| Some 150 guests celebrated this year's ACE award winners at our fourth Arts & Culture Empowerment Awards Breakfast, at Norwalk's Shore & Country Club, June 5. TV producer and writer, Chris Ambrose (at left), shared the lessons he has learned as an artist in keeping the creative juices flowing, despite all setbacks, such as major re-writes, or having to go right back to the drawing board. For more than 20 years, Chris has been a writer of network television dramas. He is currently working on a new show for NBC, and shares his lifelong passion for writing as a mentor in Los Angeles and New York, helping young writers hone their skills and encouraging them to believe that anything is possible. The 2019 ACE Award recipients are: Artist - Jane Dávila, printmaker, fiber and mixed media artist, textile designer, editor, author, and teacher, who also manages the NEST Arts Factory in Bridgeport. Citizen - Nick Visconti, a Westport-based philanthropist, serving on the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center Foundation board of directors.
Corporate - Cohen & Wolf, P.C., a regional law firm serving leadership roles in more than 100 organizations, associations, commissions, and boards in the area. Educator - Gina Scarpa, Director of Education at Center Stage, Shelton, and founder of the Center Stage Education Center, serving more than 115 students. Nonprofit - INTEMPO, whose founder and executive director Angelica Durrell, is an Ecuadorian-born violinist, educator and social entrepreneur. |
| | MAKE MUSIC DAY PREVIEW ON OUR JUNE SPOTLIGHT ON ARTS & CULTURE ON WPKN |
|  |
As every reader of this newsletter should know by now, June 21, the summer solstice, is Make Music Day - a day celebrated the world over with musicians, amateur and professional, pouring into the streets, parks, amphitheaters, stoops, porches and more to celebrate the power of music to communicate - and have fun. In our region alone, eight towns are celebrating Make Music Day. On our June edition of Spotlight on Arts & Culture, our monthly interview show on WPKN 89.5 FM, we interviewed 7 of the 8 organizers (it was to be 8 but Norwalk's Marc Alan had an emergency situation to deal with and was unable to participate). But we did have Suzanne Kachmar from Bridgeport, Lou Heumann from Fairfield; Tatiana Mori from Greenwich, Paige Miglio from Milford, Jennifer DiLaura from Ridgefield, Annette Einhorn from Stamford, and Colin Healey from Stratford talking about why they were doing this and what some of the highlights of their programs will be. Listen to the conversation (count how many pianos you hear about) and enjoy the music clips that each guest brought with them. Catch the conversation on Soundcloud at http://bit.ly/SpotlightMMD2. |

| | | KATHY FITZGERALD
Kathy Lea Fitzgerald is an art therapist who has recently discovered her own talents as a practicing artist. Graduating from New York University with a Master's in Art Therapy, she witnessed for the next 25 years, using the creative arts in the mental health field, many memorable transformations as patients discovered their own talents and passions through the healing process. A strong advocate for mental health and its awareness in the community, Kathy was herself diagnosed with bipolar disorder 23 years ago and just three years ago discovered the power of art to heal herself. By transferring often disruptive energy onto the canvas she was stunned to discover its power to bring equilibrium, self-awareness and emotional strength. Mostly self-taught, Kathy paints with acrylic on canvas in an abstract and eclectic style - reflecting her own emotional life. Kathy has shown her work at Rockwell Art & Framing in Wilton and the Rene Soto Gallery, Norwalk. She has also shown at Wilton's Local Soul boutique and in July her work can be seen at The Haute Healing Oasis Spa in Stamford. Kathy is a member of the Ridgefield Guild of Artists, the Stamford Art Association, and The Westport Arts Center. |

| | | KERRY HEFTMAN
Kerry Heftman was born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She attended Gettysburg College and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art. Kerry has also studied and exhibited photography at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Kerry lives in Weston, with her husband and three children (two boys and one girl). She writes that as far back as she can remember, creativity and storytelling has been a part of her life, whether painting, mixed media design, or taking pictures. She loves the process of creating and telling stories through her work and has found that through the process of making art, she has learned to embrace the chaos, mess, and noise and is able to focus on the perfectly, imperfect details of everyday life. Kerry is a member of the Artists Collective of Westport and has been in several PopUp shows there, as well as in the Annual Woman’s Club Art Show, Westport. She had work selected for the 2016 exhibition The Westport Artist Collective Explores the Revolutionary Sixties, curated by Nancy McTague-Stock at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum. She is looking forward to being a contributing artist to the Mix It Up Tour: Art, Music & Fashion Re-Imagined, a one night only FUNdraiser at the Westport Library in October 2019. See Kerry's website, her blog on Essential Oils, and her Facebook, and Instagram pages.

