This exhibit was organized by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Cleveland, Ohio. It’s Only Rock and Roll will be displayed from November 11, 2012 through February 3, 2013. A VIP reception will be held on Tuesday, November 27, 2012, from 6 to 8pm.
South Shore Arts is plugged in and ready to electrify visitors with It’s Only Rock and Roll, But I Like It. Representing 40 years of photography by Janet Macoska and Anastasia Pantsios, the exhibit comes direct to South Shore Arts from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The exhibit features more than 80 iconic images documenting many of the genre’s most legendary performers—Madonna, Paul McCartney, Whitney Houston, Freddy Mercury, Deborah Harry, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Courtney Love, Gene Simmons, Patti Smith and Robert Plant to name a few. Cleveland-based photojournalist Janet Macoska has been honing her craft for over 25 years. Her work has appeared in Creem, Rolling Stone, People, 16, Entertainment Weekly, the New York Times and the London Times. David Bowie, Led Zeppelin and the Kinks are just some of the artists who have used her photos on their CDs. One of Macoska’s proudest accomplishments is a photo of Paul McCartney that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Several of her photos were featured alongside those of Annie Leibowitz, Mark Seliger and others in a 1996 issue of American Photo devoted entirely to rock and roll images. Reflecting on her career in an interview with Black & White Magazine, Macoska said, “I know a lot of my photographs are going to be the images that will define what was going on at this important time in musical history. Hopefully, people will see my photographs and feel some of the emotion and energy that the audience was hearing and seeing with me in those memorable moments.” When Anastasia Pantsios photographed her first concert—a free concert by Jefferson Airplane in Chicago’s Grant Park in 1969—women were a rarity in rock bands. At the same time, women were trying to elbow their way into the burgeoning ranks of rock photographers, led by Rolling Stone’s Annie Leibovitz. In Cleveland, Pantsios was one of three women who formed Kaleyediscope Photography in 1978 to market the photos they were shooting of musicians. As women became more numerous and prominent on rock and roll stages in the ’80s and beyond, Pantsios developed a special interest in the visual study of the changing and diverse ways they presented themselves while making music. Her photographs represent 40 years of shooting rock’s talented women, starting with Jefferson Airplane’s Grace Slick and continuing through contemporary star Gwen Stefani.
EXHIBIT UPDATES Junior/Senior High School Show The awards for the 38th Annual Tri-County Junior/ Senior High School Art Exhibition were presented on Sunday, April 29th. More than $6,000 in prize money was awarded including the prestigious $2,500 Donald H. Berwanger Scholarship Award for a graduating high school senior to attend an accredited university or college to study fine art. The winner of this year’s Berwanger Scholarship was Ariana Koultourides from Munster High School. Miss Koultourides plans to attend the American Academy of Art in Chicago. The winner of Best Overall Junior High School Presentation was Memorial Junior High, Lansing, Illinois. The winner of Best Overall Senior High School Presentation was Lake Central High School. Twenty-seven schools from Lake and Porter counties in Indiana and south suburban Cook County in Illinois participated. For the seventh year, Indiana University Northwest continued its commitment to the region’s visual art students by sponsoring the exhibit. We thank Chancellor William J. Lowe and all of the generous donors who continue this great tradition!

Sting Like a Maccabee When people think about famous boxers they don’t usually think of Jews. Yet between 1910 and 1940, there were 27 Jewish world champions and, for years, working-class Jewish immigrants were the sport’s dominant ethnic group. South Shore Arts will celebrate these athletes with Sting Like a Maccabee: Paintings by Charles Miller, October 5 through November 25, 2012. This series of oil paintings and drawings of Jewish boxers by the Brooklyn-based Miller was inspired by the artist’s passion for the sport, as well as the stories of fighters like Jackie “Kid” Berg (a.k.a. “The Whitechapel Whirlwind”), Lew Tendler and Barney Ross, to name a few. These boxers, all but forgotten today, contributed much to the rich history of American boxing in its Golden Age. The exhibit celebrates these always brave, strong and ambitious fighters, who were often simply looking for fast money to support their families or avoid sweatshop labor, much like their Irish and Italian fighting counterparts. Each of the various sized pieces in the series features an individual Jewish boxer in period gear, sometimes bare fisted, sometimes in training mode, sometimes in the ring, but usually as if posing for a photograph. The New Yorker magazine short-listed Miller’s 2007 exhibit at Think Tank 3 in New York City in its “Goings On About Town” section and featured Miller’s painting of Al “Bummy” Davis.

