HMA Executive Director Geoffrey K. Fleming poses beside Childe Hassam's Windmill at Sundown, East Hampton, which was a gift to HMA from Ruth Woods Dayton as part of The Daywood Collection. Geoff’s first day at HMA was July 1.

I am delighted to have arrived here in Huntington and to have taken up my position at the Huntington Museum of Art. As many of you know, the museum has a rich collection and an important history as a place for people of all ages to learn about the arts and cultures from around the world.

We have a number of interesting and important exhibits and programs soon to open at the museum. First up is Water, Water Everywhere: Paean to a Vanishing Resource, which will include videos created by 41 different artists all that relate to the subject of water. In this day and age when water is quickly becoming a commodity that is fought over, this video exhibition will help the visitor understand the changing nature of its use through the eyes of artists from around the world.

This will be followed by the reintroduction of the long-awaited Exhibition 280, which will include contemporary works from artists in West Virginia and from the neighboring states of Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. This juried exhibition includes nearly every kind of media and will certainly provide viewers with something that will inspire them.

Later this autumn, an exhibition documenting 25 years of collecting by the Fitzpatrick Society will open. For those unfamiliar with their work, members of the Society provide funds for the acquisition of new artworks for the museum collection. Our devoted volunteer Don Harper left an endowment for the Society so that in the future they could acquire even more important works for the collection. This exhibition will showcase their achievements over the past two and a half decades.

The end of the year will be rounded out by an exhibit of the work of William Brouillard and a small exhibit of works selected by trustees. Be on the watch for our Halloween-themed tour – Harry Potter and the Permanent Collection – which takes place on October 27. The ever-popular Holiday Open House – which this year is presented by Camden Park – will take place on December 6 and will include a performance by the Huntington Dance Theatre, among others.

I look forward to meeting many of you as you join us at these wonderful exhibits and programs.

4 The Fitzpatrick Society: 25 Years of Gifts to the Collection

Daine Gallery October 24, 2015 - February 7, 2016 Opening reception takes place on Sunday, October 25, 2015, from 2 to 4 p.m. This exhibit will be accompanied by a catalogue, which will be available for purchase in the Museum Shop. The Huntington Museum of Art owes its existence to the generosity of Herbert Fitzpatrick, a local attorney who had a strong desire to enrich the cultural life of his adopted hometown. His gifts of 52 acres and an extensive collection of artwork provided the foundation for the effort to establish the Huntington Galleries, which opened in 1952. It was thus very appropriate that an organization that was created in 1989 to help foster the growth of the museum’s art collection was named the Fitzpatrick Society. The Society enlists the help of interested art lovers who pay Olivia Parker (American, b. 1941), Circles, 1999. Digital image; membership dues to belong to the group. The dues are then used image: 31" x 38"; framed: 34 1/4" x 41 1/2" x 2". Funds provided by to purchase additional artworks for the collection. A number of The Fitzpatrick Society, 2000.5. potential purchases are displayed at the Society’s annual meeting, and members are allowed to cast a vote to pick their favorite work. The leading vote-getter is then purchased by the museum and added to the collection. Depending on available revenue, some years have seen multiple items acquired through Society funds. The Fitzpatrick Society received a substantial boost in its ability to purchase works of art when it became the beneficiary of a bequest from the estate of longtime docent and museum supporter Don Harper. Mr. Harper, a Huntington native, enjoyed a lengthy career in government service in Washington, D.C. Following his retirement, he returned to live in his hometown and became a dedicated volunteer at the museum. The bequest that followed his passing in 2003 specified that a large portion of the funds from his estate should be used as an endowment to benefit the activities of the Fitzpatrick Society. In addition to its primary focus upon enriching the museum’s art collection, the Donald B. Harper Endowment also supports scholarly and educational initiatives at the Museum, including publishing and docent education and enrichment. Since its first purchases were made in 1990, more than 30 works have been added to the museum collection through the efforts of the Society. These works mirror the diverse nature of the HMA collection and include everything from a centuries-old Inuit story board to contemporary works on paper, old master prints, photographs, paintings and studio glass. Several of the acquisitions have aided the Museum’s attempts to collect representative works Abastenia St. Leger Eberle (American, 1878-1942), The Interruption, by visiting artists in the Walter Gropius Master Artist Series. c. 1912.

