Carnegie fundraiser gets new venue at The Grand in New Albany BY JEROD CLAPP jerod.clapp@newsandtribune.com
N
EW ALBANY — For 20 years, it’s worked to keep programming and exhibits fresh through its centerpiece fundraiser, which kept growing every year. Now, it’s following up on that idea, but has something a little more grand in mind. For the first time since 1995, the Carnegie Center for Art and History will host “A Taste for Art and History” somewhere other than its museum on Spring Street. Instead, it’s opting for more space at The Grand. Sally Newkirk, director of the Carnegie Center, said as more and more people attended, the center realized it needed more room for guests, food, auction items and everything else. “We ended up where we almost outgrew the space here,” Newkirk said. “We always had the event here at the museum, it got to be very crowded and a few years ago, we ended up using the Sprigler’s parking lot behind us to install a series of tents outside just to accommodate more people.” Michelle Owings, secretary of the Carnegie’s board of directors, said it wasn’t an easy decision to weigh at first, but she thinks guests will enjoy the shift in venue.
SOIN THE KNOW
• WHEN: 6:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 11 • WHERE: The Grand, 138 E Market St., New Albany • TICKETS: $65 for members, $75 for non-members • MORE INFO: RSVP by Sept. 9 by going to www.carnegiecenter.org or calling 812-944-7336
“We put a lot of thought into the decision and when we first started talking about it, I think a lot of the board members were really wary about moving it way form the museum because we like to showcase it and show what it’s all about,” Owings said. “It just got to the point where the event got so big.” And this year marks a big milestone for the event. Two decades of fundraising helped inspire the board for the theme of this year’s event — the Roaring ’20s. Guests are encouraged to dress in their favorite ’20s-themed party attire and enter a contest for a prize. “People seem to be very excited about it,” Owings said.

• WHAT: ‘Unexpected Art’ in Jeffersonville
• WHEN: Ongoing • WHERE: Jeffersonville • INFO: jeffersonvilleart.com JEFFERSONVILLE — The ‘Unexpected Art Project’ aims to enliven a small area of each of Jeffersonville's six districts. The idea is to transform locations that normally might be overlooked but with sitespecific creations, the locations are turned into small gems of unexpected public art, according to an email from the Jeffersonville Public Art Commission. This art elevates awareness and is not meant to alter reality, but instead expose what is already around us and make us feel much more a part of it. The Public Art Commission invites the public to locate, discover and share the six unexpected outdoor art pieces created by artist Cheryl Ulrich Barnett. Barnett, Floyds Knobs, was selected out of a dozen submissions. The Public Art Commission felt that not only was her concept intriguing but her sketches were playful yet power-
ful. The pieces that she has created for this project were all completed in a high fire clay body and fired to a temperature that will enable them to withstand the outdoor elements. “Even in areas like Kentuckiana, where it is mostly assumed that water is abundant and cheap, awareness of water efficiency and conservation practices is important," Barnett said. “The discussions need to begin now and gain momentum while water is still plentiful. One way of increasing
the momentum for discussion, water efficiency, conservation and new and innovative ideas is to educate adults and children about the many ways that water impacts lives. In doing so, awareness and efforts can begin now.” The medium for all of these is ceramic, glazed and fired to cone 6. The pieces are made to a scale that is on a personal level. This is intended to draw the viewer in to consider each piece and how water impacts each of the areas of their lives.

CARNEGIE: Auction includes big-ticket prizes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 “I’ve heard a lot of good feedback and it seems like a lot of people want to dress up. I’m sure there will be as many people who dress up as there will be who won’t, but I think it will be a fun evening.” Newkirk said the idea was floated by Robin Miller, one of the directors on Carnegie’s board. Newkirk said this year’s auctions also feature some big-ticket prizes. One lucky bidder in the live auction will get a choice of several condos from across the country, whether they’d rather go skiing or relax on a beach. She also said French Lick Resort has offered up a two-night stay at West Baden Springs Hotel, as well as golf for two at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick. She said "A Taste for Art and History" has been a success from year one, but the measure of success has changed a lot since 1995. “When I say it was a huge success for us 20 years ago, we probably raised $6,000 or $7,000,” Newkirk said. “We decided to continue it each year, people liked it and it continued
to grow. We are moving it this year because it is our 20th anniversary and we’re expecting more people to come.” Last year, she said they were able to raise about $43,000 before expenses. Since 2008, they’ve brought in $267,000, all to go toward programming and exhibits at the museum. “It’s the money from the 'Taste for Art and History' that goes for the programming here,” Newkirk said. “For instance, the money that we raised from Taste in the past was a big part of the funding from for the Underground Railroad exhibit and the Lucy Nichols exhibit.” This time around, they’re hoping to build an exhibit based on George Morrison, an artist who painted several landscapes of New Albany from the 1800s. Most of those paintings are on display at the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, but Newkirk said bringing the collection to the museum would help create an exhibit to show what the city looked like nearly 200 years ago. One of the paintings, which shows the city as it was in the 1850s from the vantage point of Silver Hills, hangs
in the museum and she said it’s an important piece of the city’s heritage. “That’s why this painting is so valuable,” Newkirk said. “Not just that it shows New Albany as it was in 1851, but Mark Wetherington, the director of the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, came to see this piece and he was talking about how this shows what Shippingport and Portland were like in 1851, so it’s a very significant painting for the whole community.” She also said the funding would help keep other programs going, including those for children, to help them learn more about the arts while staying in the community. Owings said it’s always great to see so many people in the community support the Carnegie Center through the fundraiser and she can’t wait to see how many people come out this year. “We just have a gem in the Carnegie,” Owings said. “I’ve had a chance to visit other Carnegie Libraries that have been turned into museums and they’re just beautiful. We’re just lucky to have something like this in our community.”
