Kashmere MultiService Center Civic Art Project

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under community arts projects | No Comments »

In partnership with Citizen Schools, an after-school apprenticeship program, and through a commission from the Houston Arts Alliance, artist Reginald Adams lead a team of 15 students in the design and production of 30 mosaic murals that will be incorporated into the neighborhood multi-service center which is just blocks away from where the students attend school.

The 10 week long apprenticeship program provides the students with hands-on experience working alongside a professional artist in the Museum of Cultural Arts Houston (MOCAH) downtown art studio. The program offers a positive and creative outlet for the youth to express themselves but equally as important is the benefit that is provided to the community through the beautification of the multi-service center, a well visited civic space located in the heart of the community.

The art apprenticeship program began in October 2008 and will be completed January 2009. The art project will be unveiled along with the Grand Opening of the renovated multi-service center in the spring of 2009.

The project is sponsored in part by Citizen Schools and Dal Tile with support from the Houston Arts Alliance through the city of Houston.
For more information contact Reginald Adams, at 713.224.2787 or via email at Reginald@mocah.org

Washtenaw Community College School of Culinary Arts

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under community arts program | 2 Comments »

Washtenaw Community College School of Culinary Arts Video.

Find your passion in food, friends and elegant surroundings. Develop skills for an entry-level position in restaurant, hospitality or institutional settings. Whether your interests lie in pastry and wedding cakes, food preparation and marketing, or management of food service, these are the programs for you.

TRANSCRIPTION:

Jill Beauchamp I believe that our program here at Washtenaw Community College in Culinary and Hospitality is the program of choice in southeastern Michigan. I know that’s pretty bold, but I just think that if a student wants to learn both theory and practice, we will allow for that. The students are another huge strength of our program.

Andrew Willis I’ve worked in restaurants on and off pretty much my whole life. I’ve worked in the back of the house, the front of the house, I’ve done other things in my career and just came back to what I love.

Cassondra Curtis I feel that I’m getting a lot out of this program. Not only some great friends and a great education, great experience, but just memories that I can have for the rest of my life.

Jill Beauchamp Garrett’s Restaurant is a full service laboratory classroom, where the students learn the art of giving good service while taking the course work along with it.

Cassondra Curtis You actually get to run a restaurant. I know a lot of colleges that have culinary classes, but when I tell them about ours, they’re like, “Wow, that would be so cool.” [Latin music playing]

Zachary Hintalla For the past two years, my most memorable experiences have both dealt with working at Mardi Gras. It’s a blast each year.

Carol Deinzer Mardi Gras is an annual fundraiser at the College for the general scholarship fund. It’s a huge opportunity for our students. Not only do they get real-life experience with serving hundred’s of people, they also get the opportunity to work with chefs from the outside, which just is invaluable.

Jill Beauchamp The most important factor, of course, is the instruction. I think we have top-notch instructors, both full time and part time.

Cassondra Curtis My instructors are actually very wonderful. They are really down-to-earth people, and it makes it so much easier to ask questions and be open and even to be a little silly at times.

Andrew Willis The instructors are just relentless. They’re so tough. I mean, I can’t… I’m just kidding.

Terri Herrera I feel I have to get in with the students instead of standing over lecturing. I have to do it, be involved with them. And I feel as though I get the most out of my students when I teach that way.

Paul McPherson I think what’s important about our program is some of the opportunities that it presents itself, not only a few of our specialty classes, but the individualized attention that our students get here — the counseling and the advice and just the dedication from faculty.

Terri Herrera I still feel as though I’m part of their lives because, hey, I talked to you, I trained you. I feel like they’re my children. It’s just a passion that I have for teaching.

Paul McPherson There’s always an excitement about being a chef or being a pastry chef and being involved in a very active industry.

Gena Parker I feel that I will be sought after I’m done with this program because I’ve learned so much. I have qualities, I have confidence in myself because of the program and what I’ve learned.

Zachary Hintalla The instruction here has definitely prepared me to move on to what I’d like to do later on in life: to run my own restaurant.

Jill Beauchamp When I see a student find a career that they’re passionate about, that is the greatest source of pride for me.

Ocean City NJ Paints a Street!

Posted by admin on January 27th, 2010 and filed under community art | 10 Comments »

Last winter I got an email from a friend of mine named Drew Fasy. Drew is a very nice guy and is quite involved in trying to improve the civic life of our town of Ocean City New Jersey.
He wrote to ask if I’d be interested in making a little film about a street painting project he was helping to plan. This project is a collaboration between a group called CAP, the Community Art Projects, the art department of Ocean City High School, and the Traffic Unit of the Ocean City Police Department. Tons of city residents turned out to volunteer for a day of fun and painting. I got to talk to a number of people, including Ocean City’s youthful police chief, the high school student whose design was selected, and the mayor of Ocean City.
