s of r a e Y 0 5 g in t a Celebr

Let the wild rumpus begin! South Shore Arts is proud to announce the Northwest Indiana presentation of a nationallytouring exhibit celebrating the 50th anniversary of acclaimed author and illustrator Maurice Sendak’s best known work, Where the Wild Things Are. South Shore Arts brings Maurice Sendak: The Memorial Exhibition, a visual record of Sendak's artistic and literary legacy, to the Center for Visual & Performing Arts, February 14 through April 12, 2020. Organized in 2013, the exhibit has been seen at over 40 venues across the U.S., including Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry and the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. Maurice Sendak was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Polish immigrant parents. His childhood was deeply impacted at a young age by the deaths of family and friends as a part of the Holocaust. He developed health issues at a young age and was confined to his bedroom for much of his youth. In his isolation, Sendak’s imagination would run wild with ideas that he would bring to life on paper. At the age of 12, Sendak was taken by his family to see Disney’s Fantasia, an experience that would be a driving force impelling him to become an illustrator ever after. Sendak’s first published illustration came in 1947, after which he spent much of his time in the 1950s illustrating children’s books. In 1956, he came out Kenny’s Window, his first written and illustrated book. Sendak would continue writing and illustrating books throughout the 50s until, in 1963, his most famous book, Where the Wild Things Are, hit bookshelves, making him a notable illustrator and writer. The plot of Where the Wild Things Are follows young Max, who has been sent to his bedroom without dinner for disobedience. Max escapes to the land of the wild things, where he becomes friends with the native creatures who allow him to be their king. After all the fun, Max begins to miss home and travels back through the wild land and into his bedroom, where dinner is waiting for him.

Unlike most children’s literature of the period, Where the Wild Things Are was not a typically happy or light story. The author’s goal was to make Max a realistic boy, sent to his bedroom with an imagination that any child might have after being confined to such a space. Sendak said in an interview, “In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There is a cruelty to childhood

and there is anger. I did not want to reduce Max to the trite image of the good little boy that you find in too many books.” Maurice Sendak would go on to write over 50 books, including In The Night Kitchen, Little Bear and Outside Over There. All are beautifully illustrated featuring Sendak’s wellknown cross-hatched drawing techniques. In addition to illustrating and writing, Sendak used his talents to produce an animated television production called Really Rosie, featuring the voice of Carole King. He also designed sets and costumes for various stage versions of his books, as well as opera productions, including Mozart’s The Magic of Flute and Prokovfiev’s Love for Three Oranges. In 1983, Sendak designed the stage production of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. Maurice Sendak passed away in 2012 after complications from a stroke. His work in illustration and writing continue to live on, popular with children and adults alike. Throughout the run of Maurice Sendak: The Memorial Exhibition, there will be weekly readings and daily tours of the exhibit that can be scheduled by calling South Shore Arts at 219/836-1839, ext. 108. A free Family Arts Fest will be held on Sunday, February 23 from 10am-2pm with events and crafts scheduled for children of all ages. The family arts day will be hosted through out the Center for Visual & Performing arts and will be hosted by Theater At The Center, The Northwest Indiana Symphony and South Shore Arts. All events will be free an open to the public.

76TH ANNUAL

South Shore Arts celebrated the 76th anniversary of the annual Salon Show, September 15 through November 10, 2019. This year’s exhibit juror was artist David Klamen, Chancellor’s Professor and Dean of the School of the Arts at Indiana University Northwest. Klamen earned his Bachelor's of Fine Arts at the University of Illinois, Champaign/ Urbana, and his Master's of Fine Arts in Painting at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has been exhibited in international-level solo and group exhibitions across the US, Europe and Asia and are in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to name a few. Out of over 340 works entered, 45 artists and 61 pieces were selected for this year’s exhibit. Over $10,000 in prizes were awarded to 24 artists thanks to the generosity of many longtime donors, including the Surovek Family Fund and Tracy & Marc Schwimmer.

A Concert with Courses Gets

Bigger Than Ever!

“A Concert with Courses,” the Northwest Indiana Symphony’s annual fundraising gala was held on Friday, October 25, 2019, at the Halls of St. George in Schererville. 250 guests were greeted with music from the Youth Orchestra’s accomplished string and jazz ensembles as they enjoyed cocktails, conversation, browsing and bidding on a great silent auction that included a pizza party at Kirk’s Chicago apartment, gift certificates to the Lyric and the Langham Hotel, dinner for eight at Gamba, second row Blackhawks seats and a chance to dedicate a song at the Holiday Pops Concert. The room was warm and autumnal, decorated with colorful fall flowers. The “Olympic Fanfare” opened the evening, calling guests to their tables. A delicious meal of

filet mignon and chicken Piccata was served with “to die for” mini bundt cakes for dessert. The Orchestra played everything from “Spider-Man” to the “William Tell Overture” with a moving solo of “Schindler’s List” performed by Symphony Concertmaster Michele Lekas. Principal donors and chair sponsors were invited to sit with orchestra members for a 15-minute musical set. Maestro Kirk Muspratt provided a fantastic program ending with the beloved “Ode to Joy” performed with the Symphony’s 120-member volunteer chorus. The evening received rave reviews and was successful in raising money for the Symphony’s music and education Programs. Heartfelt thanks to the Gala Committee, Board of Directors, staff and contributors.

