ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is one of the nation’s oldest, largest and most prestigious outdoor art festivals. The festival debuted in March 1960 as a community project to bring local artists and art lovers together.

It’s produced by an all-volunteer board and draws more than 350,000 visitors each year. More than 1,200 artists from around the world applied for this year’s event, and an independent panel of three judges selected 225 to exhibit their work. The festival consistently ranks as one of the top juried fine-art festivals in the country. Recent accolades include the No. 2 national ranking in Art Fair Calendar’s “2018 Best Art Fairs.” The festival was also highly rated in Art Fair Source Book’s “Top Fine Art Shows” and Sunshine Artist Magazine’s “Top 100” in 2018.

CATEGORIES

The festival features a wide variety of fine arts and crafts in the following categories: clay, digital art, drawings & pastels, fiber, glass, graphics & printmaking, jewelry, leather, metal, mixed media/2D, mixed media/3D, painting, photography, sculpture, watercolor and wood as well as an Emerging Artists category.

AWARDS

Artists complete for 63 awards totaling $74,500. This year, the Best of Show purchase award has been raised to $12,000 to celebrate the festival’s 60th year. The festival donates pieces that win Best of Show to the City of Winter Park, which maintains them on permanent display at the Winter Park Public Library. A $5,000 Art of Philanthropy Purchase Award is sponsored by the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation. A $2,500 Distinguished Work of Art Award is presented through the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art.

JUDGES These Noted Experts Pick the Best of the Best

J

udges for the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival are selected annually for their in-depth knowledge and experience in multiple art media. Last October, they reviewed digital images from all applicants and selected the exhibiting artists. Other artists were placed on wait lists. During the festival, the same panel will review exhibits to determine which artists will be considered for awards. After a booth is selected, the artist is responsible for choosing one representative piece for consideration. Winners are determined by the judges on Saturday. Awards include the Best of Show, the Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation Award and the Morse Museum Award.

POSTER ARTIST

Magic M

with Paper

eticulously torn bits of handpainted papers, delicately put together, form the exceptionally vibrant collages created by Artist Elizabeth St. Hilaire. Richard Colvin, executive director of the Lake Eustis Museum of Art says, “Elizabeth St. Hilaire’s artworks have a fresh quality that belies the way they are constructed.”

St. Hilaire’s work has been published in the books Acrylic Works 3: Celebrating Texture (2015) and Incite 2: Color Passions (2014). Her own book, Painted Paper Art Workshop, was published in 2016. She has been the subject of feature stories in numerous national magazines.

She was a finalist in the Artist’s Magazine Annual Art Competition (2014 and 2015). She won first place in the collage/ mixed media category in the Artist’s Magazine All Media Competition (2010).

St. Hilaire was also an award winner in the National Collage Society’s Signature Members Exhibition at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, Arizona (2013), and a finalist in the Richeson75 International Art Competition (2013), sponsored by the art-supply manufacturer Jack Richeson & Co. Born and raised in New England, St. Hilaire has lived in Central Florida for more than 20 years. She holds a BFA in advertising design from Syracuse University and has earned Signature Member status with the National Collage Society.

“My love of collage started with a scrap box of mementos from my childhood,” she says. “These small sentimental pieces of my past came from my father, who rescued them from the attic.”

and Paint

Elizabeth St. Hilaire, who created the festival’s 2019 poster, is a nationally known collage artist whose passion for the genre began with a scrap box of mementos from her childhood.

Following her father’s death, St. Hilaire found a way to incorporate memorable papers, notes and snippets of her family’s past into works that were memorable, beautiful and personally significant.

“In my work I highlight the extraordinary within the ordinary, focusing on intense and vibrant colors combined with a sensibility of design,” she says. “My collages invite the viewer to look, and having looked, to linger.”

LOCAL COLOR Here’s Why Winter Park is Proud as a Peacock

W

hy does a peacock adorn the City of Winter Park’s logo? It all goes back to Hugh F. McKean (19081995) and Jeannette Genius McKean (1909-1989).

Hugh — artist, educator, collector and writer — was the 10th president of Rollins College, serving from 1951 through 1969. He then became the college’s chancellor and chairman of its board of trustees.

In 1945, while still an art professor at the college, he married Jeannette (right), granddaughter of Charles Hosmer Morse, the Chicago industrialist and philanthropist who helped to shape modern Winter Park. Both McKeans were lovers of nature and cultivated a preserve filled with peacocks around Wind Song, the lakefront estate that Jeannette inherited from her father, Richard Genius.

Genius Drive, the dirt road leading through the preserve Jeannette Genius McKean and her husband, Hugh, and to the estate, was open to the public until the 1990s. The cultivated a preserve filled with peacocks around their home, called Wind Song. property, now owned by the Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation and dubbed the Genius Preserve, encompasses the city’s largest remaining orange grove and several structures, including the unoccupied but carefully maintained family home.

