Legacy Directors are individuals who have served on the Board of Directors for at least ten years and who have made significant contributions to the success of South Shore Arts. Individuals are elected to the position of Legacy Director in recognition of their long and valuable service to South Shore Arts.

South Shore Arts programs are provided with support from the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

A Message from the Executive Director It’s been awhile, and we’ve been busier than you might think. While the CVPA was closed for two months from midMarch through mid-May due to the coronavirus, South Shore Arts remained closed until June 15, consistent with the State’s guidelines for reopening cultural institutions. At that time, with safety guidelines in place, our offices, gallery and gift shop opened weekdays, from 10am to 2pm. The pandemic resulted in losses of well over $250,000 due to the cancellation of the Beaux Arts Ball, spring classes and loss of Gift Shop sales. But, earlier in the year, we were fortunate to have received a generous bequest—one that was almost equal to these losses—from the estate of longtime donor Marjorie Mills. That was money we would have liked to have kept untouched, a rainy-day fund to be used sometime in the far-off future. In addition, we applied for and received a Payroll Protection loan from the SBA to help keep staff paid and in place until the end of June. Because we had been a recent grant recipient from the National Endowment for the Arts for our Urban Legends series of exhibits in the 2018-19 exhibit season, South Shore Arts also qualified for and was successful in our request of $50,000 in CARES Act funding from the NEA. As a result, exhibits and classes could pick up right away again in June—in the case of our Maurice Sendak exhibit, literally right where it left off. The pandemic’s impact put a temporary halt to the exhibit’s ongoing tour, and we are able to continue showing it until September 13. The Tri-County Junior/Senior High School Show, one of our most popular annual events, went online, where it

remains, for viewers to enjoy. Approximately 500 students are represented from twelve high schools, four middle schools, and the new South Shore Arts Teen Arts Board, and, thanks to our generous donors, were awarded $6,500 in prizes and scholarships! And, throughout it all, people kept buying South Shore posters online from the Gift Shop, even though it took us three months to fulfill their orders! When I became executive director in October, 1993, we recognized, as an organization, that our relatively new home in the Center for Visual & Performing Arts was a dream come true. However, it also exposed challenges that were not necessarily apparent to us at the time, not until the Indiana Arts Commission, then a minor funder and not yet the parent partner that it would become four years later when we became its Regional Arts Partner for Lake, Porter and La Porte counties, called us a “country club arts organization,” in light of our programming that seemed to be geared exclusively for a privileged class of people in a multimillion dollar building. And, what was wrong with that, we might have thought at the time? But, given this wake-up call, we immediately took stock of our region’s diversity and identified ways to serve it, making our facilities and our programming more accessible to all. We created a mission statement that committed us to creating connections among the diverse populations that surrounded us. The everykid program was one result. But in light of recent developments, we have recognized that we need to do more and have developed the following statement:

South Shore Arts stands against racism and bigotry in all of its manifestations. We are deeply saddened by the violence and forces that seek to divide us as a community. We recognize the value and importance of diversity. As a leader in Northwest Indiana arts, we have a responsibility to artistically and creatively empower the communities that we serve who have historically been marginalized, and in many cases, have been disproportionately the victims of violence. We will be more representative of our constituents. We depend on our expanded community to join with us, to hold us to account, and to share in creating a more inclusive and expansive organization. At times, we will make mistakes and fall short. Together we can build a more inclusive and socially responsible vision for the arts and Northwest Indiana. It seems that, over the years, I’ve become one of those people who use pictures of themselves that don’t look anything like them anymore. I used to make fun of guest artists at Symphony concerts who were twice the size or age of the person pictured in the program. Maybe it’s a sign that it’s time to reassess. Therefore, at the end of the current fiscal year that began on July 1, 2020 and ends June 30, 2021, I will retire as Executive Director of South Shore

Arts and, by extension, the Symphony. Micah Bornstein was recently named Deputy Director by the board and has begun to take on a range of executive duties. Going forward, I will continue to help out as I am able with fundraising and other projects on an as-needed basis. I’m hoping for a title that has the word “Dowager” in it. So that’s the news from here. Just wanted to catch up. Hope you all continue to make the best of it!