Three performances of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra’s 2019 Education Concerts were presented over a two-day period at Living Hope Church on October 8 and 10, 2019. This year, 3,000 students and adults had the opportunity to attend the Symphony’s performance of "One Small Step: A Lunar Landing Adventure," featuring a wide variety of music—from Holst’s The Planets to John Williams’ Adventures on Earth from the film E.T. For many students, the education concert is often their first exposure to live classical music. It is an experience that can have a lasting impact on a young person. In the weeks that follow the performance, the students send in letters telling us just how much they loved the concert, and the Symphony staff delights in reading each and every letter. This year, Mars from The Planets by Gustav Holst, was a definite fan favorite. Students noted that they liked the dramatic drumbeats and the large projection of Mars on the screen—and, of course, Maestro Muspratt’s wonderful description of the music.

The ongoing success of the Education Concerts is largely owed to the dedication of the Symphony staff and volunteers, as well as the financial support of Community Healthcare System, Peoples Bank, Manhart/Gibbons Family Memorial Fund, Kappa Kappa Kappa, Inc., Beta Rho Chapter, and Mr. & Mrs. Glen C. Hannah. The Symphony education department would also like to thank Living Hope Church for welcoming us into their auditorium and being such fantastic partners. For anyone who has attended one of our regular season concerts at Living Hope, you already know what a perfect venue it is for listening to music!

Education Concerts Take a

Remembering a Great Friend to South Shore Arts The Salon Show awards ceremony on Sunday, September 22, was also the setting for a memorial tribute to someone without whose kind, South Shore Arts would never have had a Salon Show at all. Suzanne Cooley was an intrepid volunteer who provided our organization with decades of support. Suzanne served as board president of Northern Indiana Arts Association, as South Shore Arts was previously known, back in the mid-1970s, when women were listed as Mrs. David P. Cooley. She was active on the board when NIAA erected “The Man of Steel” sculpture in Harrison Park in downtown Hammond. It was also in those years that a very notable bicentennial exhibit was organized, curated by a director emeritus of the Whitney Museum in New York, and including many notable Chicago-based artists such as Ed Paschke, Ellen Lanyon and Seymour Rosofsky, along with artists of the Calumet Region. NIAA also organized an annual art fair in Wicker Park, and Suzanne’s kids remember being dragged, willingly or not, into service as these arduous ordeals were assembled year after year, the weather always posing the biggest concern—it was too hot, too cold, they got rained out, etc. It’s funny to hear about these old days from other people whose parents similarly dragged them to help out at the art center, forcing them to spend their Saturdays moving sometimes still wet paintings around when the Salon Show was being selected by that year’s juror or whatever task was at hand. It’s a wonder they grew up with any appreciation for the arts at all. In any event, being the head of NIAA was no easy feat. There was a lot of stress, but Suzanne thrived on chaos. As Suzanne’s friend Barbara Stodola recalls, being the president of NIAA was like a game of hot potato: once you got stuck with it, it was hard to find somebody to pass it on to, and you couldn’t leave unless you had somebody to take your place.

Suzanne Cooley with her late husband, Dr. David Cooley, in 2011

Suzanne wanted Barbara to succeed her, so she and Anne Beckman, the board president who had preceded Sue, took her out to lunch, squeezed her into the corner of a booth so she couldn’t get out, and hit her with their plan of succession. Suzanne had a wide circle of friends and was good at twisting people’s arms. “If you don’t do this,” Barbara recalls her saying, “you’re not going to be my friend anymore.” And thus Barbara succeeded Suzanne as NIAA board president. Art was not Suzanne’s only interest. She was also active with the League of Women Voters, the PTA, the Tri-Kappa sorority, the Red Cross and CETA, a ’70s-era federal jobtraining program for lower-income individuals that had its roots in the depression-era WPA public art program. She taught Sunday school at Woodmar United Methodist Church and was instrumental in starting a PFLAG group, standing for Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays—this despite the fact that none of her children was either lesbian, gay nor any of the other myriad possibilities that the term LGBTQ and so forth conjures today. Because her father’s job as a union organizer in steel mills along the Ohio River forced her family to move many times before Suzanne graduated from high school, she developed an outgoing personality in order to get noticed. In high school, Suzanne was a member of the Columbus (Ohio) East Dance Team which had a weekly live television show hosted by Jonathan Winters. Suzanne’s outgoing persona served her throughout her life and was reflected in her many charitable activities, her commitment to political involvement and speaking her mind on subjects ranging from women’s rights, the Peace movement, LGBTQ rights and the environment. As her children, Tracy, Mark and Jane wrote in her obituary, “There will never be another one like her and she will be missed by many in the Calumet Region.” Suzanne passed away on August 28, 2019.