And it’s still bustling with preening (and noisy) peafowl descended from those the McKeans unleashed in 1950. In 2004, Winter Park officially adopted the peacock as its symbol, along with the tagline “The City of Culture and Heritage.” 

MINDI ABAIR AND THE BONESHAKERS Get ready to have your spirit lifted — and your bones shaken — by Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers, who are headlining the festival’s wildly popular Friday night jazzblues-rock extravaganza. The show will get underway at 7:30 p.m. on the Centennial Stage in north Central Park.

A two-time Grammy nominee, jazz saxophonist Abair has been electrifying audiences since her debut album, Always and Never the Same, in 2000.

Raved one critic: “No one since Junior Walker has brought saxophone and vocals in one package to the forefront of modern music, with a raucous tone and abandon.”

Abair — a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston — has garnered ten No. 1 radio hits and two No. 1 spots on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz album chart. In 2014, she earned her first Grammy nomination in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category.

In 2015, Abair was a Grammy nominee in the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album category for Wild Heart, a solo effort featuring the late Gregg Allman, Joe Perry, Trombone Shorty, Booker T. Jones, Keb’ Mo’ and Max Weinberg.

To help translate her gritty, rock-and-soul influenced sound to live shows, Abair enlisted longtime friend and 28 60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

Boneshakers founder Randy Jacobs (a gifted session guitarist who played with Bonnie Raitt, Was Not Was and Willie Nelson). The combination worked and led to a creative partnership.

Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers features Abair (saxophone, vocals), Jacobs (guitar, vocals), Rodney Lee (keyboards), Derek Frank (bass, vocals) and Third Richardson (drums, vocals).

The band’s first album, Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers Live in Seattle, was released in 2015. Their first studio album The EastWest Sessions, was released in 2017.

Produced by Kevin “Caveman” Shirley (Led Zepplin, Joe Bonamassa, The Black Crowes, Aerosmith), The EastWest Sessions debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart.

The single “Pretty Good for a Girl,” which featured Joe Bonamassa, won a 2018 Independent Music Award for Best Blues Song. And the band took home eight trophies, including Artist of the Year, at the 2018 Independent Blues Awards.

When she’s not touring with The Boneshakers, Abair can be found recording and touring with Joe Perry, Trombone Shorty, Booker T. Jones, Aerosmith, Smokey Robinson, Bobby Rush, Keb’ Mo’, Adam Sandler, Duran Duran, Lalah Hathaway and the Backstreet Boys.

EMERGING ARTISTS

T

Meet This Year’s Festival Up-and-Comers

he Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival’s Emerging Artist Program was founded in 1977 to encourage new artists to participate in the world of outdoor festivals at no cost to the selectees. Emerging Artists, who are selected through the same juried process as the festival’s other participants, will have the opportunity to make sales and get feedback from art patrons and judges. While Emerging Artists are not eligible for prizes, the exposure and the experience are invaluable. This year three artists were chosen for the program.

NATALIE SCHORR

Natalie Schorr, whose aunt is a professional artist, has been around a working art studio since she was a child. But her first creative outlet was as an interior design and space planner. She began acquiring art at age 22 and later started adding her own pieces to her collection. “So, it’s with the encouragement of my husband and girls that I’m painting, creating and now sharing my work,” she says. “What a joy to be among other professional, talented artists and inquisitive, curious collectors — all of whom hold an embracing passion for art.” Schorr loves creating texture and depth by using pastes and gels as well as heavy knife work on her abstract acrylic paintings. Typically, her bold works are black and white with carefully placed pops of eye-catching color.

WPSAF HISTORY

Still Sassy at

Here’s a Look at the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival’s Wild Ride Through the Decades.

By Randy Noles | Additional Material By Mike Boslet

In 1964, this image of the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival was featured on the cover of the Winter Park Telephone Company’s city directory. The painting also appeared on postcards and on placemats at the Barbizon Restaurant and Gallery, where the idea for the festival was hatched.

I

n early 1960, Dwight D. Eisenhower was still President of the United States. But John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon were headed for the Democratic and Republican nominations, setting up an epic battle that would culminate with a narrow win for the young senator from Massachusetts.

The tumult associated with the ’60s — Vietnam, assassinations, mass protests, racial unrest, the sexual revolu-

,

tion and more — was largely yet to come.

Beatniks weren’t yet hippies, and Elvis — back home from serving in the U.S. Army in Germany — notched two of the year’s Top 10 records: “It’s Now or Never” and “Stuck on You.” Along Park Avenue, you could see a movie at the Colony Theater, check out the latest fashions at Proctor Center and scarf down an ice-cream sundae at the Yum Yum Shop.

