Appleton Museum dives into diverse exhibits Influenced by literature and Expressionist works, British born artist John Kingerlee painted in layers of oils and acrylics – often worked on over many years – in developing colorful and textural abstracts. In contrast, Silver Spring’s Bruce Mozert dove below the surface of what was arguably Florida’s premier tourist attraction to create a kitschy kind of black-and-white pop art through the lens of his pioneering underwater cameras. Both offer unique perspectives on the cultural and artistic landscape in exhibitions opening January 26 at the Appleton Museum.

John Kingerlee: Recent Works, which runs through March 30, features more than 100 figurative works, landscapes and grids. The exhibit, now on a 12-city national tour, was organized by Katherine T.

Surrounded By Family and Friends and The Last Year Through Feb. 3Vermont artist Deidre Scherer’s remark-able exhibits feature fine art fabric and thread works that focus on end-of-life experiences. Scherer uses fabric as paint and “draws” with scissors, layering shapes to give her two-dimensional images a sculptural quality with startling realism. Her work often evokes an array of reac-tion to this most powerful of life’s events, promoting an open dialogue about dying as a natural part of life within the context of community and relationship.

As part of the exhibit, visitors will have interactive opportunities to reflect on what they’ve experienced through journ-aling and creative hands-on projects.

Other programs:Holding Our Own: Embracing the End of Life, documentary and discussion with film’s director, Camilla Rockwell on Jan. 6 at 12:30 p.m.

Do Not Go Gently, film and discussion, “The Power of Imagination in Aging” led by the film’s director, Melissa Godoy, on Jan. 19 and Jan. 20 at 1:30 p.m.

Sunset Story, documentary followed by a lecture by Rosamarie Lamm, Ph.D., director of University of South Florida/Lakeland Rath Senior conNEXTions and Education Center, Jan. 27 beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Morrie Schwarz: Lessons on Living, ABC news presentation followed by lecture by Scherer and artist’s closing reception, Feb. 3 starting at 1:30 p.m.

The Appleton Museum of Art concludes its 20th anniversary year of bringing arts and cultural programming to Central Florida with the closing of our beautiful exhibition Diana, Princess of Wales: Dresses for a Cause. I want to take this opportunity to recognize the spectacular job the museum staff has done during the past five months in the planning and execution of this special exhibition. The collections, education and facilities departments joined in a real team effort to install and open the exhibition. Security, visitor services, admin-istrative and museum shop staff continue to provide the support this wonderful mu-seum offers for a special cause. I extend my thanks to all of you who have visited and become members of the Appleton.

We start the New Year with a painting exhibition of the works of John Kingerlee, a resident of Ireland. His Expressionist painting has been praised in the United Kingdom and in New York City because of the unique combination of abstract and representational images. Kingerlee varies his pallet with a full range of light and dark values while creating a deep texture of his experiences.

In January, we also celebrate the beauty and timeless photographs of Bruce Mozert’s documentation of Silver Springs attrac-tion. His underwater photography was groundbreaking decades ago and continues to inspire visually while informing of the important history of this region.

Lastly, we hope you will consider support of the Appleton Museum of Art in your gift giving this season.

I wish you the happiest of holidays and a healthy and prosperous new year.

Robin Muse McClea, Director

A newsletter highlighting exhibits and events

In tune with the CFSOThe Central Florida Symphony Orchestra is saluting culture and arts in our community by honoring the Appleton Museum of Art along with Ocala Breeders – an industry near and dear to our founder, Arthur I. Appleton – on March 1 at 8 p.m. and March 2 at 3 p.m. at the Ocala Breeders Sales Auditorium.

Winners of the prestigious 17th annual Young Artists Competition will perform as guest soloists during the concerts which, in recognition of the Appleton Museum, will feature Mussorgsky/Ravel’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” and, in appreciation of the equine industry, Aaron Copland’s “Suite from Red Pony.”

In addition, the museum is collaborating with the sym-phony orchestra to bring you a very special event next fall. Look for more information in upcoming newsletters and on our Web sites www.appletonmuseum.org and www.cfsymphony.com.

