Annual Mayors Luncheon For The Arts

Artists use their artworks to communicate different meanings and transfer specific messages to the audience. Their artworks can be presented in different forms like architecture, drawing, painting, sculpture, pottery and many other forms. Each artwork contains a specific meaning which is usually based on the artist 's beliefs, culture, identity and the nature surrounding us. Rona Rubuntja from the Hermannsburg Potters, Bronwyn Oliver, Christo and Jeanne Claude each presented their art in different forms but they all communicate meanings and ideas to the audience. Rona Rubuntja who is a senior member of the Hermannsburg Potters and her famous pottery work ‘I 'm Black’ for the exhibition ‘Our Land is Alive’ at the National Gallery of

Jackson, Franz Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. Macdonald and F.H. Varley” (Varley, 2013, P.2). They met in Toronto between the times of 1911 and 1913 except for Harris who was rich and made his fortune doing commercial art. This was set to be the beginning of marvellous painting of the Canadian landscape that displayed our culture that has yet to be acknowledged by the masses (Varley, 2013).

Upon arrival at the MacLaren exhibition center in Barrie Ontario, I was very surprised to be surrounded unusual art that have been all created by Canadian artists. Their was a wooden granary on the floor resembling world war 2 and and some unique maps that were written in words. Many of their painting and sculptures resembled to the history of Canada going back towards the first nations and both world wars. The MacLaren Art Centre has been made to honour Maurice MacLaren, a famous artist who bequest Throughout looking at every piece, you could see the messages they portray to the audience and how much of impact it has within our canadian history. Approaching an interesting piece, it was Bison skulls skillfully fabricated together by exhaust parts, stacked high like a mountain.

Society seems to change and advance so rapidly throughout the years but there has always seemed to be a history, present, and future when it comes to the struggles of the African Americans. The hatred of a skin tone has caused people to act in violent and horrifying ways including police brutality, riots, mass incarcerations, and many more. There are three movements the renaissance, civil rights, and the black lives matter movements that we have focused on. Our artist come from different eras but have at least one similarity which is the attention on black art.

To this day there are still many unresolved issues of racial stereotypes and racial inequality throughout the United States. And it is undeniably seen that the world today embraces multi-cultural and sexual orientation, yet there is still an unsupportable intolerance towards ethnicities and difference. The biggest issue in the world today is the struggle for African Americans to end racial stereotypes that they have inherited from their past, and to bridge the gap between acceptance and social justice. One of the most effective ways that blacks have found to bridge this gap, was to create a new way for society to see the struggles on an entire race; this way was created through art. African American artists from around the world are utilizing their skills to bring awareness to racial stereotypes and social justice. When I became and artist, I was afraid that I would not be accepted in the art world because of my race, but it was from the creation beauty and truth in African American art that I was able to see that I could succeed. When I saw this art my immediate feeling was that I was that I was proud of my race. I knew that I wanted to be an artist and I knew that I had a chance to do something great and to make those around me proud. It was because of contemporary African American artists art that I realized what beauty and truth could do to a person’s perspective. Looking back on this, I’m reminded that the most important thing about beauty and truth is

As Canada is influenced by European art, people in Canada are in search of art style that can call their own. After 1900, various groups of people such as a group of seven, Automatistes, and Regina Five emerge to create a unique art style that can call as Canadian art. Although the Carr and Humphrey are not in these famous groups, they are famous in their own way and leave a mark in Canadian art history. By examining the life of the artists: Carr and Humphrey, we can know why they choose their subject matter, what influence them whether people or philosophical ideas, how the social and political context that influence the type of artist are making and how do their artwork reflect upon Canadian and its identity. By discussing the artist’s life,

When I attend the Oklahoma Art Museum this morning, I was completely blown away by the different styles, technique, and artistic abilities that artist have. Art can come in many forms and can involve many different things. From paintings, sculptures, and abstract pieces of the modern world. Along with my visit, I got to experience a new collection of blown glass that was absolute remarkable. As I walked though the museum, it was as I walked though time and got to see how each period’s art changed throughout time. From the different shades of color to the different types of technique that filled the halls of the Oklahoma City Art Museum, each piece was genuine in its own way. I was starstruck as I witnessed Lowell Nesbitt’s Parrot Tulip, Richard Diebenkorn’s Albuquerque, and Dale Chihuly’s blown glass.

