From the President
The Arts
Guild's first effort at a Members' Invitational Juried show was
a success with 26 entries on CD. The three jurors selected the following
five to exhibit their work in this special exhibition in August: Anne
Winthrop Cordin (oils), Priscilla Foley (watercolor and mixed media),
Marc Jaffe (photography), P. Jane Renwick (acrylics), and Lenny Rumpler
(photography). Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to all
the participants for entering. The Annual
March Members' All-Media Exhibition-96 works by 49 members-has
also shown signs of success with three sales as of this writing by Jonathan
Small, Monty Gomez, and Suzanne Lewis. The opening also featured the
Guild's first collaboration with the Portsmouth Community Theater
with their 20-minute dramatic presentation of O. Henry's "The Last
Leaf."
The People's
Choice First Prize Award for the Members' Exhibition goes to Jonathan
Small for his painting, "Row Boat Row." A 4-way tie for Second Prize
was shared by Alan Berry, JP Fernandes, Bonnie Jaffe, and Priscilla
Malone. See the notice elsewhere in this issue for details on their
winning works. Congratulations to all for their superb entries.
Intake for
"Imagine Red," juried by Helen Nadler, is April 5 and 6, which is
also the time for our Resident Artists (those who have rented panels
for this session) to hang their work. The opening reception is Friday,
April 9, 6-8pm.
Interest
in the arts appears to be live and well in Portsmouth. In a recent town-wide
survey commissioned by the Arts Guild regarding the feasibility of building
a new community center for the visual and performing arts, "Half of
respondents thought it a good idea to build an arts center, a third
disagreed, and the balance were not sure. Over half believe that
residents' cultural and educational needs are not being adequately
met by other organizations on Aquidneck Island and Portsmouth needs
a community arts center."
The study,
mailed to 7,305 Portsmouth households in January, had a 13% return with
a 3% margin of error. It was funded by the Rhode Island Foundation, BankNewport, The Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, and The Portsmouth
Arts Guild. The survey was conducted by Dreeszen & Assoc. of Florence,
Mass. Some of specific survey findings included these items:
·
83% attended cultural programs and institutions locally and elsewhere;
·
41% had created visual art or craft work in the past year;
·
75% were likely to attend programs at a community center for the arts;
· Over 75% agreed that
a community arts center would enhance the Town's quality of life;
·
58% agreed that an arts center would help attract residents and businesses;
*
57% agreed that a center for the arts would contribute to the Town's
economy.
When it came
to funding such an arts center, however, the responses were more divided.
Some 60% "believe the town cannot afford community-building initiatives
like an arts center when faced with other pressing needs. While a third
of respondents supported the idea of a bond-supported community center,
about half disagreed, and others were unsure." Many needed more information
before deciding; others thought the current economy was not favorable
for such a project. Nonetheless, interest in attending and participating
in the arts was strong, with particular interest in outdoor summer concerts,
theater, adult art classes, arts exhibitions and films. Lectures and
music also generated significant interest.
And speaking
of lectures, at our next members' meeting, April 20 at 7pm,
artist Susan Fossati, will speak about the development and focus of
her paintings over the past 30 years. Susan works in oil, pastel and
watercolors. During her talk and visual presentation, she will discuss
her process, techniques and motivations. Don't miss it.
See you at the gallery!

We had a strong field of 26 artists entering. The 3 jurors, Richard
Benjamin, Dora Atwater Millikin, and Julie Smith, did a tremendous job
of rating everyone as fairly as they could and they provided feedback
for every artist's entry. In spite of some technical difficulties, we
were able to see to it that every disc entered was reviewed by the
jurors. The exhibition will run from August 19 to September 19.
