Ross, the 36th Summer ArtCamp Student Exhibition (all media), and New Works by Crealdé’s Emerging Artists Program: Ceramics, Sculpture and Photography.
Contemporary Sculpture Garden Established in 1997, the lakeside Contemporary Sculpture Garden is located on the grounds of Crealdé School of Art’s main campus and is open to the public. A self-guided tour leads visitors through the attractively landscaped campus and approximately 60 pieces of outdoor art and educational panels. The sculptures are used to teach field trip students about the diversity of expressive styles and durable media available to the sculptor. 2018 additions include three sculptures by Central Florida artist Sandro Perez, as well as Pulse Remembered, a tribute relief sculpture made from twice-fired clay. The creation of this memorial was initiated by Senior Faculty member Doug Bringle, and included nearly 40 contributors, ranging from novice to accomplished, and from firsttime visitors to long-time Crealdé family members.

Always on display are The Heritage Collection and The Sage Project, as well as the Hannibal Square Timeline juxtaposing significant local and national historic events impacting African Americans. Also on display is a collection of community-created artworks that are the result of collaborations with noted folk artists including Mr. Imagination, Ruby C. Williams, Missionary Mary Proctor and quiltmaker Lauren Austin. The center also hosts a number of community events and serves as a community meeting space for Rollins College and Valencia College, the Equal Justice Initiative, and Leadership Winter Park.
“What an incredible experience Jonathan Green and I had visiting the Crealdé School of Art and the Hannibal Square Heritage Center. Everyone we met were outstanding from the administrative staff, staff members, volunteers, board members, and students were top of the line” –Richard D. Weedman, Studio Director, Jonathan Green Studios, LLC, Charleston, SC
Recent additions to the permanent collection include the Heritage Collection Phase XI: Hannibal Square Heroes and The Sage Project: Hannibal Square Elders Tell Their Stories. The Sage Project is a series of 18 contemporary portraits and oral histories of Hannibal Square residents ages 85 to 106, and was Crealdé’s tribute for the City of Winter Park’s 125th anniversary.
Traveling Exhibitions Exhibitions created as a result of Crealdé’s award-winning outreach and gallery programs become part of our archives, and are available to travel to other venues for display. New for 2017, the traveling documentary project, Storytellers XVII: West of the East Coast Tracks, debuted at the Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum and Arts on Douglas in New Smyrna Beach and traveled to Dayton Museum of Arts & Sciences. The Lake: A Documentary Exploring the Land and People of Lake Apopka traveled to three venues in Winter Garden in partnership with the Winter Garden Heritage Foundation. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 13
Outreach & Scholarship
Since 1995, Crealdé has taken the opportunity to use the visual arts as a means of connecting communities, fostering cultural awareness and promoting understanding. As part of its mission, Crealdé’s outreach programming sustains an unwavering commitment to serve every community we enter. Our outreach and scholarship programs emphasize working with underprivileged children, at-risk teens and low-income senior citizens. Each class or project introduces the student to the specific art medium, then, through a public exhibition or installation, shares the participants’ achievements with the community. Crealdé outreach programming includes the following:
Storytellers Teen Documentary Photography Program Ten-week classes use photography to give students ages 13 to 17 an opportunity to express themselves in pictures and words, while exploring their cultural heritage, neighborhoods, families and friends. Since 1996, Storytellers has been funded by six different private foundations, resulting in 17 completed projects and exhibitions at community sites. The first projects become part of Crealdé’s Archive of Community-Based Documentary Photography, and individual exhibitions are frequently loaned for display at the facilities of our community partners. The most recent Storytellers program engaged students from the historic West Side New Smyrna Beach community, representing a partnership with the Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum.
Neighborhood Pride Public Murals Since 2000, Crealdé has produced seven privately funded murals throughout Central Florida. During these eight-week classes, young students ages 10 to 14 collaborate to create a public mural in their own community, helping to beautify as well as increase awareness of important themes such as non-violence, education, family and cultural heritage. In addition to the young painters developing their own styles and individual modes of expression, the program helps bring segments of the community together for a hands-on, shared experience.
Monument Builders Since 2001, young sculpture students have collaborated with their instructors to construct a permanent outdoor piece of art in neighborhoods throughout Central Florida. Themes include cultural heritage, non-violence and drugfree living. A 12-foot-long, 4-foot-high Memory Wall created in 2008 with Mr. Imagination, a Pennsylvania-based African American folk artist, is permanently installed at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center. The Memory Wall, holding objects donated by community residents, is Winter Park’s first collaborative public art sculpture.
