It is designed 1 to collaborate with all entities in the community. The Laramie Public Art Inaugural Plan is reinforced by a surge of community interest in diverse forms of art that involve visual, performing and literature artists. Surveys and in person interviews 2 confirmed that people in Laramie see public art as an important part of a vibrant community. The Public Art Advisory Committee is Laramie’s Public Art working group that plans, produces, 3 and reviews public art projects and initiatives. To grow public art in Laramie and implement this plan, a staff person is essential to serve 4 as a public art resource for the community. A range of projects should be considered to integrate art into design, engage the community, create social spaces, engage the environment, elevate mundane places into memorable ones, 5 and celebrate what is unique to Laramie. Laramie’s gateways, Downtown and West Side, and City parks are key locations for initial public art 6 projects, as reinforced by community participation in the plan. Community outreach and engagement is expected and necessary at all stages of public art 7 planning and implementation. Educational programs and resources are essential to build capacity among the area artists, 8 and to communicate clearly about public art to residents and visitors. All of the expansive ideas outlined in the Plan require capacity and time to implement. A five-year 9 work plan will be developed by Laramie Public Art and updated annually with community input. At the end of the day, implementing the Plan should be fun, using the strategies and ideas to create the plan as a springboard for action.

  • West Michigan Pike Route but Is Most Visible Between Whitehall and Shelby
    Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 198 Oceana Drive, Rothbury New England Barn & Queen Anne Residence Hart-Montague Trail, Rothbury The trail is twenty-two miles of the former rail bed of the Pere Marquette Railroad. It was made a state park in 1988. The railroad parallels much of the West Michigan Pike route but is most visible between Whitehall and Shelby. New Era New Era was found in 1878 by a group of Dutch that had been living in Montague serving as mill hands. They wanted to return to an agrarian lifestyle and purchased farms and planted peach orchards. In 1947, there were eighty-five Dutch families in New Era. 4856 Oceana, New Era New Era Canning Company The New Era Canning Company was established in 1910 by Edward P. Ray, a Norwegian immigrant who purchased a fruit farm in New Era. Ray grew raspberries, a delicate fruit that is difficult to transport in hot weather. Today, the plant is still owned by the Ray family and processes green beans, apples, and asparagus.

New Era is characterized by a number of vernacular concrete block buildings. Prior to 1900, concrete was not a common building material for residential or commercial structures. Experimentation, testing and the development of standards for cement and additives in the late 19th century, led to the use of concrete a strong reliable building material after the turn of the century. Concrete was also considered to be fireproof, an important consideration as many communities suffered devastating fires that burned blocks of their wooden buildings Oceana County Historic Resource Survey 200 in the late nineteenth century.

  • DIGITAL ART and FEMINISM: a SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz
    DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz 10 DIGITAL ART AND FEMINISM: A SURREAL RELATIONSHIP Anne Swartz Many of the images in this exhibition reveal similar interests, themes, and aesthetics to those seen in feminist Art.1 The artists— (PLOLD)RUVWUHXWHU-HQQLIHU+DOO&ODXGLD+DUW<DHO.DQDUHN-HDQHWWH/RXLH5DQX0XNKHUMHH0DU\%DWHV1HXEDXHU0DULH Sivak, Camille Utterback, Adrianne Wortzel, and Janet Zweig—rely on technology as a tool to explore geopolitics, geological phenomenon, obsolete media, data streams and sets, illusion, shifting identities, phantasmagorias, eroticism, bodies, landscapes, geography, and memory. They are not afraid to confront assumptions or propaganda, even challenging conventions and traditions. They show us diverse, alternate domains and generate narratives of augmented worlds. Common to their artworks is the surreal, employed innovatively and underscored by the radical politics of feminism to change society in order to advance it. It is a kind of new romanticism where the real is meshed with fantasy so that the boundaries between the two dissolve. These artists have created pieces that require the viewer’s time; scanning and experiencing the entirety of their respective works over time transports one to their wild and imagined realms. It is easy to lose one’s bearings with these works because they rely upon mysterious disorientation to the viewer’s prosaic and commonplace experiences. It is a situation that is wholly based on the personal, which has been one of the cornerstone themes of feminist art. Digital art has an inherent feminist issues to it. Artist Mary Bates Neubauer termed the “new macho challenge for this generation RIZRPHQ>LV@GLJLWDOWHFKQRORJ\>EHFDXVH@WKH¿HOGLVVWLOOGRPLQDWHGE\PHQ´2 Utilizing technology to make art is, interestingly enough, one of the aspects of the programming world’s fascination with digital art.3 For the artists in this exhibition, digital technologies are ways to express content that is gender related.