Cultivating Tomorrow Today
Cultivating Tomorrow, Today is the title of a South Shore Arts community art project created by Whiting High School and Hammond Academy of Science and Technology (HAST) students, under the direction of artist Deborah Landry. The project, funded by BP America Inc., is located at the entrance of the BP Whiting Refinery’s Visitors Center at 2815 Indianapolis Boulevard. The focus of the sculpture was on STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), fields that are crucial to operations at BP. South Shore Arts and BP worked together with students to make ceramic tiles for the five-foot-tall sculpture. “Public art is a great way to create a dialog about what is important and can be custom-designed to meet any organization or company mission” says Deborah Landry. Brad Etlin, Director
of Government & Public Affairs at BP America, Inc., worked with South Shore Arts to ensure that students understood the importance of occupations in STEM. As Brad says, “BP Whiting’s goal for this project was to educate high school students about career opportunities at the refinery and provide knowledge in STEM fields. We wanted to create something lasting and beautiful that the students could own as we continue to engage with area students who are mapping their career paths.” Deborah conducted ten workshops with 300 students who made clay tiles that reflect STEM imagery. BP volunteers were invited to work side-by-side with students and talk about their careers at BP. Every participant cut, carved, sculpted and stamped clay to produce over 800 tiles to be fired, glazed, transported and installed by Deborah onto a V-shaped grass motif armature constructed at the site, where the sculpture is set among native plantings. In June, a group of students visited the site for an unveiling ceremony where BP engineers and technicians spoke about the advantages and importance of STEM careers. As students located their tiles and ran their fingers along the surface of the sculpture, it was apparent that they felt a sense of pride. Deborah explains, “When students saw their small artwork installed on the larger piece they went from ‘see my piece’ to ‘see the sculpture I helped make.’ Everyone had a small part in a big idea.” The project was a rich experience for students. ”I didn’t expect it to be that awesome of a sculpture,” proclaimed one HAST student. “It’s amazing to be part of a piece of art that everyone can see and will be here for a long time.”
South Shore Arts Announces 16th Year of Art in Focus Founded by Rita M. Ray
Art in Focus, South Shore Arts’ free art appreciation program founded by Rita M. Ray in 1997, will begin its 16th consecutive year on Monday, September 10, 2012. This year’s theme is “Fine Art’s Fine Line.” What is Fine Art? Where is the line between art and craft, artist and artisan? This year, Art in Focus will look at those wonderful art forms that might not show up on a survey of art history but most definitely touch our lives. Additionally, three programs will focus on composers to be featured in the Northwest Indiana Symphony’s 2012-13 concert season. Maestro Kirk Muspratt will share his knowledge to give insight into the men behind the music.
In addition to high quality documentaries by leading authorities, an integral part of every session is the time set aside for discussion. The goal of Art in Focus parallels that of the U.S. Department of Education, “Learning Never Ends.” Programs are led by Director of Education Linda Eyermann. Assisting in the planning of the program is Linda Dunn of the Munster Public Library. Art in Focus is presented on the second and fourth Monday mornings of the month at 10am at the Center for Visual and Performing Arts. There is no charge to participate. Adults of all ages who want to continue to increase their understanding and appreciation of art are welcome. Call 219/836.1839 for a brochure with this season’s complete schedule.
NEA Chairman Visits Region A northern Indiana visit by Rocco Landesman, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, on July 17, 2012, featured tours of arts-related facilities designed to transform a neighborhood or community. In South Bend, Landesman visited the Notre Dame Center for Arts and Culture, where a vacant building will house visual arts work space, part of a “cultural corridor” vision by city and university leaders. In Northwest Indiana, Landesman visited the Miller Beach Arts & Creative District and South Shore Dance Alliance, both located in Gary. By transforming a vacant pharmacy into an art gallery and a 1910 school house into a dance academy, these organizations are changing the dynamics of the Miller neighborhood—exactly what Landesman has in mind when he speaks of “Creative Placemaking.” The Miller Arts District intends to become a compact, walkable community served by a re-developed South Shore rail station. The opening earlier this year of the Marshall J. Gardner Center for the Arts in the former Miller Drugs was a critical first step in a long-range plan to create an arts and recreation hub fed by public transportation and the lakefront. Future plans include a resort hotel, a restaurant, and a museum with access to hiking and biking in the dunes. At the south end of the District is the South Shore Dance Alliance, where, in eight years of operation, Artistic Director Larry Brewer and his instructors have turned out graduates who have gone on to studies and careers at Julliard, the Debbie Allen Academy, Ballet Chicago, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Deeply Rooted Productions and Dance Theatre of Harlem. The day concluded with a public forum on Creative Placemaking at the Center for the Visual
and Performing Arts in Munster, where Landesman cited Minnesota as an example of a state that made a commitment to the arts when the citizens voted on a referendum to direct a percentage of state tax revenue to the arts in perpetuity. “Public support is very important, especially in times like these,” he said. “As a nation, we are the worst public funders of the arts in the industrialized world. Art is a very important part of what we should value. “The arts have a sustaining effect on a community,” Landesman said. “They can transform a place and can do so very quickly. You can open a gallery, a small theater, much quicker than you can build bridges and factories. Yes, the arts do create jobs but they also provide a reason for people to want to be in a community.”