Celebrating an Artist’s Lifetime of Work The South Shore Arts fall exhibit will feature a career retrospective of celebrated local artist and educator Barbara M. Meeker. The artist has graciously designated all sales of her artwork from the exhibit to benefit South Shore Arts and Hospice of the Calumet Area. Born in Peru, Indiana, to a family who inspired creativity, Meeker’s mother was one of her greatest influences. A painter and drawer herself, Meeker’s mother saw an opportunity for her daughter to be an artist and encouraged a career in that direction. Meeker earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from DePauw University in 1952. After graduating, she embarked on a career, teaching art in the Hammond public schools from 1952-57. She taught private art lessons in her home studio to students looking to further their art education as those opportunities were not available in Northwest Indiana at that time. She founded B&B Design Studios with her husband Bill in 1958. In 1965, Meeker joined the staff of Purdue University Northwest, where she taught as a professor in the Department of Architectural Technology for 25 years. During her time at Purdue, she developed new courses in freehand drawing for architecture and engineering programs. At the time, she was the only artist on staff, and her students were almost all male engineers. The school had no other art programs, so Meeker built and coordinated an art gallery where she created a collection of artworks for the university and worked to create public art pieces on campus. She was

Barbara Meeker

honored as a Professor Emerita of Architectural Technology for her excellent services. Meeker was involved with a number of regional art communities throughout the years. She became a member of South Shore Arts when it was known as Northern Indiana Arts Association and the Salon Show was still held at Minas Department Store in downtown Hammond. She exhibited in a number of those shows, winning numerous awards over the years. Meeker explored a variety of mediums and artistic styles during her career. After teaching at Purdue, she went on to continue her education in painting with various artists and instructors studying in workshops across the nation. She studied under watercolor artists, Dong Kingman and Miles Batt, citing these instructors as some of her major influences. Meeker says “I was most influenced by the artists and instructors I studied with during by time abroad. Learning from people you are working with hands on is the best kind of education. I like to think outside the box, color outside the lines. I’m creative, using my surroundings with my imagination. I’ve always painted things that I love and make me happy, adding my own creative spin.” Meeker is best known for her landscapes of the unexpected beauty in the industrial backgrounds and the natural beauty of the dunes found in Northwest Indiana. She claims that she isn’t a realist but more of an abstract painter of these landscapes.

Now retired, Meeker continues to mentor art students and inspire others to pursue careers in art. In the 1980s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;90s, Meeker frequently visited California, learning the art of jewelry-making, which she still actively pursues as a hobby. She aspires to find ways to use her art-making to benefit the community around her. Meekerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work hangs in 25 different public locations and corporate collections, and she has won a number of awards and is included in the National Society of Watercolorists. Barbara M. Meeker: A Career Retrospective will be on view in the South Shore Arts gallery at the Center for Visual & Performing Arts, September 25 through November 1, 2020. Additional prints and jewelry will be for sale in the Gift Shop during her exhibit. Barbara Meeker, Sailing, Watercolor

IN THE GALLERY WITH

During the South Shore Arts presentation of Maurice Sendak: The Memorial Exhibition, we set out to invite at least 1,000 young people into the gallery to view original drawings and prints created by one of the most important American illustrators of the 20th century. The educational activities related to this exhibit were made possible by a grant from the Legacy Foundation, with whose help we were able to provide transportation for several Northwest Indiana schools to visit the exhibit and participate in a monsterdrawing workshop! Unfortunately, our education program activities related to the Sendak exhibit were cut short due to COVID-19, but even with this disruption to our program schedule, we were able to surpass our original goal of having 1,000 young people attend the exhibit.

To all of the patrons and schools that did not have an opportunity to visit the exhibition as planned, we apologize. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. If you are an elementary school teacher who is interested in receiving an art kit containing a copy of Where the Wild Things Are, a study guide about Maurice Sendak and a lesson plan for an art project related to the book, please contact Summer Scharringhausen, Director of Education, at summer@southshoreartsonline.org.