Art is a conveyor of whatever message or story a person wishes to share. As a society, we’ve become accustomed to the abundance of diverse messages and stories stemming from a multitude of cultures and people of varying backgrounds. However, the art scene has not always been this representative of all people. Contemporary artists such as Titus Kaphar, Kerry James Marshall, and Norman Rockwell have taken it upon themselves to proclaim the importance and presence of African Americans in history. Using purposeful art composition and meaningful symbolism, these artists address the imbalance power between African Americans and whites in regards to the lack of representation of African Americans in the history of art. By addressing this imbalance

Judith Francisca Baca was born on September 20, 1946 in Los Angeles, California to Valentino Marcel and Ortensia Baca. Her father, Valentino, was not in the picture, so she was raised by her mother, grandmother, and two aunts. Coming from a Spanish speaking family, Baca struggled in school, but maybe her struggling was a good thing. Due to her problems with speaking, Baca’s teacher made her sit at her desk and paint, which sparked her interest in art. She attended California State University at Northridge to obtain her bachelor’s degree. Then she went back to her high school, Bishop Alemany High School, to teach. That is where she got together “ethnically diverse” students and painted a mural. Her teaching job did not last long. Her next job was in Los Angeles in a traveling program for artists to teach at different schools. But one even that sparked her art life was exploring the Mexican muralist tradition. She was inspired by different books she read about them and traveled to Mexico to take classes in mural techniques and materials. When she returned to Los Angeles, she began her Citywide Project. She supervised and

It is understood that no matter what, high school sports will always make more money than an art show, but that does not mean our community should have less opportunity for students to display their work to the community. La Porte does have two art galleries and a community theater, but just thirty minutes away, Michigan City offers more to La Porte artists than the community they live in. However, if a student cannot afford to take classes outside of school or has no means of getting to Michigan City, there is little he or she can do to help prepare for the competitive world of the arts.

There seems to be a cultural war surrounding political identity between white and black culture. Particularly white men, who have always been in the position of power and control, whereas other races have not. In Bailey’s case being a white successful artist, he is able to do whatever he wants without anyone questioning his creativity, especially with a big art institution like the Barbican behind him. He is protected from the realities of the outside world. Being an artist allows incredible space to create anything you set your mind to and the freedom to do so, but with freedom comes responsibility.

I chose to do my research on a local ceramics artist named Heather Dahl. After interviewing Heather, I have learned a lot about her past and in addition, I believe that I've learned some helpful knowledge for myself going into the future. Heather Dahl grew up in Winnipeg and moved to Yarrow when she was 14 years old. Later on in life she moved to Vancouver and now has a studio here which was funded in 2007 called dahlhaus art. Heather believes that the environment she grew up in had an impact on herself as an artist, but personal experience, aesthetic and many more aspects also play a role in her story as well. She knew that she wanted to have a career in the arts by grade 9, but in the beginning she had always thought that she would become

The Open House event coincides with the Cathedral Village Arts Festival’s kick-off picnic. In 2016 the AGR extended our Open House partnerships to include the CVAF by co-hosting a FADA Dance performance in the Gallery space, thus drawing an even wider range of visitors into the AGR and the NBCAC. (The AGR shared the artist fees with the CVAF – both organizations promoted the event). The AGR and CVAF partnership also included the AGR hosting a Meet the Artists event in which artists involved with the festival gave talks on their work and CVAF projects. This is an ideal partnership as the Art Gallery of Regina is part of the vibrant Cathedral Area and we expect to continue this exciting partnership next

Being a teenager and apart of a generation where it seems as the unjust killings of minority youth has become a norm; It instills a burning passion in me to not only uplift my peers and youth through my art, but also express a bigger message. As I constantly look for ways to expand my craft, I also strive to encourage the youth, particularly in the Bronx, to become more aware and active. The late Maya Angelou said “I've learned that people will forget
