  • Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years
    Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years by Ron Michael, Curator, Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery Extended Essay - August 2012 Seeking Beauty Henry Varnum Poor is an important name not only for those interested in the history of Kansas or American art, but for Angular detail of Self Portrait, circa those who celebrate bountiful lives. Determined to follow his own 1917, lithograph, size unknown. path, he was committed to a life based on unadorned pursuits and a constant search for beauty. He once wrote to friend and fellow artist Birger Sandzén, “I want to make beautiful things so as to make our living as beautiful as possible.”1 Developing and using his multi-faceted talents, he also lived a life of great variety. At various times in his life he combined one or more professions as an artist, craftsman, builder, writer, teacher, organizer, administrator, evaluator and more. He was the perennial “jack-of-all-trades,” or perhaps more appropriately, a “renaissance man.” Just within the arts he explored a vast array of differing media – oils, watercolors, ceramics, pastels, drawings, frescos, etchings, lithography, woodworking, textiles, and illustration. He seemed to turn everything he touched into art. Perhaps nowhere is this better evident than the house he designed and constructed near New City, New York. Dubbed Crow House it was conceived as a place of comfort for his family – away from, but still accessible to, the bustling metropolis of New York and other Eastern cities. As he continued to write in his letter to Birger Sandzén, “The joy and satisfaction in making the house has been tremendous, and the future work of carving and painting our huge beams and stones will be great.

  • NEWARK LAUNCHES 'SUMMER FUN in the PARK' Free, Fun, Family
    NEWARK LAUNCHES ‘SUMMER FUN IN THE PARK’ Free, fun, family-friendly programs at public parks will celebrate cultural life as the community comes ‘Back Together Again’ Newark, NJ–July 27, 2021— Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Newark City Parks Foundation, Inc., today announced “Summer Fun in the Park,” a vibrant series of free outdoor events that will activate Newark’s public parks, highlight the city’s thriving cultural life, and celebrate the return of in-person gatherings as the community comes “ Back Together Again.” Newark City Parks Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization envisioned by Mayor Baraka and passed by Council resolution to provide maintenance, programming, and advocacy for Newark’s downtown parks. The newly formed Foundation and its Board of Trustees work with partners, stakeholders, residents, and local government to raise funds to maintain the parks and provide programs that bring arts and culture, health and wellness, economic development, and education to public spaces. The Foundation is seeded with $1.2 million from the City of Newark, and a four-year $200,000 commitment from Prudential Financial. Now through early fall, events at Washington Park, Riverfront Park, Lincoln Park, Military Park, and Mulberry Commons will share the breadth of Newark’s cultural energy — outdoors and accessible to all. Watch free movies and theater. Pack a picnic or grab a bite at a food truck. Create art. Celebrate reading. Dance, workout, and stretch. Learn about health and wellness. Connect, relax, and play outside. “We are working hard with our public and private partners to enable our residents to enjoy ‘Summer Fun in the Park,’ which includes exciting activities like concerts, movies, health and wellness events, games, and children’s programming,” Mayor Baraka said.

    The Newark Museum of Art Position Announcement Social Media Freelancer (Temporary) Background: Founded in 1909, The Newark Museum of Art (“the Museum”) is one of the most influential museums in the United States and the largest art and education institution in New Jersey. Its extensive collections, which include art from around the world as well as significant holdings of science, technology and natural history, rank 12th in size nationally. The Museum is dedicated to artistic excellence, education and community engagement with an overarching commitment to broadening and diversifying arts participation. A cultural anchor institution in Newark for more than a century, the Museum advances its mission by operating in the public trust as a museum of service, and as a leader in connecting objects and ideas to the needs and wishes of its constituencies. The Museum’s renowned art collections have the power to educate, inspire and transform individuals of all ages, and the local, regional, national and international communities that it serves. In the words of founder John Cotton Dana, “a good museum attracts, entertains, arouses curiosity, leads to questioning and thus promotes learning.” The Museum responds to the evolving needs and interests of the diverse audiences it serves by providing exhibitions, programming, a research library, partnerships and resources designed to enrich people’s lives. The Museum’s collections are presented in 91 galleries housed on a seven-acre campus that encompasses the Ballantine House, a Victorian-era mansion—a National Historic Landmark, the Dreyfuss Memorial Garden, and Horizon Plaza. The Museum also features the Alice and Leonard Dreyfuss Planetarium as well as the MakerSPACE, a dedicated maker studio and exhibition space that offers interactive, hands-on activities for visitors all ages that integrate the arts with STEM learning.

  • ARTS VIBRANCY INDEX REPORT VI: Hotbeds of America’S Arts and Culture
    SEPTEMBER 2020 ARTS VIBRANCY INDEX REPORT VI: Hotbeds of America’s Arts and Culture Zannie Giraud Voss, Glenn Voss and Rebecca Johnson, with Kady Epley Image courtesy of Pony Box Dance Theatre, Long Beach, CA. Pony Box Dance Theatre at Disney Hall. Image credit: Tracy Kumono Dance Theatre at Disney Hall. Image credit: Tracy Box Beach, CA. Pony Dance Theatre, Long Box Image courtesy of Pony Executive Summary For the sixth consecutive year, SMU DataArts, the National Center for Arts Research, is pleased to provide the Arts Vibrancy Index Report, which draws upon a set of data-informed indices to recognize arts-vibrant communities across the United States. We acknowledge and honor the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic and recent racial and social justice uprisings have altered U.S. communities in unparalleled ways since 2019, the year that data in this report draws upon. Arts and cultural organizations across the country were forced to close their doors in March 2020 due to COVID-19. Few have reopened and it is still uncertain when the remainder will be able to follow suit as of the publication of this year’s report. Many arts organizations in forced closure have adapted and served their communities’ needs in innovative ways in response to stay-at-home orders, new norms of social distancing, and protests. So why report on arts vibrancy from a pre-pandemic time? At a moment of such considerable environmental hostility and uncertainty about the future, we offer this report as a celebration and reminder of the arts’ enduring importance, resiliency, and vibrancy.

  • New Jersey State House Public Art Tour
    New Jersey State House Public Art Tour njstatehousetours.org About The Art Tour In 2018, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Public Buildings Arts Inclusion Act of 1978. The Act stipulates that up to 1.5% of construction costs on new or renovated State buildings may be allocated for commissioned artwork at that site. The program’s goal is to enhance the quality and aesthetic effect of State buildings by incorporating works of art into the architectural design. To mark the anniversary, the Tour Office created a special Art Tour to highlight some of the collection of public art in the State House and Annex. “ It is my hope that the viewer will gain a fresh perspective and a sense of civic pride. “ – J. KENNETH LEAP Special artwork was commissioned during the construction of the State House Annex from 1927-31. Newer works credited to the PuBlic Buildings Arts Inclusion Act were installed during the 1990s when the Annex was renovated for legislative committee rooms, committee chair offices, and legislative staff. The building previously housed the Judicial Branch, State Museum, and State LiBrary. During the renovation, new office space was added to the south wing of the capitol. Former New Jersey State Museum Our Art Tour begins in the west wing of the State House Annex. In 1929, this wing housed the State Museum, commissioned by the New Jersey Legislature in 1895 to collect and exhibit specimens in natural history and archeology. Remnants of art created for the Museum space remain. In 1992, new artworks were blended with the old as part of the Public Arts Inclusion Act.