19TH ANNUAL BEAUX ARTS BALL
A Huge Success
We asked you to “Show Us the Monet”—and you showed us the Monet! South Shore Arts’ 19th Annual Beaux Arts Ball met and exceeded the most ambitious goal ever, netting $172,770 on a budget of $172,150. A sold-out crowd of 450 people attended the event. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to our Beaux Arts Ball Co-Chairs Pat Colander, Nancy Trimboli, D.C. and Seda Turan-Yahne, a fabulous committee, board and staff. Thanks and recognition also go to all of the community donors who supported the silent and live auctions. It was a record year for donations! Held each year on the first Friday in June, the Ball is South Shore Arts’ primary fundraiser with proceeds benefitting our everykid art education programs for children, youth and families primarily in underserved communities through schools, social service agencies and municipal parks and recreation departments. The Ball’s success allows South Shore Arts to sustain and grow these programs in spite of budget cuts to the arts. Speaking of success, a new milestone was reached this year with everykid programs serving a record 28,000 children and youth in Northwest Indiana and south suburban Chicago! Board President Marcia Glaros and Executive Director John Cain unveiled two new South Shore posters, “Summer Wildflowers” (2012) by Barbara Spies Labus and the reprint of a Classic poster, “Indiana Dunes State Park” (1927) by Leslie Ragan, along with Northwest Indiana Forum President Mark Maassel. Jackie Wickland, the Gift Shop ladies and committee members created beautiful centerpieces with water
lilies and gems in Monet-inspired colors of purple, blue and aqua. Seda Turan-Yahne and Design Studio 303 created giant water lily decor gracing the entrance and the gallery. The dance floor was full until midnight when John Cain announced, Ferris Bueller-style, “Its over, go home!” Another year, another fabulous Ball. Major sponsors of the 19th Annual Beaux Art Ball were Diamond Sponsors ArcelorMittal, BP, and Geminus Prevention Services, plus event sponsors Community Healthcare System, BMO Harris, Lexus of Merrillville, Majestic Star Casino, Morrow Family Foundation and NIPSCO. Judith Mayer, owner of Keyword Design, provided the invitation and program design, and Tom Largus of Largus Printing donated the invitations. James & Sons donated the beautiful heart-shaped gold, diamond and enamel locket. Mark your calendars for next year. The 20th Annual Beaux Arts Ball is scheduled for Friday, June 7, 2012.