60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

Standing in front of the Barbizon Restaurant and Gallery — then located at the corner of Park and Canton avenues — are (left to right) founders Darwin Nichols, Jean Oliphant, Bob Anderson and Don Sill. The photo is thought to have been taken in 1961.

But in January 1960, local history was made at the Barbizon Restaurant and Gallery — located at the corner of Park and Canton avenues, where Boca is now — when a trio of friends who met regularly to while away slow afternoons had an audacious idea.

Those present were Darwin Nichols, a potter who owned the restaurant, and artists Robert Anderson and Don Sill, who shared a nearby studio in the Hidden Gardens. Perhaps there were others — accounts vary — but Nichols mentioned only Anderson and Sill in a 2009 interview with Winter Park Magazine. All three have died in the past decade.

Nichols recalled: “We were sitting there having a glass of wine and we were thinking, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a place where nonprofessional people — those not accomplished enough to be in galleries — could show their work?’”

It only made sense. Local artists already displayed paintings in the Barbizon, where diners could buy them right off the walls. Plus, the gallery-packed city had a longstanding reputation as an artists’ colony.

But organizational savvy was needed, so the friends recruited, among others, Edith Tadd Little, a patron of the arts — indeed, an artist herself — and for a time owner of an interior design business on Park Avenue.

Little’s involvement all but assured success. A civic leader and booster of cultural causes, she had been designated “Mrs. Winter Park” in 1959 by the city commission. Revered for her energy and organizational acumen, some local businesspeople affectionately nick60 60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

named her “The General.”

Among Little’s artistic credentials: She decorated the interior of the Annie Russell Theatre on the campus of Rollins College, even creating the stencils and painting the elaborate designs that adorn the ceiling.

“Mother’s original idea was to have the festival for all the local artists and the art departments of all the schools, from kindergarten through college,” recalled the late Sally Behre, Little’s daughter, in a 1987 oral history interview with the Winter Park History Museum.

But The General — who died in June 1960, just months after the inaugural event — was too ill to lead the charge.

(From 1965 through 1968, the Best of Show award would be named the Edith Tadd Little Medal.)

Jean Oliphant, another formidable mover and shaker, chaired a hastily formed 18-member festival committee — its meetings were held in the Barbizon’s Blue Room — on which Little and about a dozen others served. (Oliphant, who died in 1990, would become known as “The Mother of the Sidewalk Art Festival.” Although some news stories place her at the initial “bull session” with Nichols, Anderson and Sill, it’s more likely that she joined the effort immediately thereafter.)

Nichols agreed to kick in $50. Soon, Park Avenue merchants — delighted at the prospect of drawing potential customers to the quaint but sometimes-sleepy business district — stepped up to help defray expenses for what was initially billed, rather generically, as a “Sidewalk Art Show.”

It was that — and, ultimately, much more.

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

In early February, the Orlando Evening Star announced the news with the headline: “Date Set for ‘Arty’ Park Ave. Three Days of Bohemia.” Just three weeks later, on March 3, 4 and 5 (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday), the inaugural event was held.

For artists, promptness was the most important re-

quirement. The first 90 to apply were accepted, and there was no entry fee. Regardless, thousands showed up to see painters, weavers and even makers of puppets and sundials. Schoolchildren also exhibited their creations.

“None of us were prepared for the onslaught of people coming,” said Nichols, who died in 2016. He had clearly underestimated the allure of picture-postcard pretty Park Avenue on a spring afternoon.

“It was the windiest day I think we’d had in a long time,” noted Behre in the 1987 interview, whose young students from the Jack and Jill Kindergarten hung their paintings from a clothesline. “[Artists] just had easels. They didn’t have booths or anything like they have today. They would stack [their work] up at night, and Boy Scouts took turns sleeping in the park and patrolling the place.”

By all accounts, despite the indiscriminate selection process, some very good work was displayed.

The 1960 Best of Show winner — an oil painting of a foreboding forest by DeLand artist Arnold Loren Hicks — was selected by attendees who filled out ballots. A grateful Hicks — who had sold four of his paintings over the weekend — donated his $40 windfall back to the festival to help ensure that it would continue.

It proved to be a wise investment; Hicks would win again in 1961, when the festival was compressed into two days and moved to Friday and Saturday. (From 1964 forward, it was a three-day event beginning on the third Friday in March.)

Hicks, like all Best of Show winners, has an interesting backstory. By 1960, he was primarily a landscape painter. Early in his career, however, he painted lurid covers for pulp magazines and was a cartoonist for the legendary Classics Illustrated comic-book series.

But Hicks wasn’t the only cartoonist-turned-fine-artist in the first festival. Frank King (“Gasoline Alley’’), Les Turner (“Captain Easy”) and Roy Crane (“Buzz Sawyer’’) also displayed the products of their painterly pursuits.

