and the art milieu. More or less
in chronological order, we look
at images of art from different
movements, compare them to
that in different places and time,
including our own, learn about and
discuss the historical and social
context, note the formalisms of the
works, chat, have snacks, etc. Come
and bring a friend. It is an evolving
project to be made according to
your imaginating.
January-February book:
“Ways of Seeing” by John Berger
“‘This is an eye-opener in more ways
than one: by concentrating on how
we look at paintings ...he will almost
certainly change the way you look at
pictures.” London Sunday Times
Your Art In Public Places
Jane Owen
he public, the venues, and our members have spontaneously
expressed pleasure at the new installation line-up. First we
find the Home Show of Toelle Hovan at the Oak Hill City Hall,
joyfully demonstrating the artful designs of our domesticity. Then
we nestle in the gently rendered smooth nostalgic still-lifes of Liz
Clayton in the Oak Hill Library. Moving north, we encounter Ex
cathedra, the excellent patterns of effort in civilizing life, by Pat
Muscarella in the Edgewater Library. The New Smyrna City Hall
features strong and silent statements of multiple entendre White
Out for all seasons by Jane Owen. The UCC Community Hall holds
the overriding Rides Ride of Tammy Siems, the soulful Natives R
US by Betty Spalding, and the spirited spiritual expressions of Cheri Erdman.
And as promised, the fantastic pastels, mostly landscapes, by artists cultivated
and pruned in Carolyn Land’s class are artfully presented in the New Smyrna
Library. The consistency in quality of composition, perspective, handling of
hue, treatment of medium, and mounting is remarkable. And all are delightful.
The reception Sunday, December 7 was well attended and hub of happiness.
Deborah Mongato won the Bert Fish Medical Center Competition by garnering
the most votes from staff. Her striking work has received superior attention in
our other venues. Before the end of the year, her installation on the Bert Fish
Winner’s Wall will compensate for our sad farewell to the Visage of Voyage of
Constanz Elder.
The Competition Wall in Bert Fish will be installed at 6 PM, Thursday, January
8th, and you should bring one or two pieces there at that time. Currently,
there is space for 3D work on counters in NSB Library, and some wall space
can still be liberated for a savvy new artist there. The new installations of
the venues mentioned are planned to start in March. That is not as far away
as you think. You should commit yourself and start preparing as soon as
possible. Also, our services some times include helping artists and different
venues pair for one-time exhibits or special events, so if you would like
a team on your case for such an event, let us know. Most venues include
opportunities for receptions and artist’s talks as well as some media coverage.
You have the responsibility of doing your part of the work of networking if
you elect this enhancement, possibly making a career out of hobby, possibly
just fun. The best way to make get on board is to email Jane at
owenrix@earthlink.net, or call 386-428-1225. You can also leave a note in the
AIPP mail slot in the studios or use the sign up board there if you can find
where it’s moved.
We welcome volunteers who would like to take a leadership role in placing art
in public places, interacting with different sectors of the community, getting to
know more artists and the art of curating and developing some insight into the
dynamics of the art scene. My alter ego in this work is Ruby Jones. You can
have responsibility, but someone will have your back, just as you help others,
so take a good mouthful. Not too much to chew and delicious.
For Finale and Commencement, Thanks from our Heart , to all who have
participated in and supported the AIPP programs. You are the difference. It
counts.

From the President
Joe Anglin
Dear Members,
Our Holiday Luncheon was a great success and enjoyed by all present.
Thanks to all who helped make it so.
Our hardworking Gallery Co-chairs
Sue Stoddart (left) and Constanz Elder

Messersmith at the Holiday Luncheon.
As we approach the New Year, I hope you each will consider taking a
class or a workshop in the coming months. Also I urge you to consider
exhibiting your art work in our gallery or in one of our many “Art In
Public Places“ venues. New Smyrna Beach is becoming known for it’s
arts community, and AWI is a big part of that growing reputation which
includes each of you.
Happy Holiday Season and Happy New Year !
Artist Workshop members came
through again this year with their
generous donations for the local food
pantry.