In MemoriamIt is with deep sadness that we report the tragic loss of three family members of our Appleton Museum staff. Judith Days and two of her grandchildren, Jessica and William Harper, passed away Nov. 24 as a result of a single-vehicle accident while driving home from a Thanksgiving trip to Massachusetts. Mrs. Days was the wife of longtime Facilities Coordinator Russell Days and mother of the Appleton’s Chief Prepara-tor Paul Arthur and Membership Manager Colleen Harper. William and Jessica were Colleen’s only children.

A Days and Harper Family Memorial Fund has been set up and contributions may be made at any Bank of America branch.

Princess Diana exhibit takes royal bowDiana, Princess of Wales: Dresses for a Cause ended its stellar run on Dec. 30, after being viewed by more than 15,000 anglophiles, royalty-watchers, fashionistas and/or supporters of breast cancer awareness and prevention.

The blockbuster exhibition was organized by Suzanne King, owner of one of the largest private collections of Princess Diana gowns in the world and founder of the national Pink Ribbons Crusade, the Austin, Texas-based nonprofit that col-laborated with the Appleton to bring “Dresses for a Cause” to Central Florida.

To accommodate members, and because entrance to the exhibit was by timed entry, the Appleton held three separate members previews and receptions. All told, about 600 members attended the Members Openings.

During the 11-week exhibition, “Dresses for a Cause” attracted visitors to the mu-seum and area from around the country and world. The exhibit featured designer gowns and dresses worn by Princess Diana as well as personal mementos. Proceeds from exhibit-related events benefit area breast cancer initiatives.

Art at the Appleton can be seen in a whole new light thanks to a state-of-the-art lighting system installed throughout the museum’s galleries and most public areas. The patented Efficient Fiber Optics (EFO) sys-tem was developed by the New Hampshire-based Energy Focus Inc., a leader in energy efficient lighting technologies.

The fiber optics system produces a warm, bright, white light with no infrared or ultraviolet which is ideal for illuminating fragile works of art that can be severely damaged by prolonged exposure to the radiation produced by halogen or fluorescent lights. The Appleton is the first and only museum in the world with the full “next level” lighting system.

“The Appleton Museum of Art is home to a broad, eclectic collection of ancient and modern art from around the globe,” said John Davenport,

CEO of Energy Focus. “Protecting this unique collection from the damage UV and IR can cause was of prime importance to the muse-um.” Davenport said the museum will save up to 80 percent in energy and maintenance costs.

Energy Focus, in partnership with Siemens and Southern Energy Technologies, installed 170 EFO illuminators throughout the building, with each illuminator powering up to eight endpoints, for a total of nearly 960 points of light.

A December 2006 report by Southern Energy Technologies Inc. for the museum showed that that Appleton can expect to save more than $12,000 per year in lighting energy and maintenance costs plus associ-ated HVAC interactive savings.

Dr. Charles Dassance, president of Central Florida Community College, welcomed museum members on Oct. 12 to one of three exclusive openings for the blockbuster exhibition, Diana, Princess of Wales: Dresses for a Cause. Proceeds from

special events related to the exhibit benefit breast cancer initiatives in Central Florida. Photo courtesy Jessie White.

T rips and tours

Education programs shift gearsOur early winter programming shifts from the charitable legacy of the late Princess Diana to that surrounding Deidre Scherer’s textile work in The Last Year and Surrounded By Family and Friends, both of which deal with difficult end-of-life issues. The exhibits will remain on display through Feb. 3.

The goal in programming these exhibits is that they will serve as a catalyst for open com-munication about issues that are difficult but necessary to discuss. With that in mind, we’re offering films and documentaries that celebrate lives well lived, and programs that focus on remaining as healthy and alert as possible for as long as possible. We are pleased to have brought together local, regional and national speakers to share ideas with the audience subjects such as Alzheimer’s disease, palliative care, caregivers, creativity and aging, and the process of dying well.

Because each of us has dealt with the inevitable, sometimes with grace and sometimes not-so- gracefully, we also provide interactive activities to help visitors connect with what they have personally experienced. Visitors may chronicle their experiences in a variety of creative ways which they may take with them, send to another person or leave as inspiration to others.

On another note, world-renowned flutist Don-na Wissinger has been performing a variety of programs for elementary and middle schools, hospices and other groups throughout Marion and Levy counties . The program, funded by a Florida State Touring Grant, began in Novem-ber and continues through the end of Febru-ary. In addition, Ms. Wissinger will also be one of two keynote speakers for the Appleton’s Creative Educators’ Day on Feb. 9.