All three lived in Winter Park.

Another notable entrant — one whose participation instantly cemented the festival’s cultural credibility — was Jeannette Genius McKean, who entered a selection of geometric abstracts.

McKean was the granddaughter of industrialist and Winter Park benefactor Charles Hosmer Morse, in whose honor she named the Morse Gallery of Art on the Rollins campus. That museum would later become the Charles Hosmer Museum of American Art on North Park Avenue.

An accomplished businesswoman in her own right, McKean owned the Center Street Gallery, which showcased up-and-coming Florida artists, and was president of the Winter Park Land Company, which managed her grandfather’s vast holdings.

She was married to Hugh F. McKean, a former art professor who had become president of Rollins in 1951. A

nod from the McKeans — Winter Park’s original power couple and the embodiment of its artistic ambience — would have been important to festival organizers.

The puzzle pieces came together. Yes, the event was hurriedly staged, but its supporters and organizers were civic dynamos who knew how to make things happen.

Still, not even the most ardent boosters could have predicted what was to come.

In 2019, the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival encompassed 225 artists vying for sales and a share of $74,500 in prize money. National publications such as Sunshine Artist frequently place the event at or near the top of their rankings.

“I don’t know why it caught on like it did,” said Nichols in 2009. “I guess Winter Park is just an artsy place.”

BEST OF THE BEST

While much about today’s festival is the same as it was 60 years ago, much is also different. Most notably, it’s no longer a showcase for enthusiastic local hobbyists.

The juried event has for decades attracted roughly three times as many applicants as it has exhibit spaces.

Participants and winners are selected by an independent trio of highly credentialed experts from outside Central Florida.

The 60th annual festival runs March 15, 16 and 17 along Park Avenue and in Central Park. And despite its size, it’s still run by volunteers who’ve turned festival production into, well, an art form. The umbrella organization is called Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival Inc., a 501(c)4 not-for-profit organization that consists of about 40 people on its board and executive committee.

And there’s plenty for everyone to do. Despite its seatof-the-pants starting point, the event quickly morphed from a casual weekend stroll in the park into a fullfledged regional happening with multiple components.

In the early ’60s, entertainment began to be an important part of the festival experience. Students from the Royal School of Dance performed an original ballet, while nightclub entertainer and restaurateur Chappy McDonald tickled the ivories and sang.

There were folksingers — including Gamble Rogers IV, the iconic architect’s son who would go on to have a legendary career as a balladeer — as well as high school bands, jazz combos, barbershop quartets and symphony orchestras.

The number of artists also grew — there were 240 in 1963 and 300 in 1964, when the Best of Show winner earned a whopping $500. That year, the festival promoted itself as an event where “every artist and craftsman has an opportunity to show his creative ability.” Soon, that egalitarian approach would change.

Crowds swelled, with up to 200,000 estimated in 1964, when outside judging was introduced. Park Avenue was closed to traffic for the first time in 1965. That year, an 60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

Meet four festival icons (left to right): Carolyn Bird, Carole Moreland, Jean Sprimont and Carol Wisler. The longtime volunteers recently gathered at the festival’s small office to share stories about their years in an array of leadership positions. All agree that it’s exciting to help coordinate a successful event, despite the inevitable organizational headaches. But just as rewarding, they say, are the friendships they’ve developed through their involvement.

illustration of a festival scene was featured on the cover of the Winter Park Telephone Company’s city directory.

Local institutions began donating money or sponsoring major awards, including First National Bank of Winter Park, Minute Maid, the Tupperware Company and the Winter Park Telephone Company. Other local companies sponsored various category-specific awards.

The “is it really art?” question inevitably arose in the ’60s, when crocheting, knitting, millinery, clothing and picture frames were prohibited. Painting, of course, was really art, as were crafts such as ceramics, mosaics, pottery, weaving and wood carving. (Decorated eggs were explicitly judged not to be art in 1969 — a decision that didn’t go over easy with the artist trying to display them.)

By 1966 the number of participating artists had mushroomed to 600, and the festival encompassed Park Avenue from Fairbanks Avenue all the way north to Canton Avenue and throughout Central Park.

But, as far as outdoor art festivals are concerned, bigger isn’t always better. A consensus emerged that the event had become simply too overwhelming for attendees to enjoy, and it was scaled back to 425 artists the following year. (It was capped at 225 artists in 2009.)

The Winter Park Chamber of Commerce sponsored the festival from 1963 through 1966. The City of Winter Park — eager to control what had become the city’s signature event — created a commission consisting of current volunteers and political appointees to take over festival operations in 1967.

Founding member Jean Oliphant’s husband, Frank, was a city commissioner who supported the idea.