| KATHERINE ROSS
Katherine Ross has been teaching art to adults and children for 25 years, privately and publicly, including the Katonah Museum of Art and Westport Art Center, the Side By Side School in Norwalk and the Bridge Academy in Bridgeport. She specializes in portfolio development for college-bound high school students and also with hands-on large-scale projects at the public schools, many of which have become permanent works hanging in the halls of Long Lots Elementary, Bedford Middle, and Staples High School. Her Kids Wall at Longshore Pool, was conceived by Katherine to honor and celebrate the creative spirit of West-port’s children and, with the help of Miggs Burroughs, was designed and created by 1400 of Westport’s 5th-8th grade students, dedicated in 2000 and is currently the largest piece of public art in Westport’s history. She has also completed a mural depicting historical places of Westport, a Westport quilt square in the Town Hall and co-designed and facilitated a mural for the United Nations, featuring artwork by Staples High School students in response to 9/11, which has traveled internationally and will be permanently housed at the Smithsonian Institute. Katherine has shown extensively at most local arts institutions, including in several Art of the Northeast exhibitions at the Silvermine Arts Center (at one of which she won the Amity Art Foundation Award) and the Center for Contemporary Printmaking among many others. Katherine is a member of the Westport Arts Advisory Committee, The Westport Art Center, The Rowayton Art Center, and the Center for Contemporary Printmaking.

June 22, 1-3pm. Lisa's Found in Translation (mixed media, 23x18) is a collage using acrylics, ink transfer, mono-type printing and other mark making tools on archival printmaking paper. Her Transcending Boundaries (mixed media, 23x19, at right) is a mixed media painting using acrylics, pastel, pencil, mono-type printing and other mark making tools on archival printmaking paper. |
| | | Paul Berger has one of his original color photographs included in Nor'Easter: The 49th Annual Juried Exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art, opening with a reception Sun. June 23, 12:30-2pm. Paul is showing his Cathedral Under the Canvas (24x31, detail at right, click for complete image), which he says captures a surprisingly rich interplay between the late afternoon light and the various lines, shapes, and patterns that really came to life under this large canvas tent in Nantucket. |
| | | | Miggs Burroughs is having his Signs of Compassion exhibition installed at the Montefiore Medical Center, Hutchinson Metro Center, 1250 Waters Place, Tower One, Bronx, NY, from June 26 through October, 2019.

