“Many, many individuals have shared ” in this dream and

made it happen.

— Carol Henriquez

A

n organization like Arts Umbrella is not built by one person. It is built by

a community. It is built by artists, parents, volunteers, staff, instructors, teachers, donors, corporations, foundations, government and the most

precious ingredient of all, the children, our reason for being.

Gloria’s eyes as they spoke about and shared their vision with the artistic community.

Among these, were Jack Shadbolt, Bill Reid and Gordon Smith. From the time it was only an idea on paper, they “got it”.

Jack Shadbolt donated his art annually to each and every Arts Umbrella “Splash” art auction. Support from an artist of his stature gave the organization not only monetary support but the courage and encouragement to move forward. On one occasion when Jack visited Arts Umbrella, he saw preschool children’s artwork inspired by his butterflies and remarked, “I work my whole life to be as bold and fresh as they are naturally”.

“Jack remained so loyal to Arts Umbrella over the years because its cause is so deserving and so related to the motivations of all serious artists. From my perspective, I believe it is vital to expose children to arts activities at an early age because it gives them an opportunity to make that bond between mind and body, which is so vital to human health. Not all of the children that attend Arts Umbrella will go on to become professional artists but they will benefit from their experience in deep ways nonetheless.”

A Tribute to Carol Henriquez

At the beginning, prominent local artists were seduced by the sparkle in Carol and

Bill Reid was passionate about giving children the opportunity to fulfill their creative potential and expand their minds through the arts. He inspired thousands of aspiring young artists with his vision and talent. He spoke of “the elegant line, the subtle curve, the sure precise brush stroke that gives us that sudden aching sense of identity with the distant cousin who first lovingly made it”. Bill was a giant in the world of art and Arts Umbrella benefitted enormously from his support.

It is a story about

Gordon Smith’s career as an artist has been paralleled by his career as an educator and supporter of up and coming artists and art educators. We are extremely grateful for Gordon’s long time support, both as a strong believer in the philosophy

community

of Arts Umbrella and as an artist contributing annually to our art auction, Splash.

Gordon set the standard for other artists to give us their best work. From the very beginning, he showered us with his amazing talents and led the way for many younger artists to do the same.

most important things we can ever do in our lives.

— Carol Henriquez

rts Umbrella began with a dream to build an art centre that would provide

quality arts education in the visual and performing arts for all children in the community, regardless of their ability to afford the classes or their

artistic gift. But the dream began for Carol even earlier, as an 11-year-old child in Saskatoon. At a local fair, Carol won first prize for a painting she did of her neighbour’s house. That singular moment gave her a sense of who Carol was as a child, and what she did. On that day, she was an artist.

Children at Arts Umbrella learn to dance, to paint, to sculpt and to perform.

But what we are really giving them are the tools to live a productive and inspired life. We believe that, through arts education, the development of a child’s self-confidence, the building of skills and the discovery of their ability to create, will open windows of opportunity and instill in them the excitement that comes when you have a dream and realize that you actually have the ability to achieve it.

“We started taking our children to Arts Umbrella when they were four.

Then the most amazing thing began to happen. They began to attack their ‘work’ differently. They began to explore more than one approach to a problem and many of their approaches were extraordinary. Whether it was building something with materials they found around the house to looking at a math problem from school, they had unconventional ways of seeing

and doing. In a changing world, where ‘thinking out of the box’

is as important a skill as writing, Arts Umbrella is teaching this skill.

Anyone who still views this kind of education as a frill is short-changing their children.”

— Casey Hrynkow, Arts Umbrella parent “I know all about clay. I’ve been taking it for three years.”