“Frank told Jean, ‘If you have a brain in your head, you’ll involve the city in your little ladies’ festival,’” recalls Jean Sprimont, a festival member since 1987.

(This arrangement persisted until 1989, when complications stemming from Florida’s Sunshine Law — which required that all governmental meetings be advertised 62 60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

and open to the public — made planning too ponderous.

“We had to be able to talk to one another,” says Carole Moreland, a festival member since 1978. “Under those circumstances, we couldn’t get anything done.”)

In 1969, the festival began the tradition of buying the Best of Show-winning work and donating it to the city. A year later, the “first come, first served” selection process was dropped. Applicants were required to submit three color slides for screening by judges — and competition became fierce.

By 1972, some local artists had begun to complain that too many out-of-towers were allowed to exhibit, while locals — taxpaying citizens, mind you — were excluded.

Mayor Dan Hunter, perhaps naively, said he had hoped “to keep politics out of the festival.” Still, he agreed to listen to the aggrieved artists.

Ultimately, however, festival jurors were permitted to continue considering only the quality of the artist’s work — not whether the application carried a 32789 zip code — as their primary criteria.

“This wasn’t what we call a Sunday painter’s show,” said architect Keith Reeves, who served as a festival chairman in the ’70s and spoke to Winter Park Magazine in 2009.

“Everybody felt like that if this show was going to have any merit or recognition that it had to truly be a juried art show — that you just couldn’t be a favorite son and get in.”

In the wake of that controversy, painter Cissy Barr led an effort to start a festival that would showcase only Florida artists. The Winter Park Autumn Art Festival debuted 1974 and was sponsored by the now-defunct Winter Park SunHerald. By the ’80s, it was co-sponsored by the Crealdé School of Art and the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce.

Now sponsored exclusively by the chamber, the autumn festival was moved from Central Park to the Rollins campus. It was later staged in Island Lake Park and finally found its way back to Central Park, where it has become

,

an October tradition and remains the only juried outdoor festival featuring only Florida artists.

WHERE’S DOROTHY?

In festival lore, 1975 will always be remembered as the year of the naked lady.

Glenn Eden, a 24-year-old art school student from Atlanta, won the festival’s Best of Show award and the $1,000 prize it carried with The Wizard of Oz, a photorealistic ballpoint pen drawing of a rotund middle-aged woman wearing nothing but a shocked expression.

The woman, said Eden, was a real person named Dorothy, who was a wallboard installer whom he had met at his apartment complex.

Prior to 1978, works that snared Best of Show honors were displayed in City Hall. (Today, the Best of Show Collection hangs in the Winter Park Public Library.) But there was no chance — none whatsoever — that city commissioners were going to display a drawing that showed fullfrontal nudity, regardless of the model’s physique.

“It’s the kind of thing you’d hang on your refrigerator door to keep from opening it,” as Commissioner Byron Villwock described the work to an Orlando Sentinel reporter. Stories were headlined: “City Hall Can’t Bare New Portrait” and “‘Best of Show’ Controversy a Matter of Taste This Time.”

Because the city wouldn’t give Dorothy a home, Reeves adopted her and displayed Eden’s award-winning work in his own home until the furor died down.

The drawing did eventually hang in the library for several years — but mysteriously disappeared in 1982.

Oh, you can still see it — sort of. A reproduction of the provocative image can be seen in the library, lurking in an obscure corner on the third floor. It’s faded from exposure to sunlight and much smaller than the postersized original.

Dorothy’s presence, diminished as it may be, is thanks to Robert Melanson, library director for 25 years until his retirement in 2012. In 1994, he asked Phil Eschbach, owner of Eschbach Photography, to take a picture of a photocopy stored in the library’s archives. He then had the picture framed and hung.

“The library was supposed to be the repository of Best of Show winners, and this one wasn’t there,” says Melanson, who never saw the original and had only heard stories about the brouhaha. “I didn’t believe that whoever took it ought to be allowed to censor the collection.”

What became of the original remains a mystery, although it has been speculated that someone connected with the city — and therefore someone with access to the library after hours — must have been involved.

“Ever since cavemen drew the first animal on the wall, art has created controversy,” wrote the late Elizabeth Bradley Bentley in her lively book, A Side Walk with the Art Festival, published to commemorate the festival’s

,

In 1975, the festival’s Best of Show winner was a photo-realistic drawing of an obviously distraught — and entirely nude — middle-aged woman whom Atlanta artist Glenn Eden said was a wallboard hanger at his apartment complex. At the time, works earning Best of Show honors were displayed in City Hall. But officials balked at Wizard of Oz, which Commissioner Byron Villwock described as “the kind of thing you’d hang on your refrigerator door to keep from opening it.” The painting was eventually displayed in the Winter Park Public Library, but mysteriously vanished in 1982.

