admin — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 15:59:24 +0000

James Kalm returns to the East Village for this tribute exhibition to the golden age of Downtown Grunge. Between 1981 and 1987 the East Village was home to over eighty galleries, with its own night clubs, cabarets and Rock’n'Roll venues. With its extravagantly decadent life style, this frenzied drug fueled scene was also the nexus of a flowering of gay liberation. The onset of the AIDS epidemic, hit a broad swath of this community, and many succumbed. In short order the entire milieu collapsed. Featuring interviews with Robert Curcio and Rick Prol.

Buddy Art

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:29:15 +0000

http://www.thiscenturyartgallery.org/BuddyArt/Buddy_Art.htm

Buddy Art is a program designed to provide art activities for children with special needs and/or physical disabilities. The program is free and is sponsored by This Century Art Gallery in cooperation with the Sharpe Community Scholars Program at the College of William & Mary and James City County Parks & Recreation.

A variety of art activities are offered based on the ages, ability levels, and interests of the participating children. Each child is assigned a volunteer “Buddy” to work with them one-on-one, helping them to explore the materials, and replenishing their supplies as needed. Each station has a volunteer Activity Supervisor who is responsible for setting up and overseeing the activity and explaining to participants what the materials were and how to use them. Participants may stay in one area or explore multiple activities during the duration of the class period.

Each week has a theme such as “Self-Portraits” or “Fall Leaves”. There are generally five art stations including activities such as Finger-painting, Clay (air-drying clay), Collage (cutting or tearing & pasting colored/textured papers and other objects), Drawing (crayons; markers; pastels; colored pencils; drawing pencils), Stamping (with stamps relating to the theme), and Easel Painting (tempera). Special projects might include body-tracings for self-portraits or printmaking projects such as leaf-printing.

Parents are invited to participate with their child or to simply observe. Buddies are assigned to each child regardless of the parents participation so that the parent can share the activity without having to be responsible for managing the art materials and set-up.

The Buddy Art program will continues with Fall & Spring sessions of 4-6 classes scheduled during the William & Mary academic terms with students from the Wm & Mary Sharpe Program continuing to serve as “Buddies”.

Tapping into the power of families and neighborhoods to enliven the creative spirit and revitalize communities, the 100 Families Oakland: Art and Social Change project is undergoing a new phase of development.

From its inception in 2005 through June 2008, CCAs Center for Art and Public Life provided administrative responsibility and led implementation in collaboration with the leadership council and community partners in East Oakland, Chinatown, Fruitvale, and West Oakland. Also contributing to the projects success were founder F. Noel Perry and the Oakland Museum of California. In June 2008 the Alameda County Office of Education assumed administrative responsibility for implementation, and the leadership council began planning for a second phase of development.

The Center for Art and Public Life is currently working with the leadership council and the Alameda County Office of Education to ensure a successful transition. In 20089 the Centers involvement included
