The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond at a glance is a modern metropolitan building that displays a vibrant exhibition of Byzantine art found in the Medieval and Byzantine wing. They are grouped together because they share a progression of time occurring in the heart of Europe roughly from the 1300s until the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The exhibit begins with displays of medieval art of Western Europe. It further progresses to Byzantine art arranged in broad categories ranging from pre-Christian art, liturgical material, secular material and a display of coptic textiles. Although small scale, a few art pieces prominently featuring the human figure stood out in particular.

The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) holds many works of art from all types of cultures from around the world. The Torso of an Emperor in the Guise of Jupiter from Roman culture and the Torso of Aphrodite from Greek culture, are but two of them. It is unknown who the artist was for either of them, but the work has lived on for centuries. During the time period the gods were known for their perfection- like body and extraordinary looks. Since the sculptures highlight only the torso of the body it represents that only image matters and the brain does not.

The Polk Museum of Art is a fairly small but unique collection of galleries near downtown Lakeland. It has several permanent exhibitions containing over 2,500 works of art (“Mission and History”) and also features new collections and works of art that it rotates out. PolkMuseumofArt.org explains which exhibitions are currently displayed and is updated to include upcoming events, descriptions of collections, and artists’ bios and statements on their works, as well as classes, camps, and speakers that will be held or featured at the museum (“Upcoming Events”). The website is an extremely useful tool to learn about the art that can be found at the local attraction, and it lends insight for visitors who want to know background

For the past six years, I have been dancing at Shirley Matta Dance Academy. I have been taught many dances of different variety such as jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, etc. The studio has recently begun offering Pointe classes, which I also attend. In addition to attending the studio, I also assist in teaching dance and gymnastics classes there. This has been an experience that I will never forget, especially since I spend most of my time at the dance studio. It has helped me in so many ways. Not only have I improved immensely as a dancer, my communication and leadership skills have skyrocketed as well. In fact, every Tuesday, I currently teach ballet to a group of about fifteen girls between the ages of 7-10 year all by myself. In

My building(Palace of fine arts) contributed to the Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair from many ways. First reason, how the Palace of fine art contributed to the fair was by “relieving them from monotony the exterior facades were adorned with mural paintings representing the history of art”(Says, 2017). This means this building was used to help people out. Second reason, how the Palace of fine art contributed to the fair was by “showcasing artworks”(McNamara, 2004). Palace of fine art shows off to Chicago to the rest of the world by “housing over 10,000 artistic works from around the world” (Wadsworth, 2014). This means that this building allows a safe place to put the exhibits. Finally, the Palace of fine arts is now called, “Museum of Science and Industry.

On the first of November I visited the Performance Art Center, on Texas State University’s campus. There I saw the Texas State Jazz Ensemble perform with guest, Steve Houghton. The performance began at 7:30pm and lasted for an approximate hour and a half.

The production A Christmas Carol was performed at the Denver Center for Performing Arts located in Denver, Colorado. I had the pleasure to attend the show on December 14th in the Stage Theater and I was captivated. This show captured the essence of a theatrical production. To avoid false impressions, the production I saw was performed in 2013. This is a foretaste for those thinking about attending the future performance in 2016; especially those who desire the theater experience.

The last of the charities covered in this paper is Pennsylvania Ballet. Conceived in 1963, this ballet company has been “at the forefront of dance in America and is widely regarded as one of the premier ballet companies in the nation.”( Charity

The history of ballet is rich, complex and full of powerful meanings depending on the time period. Ballet in the 15th century was seen as something that only select individuals could do, whereas, the 20th century ballet can be preformed by anyone. By thinking about how ballet performers have changed, a question may be thought is, have the people attending these ballet performances changed as well as the performers themselves? Today, children from ages two and up start taking ballet and family members come and watch their final recitals. National ballet companies are also an event and often draw attention to the higher-class individuals who have a taste for ballet. The ballet world could be seen as to having a quite array of attendees, events and functions, but that might not have always been the

The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA initiative allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to attend the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). I was able to take advantage of looking at three different exhibitions in a span of 4 hours but will only be discussing two of them, which are, the “Playing with Fire: Paintings by Carlos Almaraz” and “Found in Translation: Design in California and Mexico, 1915-1985.” These two exhibitions really brought forth a different perspective through history by tying in the experience that Chicanos, Indigenous, and Latino/a folks have had to learn to endure and navigate when Spaniard colonization and American industrialization began to take place. Also, I was able to view and listen online to two

Formal commercial arts entities are not sustainable forms of business in this area. Due to the significant distances between arts centers and existent lack of awareness and knowledge regarding the value of art, this Mid-Hudson Valley has reinvented many approaches and uses of

From what I could gather about the article, which I might add was not very well written in my opinion, the critical issues that are faced by the Arts Center include tapping into new "markets" or audiences that have yet to be discovered while also appealing to the core base of audiences who are repeat contributors to the success of the center. Therefore, the impetus on the center to place a high focus on the programming for the facility is

Saint Brigid 's Centre for the Arts in Ottawa was formally called St. Brigid’s Church as a Roman Catholic Church which was designed and built by architect John. R. Bowes and his son, James Bowes together. After 2007, the church was closed and now uses for all kinds of artistic, cultural and social events such as concerts, plays or art exhibitions. The architectural plan of the church was rectangular Roman basilica with twelve compound piers with transverse aisle on either side crossing the longitudinal nave in front of the sanctuary.

John Madden and his daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner founded the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) in 1981. When the museum first opened, there were nineteen art acquisitions on display, all public outdoor sculptures, establishing the mission statement of “making art a part of everyday life.” The first building the MOA offices resided in was Orchard Falls in Greenwood Village; since then, the museum moved four or five times within the Arapahoe county. Currently, the Museum of Outdoor Arts occupies a space in the Englewood Civic Center on the second floor across from the courts. In 2000, MOA moved from Greenwood Village to Englewood, incorporating indoor galleries, offices, and a workshop studio into the new location. Five to six staff members run the museum, hiring interns and independent contractors as needed. A board of trustees and an advisory committee guide the policies of the museum and make legal decisions. The board of trustees has four members consisting of the President of the Board, the Vice President, the Treasurer, and the Secretary, while the advisory committee has eight members.
