WarholGROWING UP As far back as I can remember, before I knew or cared who Andy Warhol was, teachers, doctors, friends’ parents, and especially art majors would bombard me with a list of questions once they heard my last name.

W “Are you really related?” Yes. “Have you ever met him?” No. He died in 1987; I was born in 1991.

“Do you have any of his paintings?” No.

“You kinda look like him.” If you say so.

“That’s cool that you are related.” I guess.

My name is Jon Warhol, and the American pop art icon Andy Warhol is my great-uncle.

For most of my life I didn’t have an understanding of Andy’s importance, or the origins of the Warhol family. It wasn’t until recently when I sat down with my father John and my uncle Mark that I felt an appreciation for the family name and history.

To better understand Andy, and Warhols in general, you must first know the name’s origin and where our people come from. >>

JON WARHOL is a 2013 graduate of Monmouth University and a resident of the Leonardo section of Middletown. He’s also a founding member of Sad Billy Magazine, plays in a rock duo, “The Dashers,” writes music reviews, and has performed and edited several short movies, including, “The Authority,” which was screened at the Middletown Arts Center. A modified version of “Growing Up Warhol” appeared online at the AsburyAnchor.com.

Creative alumni duo fostering a local arts revolution John Viggiano '07 and Jimmy Leslie '90 are the creative duo behind The Collective Art Tank in Asbury Park, an innovative endeavor that provides artists with subsidized space and materials to learn, teach and experience fine arts. Viggiano is a lifelong artist and founder of Freehold, NJ-based graphic design firm, Vigg Designs. Leslie, a faculty member at Monmouth University until 2009, is now the resident artist for Winsor & Newton and Liquitex Artist Materials where he runs the Artist Outreach Program, which provides crucial support to the Art Tank.

Viggiano first connected with Leslie, who was his painting instructor, while pursuing his bachelor’s degree. The two struck up a friendship, sharing Astudio time and networking as Viggiano pursued work as a professional fine artist and later earned his Masters of Fine Art degree from Montclair State University in 2013. In 2010, Viggiano decided to expand his business interests in the arts and opened Gallery 13 on Asbury Park’s storied Cookman Avenue. The gallery focused primarily on photography, even hosting several Monmouth University students, including Marissa Sotos '13, who is currently in her final year of graduate school at the ICP-Bard Program in Advanced Photographic Studies.

SUPPORTING ARTS EDUCATION The Art Tank is also becoming an important venue for arts education in the area. Viggiano says that a key reason the organization exists is to give future art instructors the opportunity to submit proposals for classes they’d like to teach. Because the space is already funded, teachers keep all of the course fees they charge. However, he advises that teachers make their rates affordable in order to encourage participation and accessible arts education. Instructors also gain teaching experience for their resume or portfolio. In the current economy, new graduates may be challenged in finding a job without at least two years of experience. Leslie’s corporate connections, including those at Winsor & Newton, support The Art Tank’s teachers, providing them with the benefit of their well-known name recognition. Viggiano and Leslie also take pride in giving back to Monmouth’s arts programs. In June 2014, Viggiano held a talk for design professor Mike Richison’s class about the life of a self-employed artist and designer. He answered questions and spoke about the realities of running an arts business, including :,1'0,//+27'2*6/21*%5$1&+1-%<-,00New York City with several art projects. “It’s nice to give these kids a blank canvas [with] no “My time at the Collective Art Tank has been amazing. apprehensions.

Another benefit for artists involved with The Art Tank is the potential for effective networking. The founders believe that artists need to find like-minded peers and assist each other. They also pride themselves on possessing a trait that not all artists have - business drive. The founders try to help artists learn how to turn their talent and passion into a viable business. “It’s not everywhere you can find a co-op studio where everything from canvases to brushes and paint is provided for you. You can come in here, make a masterpiece and walk out the door with it. We don’t ask for anything in return besides that you enjoy the products and give us what feedback you can,” Viggiano says.

BRINGING THE WORLD OF WORDS TO MONMOUTH W Joyce Carol Oates

A traditional, short biography of Joyce Carol Oates would read along the lines of something like this: she is the author of more than one hundred books, including novels, short story collections, poetry volumes, plays, essays, and criticism, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys and Blonde. Among her many honors are the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction and the National Book Award. Oates is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University, and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. Oates is, beyond doubt, both talented and prolific, however, she herself often comments that her output adds up to more than a shopping list of published works. She is lauded as a writers’ writer and is widely viewed as a passionate and inventive author who never retreats from the dark corners of life. But perhaps it is best left to Oates herself to comment on her art. In a recent interview with the Washington Post, she said: “I think art is the commemoration of life in its variety. The novel … is “historic” in its embodiment in a specific place and time and its suggestion that there is meaning to our actions. Without the stillness, thoughtfulness, and depths of art, and without the ceaseless moral rigors of art, we would have no shared culture — no collective memory.”

Richard Blanco is the fifth inaugural poet of the United States whose reading of One Today at the swearing in ceremony for the second term of President Barak Obama was a defining moment not just for the country, but also for several specific populations. Blanco is the first Latino, the first openly gay-identified inaugural poet, and the youngest person to hold that position. He is aware the poem’s commission held significance on many levels culturally and nationally, as well as personally for Blanco. Self-described as made in Cuba, assembled in Spain, imported to the United States, Blanco has said that something of the immigrants’ displacement is at the heart of his poetry and that the immigrant experience is central to what it can mean to be an American. In an interview with the Associated Press, Blanco said, “I finally realized that my story, my mother’s stories, all those millions of stories of faces that were looking at me at the podium, that is America and I finally realized that I'm not the other.” He was also the dutiful son who became a civil engineer. But always for Blanco, a love of words as a means to explore identity and culture led him to earn his MFA and embark on his transformation from “other” to poet. For him he said the transformation has meant he works at capturing the human spirit and condition, in all of its complexities. He believes profoundly that poetry is a vehicle for opening up minds and encouraging us all to see beyond our differences to share in the universal experience of our humanity.
