Art and science and fun define our early childhood classes. The most creative teaching artists worked with scientists this winter to design our 2013 ArtSpace curriculum for children, and professional artists have prepared nine weeks of Arts Institutes, medium specific visual and performing arts classes for middle school and high school students. Seven visual arts studios, two dance studios, two theaters, three exhibition galleries, and our preschool class rooms exist in an amazing building that was designed to be a perfect chaos of creativity, thought, and conversation.

Adding to the summer curriculum for children, teenagers, and adults, we will host lectures, films, art talks, and performances for adults and for families. Come to Downtown Lawrence, to swim, visit our public library, Freedom’s Frontier, the Warehouse Arts area, Watkins Community Museum, or the Van Go sales gallery; eat, walk, and shop. When you do, you will be in Lawrence’s newly dedicated Cultural District. The William S. Burroughs Trail begins here; Langston Hughes lived here; many important Civil War and Civil Rights moments occurred in and around this historic downtown and the East Lawrence neighborhood. The back of this catalog features a work in progress, a map of the Lawrence Cultural District, a place defined by vernacular architecture, political activism, artists and artisans, alleyways, independent businesses, and significant cultural investment. It is part of the soul of our community, part of what makes Lawrence a great place to live.

The Lawrence Arts Center is for everyone. We are committed to access for all to performance, exhibitions, and a vibrant, rich curriculum in visual art, dance, and theater. Please join us this summer. You can walk on in!

A NEW WAY TO THINK AND PLAY

1sT THRU 5TH GRADES

The Lawrence Arts Center leads the way in taking STEM to STEAM. Starting in 2009, the White House and the United States Department of Education challenged the nation to find innovative, rigorous ways to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to youth. Acknowledging the vital role art has in teaching innovative and creative thinking, the Art Space program places the Lawrence Arts Center at the epicenter of the movement to add an “A” for “art”, and turning STEM into STEAM. Art Space is the integrated visual art and science program for students 1st -5th grades. Based on the idea that critical thinking, problem solving and the ability to innovate are essential skills in all educational environments, Arts Space is an inspired learning experience where students try new things, test the limits of their imaginations, practice innovation and build creative connections. Each week, Art Space camps focus on a key principle of art and connects it with a scientific concept. Camps are team-taught and designed to balance experiences in visual art with performing arts. Once a week, scientists-in-residence work with instructors and students to connect the principle of the week with scientific concepts in an atmosphere where students apply creativity in a new context. Camps often incorporate visits by artists and STEM professionals. This integrated science and art curriculum meets national art education and science standards and was developed for the program through a grant from the Elizabeth Schultz Foundation, Tradewind Energy, Enel Green Power, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Bartlett & West, and Target.

exhibitions Antecedent Gallery Space

33rd Annual Benefit Lawrence Arts Center Art Auction & Exhibition Arts-Based Preschool

Sensational press reviews and exorbitant prices commonly associated with the world of contemporary art may cause the original role of art to be overlooked. Humans once painted on the walls of caves to simply document basic aspects of their lives. In order to understand art today, one must know something about the context of contemporary theory and practice which can be highly challenging to the casual art viewer.

Exhibition & Silent Auction Exhibition April 15 thru 19 March 15 thru April 13 Work from the Lawrence Arts Center’s award Public Reception March 29 | 5 to 9pm winning early education program on display.

Live Auction April 13 | 5:30pm (live auction begins at 7:30pm) USD 497 Public Make reservations by phone 785.843.2787 with credit card or at the Arts Center with credit card, check, and cash. Tickets are $40 in advance (until 4pm April 12), $50 at door.

School Art Show

The type of work featured in the Antecedent Gallery is not an attempt to exhibit the “best” work in a traditional sense, but to display work that has a unique and interesting fundamental purpose behind it. Art that expresses basic needs; art that is therapeutic, healing, obsessive, highly secretive, troublesome; art that is inspired by a personal need or a unique perspective that speaks from deep within the artist’s soul.

Established by artists in 1981 as a way to fund a not-for-profit gallery, the auction makes it possible for us to fund our exhibitions program now occupying five spaces in the Arts Center and enriched by Art Talks, films, and more.

Works selected by art teachers from Lawrence public school students will be on display throughout the Lawrence Arts Center. This is a great opportunity for viewers to see the talent coming from the Lawrence community.

Approximately 150 pieces generously donated by artists will be on exhibit in our galleries for 4 weeks leading up to our April 13, 2013 event. Visitors to the exhibition may make bids on both live and silent auction items; all bids must start at 50% of retail value. Patrons may purchase pieces before the auction for buy-out bids of 200% of retail value. In 2012, auction sales averaged over 100% of retail prices.

Student shows sponsored by

The Antecedent Gallery is located on the second floor at the north end of the Lawrence Arts Center. This project is curated by Wayne Propst and Roger Shimomura.

INSIGHT A rt T al k s This lecture series brings visiting and exhibiting artists to the podium to talk about their work, and opens dialogue between artist and viewer. INSIGHT Art Talks bring a deeper understanding of works on display in the galleries throughout the year. Check website for scheduled talks.

The Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Art Auction is one of the largest fundraisers of its kind in our area and is supported by many individuals and businesses. The 2013 featured auction sponsor is Stevens & Brand. Callahan Creek, Allen Press, Printing Solutions, and Evan Williams Catering provide major in-kind support. Over 500 people attend on auction night, and hundreds more view the exhibition. The goal of the auction is to have the financial support to provide dynamic and engaging exhibitions throughout the year.

The auction will take a new approach this year by featuring four artists. Kent Michael Smith, Lisa Lala, Archie Scott Gobber, and Ben Ahlvers exhibit nationally and have bright careers ahead of them as artists. We hope you will join us in our support of the Arts Center exhibitions program.

He transforms common object in to an art experience through manipulation in the studio, often expanding scale.

These larger-than-life, exquisitely crafted sculptures cause the viewer to experience the common object in a new way. Carlton Bradford is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona.

Patrick Vincent

Monika Laskowska

Exhibition May 17 thru June 22 RECEPTION May 17 | 7 to 9pm

Exhibition June 28 thru July 27 RECEPTION June 28 | 5 to 9pm

Human societies exist as a network of overlapping individuals working together to create an identity—this identity is representative of the whole over the solitary.

This exhibition will be representative of a collaborative print project in which individuals have been invited to submit their image to be merged with that of an insect or arachnid.

The resulting combined image then becomes a hand-carved installation of print-based media. The collusion of ‘bugs’ and humans reflects the notion that a collective identity, structure, and consciousness is emergent from the many individual efforts. The interlocking web of people and place is the impetus and reflection of this body of work.

Monika will display her newest body of work created during her year-long residency at the Lawrence Arts Center.

2012/13 Printmaking Artist in Residence

Patrick Vincent received his B.F.A. from the University of Minnesota and his M.F.A. in printmaking from Arizona State University.

He has worked for the design/letterpress workspace Studio on Fire, the Minnesota Center for Book Arts, and Pyracantha Press.

He operates Twin Bee Press. www.twinbeepress.com

String Theories 13 Curated by Diana Dunkley and Margaret Rose Exhibition May 17 thru June 30 RECEPTION May 17 | 7 to 9pm String Theories will be an installation work created by several local artists and community groups, and will be installed in the front gallery of the Arts Center. Approximately 50 participants or groups will create a ‘string’ using the broad theme of String Theory to inspire creation and collaboration. This installation will completely fill the gallery and provide for interactivity and will incorporate performances.

2012/13 Ceramics Artist in Residence

Monika Laskowska was born in Bydgoszcz, Poland and currently lives in Lawrence, KS, in the United States, where she is the Artist in Residence in Lawrence Arts Center.

Monika earned her M.F.A. in Ceramics from the Ohio State University. She received her BFA from the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology in Galway, Ireland, and studied at The National Art Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria, as part of the Erasmus Exchange Program. She also holds a B.A. in English from the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznan, Poland. Her work is concerned with the ongoing process of change and explores ideas of containment and permeability, rigidity and plasticity, persistence and adaptability, space and boundaries.

If it rides, bring it on! Ever since man noticed the phenomenon of the cornerless rolling rock he has been coming up with more ways to use the labor saving invention we now know of as the wheel. In celebration of with all things wheeled, Lawrence holds this event to honor mankind’s large creative cerebral cortex, bipedal locomotion and opposable thumbs. Art Tougeau is an all-inclusive event that applauds self-expression in the medium of all things wheeled.

Kick off the summer celebrating creativity and honoring the human spirit with a sense of humor. Or, just hang out and have some good, clean fun on wheels.

Post Parade Award Ceremony immediately following the parade Park your ride and meet the parade kin southside of the Replay Lounge, 946 Mass. Don’t take the awards too seriously — nobody does. A trio of judges make it up as they go in a heartfelt kind of way and figure out who deserves an award. Parade folks who were witty, inventive or heartfelt, or just did an especially good job, the trophies do not always go home with the fanciest ride. It’s really all about the folks who’ve shown noticeable effort, creativity and inventiveness. Aside from the trophies, absolutely everyone in the parade, from the 5-year-old on a trike to the police who help mark off the streets, gets an Official Art Tougeau Parade Ribbon.

Which is kind of the point.

POETRY OFF The Page

March 15 | 7pm | FREE

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Lawrence Arts Center and the Lawrence Public Library bring Poetry Off the Page to the city again this year. Lawrencians should expect to be surprised this April as Poetry off the Page partners and Poet in Residence Mark Hennessey delivers poetry to the public in fresh and surprising ways.

Kicking off the Poetry Off the Page season this year is the Kansas State final of Poetry Out Loud, the national poetry recitation featuring the state most talented youth as they interpret and recite poems for the competition. Each year, over 250,000 8-12th grade students complete nationwide. State finalists win a trip to Washington DC to compete for a $20,000 scholarship award. With one of the strongest states in the competition each year, the Kanas youth competing in Poetry Out Loud provide new, fresh, and often moving interpretations of familiar, and not so familiar poems.

Poetry Off the Page is a month-long, organic, series of events, that includes installations, readings, lectures and poetry centered happenings will take place through April. Lawrencians should be on the lookout for poetry to show up in unexpected places and ways. Check the Lawrence Arts Center eblasts and website for up to the minute details and reports.
