Thank you to those who led the way in the Chihuly Renewal Project campaign; helping secure $42,000. There’s still time for you to be a part of this project. Donate today at

www.krasl.org to help us reach that $50,000 goal.

MESSAgE FROM ThE DIRECTOR

Photo credit: John Madill

In 2000, the community joined with the Krasl Art Center to purchase the Dale Chihuly sculpture Beacon Gold Chandelier. Dedicated to long time supporter, friend of Mr. & Mrs. Krasl and former treasurer of the Board of Directors Ed Conrad, the sculpture has illuminated the entrance of the Krasl Art Center for more than a decade. In May, the Krasl Art Center launched the Chihuly Renewal Project to raise funds to replace the failing lights illuminating the sculpture, so it will again shine from the Krasl Art Center for all who encounter it to enjoy. Following a three-week closure (September 3-21) the renewed sculpture will be celebrated during the exhibition, Sculpture Here, opening on September 21. Thank you to the leadership of the Chihuly Renewal Project Fundraising Committee chaired by Dr. and Mrs. Stuart and Lori Boekeloo and including Len Amat, Ed Conrad, and Andrea Wilson. We extend our gratitude to every donor from the child who dropped a quarter into the donation box to our members and to our corporate and foundation sponsors. Each of you have made the Chihuly Renewal Project a success. Thank you.

This summer marked the 51st Art Fair on the Bluff. When a handful of artists conceived of a clothes line art fair along Lake Bluff Park in 1962, you supported the idea. Your support and the leadership of Director of Art Fairs, Sara Shambarger, resulted in what has become an international art fair ranked 20th in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine. And your support hasn’t wavered. Local businesses sponsor the Krasl Art Center and the Art Fair, small businesses donate goods, more than 400 individuals donate time as volunteers and committee members. When the 216 artists and 70,000+ visitors come to our community in July you welcome them with open arms in your neighborhoods, shops, restaurants, and homes. Thank you for the support you provide each year to continue to improve this nationally ranking event.

The Krasl Art Center board of directors and I extend appreciation to outgoing members of the board of directors Renee Williams and Joen Brambilla. Additionally we welcome two new members Brandon Pierce and Eric Misterovich who begin their terms on October 1, 2012. As a member of the Krasl Art Center you are invited to attend the Annual Member’s Meeting on Thursday, November 1, 6:30 pm to meet our board and learn more about the year ahead.

Sculpture here: The krasl Art Center permanent CollectionSeptember 21 – November 4, 2012

Opening Reception: FridaySeptember 21, 5:30-7:30 pm

Shortly after opening its doors in 1980, the Krasl Art Center decided to focus its permanent collection on contemporary outdoor sculpture. This decision stemmed from the desire to develop a collection that was unique to the region, one that would creatively enliven the art center’s grounds, and would put minimal strain on the interior spaces of the center. As an art collecting institution, the development of the permanent collection also made the KAC eligible for accreditation as an art museum by the American Alliance of Museums (formerly: American Association of Museums), a status it continues to achieve today.

There are many untold stories, anecdotes and histories behind the artworks within the KAC collection. This exhibition will, for the first time, share the background of the entire collection. Smaller works, preliminary studies, maquettes and illustrations of the collection will be on view in the galleries. Footage of installations, interviews with artists, as well as Olga Krasl, former KAC staff, board and community members will be screened in the galleries also. Finally, archival documents and photographs flesh out the collection’s history even further.

Today, the KAC collection includes 38 sculptures by regionally, nationally and internationally recognized artists. Sculptures are placed along the Lake Michigan waterfront and the St. Joseph River, and in the cities of New Buffalo, Benton Harbor, St. Joseph and South Haven. The KAC is proud that much of its collection is located outdoors, accessible to the general public and free of charge morning, noon and night. Sculpture Here is an opportunity to learn more about the KAC sculptures in southwest Michigan.

The Natural and the Imaginary: kathleen Elliot in Dar Davis gallery

primal Inspirations: Selections from habatat galleries in gallery IINovember 30, 2012 – January 13, 2013

Opening Reception: Friday, November 30, 5:30-7:30 pm

In 1962 two seminal artist workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art led to the birth of the American Studio Glass Movement. Harvey Littleton, a Cranbrook trained ceramicist and professor at the University of Madison, along with Dominick Labino, a glass research scientist at the Johns-Manville plant near Toledo, introduced hot glass as a viable artist’s material in the making of fine art. Since then, glass has grown in popularity and its boundaries have expanded to newfound degrees of expression previously unfathomable.

The year 2012 marks the 50th anniversary of this development of studio art glass in America. To celebrate this milestone and recognize the many talented artists involved, more than 160 glass demonstrations, lectures and exhibitions will take place in museums, galleries, art centers, universities, organizations, festivals and other venues nationwide. The KAC is pleased to participate in this celebration through the display of two fabulous glass exhibitions within its galleries.

The Natural and the Imaginary features intricate glass sculptures created by California-based artist Kathleen Elliot. Using flameworked glass, Kathleen’s art suggests familiar yet fantastical fauna. Consisting of botanical shapes including leaves, flowers, fruits and vines, the sculptures take a magical turn through their imaginative combinations of color and form.

Primal Inspirations: Selections from Habatat Galleries showcases artworks by internationally acclaimed glass artists whose art is influenced by the formal, visual and spiritual elements of ancient and tribal artifacts. Artists in this exhibition include William Morris, Rick Beck, José Chardiet, Deanna Clayton, Davide Salvadore and Preston Singletary. Primal Inspirations is organized by Habatat galleries and was featured at the Muskegon Museum of Arts; it is a dynamic and visually exciting exhibition, not to be missed!