Art Samplers for Children Eight-week classes provide groups of students ages 5 to 10 with handson instruction in the fundamentals of art-making. Self-expression and self-esteem are fostered in the following underserved communities where Crealdé Outreach Programs are offered: The John H. Bridges Community Center in Apopka, the Maxey Community Center in Winter Garden and the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in Winter Park. An end-of-the-year party and exhibit allow these youth to display and celebrate their artworks. 14 CREALDÉ SCHOOL OF ART
Outreach & Scholarship
Free Art Programs for Seniors The Free Senior Art Sampler Class for ages 60 and up began at the old Winter Park Community Center in 2000 and is offered at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center in partnership with the City of Winter Park Community Center. Participants learn techniques in painting and drawing to produce artwork on canvas, paper and unconventional materials. Many of the participants have been in the program for years, committed to the process of learning art. Since 2015, Crealdé has taught the Hands-On Inspiration Fine Art Sampler for participants in Easterseal’s Day Break Program at the Miller Center in Winter Park. Day Break serves adults with a decrease in physical, mental, or social abilities and provides respite to caregivers. The goal of the classes is to enhance the quality of life for participants. Day Break staff report that Crealdé’s art class increases participants’ socialization and improves mood, fine motor skills, and self-esteem. Families who attend the annual art exhibition in April are amazed by the beauty of the artwork produced by their loved ones.
Youth Scholarships The Alice M. Jenkins Scholarship Fund, founded in 1988 in honor of the wife of Crealdé founder Bill Jenkins, provides free classes to an average of 100 economically disadvantaged children and teens each year. In 2018, Crealdé provided $11,620 (a 10% increase) in full scholarships to 28 Summer ArtCamp students and 19 Young Artist Program students. Scholarship recipients come from as close as Winter Park and as far away as the farmworker communities of north Orange and south Lake counties. The fund is replenished annually with contributions from private foundations and individual donors.
“A Visit to the Art Studio” Field Trip Program “Thanks for inviting the Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum to partner with the Crealdé School of Art for the Storytellers XVII project. Peter did a fantastic job in mentoring and instructing the students in visual and narrative storytelling through traditional film-based photography. The students learned a great deal about the educational power of collecting oral histories from their own community. This project was a dream-come-true for our museum director, Jimmy Harrell.” –Ann Harrell, Board Chair, Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum, New Smyrna Beach
During the 2017-2018 school year, 1,349 public school students and 273 private school students enjoyed the opportunity to observe professional artist at work in their studios, tour the exhibitions in the professional galleries, walk through the lakeside Contemporary Sculpture Garden, and become artist themselves in a hands-on workshop to create a masterpiece to take home.
Workshops for Osceola Public Schools In partnership with United Arts and Osceola Public Schools, Crealdé launched a new program offering 28 figure drawing workshops serving 600 high school students.
Free Programming at Area Events Crealdé conducted free hands-on workshops in painting, drawing, and clay for numerous community festivals including the Winter Park Autumn Art Festival, Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, Earth Day in the Park in Winter Park, Kid’s Fringe Festival at the Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival. Crealdé was invited to participate in the Epcot International Festival of the Arts and conducted 12 seminars and workshops that served 242 participants and curated an exhibition entitled The Artists of Tomorrow, showcasing 68 pieces of art from Crealdé youth programs, viewed by an estimated 2,500 attendees. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 15
Civic Vitality
Economic Development and Community Partnerships Crealdé has been committed to creating civic vitality through the arts since its founding—before “creative place-making” became an important trend in community development efforts. This commitment has brought Crealdé into a position of leadership in Central Florida with a track record of longlasting partnerships, creating over 45 collaborative community projects in the past decade. Our diverse artistic programs – from children’s classes to exhibitions and public art projects – increase social, cultural and even environmental awareness and understanding among people of all ages, races and ethnicities. By celebrating the history and voice of a community through the visual arts, the Hannibal Square Heritage Center has gained the attention of the local community as well as visitors from around the world, helping the City of Winter Park to receive the prestigious America in Bloom Award for the past several years. Our advocacy for the African American community of west Winter Park and Executive Director Peter Schreyer’s role as the volunteer arts and culture representative on the city’s visioning committee led the city to embrace the importance of arts and culture, rebrand itself as the “City of Culture & Heritage” and invest in a “Be Inspired” campaign to highlight and celebrate Winter Park’s rich arts and cultural community. In addition, Crealdé’s economic impact has been measured at $3,750,497 through Americans for the Arts’ Arts & Economic Prosperity Calculator. Farmworker Linda Lee at Home, Kucka Varghese, photographer, Apopka, FL Linda began working the farms at a very young age. She initially worked on the mule train, and then transitioned to picking produce such as beans, cucumbers, and okra during summers and school holidays. In the late 1960s, Linda was employed by the muck farms and harvested various seasonal crops. A vocation she continued for almost twenty years. As with many former farmworkers, Linda makes frequent hospital visits for the treatment of lupus, arthritis, and fatigue, among other ailments. The high incidence of these diseases among the farmworker community has been attributed to their exposure to pesticides used on the farms. Linda is an active spokesperson advocating for medical care and compensation for the former Lake Apopka farmworkers. From Crealde’s 2017 traveling exhibition The Lake: A Documentary Exploring the Land and People of Lake Apopka, which will show at the Orange Regional History Center, Orlando in the Fall of 2019.