The show opens with a reception Wed. June 26, 12:30-2pm. Click on image for larger picture. |
| | Congratulations to Heidi Lewis Coleman for winning Second Prize at the Stamford Art Association's 20th Annual Vivian and Stanley Reed Marine Show: Water (June 14-July 11), with an artists' reception Fri June 21, 6-8pm. Heidi won the award for her Passing Through (acrylic on canvas, 48x36). Heidi will be showing several of her acrylic and cut paper pieces, including Rivendell (24x24, at right), in GR Art Gallery's upcoming Summer Show 2019, opening with a reception on Sat. June 22, 5:30 - 8pm.
|
| | Carol Nipomnich Dixon received an Honorable Mention for her embroidery on felt, Ocean Waves at Sunset (2019, 13x13, at right) juried into the Stamford Art Association's 20th Annual Vivian and Stanley Reed Marine Show: Water (June 14-July 11), with an artists' reception Fri June 21, 6-8pm. She also had Sea of Cortez (oil and spray painting on canvas, 36x36) accepted. Carol also had two works juried into the exhibit Inside Small Art at the Greenwich Botanical Center: Autumn Leaves and Grasses, Greenwich Point, (2017, embroidery and Caran d'Ache on felt) and Fallen Petals (2017, mixed media embroidered collage, 10x10, framed). |
| | Carol Nipomnich Dixon also has a solo exhibition, “All That Jazz”, at the Byram Shubert Library, 21 Mead Avenue, Greenwich, from June 10 through August 17, 2019. A reception sponsored by the Friends of the Byram Shubert Library will be held Sat. July 27, 3-5pm. Among the thirteen oil paintings and six embroidered collages is her painting All That Jazz (oil on canvas, 36x36, at right). "Rhythm, movement, and color reverberate through oil paintings of Carol Nipomnich Dixon. One can almost hear the strains of Count Basie, Chuck Berry, or Miles Davis when viewing such works as her “Stepping Out,” “Swing Tim,” or “The Blues.” Along with these paintings are smaller-scaled vibrant embroidered collages whose stitches dance across the surface as the paint dances along her canvases." |
| | Kathy Fitzgerald had four works juried into the Stamford Art Association's 20th Annual Vivian and Stanley Reed Marine Show: Water (June 14-July 11), with an artists' reception, Fri June 21, 6-8pm. At right, her Breakthrough (2019, acrylic on canvas, 60x48; click for larger image). Kathy comments that after completing this painting, her eyes were drawn to the grid-like images. Initially seeing the base colors trapped behind the grid-like bars, she then saw glorious images which appeared to be breaking through. In addition, she believes this piece represents her own “Breakthrough.” After working 25 years in the mental health field as a counselor, she had difficulty identifying herself as an artist and this challenging piece allowed her to truly do that. Her other works in the show are: The Wave, White Caps and Bird's Eye View. |
| | | Emily Hamilton Laux has one of her photographs included in Nor'Easter: The 49th Annual Juried Exhibition at the New Britain Museum of American Art, opening with a reception Sun. June 23, 12:30-2pm. Her Beauty Versus Beauty: Dahlia and Red Clover (2017; detail at right) is part of her Beauty Versus Beauty series that addresses the complex relationship of native and invasive ecosyst-ems, biodiversity, and individual notions of beauty in nature. Presented as still lifes, and using bell jars and water to isolate species, this series considers the co-mingled relationships of plants that grow in our backyards, along the edges of fields and parking lots, as well flora that are cultivated for their beauty. Compared to other threats to biodiversity, invasive species rank second only to habitat destruction, such as forest clearing. Introduced invasive species are a greater threat to native biodiversity than pollution, harvest, and disease combined. Like the kudzu that weaves its way across the landscape of the Deep South, invasive species are often considered beautiful and not acknowledged until they are out of control. |
| | Jim Malloy is participating in the Carriage Barn’s Art In The Windows show in New Canaan until June 14 with City Still Life and Fire In Ice on display at Stewart’s Spirits on Elm Street. Jim's Wooden Ships #2 (acrylic on paper, 22x18, detail at right) was juried into the Stamford Art Association's 20th Annual Vivian and Stanley Reed Marine Show: Water (June 14-July 11), with an artists' reception, Fri June 21, 6-8pm. His painting is from his Wooden Ships Series meant "to evoke a bygone era when the high seas were navigated by wooden ships and iron men." His Enigma Ridge is on display in the Far Away Places show in Stamford's Ferguson Library, and he has several pieces showing at Gaudi Tapas & Wine in Danbury.

Congratulations to Sooo-z Mastropiece for being first "Artist is in" at the re-opened Westport Library, June 23. Sooo-z will not only be exhibiting her MicroFiberOrganism installation, which she has been developing for over a year, but she will be in residence and working in her Library “studio” for nearly three weeks and invites you to come say hello (in Room 213) and take a look. Sooo-z says: "These orphans of a textile splurge came to me in need of purpose so I not only reincarnated them once, I gave them a second life. To discard a useful tube is tragic and in turn it is representative of our impulsive-ness. We are rampant consumers on a constant quest for stuff and things, often disregarding the consequences of over buying, over using, throwing away, and doing it all again. The goal of this installation is to demonstrate the parallel between the dynamic propagation of nature and the vigorous materialism of humans and question the continuance of this path. A story of symbiotic relationships." |
| | | | Julie O'Connor has had two of her photographs, Looking Into Bruegel, Vienna (2019, 20x16, detail at right) and Secrets of the Doge's Palace, selected by Ann H. Sievers for the Connecticut Women Artists' 90th Annual National Open Juried Exhibition at the Slater Memorial Museum, in Norwich, CT, June 15-Sept. 13, with an opening reception on Sat. June 22, 1-3pm. |
| | | | Alissa Siegal's painting Sparrow, (charcoal, acrylic, and oil paint on linen, 20x20, at right) part of her ongoing series of paintings of Birds, is in the New York Academy of Art's Summer Exhibition 2019 (111 Franklin Street, NYC), running June 18 through July 21, with an opening reception Tues. June 18, 6-8pm. Alissa is particularly attracted to painting these creatures which, "are amazingly engineered, complex and social creatures with cultural and mythic significance. But their habitats are threatened by development and pollution, endangering them even as they fly above us. The images reflect our current times." |

