119 Walnut Street OF DELAWARE VALLEY, INC. Haddonfield, NJ 08033 Founded 1962 2016- 2017 School Year Newsletter Spring 2017 A Time for Growth and Change Over the last six years my time on the board has been rather intriguing, somewhat like when salted caramel became a flavor and you weren’t quite sure whether you were going to think it was just okay, or fall in love. The contacts within the Philadelphia Art Community, dining with artists and educators, the random museums and venues unseen, or the topics where a new appreciation was gained were unexpected treats. The insight needed for of a non-profit and of course the wonderful friends and experiences have been both stimulating and sustaining. As my term as president comes to a close, a smile forms. Yes there will be more free time, but that my fellow members, is not the reason! Simply put I am glad that I did not resist. In life we sometimes resist what is a potential chance for growth, which often coincidently occurs when we move outside of our comfort zone. Isn’t that what we instruct our students to Danielle Clarissa Blodget, President do when they seem to detest art? Over the past few decades society has reminded us that we are overbooked and overscheduled and must learn to say no. Which in many cases is of course warranted. Yet the reality of everyone saying “no ” can result in an undesired consequence. I shall resist from commenting on the political parallels of late. Joining a board often makes some of us, myself included, murmur “ I am so not the board type” So my smile grows wider because nothing blew up, nothing scandalous happened and I was not awake endless nights prepping for AGTS. I picked up a few skills, padded my resume and made lifelong friends, all while being surrounded by the world of art.

As Spring unfolds we find this representation of growth and change in many works, whether in nature’s landscape or man’s activities documented through celebration and hard work as we look forward to brighter more productive days. The proverbial out with the old, in with the new comes to mind and perhaps is apropos in regards to my and other board members departures.

During the winter months we have been assembling the information received from districts and looking at the long term growth of AGTS as we plan for the coming term. One of the items that has faced our organization and is of growing concern is the ability to continually attract new members both at the district level as well as the board. So we bring this dilemma to you the entire membership in hopes that a few will take the chance, step out of your comfort zone and reach out to the contact information provided Sometimes that new flavor turns out to be rather satisfying! Much love to all of you and thank you for touching my life. Dani

Note: You will fall in love with your new President Lisa Gressen. Please join me in welcoming her at the June Portfolio Exchange, she will be the warm brilliant one standing at the podium with a twinkle in her eyes.

by Mary Donaldson

The Council Rock chapter is celebrating its 35th birthday this year. We were founded as an off-shoot of the Central Bucks chapter and with CB’s help we started recruiting and trooping at only one school, by Mary Donaldson Sol Feinstone Elementary, in 1983. Our district has grown and we now serve ten elementary schools with our sixteen members, including former AGTS President Jace Garreth, an original member, who Art Goes to School receives continued support took a twenty year leave to return to work. As soon as she retired she came right back to our chapter. from the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance In our 35 years, many of our members have served in Board positions and this year Lisa Gressen The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, has will be our fourth AGTS president. granted Art Goes to School of Delaware Valley a program stream grant in the amount of $2383. This is our second year as a program stream recipient. As a chapter chairman, I have learned that all of our chapters have that one thing in common, Through our Partner in the Arts, the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, Art Goes to School has friendships. We may be of different ages and stages in life, but our love of art forms the foundation received grants for specific projects including the addition of public art, works by PAFA affiliated artists, of lifetime friendships. We all enjoy each other’s company and conversation and look for ways to Philadelphia Mural Arts Project, Pennsylvania artists and multicultural art. Because we had successfully extend that beyond our training and prep workshops. In our CR chapter, one of us will occasionally demonstrated our work in the community for over three years of grant cycles, we were invited to become part of the PCA “Program Stream’, that is, organizations that are supported in their mission by the send out an e-mail blast asking, “Who’s up for lunch?” And it’s no surprise to see ten of us arrive in State of Pennsylvania. What that means to us is that we are recognized by the State of Pennsylvania the lobby of the local restaurant, eager to get chatting. as an arts organization consistently serving the community and providing opportunities in the arts to Pennsylvania residents. This is a vote of confidence from the State and from the United States through its National Endowment for the Arts’ funding for PCA. In 1999, we suffered the loss of our then chapter chairman, Janet P. Tanner, to breast cancer. We all felt the void in our number and wanted to honor Janet’s memory and dedication to AGTS with What makes this grant so important to us is that it comes as funding for our operating expenses. These a scholarship that year to a graduating high school senior who would be continuing to study art in PCA Program Stream grants are automatically renewed annually. Art Goes to School can include our PCA grant in our general fund projected revenue every year. We do not have to complete a special college. The idea had been to do this once, with a small gift to one senior. Our hearts warmed to project. The grant is meant to help us continue to do what we do. We will have the PCA “Arts” logo the idea and we donated $3000 to the fund that first year, which was divided into three scholarships. on all of our printed and web materials. Notice all the other places the logo appears – on the doors However, each check mailed to our treasurer contained a note asking that this become an annual of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Kimmel Center, the Barnes Foundation - and our newsletter! Congratulations to us! award, honoring both Janet and Art Goes to School, as an influencing presence in Council Rock. Since 1999, our district has split into two high schools, and we have been able to divide scholarship between Council Rock High Schools North and South and have awarded over $42,000. Donations come from Janet’s family, our current and former members and sometimes to recognize a special occasion in a member’s life. Our chapter members have set the criteria; the recipients must be planning to study art, art history or art education in college. But we leave the choosing of the recipients to the high school art teachers. All of our recipients have written to us expressing their gratitude that members of the community are supporting their continuing study of the arts at the college Proud partner with the James A. Michener Art Museum since 1994. Each year, the James A. Michener Art Museum generously donates prints from their permanent collection along with curriculum materials Our members all enjoy that we not only provide little kids with opportunities to think about and talk and information on the artists for inclusion into our portfolios. There are currently 13 chapters who aboutto art history and art appreciation but also that we recognize the importance of supporting the receive these works: Central Bucks, Council Rock, Pennsbury, Morrisville, Centennial in Bucks arts in our community by helping the next generation go on to careers in the arts.

The first group included: A Young Tiger Playing with its Mother by Eugene Delacroix, The Fox Hunt by Homer and The Return by Renee Magritte. I discussed realism, personification, storytelling, fiction, etc as a means for the children to see that the painter is telling us a story much like an author does with a book. It is up to us to look for the clues and figure out what the story could be: The Mom tiger sitting calmly while the tiger cub playfully tries to get her attention, just as the kids probably do when they get home from school.