Civic Vitality
Expanding Services to West Orange County and Lake County The once languishing agricultural city of Winter Garden has demonstrated its leadership by transforming into a thriving city with a focus on quality of life through arts, and historic preservation, balanced with economic development. In 2010, Crealdé began offering a limited number of painting, drawing, and photography classes at Jessie Brock Community Center, a newly renovated recreation center near historic downtown Winter Garden. Located 15 miles west of the Crealdé main campus, it has successfully attracted students from the growing communities of Ocoee, Windermere, Dr. Phillips, and Clermont. Participation is so successful that one out of 10 Crealdé students is now enrolled in a Winter Garden class.
Creating Opportunities for Florida Artists and Businesses Crealdé provides part-time employment for over 50 artists as faculty, visiting instructors, and curators; and engages paid visiting guest curators and artists as well as public art lead artists to instruct special workshops and projects. In addition to an administrative staff of ten (four full-time and six part-time), the programming for each of the school’s artistic programs is planned and administered by a part-time program and studio manager, who also teaches and uses studio space in the respective facility. A monthly stipend also is paid to a curator of exhibitions at our three galleries and the curator of the Contemporary Sculpture Garden. The estimated impact on the local economy, apart from tuition, is more than $1 million annually.
Attracting Tourists to the Hannibal Square Heritage Center
“[The Lake: A Documentary Exploring Life on Lake Apopka] is such a tremendous project, Peter, and a dream come true for me, in the sense of how important it has been to me for years and years of telling the complete and real Lake Apopka story. This is incredibly exciting and I am so glad you are proposing to do this! Thanks for your great work over the years. I will do whatever I can to help contribute to this project.” –Jeannie Economos, Pesticide Safety and Environmental Health Project Coordinator, Farmworker Association of Florida, Apopka, FL
Attendees learn to share their stories through quilting classes, taught by Lauren Austin. Offered monthly at the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, classes are free, open to the public, and no experience is necessary.
Since its opening in 2007, the Crealdé has received high scores from grant panels for the quality of its work through the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, resulting in seven $40,000 annual grants in addition to the recent award of five $75,000 annual Cultural Tourism grants from Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs. The Heritage Center also receives an annual $40,000 operating support grant from the City of Winter Park’s Community Redevelopment Agency. The reputation of the Heritage Center continues to grow, attracting cultural tourists with a special interest in African American history. Our programming and marketing efforts have translated into 29% of the visitors coming from outside the four-county area. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 17
Emerging Artist Programs
Crealdé School of Art offers students opportunities to develop themselves into professional artists. Through the Crealdé Fellowship Program, the Studio Artist Program, Cheryl Bogdanowitch Sculpture Scholarship and an additional adult scholarship award,students can receive mentorship, access to studios, and free classes. In 2018, Crealdé’s provided 23 artists with a total of 91 free classes and half-price workshops – a $21,102 tuition equivalent, representing a 28% increase over 2017. Artists in the Fellowship Program contributed over 3,060 hours of classroom, event and promotional support to Crealdé. All students are given the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work at annual art sales, the gift shop, and a student exhibition.
The Fellowship Program Crealdé’s Fellowship work-study program, established in 1978, offers free educational opportunities to students in exchange for hours worked to maintain the studios, assist with children’s classes and festival workshops, help with gallery and community events, and other responsibilities. Applicants are nominated by faculty members. Once approved, Fellowship students stay involved for one to two years. During this period, they can enroll in classes at no cost and have unlimited studio use. They usually complete their Fellowship with an independent study and a developed portfolio. The students volunteer approximately 30 hours per session and applications are accepted year-round.
Studio Artist Program Established in 1996, the Studio Artist Program is designed for advanced students, former Crealdé Fellows and emerging artists from the community whose goal is to pursue a professional career in the arts. Two positions per year are made available in each of the three Crealdé artistic departments for applicants recommended by a Crealdé staff member. Studio Artists show the results of their work in a biennial exhibition.
Adult Scholarship Programs Established in 1999, the Visiting Scholarship Program enables two area college students to attend our workshops at no charge, and the program is promoted through art professors at area schools. The Cheryl Bogdanowitsch Sculpture Scholarship provides an annual $1,000 scholarship for classes, workshops and studio use to an adult sculpture student.
Special Volunteers Crealdé is pleased to have a group of volunteers who support us in special ways as needs arise. These volunteers serve whenever their schedule and Crealdé’s needs match. Their areas of work are varied and include classroom assistance, curatorial proofreading, sculpture garden maintenance, and help with festivals, openings and special events.

For the first time since 2002, Crealdé ended the year with a deficit. This was due to heavy investment in new staff, customer service, and marketing, as well as a reduction in in-kind income (artwork as fixed assets) that normally offsets depreciation. The Crealdé Board considers 2018 a transition year of investment, showing its positive impact with a 35.8% increase in tuition income in the first quarter of 2019. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 25