| | | | | | ROWAYTON ARTS CENTER COMMUNITY SPONSORED AWARDS: AT THE TABLE RECEIVING: JUNE 17/18
The Rowayton Arts Center has a call for its Exhibiting Members only for work that addresses the ritual of the meal for a show: At The Table. The gathering of many or few (or even just one!) to consume food can be for many reasons: there are meals for romance or reconnection, of excess or paucity, out of habit and necessity. Food is a key ingredient when we celebrate, mourn, or simply meet. The setting could be elegant or simple—a healthy farm-to-table spread or takeout on the run. These days, in our fast-paced, tech-driven lives, perhaps the role of the meal as respite and the human connection it may provide is more important than ever. We feed others and are fed. Food not only nourishes our bodies, but can nourish our souls. One work per artist ($20 fee). Juror: Westport artist Heidi Palmer. Exhibiting Members Only. For information on how to become an RAC Exhibiting Member, click here. Receiving Dates: Monday, June 17 (4pm-7pm) and Tuesday, June 18 (11am-2pm). |

| | | | ROWAYTON ARTS CENTER FOOD FOR THOUGHT WRITING CONTEST JULY 1
The Rowayton Arts Center announces Food for Thought, a writing contest to complement its upcoming At The Table exhibition. Winners will be awarded prizes, and their work will be shared during the exhibition. The meals we consume – alone or with others, at home or far afield – do much more than just satisfy our appetites. They also provide a portal to some of our most deeply-felt personal experiences: memory, family, sense of place, culture. Like Proust's madeleine, the flavors, aromas, and preparations of certain foods have a unique power to bring these associations to immediate and vivid life. Is there a particular dish or ingredient, cooking tradition or dining ritual, that unlocks these doors for you? The RAC would love to read about it. To that end, it is running this food-themed writing contest as part of a celebration of all things culinary. Winners will be awarded prizes, and their work will be shared during the show. This writing contest is open to all ages. The judge, Sarah Gold, is an award-winning food and culture journalist, and former Connecticut dining critic for The New York Times. Submission requirements: stories, essays, and poems of up to 1,000 words must be received by July 1 for consideration. Email here, or drop off at the gallery at 145 Rowayton Ave, Norwalk, CT 06853. |

| CREATIVE CAPITAL CREATING A MARKETING STRATEGY WITH DREAD SCOTT JUNE 20
Creative Capital presents another in its series of live webinars. Led by artist Dread Scott, Creating a Marketing Strategy, a 90-minute online workshop, covers all aspects of marketing your work, including defining your goals; developing effective tools, tactics, and messaging; and identifying, engaging, and building your audience and support community. The workshop also provides an overview of several effective case studies of artists who have used both traditional and non-traditional marketing strategies in support of their work. Dread Scott makes revolutionary art to propel history forward. He first received national attention in 1989 when his art became the center of controversy over its use of the American flag while he was a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. President G.H.W. Bush called his art “disgraceful” and the entire US Senate denounced this work and outlawed it when they passed legislation to “protect the flag.” He is a recipient of a Creative Capital Foundation grant, a Pollock Krasner Foundation grant, Fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and was a resident at Art Omi International Artists Residency. He works in a range of media including performance, photography, installation, screen-printing and video. This online workshop series will be recorded. Recordings will be shared with all previously registered participants after each workshop concludes, regardless of whether participants attend the live workshop or not. $25. Register here. |