20th year. “There is nothing like a good controversy to show how such an important thing as art can still get us all riled up.”

Also in 1975, city grant money dried up and the festival was expected to become self-supporting. An emphasis was placed on raising money through application fees for artists, franchise fees for food vendors and the sale of merchandise, such as posters and T-shirts.

In 1979, tensions among art festival board members boiled over when the results of an election for executive committee offices — including president and vice president — were disputed.

About half the group resigned over the turmoil, which saw Bruce Cucuel, then director of drawing and painting at the Crealdé School of Art, unseat previous president Gerry Shepp, then executive director of the Maitland Art Center.

Among those who remained to rally the troops: Jean Oliphant, treasurer and founding member whose institutional knowledge proved invaluable as eager newcomers were welcomed to lead the festival into its third decade.

and spectators never noticed. To commemorate the festival’s 25th year in 1984, the Albin Polasek Foundation gave the city a recast version of the late sculptor’s iconic statue, Emily, to be placed in a circular fountain in north Central Park now called “The Emily Fountain.”

The original Emily is on the grounds of the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens on Osceola Avenue. Like Dorothy, Emily is unclothed, although her bare breasts sparked no apparent outrage at the time. The statue was, however, vandalized the following year and recast.

ALL THAT JAZZ

Musical entertainment has always been a part of the festival, but in the early days it consisted primarily of local performers and performing arts troupes. Periodically, the Florida Symphony Orchestra — which went defunct in 1993 — would present a Sunday afternoon concert.

But entertainers were forced to perform either on the lawn or from makeshift stages (including, on several occasions, the beds of pickup trucks). In 1980, the symphony threatened to pull out of its Sunday afternoon performance for fear that inclement weather might ruin its instruments.

The resourceful Cucuel rented a large parachute and strung it over tree branches in the northeast quadrant of the park to provide cover for the musicians. The show went on, but clearly a more permanent solution was needed.

Enter the Rotary Club of Winter Park, which in 1982 funded construction of the permanent — and covered — Centennial Performing Arts Stage in north Central Park. (The stage’s seldom-used original name honors the city’s centennial, which was celebrated that year.)

In 1983, the stage debuted as the centerpiece for “Friday Family Night,” which featured the Ballet Royal and Family Tree, a local trio that had an avid following at Harper’s Tavern, Uncle Waldo’s and other Winter Park venues.

In subsequent years, though, the genre was all jazz, with headliners such as Herbie Mann (1986), Dave Brubeck (1987), Al Hirt (1988), Ramsey Lewis (1991), The Rippingtons (1993), Grover Washington Jr. (1997) and Boney James (1998).

Entertainment was initially funded by the festival, which recruited such sponsors as Barnett Bank, MetLife HealthCare Network, Pioneer Savings Bank, Sun Banks and the Winter Park Telephone Company.

Only once since construction of the stage was there no Friday night concert. In 1989, some previous sponsors — most notably Sun Banks — decided instead to support the newly launched United Arts of Central Florida, an umbrella organization that helped fund a consortium of cultural groups. The festival was not among the initial dozen United Arts beneficiaries.

Nonetheless, the event was back the following year with Scottish-born jazz saxophonist Richard Elliot , who had just launched a solo career after a decade with the

64 60TH WINTER PARK SIDEWALK ART FESTIVAL

funk group Tower of Power.

Perhaps no performer brought out fans in such huge numbers as vocalist Michael Franks of “Popsicle Toes” fame did in 1994. Franks was such a draw that people overflowed onto the train tracks running parallel to the park.

The emphasis on jazz was primarily due to the involvement of WLOQ-FM, a smooth-jazz radio station owned by the late John Gross, who had been recruited to the festival board because of his entertainment industry expertise.

In the early ’90s, WLOQ and Sonny Abelardo Productions assumed responsibility for the entire weekend of entertainment, including the opening-night concert, which had previously been organized by a committee consisting of festival board members.

When Southwest Airlines began flying out of Orlando International Airport in 1998, Gross secured a $45,000 entertainment sponsorship from the airline that involved both a presence at the festival and cross-promotion with the radio station. That arrangement would continue for 11 years, solidifying the entertainment budget.

It certainly didn’t hurt that the well-connected Abelardo had managed or produced many of the musicians he booked. In 1999, for example, he paired Grammywinning pianist/composer Bob James, whom he managed, with acoustic guitarist Earl Klugh.

The 2012 festival featuring saxophonist Warren Hill was Abelardo’s last, ending a 22-year run that firmly established the event as a showcase for world-class jazz artists. “I did it as a tribute to John,” Abelardo says of his final contribution to the festival’s legacy.

