Decorative Arts Competition Handbook Adult Message from Creative Living As we initiate planning for the Florida State Fair six months in advance of the Fair's opening, the health, safety, and well-being of our visitors, our community, and our staff is of utmost importance to us during this time of heightened awareness over the COVID-19 virus.

Some of those plans include: Exhibit display layout to allow for social distancing Extended hours and reserving a block of time to drop off & pick up exhibit pieces. Social distancing for our Creative Living judges Baking competition to occur prior to fair to allow social distancing for exhibitors and judges.

  • Decorative Arts’
    Beyond terminology, or, the limits of ‘decorative arts’ Deborah L. Krohn George Kubler invites the reader to imagine a unified approach to the study of things in the first lines of his classic The Shape of Time, published in 1962: ‘Let us suppose that the idea of art can be expanded to embrace the whole range of man- made things, including all tools and writing in addition to the useless, beautiful, and poetic things of the world.’1 Following Kubler’s suggestion, supposing, in this case, that all ‘man-made things’ fall under the category of art, then the distinction implied by the question, ‘What is the role of the decorative arts within art historical discourse?’ loses much of its force. I’d like to tweak this question, posed here by Christina Anderson and Catherine Futter, to read something like ‘Do the various perspectives on cultural artefacts generated within material culture studies make the historical distinction between decorative arts and fine arts obsolete or redundant?’2 I will look first at the history of the term ‘decorative arts’ and what it has come to mean as a field of academic study as well as a collecting area. I will then reflect on an exhibition that I co-organized at the Bard Graduate Center Gallery in 2013 as a case study in both the utility and limitations of the category of decorative arts in the current intellectual climate. At the heart of this discussion is a firm conviction that the exploration of the forms of cultural production that populate our environment must not be fragmented by arbitrary and ill-defined categories.

  • Royal Tapestry Exhibition Travels to U.S. for the First Time
    Royal Tapestry Exhibition Travels to U.S. for the First Time "The Twins Share Out Loot". COLUMBIA, SC.- Royal Renaissance tapestries from one of the premier museums of fine and decorative arts in the world, the Kunsthistorisches Museum of Vienna, will be on view in South Carolina’s capital city. Imperial Splendor: Renaissance Tapestries from Vienna opens at the Columbia Museum of Art on Friday, May 21, a free admission day, and runs through September 19, 2010. The exhibition marks the first time these centuries-old tapestries have travelled to the United States. Each of these eight exquisite tapestries, intricately crafted, measures from 11- to 12-feet high and from 12- to 18-feet long. The tapestries came to the Kunsthistorisches Museum from the collections of King Matthias (Holy Roman Emperor 1612-1619) and King Francis I (1708-1765). The 16th-century Flemish tapestry collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum is widely known as one of the greatest in existence. Richly woven with silk, wool, and gold and silver thread, these eight newly restored wall hangings were made for the Hapsburg emperors at the famous Brussels atelier of Frans Geubels. They depict one of the most beloved secular themes in the 16th-century repertoire of Flemish tapestry making: the legendary founding of ancient Rome by Romulus and Remus. The series begins with the birth of the two brothers, when they were placed in a basket and set afloat on the Tiber River, and ends with the legendary rape of the Sabine women. For King Matthias and subsequent Habsburg emperors, the tapestries, displayed prominently, also served as an important venue for relating powerful messages about the ancestral roots of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg family.

  • European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels
    European Art & Decorative Arts Wall Text and Extended Labels FIRST FLOOR The Morgan Memorial The construction of the Morgan Memorial, completed in two sections in 1910 and 1915, more than doubled the size of the original Wadsworth Atheneum that opened in 1844. The building is dedicated to Junius Spencer Morgan, whose bust by William Wetmore Story stands at the top of the western stairs. Morgan was a Hartford man who founded a banking empire, and his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, chose to build the museum’s new wing as a tribute to his father. The total cost of the Memorial—over $1,400,000—represents the largest of J. Pierpont Morgan’s generous gifts. He spent over twelve years purchasing the several properties on which the Memorial stands, and was involved in its construction until his death in 1913. Benjamin Wistar Morris, a noted New York architect, was selected to design what was to be a new home for the Wadsworth Atheneum’s art collection. It was built in the grand English Renaissance style, and finished with magnificent interior details. Four years after J. Pierpont Morgan’s death, his son, J. Pierpont Morgan Jr., followed the wishes outlined in his father’s will and gave the Wadsworth Atheneum a trove of ancient art and European decorative arts from his father’s renowned collection. Living in the Ancient World Ordinary objects found at sites from the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East reveal a great deal about daily life in the ancient world. Utensils for eating and drinking, glassware, lamps, jewelry, pottery, and stone vessels disclose the details of everyday life.

  • Sustaining Cultural Identity Through Arabic Calligraphy: a Critical Reading of Nasser Al-Salem’S Artworks
    Islamic Heritage Architecture and Art III 211 SUSTAINING CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH ARABIC CALLIGRAPHY: A CRITICAL READING OF NASSER AL-SALEM’S ARTWORKS LINA M. KATTAN* University of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT Arabic calligraphy has always been the most prominent characteristic of Islamic art. Arab/Muslim artists – even non-Arabic speakers – appreciate Arabic calligraphy due to its correlation with the language of the Quran. Due to the commonly known prohibition of figuration, especially among classical Muslim scholars, many Arab/Muslim artists found an escape in the Arabic alphabet to avoid such a grey area. Either used as words or as sentences, Arabic inscription became the dominant pattern of traditional Islamic art. The inclusion of Arabic letters within the artistic composition has changed over the years, namely in style. Since the 1980s, the Arabic letter became the core element of contemporary Saudi art. In this paper, I argue that contemporary Saudi artists, such as in the case of Nasser al-Salem, rely on Arabic calligraphy to assert their Islamic identity and cultural heritage. This paper sheds light on one famous contemporary Saudi artist who chose the Arabic letter as his primary approach. While it may seem that al-Salem’s contemporary works are similar to traditional Islamic arts, they tremendously differ in concept, medium, and style. This study focuses only on three of his well-known calligraphic works. Generally, what characterizes contemporary Saudi art is the high-level of conceptuality and the noticeable influence of Western art techniques. al-Salem has always been interested in the conceptuality of the Arabic alphabet and its compositional configuration; therefore, his reliance on Arabic script continues to affirm his Saudi cultural heritage and Islamic Identity.