Though she continues to perform as a solo con-cert flutist with symphonies all over the world, Ms. Wissinger’s passion is education. As an art educator, she has created workshops that merge visual and performing arts to help children de-velop positive, can-do attitudes and work ethics. We thank our CFCC family, especially Rayanne Giddis, director of the Levy Campus, for help-ing make this program possible.

As always, as a way of thanking our active military personnel for their sacrifices, scholar-ships are available to them and their immediate families for any of the Education Department offerings.

Ancient Greece: Next great adventureJoin your Trips n Tours team May 7-18 as we get set for our next glorious adventure explor-ing ancient and modern Greece. Our tour of Greece and Turkey will be fully escorted by John Lulius of Tarpon Springs.

We’ll begin our journey in Athens where we will stay for two nights and enjoy a welcome dinner in the Plaka. During our stay, we will tour the Parthenon’s crowning beauty atop the Acropolis, the Porch of Maidens, and the Temple of Zeus and the Theatre of Dionysus as well as the site of the first modern Olympics built in 1896. We will also take a walking tour of the city, visit several museums and even take time for some shopping.

From Athens, we will begin a two-day classical tour, stopping off at the Nauplion on the Eastern coast of the Peleponnese via the Corinth Canal and visiting the ancient theater of Epidaurus with its perfect acoustics. Then it’s on to ancient Delphi where we will visit the Oracle of Delphi, dedicated to the God Apollo and once considered the center of the world.

During our trip, we’ll enjoy a four-day cruise of the islands, take a walking tour of the Old City in Rhodes, and spend two nights in Santorini, the magical isle fabled to be the lost continent of Atlantis.

This 12-day, 10-night trip is $3,699 for museum members and $3,799 for nonmembers (the single supplement is $1,099). The price includes 21 meals, all arrival and departure trans-fers, entrance fees, porterage, roundtrip air on USAIR via Philadelphia, and roundtrip motor coach from the Appleton to Orlando International Airport.

Upcoming tripsYour Trips n Tours team has planned some exciting daytrips and another excursion to Atlanta to whet your travel whistle this winter and early spring.

After Hours season continues with jazz

A newsletter highlighting exhibits and events

After a brief break for the holidays, After Hours resumes Thursday, Feb. 7 with the return of Lenore Raphael, one of the world’s top jazz pianists whose wonderfully inventive post-bop style has a delight-ful, playful touch that will indeed keep you swinging. Known as the “Swingin’ Fox,” the New York City musician performed what amounted to a Master Class in jazz last spring at the Appleton – and based on the accolades from those who attended, we knew we had to bring her back.

On March 6, we welcome back to our courtyard stage the very pop-ular Christian Tamburr Quartet, Acoustic Jazz! Tamburr is equally at home playing piano and trapset as well as orchestral percussion, though his instrument of choice is the vibraphone. He has played with Dave Brubeck, opened for Harry Connick Jr., and recently re-turned from an international tour with Julio Iglesias. This promises to be a family friendly performance you won’t want to miss!

Making her Appleton debut on April 3, and fresh from her Euro-pean tour, is the incomparable jazz vocalist Marlene VerPlank. Mil-lions first heard Marlene’s crystal clear voice, albeit anonymously, on radio and television when she sang such jingles as Campbell

Soup’s “Mmm Mmm Good.” Later, she became one of the busiest studio vocalists in the business, singing back up for Frank Sinatra and Mel Torme. “In the Digital Mood,” featuring VerPlank, Torme and Julius LaRosa with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, was the first big-band CD to go gold.

After Hours are held the first Thursday of the month, September through December and January through May, with Black Music Month in June. Admission is $5 for members, $10 for nonmembers, and drink and food tickets are also available at additional charge (cash only). Doors open and food service begins at 5 p.m. with mu-sical performances starting at 6 p.m.

In case of rain, all performances planned for the courtyard will be held in the auditorium. Overflow parking and shuttle, when need-ed, is available at Scudder’s Gallery Square, 4645 E. Silver Springs Blvd., across the boulevard from the main entrance to Lowe’s. For information, call Laura Byrnes at 352-291-5544, ext. 1835, or e-mail [email protected].

Christian Tamburr performs in March at the Appleton with his quartet, Accoustic Jazz!
