Connecting Communities This innovative program brings superb artists into the community to collaborate on original artistic endeavors. Teens and adults are invited to participate in two exceptional projects that began in May and continue into the fall—storytelling with the fabulous Ex Fabula and the creation of street art with the remarkable Wooster Collective. © 2012 Ellagraph Studios /Kathrine Schleicher

Ex Fabula Everyone has a story to tell, and this dynamic collaboration with Milwaukee-based Ex Fabula brings the power of storytelling to Sheboygan. Be a part of a fascinating community narrative this summer and fall as Ex Fabula’s founders host neighborhood story slams and invite participants to share moments from their lives.

Anyone who can tell a true, five-minute story can participate. The saga concludes October 11–13 with an intergenerational storytelling spectacular at the Arts Center that will include live music by the band Count This Penny. Contact the Arts Center to find out how you can be involved.

ExAIR (Exhibition Artists-in-Residence) The Exhibition Artists-in-Residence program brings art to life by inviting artists to the Arts Center to talk with student and community groups about their work and to lead hands-on workshops focusing on their creative processes.

Lisa Lindvay (IL), whose work is included in The Kids Are All Right exhibition, will be in residence October 15–October 26. Her photography documents her family as they experience the absence of the mother due to mental illness.

Find full details and information on additional ExAIR residencies at www.jmkac.org (click on ”Residencies”).

Wooster Collective Workshops Ages 16–adult Art need not be confined to museums and galleries. Throughout the summer, New York City-based Wooster Collective brings talented street artists to Sheboygan to work with community members on viewing the cityscape as a canvas for public art and to share their expertise through hands-on workshops and collaborative projects.

WOOSTER COLLECTIVE: CHRIS STAIN Friday and Saturday, July 27 and 28, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Chris Stain (NY) will teach the art of the stencil in this engaging workshop. Stain’s large-scale urban murals often portray, with dignity and respect, those people we forget or fail even to notice. Workshop participants will learn to cut stencil self-portraits and apply these portraits to paper and selected sites around the Arts Center.

Tuition: $60 ($51 member)

WOOSTER COLLECTIVE: EDINA TOKODI Edina Tokodi (NY) applies moss and grass silhouettes to the sides of buildings to depict human and animal forms as “living” street art.

Following presentations and demonstrations of the processes, Tokodi will lead participants in the creation of “green” images to be placed in sites around the Arts Center.

Tuition: $60 ($51 member)

Fall is a great time to get started in a new creative endeavor.

Many beginning classes are offered, and then, throughout the winter and spring, you can build on skills and stretch your creativity through additional classes. Try ceramics, drawing, jewelry-making, and much more.

WEEKEND WORKSHOPS These rare opportunities to work with exceptional artists from across the nation or within our community are designed to nourish your creativity, expand your skills, and support your own artistic practice in an energized studio environment. Special rates are offered for college students. Call for more information.

METALSMITHING: CREATING A FAMILY BROOCH with MARCIA GORRA-PATEK—Ages 14–Adult Saturday and Sunday, November 10 and 11 10:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

Since the beginning of time, people have found ways to preserve and honor family memories by marking the final resting place of a loved one, wearing a locket containing a lock of hair, or having a portrait painted. In this class, participants will create a brooch using a personal photographic image.

ENCAUSTIC PAINTING: IMAGERY IN WAX with SARAH E. REHMER—Ages 14–adult Saturday, September 29, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Participants will explore encaustic painting using wax medium and paints (beeswax, dammar resin, and pigment). Techniques of image transfers, paper embedding, and mark making will be utilized to create a painting with visual depth, one of the most intriguing and special qualities of encaustic paint. Students will investigate the use of pastels and oil sticks to bring in washes of color between layers of wax. Participants should bring three laser prints or photocopies of an image to work with and any paper materials they would like to embed. All other materials will be supplied.

Trained as a graphic designer and photographer, artist Sarah E. Rehmer (IL) fell in love with the encaustic medium in 2005, combining it with an interest in old books and pages of text. Her work often deals with issues of memory loss and misplaced information.

Her work has been shown throughout the Chicago area, including the Coalition Gallery and the Noyes Cultural Center.

Tuition: $110 ($93 member)

Participants must purchase a supply kit that contains the materials (metals, findings, and some tools) needed to complete one brooch: $60 (basic) or $90 (complete). The complete kit enables more creative choices. After this workshop, participants will have a foundation of skills and tools with which to create additional metal pieces. Each student will need to bring one or more small (1- to 2-inch), highquality photographs of family to be included in the brooch.

Well-known in the Milwaukee area as a metalsmith and jewelry designer, Gorra-Patek has begun investigating drawing, pastels, painting with oils, and ceramics. She owned and operated a studio/ gallery in Cedarburg and Mequon for nearly 20 years and has taught art courses for Concordia University, Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, and UW-Milwaukee. She has shown her work nationally and internationally. She currently teaches art at Grafton High School.

Tuition: $120 ($102 member) Supply kit additional: $60 (basic) or $90 (complete)
