07 / October–December 2015 thewestmoreland.org / 08 Connecting Creatively

The Center for Creative Connections, a new and welcoming interactive space, will be a focal point for visitors to the Museum. Located on the second floor in the west wing, the Center includes four activities designed to engage visitors of all ages in learning more about the art in the Museum’s galleries. Each activity has been thoroughly researched, prototyped and produced through a collaborative process between Quatrefoil Associates of Laurel, Maryland and The Westmoreland’s Director of Education & Visitor Engagement Joan McGarry. The activities offer a variety of tactile approaches to inspire play, exploration and discovery. Each activity gives visitors the opportunity to make in depth discoveries about the works they saw in the galleries and encourages visitors to go back and take a closer look after having made some new, meaningful and often entertaining connections to the art. The following activities are featured in the space: Stop Motion Animation, which provides the opportunity to make the art come “alive” through use of iPads and a selection of backgrounds and characters; Large Drawing Glass, where visitors can engage in lively art making sessions as both the artist and model by drawing life-size portraits; Build a Bridge, which features a special table depicting Pittsburgh’s three rivers and allows visitors to explore the design and engineering implicit in building different styles of bridges that can be seen in the Museum’s industry-related paintings as well as in the Pittsburgh opposite: Bridge examples from the Build a Bridge activity to be area today; and Create a Landscape, a topographical representation of a featured in the new Center for landscape with interchangeable blocks for visitors to recreate our region’s Creative Connections transition from an agrarian to industrial society during the heyday of the steel top: Joan McGarry, Director of Education and Visitor Engagement, with Quatrefoil industry.

John “Jack” A. Robertshaw, Jr.

July 28, 1926–September 12, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that the board, staff and volunteers of The Westmoreland Museum of American Art say goodbye to Jack Robertshaw, a good friend and generous benefactor. Jack and Anne became members of the Museum in 1959, with Jack following his father as a member of the Board of Trustees in 1975. He retired from the Board after 30 plus years, including serving as Chairman from 1982–1996. Jack was both visionary and practical. He liked to buy art for the collection, but he also provided funds for computers and infrastructure. He supported innovation and new ideas. When he stepped down from the Board in Windframe, a kinetic sculpture by artist Tim Prentice, was installed 2006, it was because he wanted to make room for new perspectives. The Board named him Honorary Trustee, a designation created just for him. Jack’s legacy on the south wall of The Westmoreland’s west wing in early will live on through The New Westmoreland with our only regret being that he September. The sculpture was funded by The Westmoreland would never enter its doors. Society and additional donations.