Ophidian by Monica Correia & Terry RathjeSeptember 21-November 4

Artist talk Thursday, October 4, 7:00 pm. This talk is part of the Krasl Art Center’s Thoughtful Thursdays lecture series Creative Space. It is free and open to the public.

Monica Correia was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; she holds an MFA in 3D Design from the University of Iowa where she is currently the head of the 3D Design area. Terry Rathje was born in Eastern Iowa and also holds an MFA in 3D Design from the University of Iowa. He has been an artist, graphic designer, welder, and craftsman, and now teaches Graphic Design at Western Illinois University.

Both construct objects that are functional as well as objects that are a pure celebration of form; their installations invite viewers to experience and enjoy both the space in which they exist, and the space they create. Ophidian is a brand new collaboration among the artists. It is a house-like structure made of flexible polyurethane foam that will fill the artlab, inviting guests to both walk through its interior and enjoy new views of the gallery through its many shaped openings.

Lisa walcottNovember 30, 2012-January 13, 2013

Artist talk Thursday, November 29, 7:00 pm. This talk is part of the Krasl Art Center’s Thoughtful Thursdays lecture series Creative Space. It is free and open to the public.

Lisa Walcott is interested in things that slip through your fingers, flash before your eyes or hover in the spaces between. This includes the subtle movements of smoke curls, or slowly gurgling bubbles, or more agitating movements, such the buzzing circuit of an irritating housefly. From intangible places, comes artwork that is lyrical, sometimes sensual and often uncanny. It is constantly moving, but stuck in a single moment; isolated, but full of room to guess. Part absurdist vignette, part surrealist ditty, and part sculptural pursuit, the artwork of this Holland, Michigan-based Cranbrook graduate offers a unique experience that tends to linger in one’s memory long after viewing.

ARTS EDuCATIONThere’s no end to the list of statistics we could cite about the economic impact of the arts on a community, but numbers fall woefully short when attempting to quantify the impact art can have on an individual. This influence is gauged exclusively in the private thoughts of those of us who find it at the core of who we are, how we view the world, what we use to define greatness, and our experience when art delivers an indescribable moment of visual communication conveyed in a language unto itself. The path we take to becoming an artist, art professional or educator, appreciator or patron tells the story of art’s wide reaching capacity to create memories, form character, and make careers. The first spark that ignited an interest could have been the fragrance of a fresh box of crayons and their waxy pull across a soft page. Or perhaps a favorite storybook whisked a young imagination away to another time and place with captivating illustrations. Maybe it came along later in life, in a quiet gallery, when the voice of a single work of art whispered,

or screamed, as if no one else was in the room. Surely you too have a unique story that has brought you to holding this newsletter in your hand, and our educational programs are centered on opening the doors that bring those stories into being as well as ushering them along.

The KAC art educators have their stories too, which fuels their commitment to teaching classes and workshops, providing outreach services as art facilitators, and conducting tours in our galleries and our outdoor sculpture collection. The talent they share is invaluable. Patrons who underwrite a scholarship might be able to put a specific number in ink, but the creativity their gift seeds is of immeasurable proportions in the mind of a talented youngster whose “art story” has just begun. Adults who expand their horizons in our studios are also adding to their life narratives with paint, clay and charcoal. Collectively, these individual acts and experiences play a part in defining our community and its culture. By participating in the arts we are building “the culture we

deserve,” as famously coined by Jacques Barzun.

We invite you to celebrate the public and private impact of the arts in our community by taking a class, attending our events, and spreading the word about your art history at the Krasl Art Center. We think you deserve it!

Faculty FocusPainter, illustrator and sculptor Nathan Margoni joined our faculty last summer as a teen camp sculpture instructor and proved to be an inspiration to the students.

Raised in St. Joseph, Nathan returned to the area after completing a Master of Fine Arts degree from State University of New York. He achieved his undergraduate degree at the Cleveland Institute of Art, and before that he spent time as a teen at the KAC serving as a studio art class assistant to Tess Story. Most recently Nathan was awarded a residency in Rotterdam where he completed the public art project Foot Cutout. Nathan will be teaching drawing and painting Certificate in the Arts classes this fall at the KAC, so check out our Fall Schedule of Classes for more information to learn the fine arts classics from this talented artist/instructor.

kRASL ART FAIR ON ThE BLuFFAfter last year’s 50th Anniversary, it was a challenge to top that stellar year! So we did that which we do best; select the highest quality artists from the 900 who applied, manage a successful marketing campaign, and keep the focus on the art! Many artists wrote to us after the fair, all with praise and thanks for a good and well run show. Some comments:

“We wanted to say that the show turned out great. Thanks

for having such a well organized event. It sure makes a difference (to artists) because it makes it enjoyable and stress free.”

“Krasl was the best art fair I’ve ever had. Sales were three times what I usually make. (I’m an oil painter). I had a lot of positive feed back (great for my ego) and I stayed with a couple from your Artist in Residence Program. I saved money, made a new friend and had a great time”.

“Our largest spender’s were from Chicago and points in Indiana. Many told us the Krasl Art Fair was the one show they made a point of traveling to because of the quality”.

The artist, public and volunteer surveys are available on our web site. There are so many factors that come together to create a successful event. The coordinators, my assistant, our three interns, the staff, all of our 400 plus volunteers, the sponsors & donors, our city officials, the patrons and of course the 216+ artists. Thank you all.

Sara ShambargerDirector of Art Fairs