5 Courtyard Series: Kathleen Kneafsey

By Kathleen Kneafsey

Two bronze pieces, made while I was in graduate school, contain the same references to nest and house as much of my sculptural clay work. I had never worked in bronze and was very interested in exploring it. What I found was the process of bronze casting shares many of the same aspects that I enjoy about working in clay. There are many steps in the process of making things in clay, and I enjoy the fact that you have to be both diligent and patient. I also enjoy putting pieces and parts together. Working in bronze shares all of these qualities, with many steps to the final piece. To create these particular bronze pieces, I began with the building of the nest and house out of sticks. Then I made several investments, or molds of the pieces, including the legs. The investments were then placed into a kiln, where the actual sticks were burned out, leaving a void to be filled with bronze. Next, bronze was then poured into the investment and allowed to cool. Once cool, the bronze pieces were broken out of the investment and cleaned. I then welded the pieces and parts together to create the final forms. You can see how these multiple steps are very similar to the making, firing, glazing and firing again of clay pieces. The transition from clay to bronze as materials and processes was an easy and enjoyable one for me. Bronze also has the one quality that I love so much about clay. While both materials are very rigid once they are completed works, they still reveal the fluidity and softness that they possessed during their making.

10 Walter Gropius Master Artist Series Presents William Brouillard

Exhibition: November 7, 2015 - February 14, 2016 Public Presentation: February 11, 2016, at 7 p.m. “The Eclectic Table” Workshop will take place February 11, 2016, at 7p.m. Workshop Description: Standard dinnerware is designed and made as a “service”. Conventional services are made up of multiple place settings. There can be numerous parts to a place setting. The minimum number of parts is usually three, with as many as thirty parts in some formal settings. In this workshop, participants will explore non-traditional compositions of tableware that encompass variety in their design, fabrication and surface. The workshop will begin with a collaborative design session, then each student will present designs and prototypes for their “Eclectic Table”. Images of table-related works from historical and contemporary models will be shown as a reference. Using basic wheel techniques and slab construction, participants will originate and fabricate place settings of dinnerware and table-related vessels, using earthenware clay with majolica decoration as the basis for fabrication and surface. We will finish with greenware prototypes. Students are encouraged to come to the workshop with a statement of what you want your tableware to embody, referencing historical or contemporary source materials in clay and any other research materials, such as books, websites, music, or food recipes that are related to your project research.

15 Nature Programs at the Huntington Museum of Art

The C. Fred Edwards Conservatory opened in 1996 and is West Virginia's only plant conservatory. It features tropical and subtropical plants that are warm-growing, non-native plants. The plants in the collection fall into four general categories: Orchids, Agriculturally Important, Fragrant, and Unusual. In addition, the conservatory functions as a mini- ecosystem where plants and animals live together to the benefit of one another. This mutually beneficial relationship is apparent in two of our three fish ponds, which function without filtration. Due to the presence of a sculpture, the Koi pond does contain a filtration system. The Museum's 52-acre property includes more than 40 acres of hillside that is retained in its natural woodland state. This is where you'll find our nature trail – a well-marked, maintained trail approximately one mile in length. The trail has a variety Shown is a peaceful path in the C.

HMA’s trail tour, called, a Walk in the Woods, takes place spring through fall when the weather is comfortable and agreeable. HMA’s Nature Docent program provides training on touring techniques as well as information about the flora and fauna within our wooded trails. In addition, Nature Docents help to keep the trails in good shape for touring. Nature camp has taken place at HMA for decades. Campers enjoy walks on the trails, learning tree identification and studying root formations, among other things. A favorite activity is exploration in the creek. In addition campers enjoy time inside participating in studio activities. Learning how to use a microscope and dissecting owl pellets are just two of the really exciting indoor activities.

Students, led by Nature Docent AJ Stovitz, view the woodlands from the Othel Rogers Overlook on the nature trail.