“Sonny had contacts and incredible friendship with these bands,” says Chip Weston, a festival board member before going to work for the City of Winter Park as director of economic and cultural development from 20012008. “I wish people had a grasp of how fortunate they were to have had him.”

Weston remembers city officials growing concerned that the concerts were drawing too many people.

“The city didn’t want the jazz concerts being too popular because people spilled over onto the train tracks,” recalls Weston. “We had to coordinate with other cities to let us know when trains were coming. And we had to stop bands from playing when trains approached. I remember kicking people off tracks with their bottles of wine and picnic baskets.”

Following Gross’ death and the shuttering of WLOQ in 2012, Wayne Osley, president of Oz Media Productions, has run the show, arranging everything from the Friday afternoon opening acts, which feature young up-andcomers, to the evening’s main event.

Osley also organizes the Saturday lineup — which features an eclectic array of primarily local artists — as well as the Sunday afternoon finale. (This year, jazz takes a holiday on Sunday because the festival has booked the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra for a concert in its

,

Pops Series.)

While the closing of the radio station meant smaller sponsorship budgets for procuring talent, Osley says he doesn’t have any problems booking touring jazz musicians whose fans would gladly pay to see them.

“Jazz artists are the easiest people to work with,” says Osley, next year’s co-president of the festival executive committee. He says he usually has about $35,000 to work with for the entire weekend — about 15 shows in all. Everyone who performs gets paid, he adds.

For Tim Coons, the festival’s weekend of concerts offers an opportunity to introduce young acts who could one day make it big like the boy bands he has worked with in the past.

Coons, a 1976 Rollins College graduate and president of Orlando-based Cheiron Records, has a knack for bird dogging up-and-coming performers.

He was the original producer of the Backstreet Boys and helped develop NSYNC. His most recent contribution to the boy band genre was Far Young. “I was slammed with boy groups for about 10 years,” he says.

Coons has been inserting 20-something singers into the festival’s entertainment lineup since 2014. He brought in Far Young spinoff and former American Idol contestant Eben Franckewitz in 2015 and ’16.

And this year he has three aspiring stars with strong social media followings — Saagar Ace, Sydney Rhame and Alani Claire — scheduled to perform Friday afternoon as lead-ins to the headline act, Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers.

“It’s a great place for young kids to develop in front of a big crowd,” says Coons, whose home near Rollins doubles as a studio. “It’s not like the crowd is there for them. It’s just less pressure. It’s just a very chill event.”

Or maybe the real magic of the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is how chill it appears to artists and visitors, who don’t see the year-round planning sessions and frantic rush in the final weeks to finalize details.

“It helps that many of us are close friends,” says Carolyn Bird, a festival board member since 1975. “We know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.” Adds Carole Wisler, a festival board member since 1985: “There’s such great camaraderie; we all know funny stories — some we’d like to admit and some we wouldn’t.”

Many of those funny stories are in the 20th anniversary book by Elizabeth Bradley Bentley, who died in 1994. Toward the conclusion, she beautifully captures the spirit of the festival and its volunteers: “As the years went by, my main wish was for health to make the work a pleasure, wealth enough to purchase the art I simply could not live without, faith enough to make myself believe the examples I’d purchased were good (though some did look better hung upside down).

And to be needed and wanted to work for the festival.

I want to spread it over my face like a kid eating a jam sandwich.” 

LEON THEODORE CHAMPIONED ART EDUCATION When they attend the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, thousands of people cross the railroad tracks to view artwork by students from Orange County schools.

But few know anything about the man for whom the Leon Theodore Schools Exhibit is named.

Theodore, who moved to Orlando from New Orleans in 1960, became an art teacher at allblack Hungerford Junior and SeLeon Theodore nior High School in Eatonville. In 1967, he was transferred to predominantly white Edgewater High School in Orlando.

Countless students — some of whom went on to careers in art or teaching — attribute their success to Theodore, who was described as strict but accessible and inspirational.

“I’ll never forget Mr. Theodore’s comments on the first day of class,” says Joanie Forbes, who for more than a decade owned Joanie’s Art Studio in College Park and now teaches at Park Maitland School. “He said, ‘If you’re sitting in one of my desks because you think this class is going to be an easy A, please get up and get out. I take teaching art very seriously.’”

The message resonated with Forbes, who says Theodore cared about his students and helped them gain confidence through creative expression.

She majored in art education at Mercer University “so that I could give back to students all that he had given me during my three years at Edgewater.”

Theodore — who had attended Xavier University on an art scholarship — was named president of the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival executive board in 1983.

He had previously helped to organize the student display that would later bear his name.

In addition, Theodore served on the Orlando Public Arts Board and the board of directors of the Callahan Community Center. As an artist, he won awards at festivals throughout the state with his striking multimedia prints.