Getting from here to there... Support the Symphony and your Gift will be Matched! As we look to our 2020-21 season, it is the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra’s hope that between January 1 and June 30, 2021, we will be able to schedule and perform three concerts, in addition to alternative opportunities, such as chamber concerts, recitals, or educational outreach while being mindful of government restrictions and societal concerns. We are also working to bring online features from the musicians to our supporters through email and social media. Music Director, musicians, board and staff are all working together to navigate the complexities of this crisis so as to protect and preserve the organization and all of its supporters. Now that we have the beginnings of a plan for the orchestra to return in 2021, we need your help getting from here to there! We are thrilled to announce that MonoSol has provided a $30,000 matching challenge grant to encourage people and companies to continue making gifts to the Symphony and help us survive this current period of uncertainty. The John W. Anderson Foundation has joined MonoSol by contributing an additional $25,000 and Strack & Van Til has donated $10,000—all great news and a good start! We would like to invite you to make a gift to the Symphony with the goal of providing general operating support to keep the orchestra’s core operations in place, including staffing, Youth Orchestra, rent, marketing, and accounting functions, so that we will be ready and able to return in 2021. As you likely know, the Covid pandemic is taking an unusually high toll on the performing arts, and we only have one Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra. The reality is that we need monetary help for the Symphony to sustain our essential administrative operations until we are able to perform again. In the meantime, without the ability to program incomegenerating performances, we are struggling to cover these general operating costs. MonoSol, The John W. Anderson Foundation and Strack & Van Til have demonstrated their commitment! The rest is up to you. Any gift that you can give will be appreciated and matched by these great friends of the orchestra. Your support will help provide us with a path and the resources that we need to bring back symphonic music, our wonderful musicians and accomplished Music Director. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

Safety First!

In-person Classes

After having to cancel the entire spring session before we even got started, South Shore Arts resumed our studio art classes this summer. With cautious optimism, we put new safety procedures in place to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19 during our in-person classes and launched a new online learning program. The benefits to taking art classes in our studios are many. In addition to the community of working in a shared space, there is access to equipment and the space to make a mess. For those reasons, we knew it was important to begin offering some of our classes in the studios again as soon as possible. While we wanted to provide quality art studio experiences, we also wanted to be sure that we were doing everything we could to maintain a safe and healthy facility. Some of the changes are easy to see while others are not: • Smaller class sizes, to allow for space to keep a safe distance. • Staff, instructors, and students are required to wear masks at all times. • Tables, easels, ceramic wheels, and other equipment have been rearranged to increase the amount of space between them. • Extra hand soap and disinfecting cleaners have been made available to all studio classes. • Extra time has been scheduled between classes occurring in the same space, to allow for extra cleaning. We are pleased to report that our adult ceramics classes have been running smoothly. The students and instructors are happy with the changes, as they make them feel safe returning to the studios. Most of all, they are excited to be back in the studios with their fellow artists after an unplanned hiatus.

Online Classes

As for our online program, there are many reasons that South Shore Arts is eager to offer online art classes. Remote learning can increase our accessibility by opening up studio art instruction to people who might not otherwise be able to participate due to geographic location, health conditions, scheduling constraints, or other factors. Online learning also potentially opens up access to a pool of instructors, experts in a wide variety of art disciplines, who would otherwise be outside the geographic reach of our organization. The COVID pandemic has pushed us to accelerate those plans, and this summer we were able to offer online courses for both youth and adults, in subjects such as nature journaling, printmaking, drawing & painting, Manga, and more. Several of these classes are now running online, with live interaction between students and instructors, allowing our students to continue their art education from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The fall schedule of art classes, for both youth and adults, is now open for registration. We are pleased to offer many of our staple classes, along with a few new additions such as Stop-Motion Animation, Digital Painting, and Ceramics for Bigs & Littles. We hope to see you in our studios or on our computer screens in the near future!