Barbara Spies Labus, Summer Wildflowers, Oil on panel
Wildflower Series: Early Summer Wetland by Barbara Spies Labus Northwest Indiana’s landscape has historically contained extensive areas of a wide variety of wetlands. Significantly altered and reduced by industrial and residential development, these vital areas are teeming with plant and animal life and remain critically important in so many ways. Here I simply want to appreciate a glimpse of their beauty. In the foreground, floating on the water’s surface, sits a large blooming Fragrant Water Lily. Its ostentatious beauty is stunning, and it is fragrant, as its name suggests, but I tend to favor the tight yellow heads of the Spatterdock water lilies. The dainty yellow flowers of the Common Bladderwort also on display above the water’s surface belie the fact that they are carnivorous. The plant’s underwater ‘bladders’ help it float and also trap and digest small organisms. Near the water’s edge are the round yellow blooms of Tufted Loosestrife. This plant is native to Northwest Indiana and does not share the aggressive characteristics of the infamous, invasive, Purple Loosestrife. These little islands of plant life offer resting places for many insects. The intensely red dragonfly is known as a Meadowhawk. Another dragonfly, a Green Darner, chooses to rest on the tall stems of Bulrush. I’ve helped myself to a bit of artistic license in the portrayal of Blue Flag Iris in front of Swamp Milkweed in such full bloom. Blue Flag is a late spring/early summer bloomer, while the wall of tall Swamp Milkweed behind it is more of a late summer bloomer. The Swamp Milkweed is topped with clusters of tiny fragrant vibrant pink flowers that make very nice feeding stations for Monarchs, Swallowtails and other insects. Also tucked into this tangled wall of plant life are the delicate pink blooms of Swamp Rose and the Snapdragonlike flowers of White Turtlehead. Another offering of gratitude to Paul Labus, for his advice and invaluable knowledge of the ecology of Northwest Indiana.
This is the second in a series of new South Shore posters depicting wildflowers of the dunes.
Patrons of the Year JoAnn and Chuck Long Every year since we started the Beaux Arts Ball in 1994, we’ve honored Patrons of the Year. This year for the first time we honored our patrons posthumously. JoAnn and Chuck Long were dear, generous, good-hearted people who supported many things in the community. And they supported us. Chuck was the board treasurer of Northern Indiana Arts Association when we moved into our first home on Hohman Avenue in 1970. Every summer, as we launched our individual gift campaign, JoAnn was the first person we asked to lunch because we enjoyed her company, she
wanted wine with lunch and we didn’t even really have to ask her for her and Chuck’s annual gift; she’d just pull the check out of her purse after two glasses of wine. We love donors like that! JoAnn preceded Chuck in death by a year, and, afterwards, Chuck invited me to lunch to tell me that he and JoAnn had made a gift to us in their estate plan. Little did I realize that their planned gift amounted to nearly $300,000. It’s the largest bequest that South Shore Arts has ever received, and with part of it we’ve established a fund within our endowment that will help to underwrite the Salon Show in memory of JoAnn and Chuck in perpetuity. The board voted to use another portion of the bequest to match contributions to the annual fund. JoAnn and Chuck’s daughter, Kirsten Walker, accepted the Patrons of the Year Award at the Beaux Arts Ball, an event that her parents attended, enjoyed and helped to underwrite year after year. She spoke of their giving her the gift of art as she was growing up and of how that had enriched her life. South Shore Arts is forever grateful to JoAnn and Chuck for their love of the arts and their community and us.

Women’s Association Celebrates Milestones
May Wine Brunch Co-Chairs Patti Cohen and Linda Eisenhauer
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, incoming WANISS President Charlotte Strowhorn
The Women’s Association of the Northwest Indiana Symphony celebrated the 40th Annual May Wine Brunch on May 16th at the Radisson Hotel at Star Plaza. The brunch featured a musical performance by Crown Point native Blake Zolfo, a student at the Boston Conservatory of Music, who was also a featured performer on the Symphony’s South Shore Glee! concert. The annual brunch is a fundraiser to benefit the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra. The milestones for WANISS continued on June 28 with “Women and Music Together for Fifty Years,” an anniversary celebration of the founding of WANISS in 1962 organized by Linda Eisenhauer. The festive evening at Innsbrook Country Club honored the organization through the (sometimes misty) eyes of past presidents as the ladies shared memories through speeches, poems and photos.

Just as a sharpshooter zeroes in on his unlucky target, Crowel takes aim and leads his reader down a colorful path in the Civil War era. His skillful use of dialogue takes us to a painful, bygone time when the nation struggled with a devastating war that would decide if we would stand together or forever be divided. This is a page turner! Sit back and enjoy a great transformation to the days of Blue and Grey. It’s a journey worth taking.” — George Sheldon, author of When the Smoke Cleared at Gettysburg and Fire on The River

South Shore Arts is pleased to offer quality art classes at three locations in a wide variety of disciplines and media. Classes are available for ages 2 through adult.