He was later director of exhibits at The Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, and gallery director and artist in residence at Bethune-Cookman College.

Theodore died in 1999 at 70. The following year, the art festival committee renamed the student display to honor a man who had championed the importance of art in education.

“I try to be a role model,” Theodore told the Orlando Sentinel in 1988. “Being a black artist, there’s no mistaking about my color. My students were asked to name some top black artist during Black History Month. Many named me. This made me proud.”

There’s No Secret to Winning Best of Show — It Takes Luck

ith 225 artists showing works that range from photography to sculptures to jewelry to paintings and many other mediums, there’s no telling what three judges will anoint as the Best of Show. Talk to artists who have won the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival’s highest honor and they’ll likely attribute their success to luck.

Here’s what three repeat Best of Show winners and last year’s first-time winner had to say about their Best of Show experiences and about the festival.

“Best of Show validates what you do to a certain degree. I wouldn’t say the prize money is necessarily the goal.”

— Matthew Cornell (2003, 2013, 2014)

Cornell is the only three-time honoree in festival history. He won for his painstakingly detailed oil paintings and drawings in 2003, 2013 and 2014. He first entered in 1997 and has shown every year since, except 2015.

In 2018, he claimed an Award of Excellence, assuring him an automatic spot in this year’s event.

“Luck and timing” are the winning combination, Cornell says. “It’s at the discretion of particular judges. [Best of Show] validates what you do to a certain degree. I wouldn’t say the prize money is necessarily the goal.”

Selling art, that’s the goal, Cornell and other past winners say. “There are a lot of people who have purchased my work multiple times,” he says. “Last year was the best year I ever had. I sold nine paintings. The community here is so supportive. I’m extraordinarily grateful that this show exists.”

UMMARID “TONY” EITHARONG Eitharong has shown in the festival off and on since he won, in 1980, his first Best of Show for a pencil drawing titled Self Portrait with White Trash.

He reclaimed the honor in 1986 for another pencil drawing featuring his likeness, and he’ll be back for the 60th anniversary. Just not as the artist he once was.

“It boosted my ego more than anything else,” Eitharong says of being a Best of Show winner. “When I was doing pencil drawings, I was more interested in winning awards.”

But his last Best of Show winner marked a turning point in his career, with Eitharong deciding to put his pencils away. “I couldn’t make a living doing pencil drawings. I was getting bored with it, too,” he says.

What you’ll find in his booth at this year’s festival are large mixed media pieces and paintings. He says he usually sells about 10 works during festival weekend, making it one of the more lucrative events in which he participates.

“People still remember my pencil drawings when I run into them at the festival,” he says. “It’s a nice compliment.”

The Winter Park art festival was and still is a very important arts festival for artists. It really did help my career quite a bit.”

— Duncan McClellan (2004)

McClellan recalls feeling dejected at the 2004 festival because he thought he had won an award for his glass art. After all, volunteers had brought balloons to his booth, signaling that he had won one of several awards.

But when his name in the glass category wasn’t called, he said, “Damnit, they gave me balloons, but I didn’t get an award. So, I’m walking back to my booth and I’m kind of pissed off. I was almost back to my booth when I heard my name called.”

But it wasn’t as a category winner. It was for Best in Show — for the second time in 11 years.

“When they give out those awards, it doesn’t really mean you’re the best,” he says. “That award to those particular judges at that particular time means you’re the best.”

Nevertheless, being a Best of Show winner gave McClellan the confidence and prestige to open his own gallery — a long-held dream.

“Without that validation, I would never have opened a gallery and represented more than 100 artists from around the world,” he says. “The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival was and still is a very important festival for artists. It really did help my career quite a bit.”

RICHARD CURRIER Currier got lucky last year when his oil painting of ocean waves bathed in sunlight, titled Far Horizon 2018, won Best of Show and the $10,000 grand prize.

He had won secondary prizes in the past — but he also has been rejected altogether.

“It puts the spotlight on you,” Currier says of being a Best of Show winner. “But I don’t go with the expectation of winning an award. I go with the expectation of finding new customers and showing my work.”

Echoing a view expressed by his fellow winners, Currier says the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival and the Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa are the best arts shows in the state.

With his paintings priced from $5,000, Currier says he goes into a festival hoping to sell at least one piece. 

BEST OF SHOW WINNERS The Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival Best of Show Collection began in 1969 with a $750 purchase award.

Although there had been Best of Show awards since the inaugural festival in 1960, works earning the designation were bought by individuals for personal collections. Beginning in 1969, however, winning works were bought by the festival and donated to the city. In 2019, to celebrate the 60th festival, the purchase award was increased from $10,000 to $12,000. In 1977, the city designated the Winter Park Public Library as the official repository for the collection. That’s where you can see all the works from 1969 forward.
