Construction is about to begin on the Crestridge property, and we had to move. Beginning next month we will be officially at the Promenade on the Peninsula shopping mall in a marvelous space, renovated for the Art Center’s needs, and formerly occupied by Border’s Books. In anticipation of our redevelopment program is the hope that we could continue full operations during construction. We had been looking for a temporary location for some time, but finding the right space and a lot of it and at a reasonable price was not easy. I am very excited and greatly relieved, that we found a splendid temporary home that will allow us to continue all our classes, exhibitions and special educational programs along with space for the extensive community activities the Art Center hosts each year. I am particularly thankful to Stolz Management, which operates the mall, and to Elizabeth Griggs, mall manager, for their generous willingness to work with us to make our relocation affordable and practical. Exposure at the mall will be wonderful for the Art Center, and, in return, our busy schedule should bring lots of people to the mall. This is a wonderful example of a positive joint venture between an important business in our community and a well-established non profit cultural facility. We anticipate very little interruption of our ongoing programs. I invite everyone to come see our new space on or about July 1, when we will officially be open. For the past weeks we were busily engaged in building the space out for our needs, creating classrooms, public areas and offices. It will certainly be different but the generous space at the Promenade will allow us to continue for the construction year all the wonderful programs you have come to expect. At the same time, this location will provide opportunity to reach new audiences and to think about new programs, even new kinds of programs, in anticipation of and following the move back a year from now to our spectacularly redeveloped Crestridge home. Here I must thank the staff for all their efforts and patience in getting us to the Promenade. You can’t believe how much stuff had to be moved, but it got done with hardly a ripple. This issue of Artifacts comes as we hold our 80th anniversary Annual Meeting, this year in the community room at the Promenade. As you will see on page 3 in this issue, there was a major announcement made at this meeting, one that has sigcontinued on page 12 President’s Column Let’s Give a Cheer! -By Loren DeRoy For 80 years, the Palos Verdes Art Center has provided a place for art in our community. It has not only provided art classes and exhibitions, it also a place for creativity to flourish and to inspire collaboration, community interaction and involvement. In fact, all that the PVAC does serves to bring our community together, to learn from each other and to enrich our lives. As we commemorate our 80th year in operation, the PVAC has planned events and activities designed to engage with friends we have served in the past and to reach new constituents, inviting the entire community to join in the celebration. The PVAC is proud of its rich history and array of educational opportunities it has provided its students of all age groups—from 3 years old to 90 and more. In this anniversary year, the PVAC celebrates its diversity and all the people that we serve. One way we plan to celebrate is by spotlighting some of those whose lives have been touched by the PVAC. Over the next year we will feature the stories of 12 individuals who have been inspired by the PVAC. They range in ages and walks of life and represent the broad diversity of those we serve and the impact the PVAC has made in their lives. Many of these individuals received encouragement from the PVAC through the Alpay scholarship program and have gone on to be successful, practicing artists. Others have found new meaning and inspiration in their lives through their connection with the Art Center over the years. Their stories are a testament to the significant contribution that the PVAC has made and will continue to make in our community. This summer brings other PVAC events that you will want to mark on your calendar. You won’t want to miss “Surf’s Up,” our first art exhibition scheduled to open on July 22 in our new temporary home. In addition, the Associates have designed another magical evening of dining: Celebrate Chef’s and Cellars on July 31 is sure to be another memorable evening of creative dining, entertainment and conversation. Tickets are going fast. At our Annual Meeting, we announced the PVAC’s 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign with a $5 million goal to fund our major facility redevelopment. We are proud to report that every member of the PVAC Board of Trustees has committed to support this campaign and I thank all trustees for their generosity. At this meeting we were also extremely pleased to announce a $2 million lead gift to the campaign from Dr. O. Allen Alpay in memory of his wife, Beverly G. Alpay. I extend my heartfelt and humble appreciation to Dr. Alpay for his generosity and philanthropic vision. We are honored that Dr. Alpay chose the PVAC to pay tribute to the tremendous contributions that his late wife, Beverly, made to the Palos Verdes Art Center and to our community. Dr. Alpay’s gift will create the Beverly G. Alpay Center for Arts Education The Palos Verdes Art Center announced its 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign with a $2 million lead gift from Dr. O. Allen Alpay in memory of his wife, Beverly G. Alpay. “We are ecstatic to receive this extraordinary gift from Dr. Alpay. His incredible generosity will support the Art Center’s most ambitious undertaking—a major facility redevelopment that will create a ‘new’ Palos Verdes Art Center. It is a fitting tribute to Beverly, who provided exceptional leadership and volunteer service,” stated CEO and Executive Director Robert A. Yassin. Dr. Alpay’s gift will create the Beverly G. Alpay Center for Arts Education. This will encompass the Art Center’s extensive educational programming that includes more than 300 studio art classes offered at the Art Center each year. “Beverly had a great passion for the Palos Verdes Art Center and I know she would approve of this gift. The Art Center is such an invaluable resource for our community. Every year, it brings innovative art education into local classrooms, offers a wide range of art classes, and features interesting artists in its exhibitions. Furthermore, I am very impressed by the Art Center’s strong financial management and efficient operations. The Palos Verdes Art Center has earned our community’s gratitude and deserves our support,” said Dr. Alpay. “This leadership gift is a terrific beginning for our $5 million fundraising campaign, the largest in the Art Center’s history. The 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign will fund a major facility redevelopment that will maximize the Art Center’s ability to meet ever-increasing demands for its classes, programs, and services. The campaign will raise endowment funds, as well, which will further support the Art Center’s future sustainability,” remarked 80th Anniversary Campaign Chairman and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Allen Lay. Beverly Alpay volunteered at the Art Center for over eight years, serving in various capacities, including President and Chairman of the Board, Chairman of The Associates, and Executive Director. In 1996, she received the Medici Award, the Art Center’s highest honor, which was created to recognize her superlative service to the organization and the community. “More than 30,000 children and adults benefit from the Palos Verdes Art Center’s programs every year. Contributions to the 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign will enable us to continue to offer and to expand our high quality programs, classes, and exhibitions. We still have a long way to go to reach our $5 million campaign goal, but we believe others in the community will be inspired by Dr. Alpay’s exceptional contribution, and will respond with generous gifts,” Yassin said. The 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign will fund a major facility redevelopment that will maximize the Art Center’s ability to meet ever-increasing demands for its classes, programs, and services. artifacts $2 Million Gift in Memory of Beverly Alpay Launches Art Center’s 80th Anniversary Legacy Campaign 2 3 CAPITAL CAMPAIGN exhibiti Surf’s Up! Surf’s Up!, an exhibition focusing on the art inspired by surfing will open on Friday, July 22 at the Palos Verdes Art Center’s new, temporary location, The Promenade on the Peninsula, 550 Deep Valley Drive, Suite 261, Rolling Hills Estates (in the former Borders Bookstore location). The Surf’s Up! Exhibition is dedicated to a dear friend and colleague, Bruce Milbury. Bruce, a long time surfer and employee of the Palos Verdes Art Center, passed away in late 2010. The common thread that runs through this exhibit is that most of the artists are inspired by their respect for the sheer power and energy of a wave. These artists are practicing two physically demanding disciplines—one being expressed in the studio and the other being expressed out in the elements. Surf’s Up! will not include archetypal commercial surfer scenes depicted in slick sports posters, in fact, many of the artists in this —Sternbach —Moses —Evans —Severson Galleries are open Mondays through Saturdays 10am–4pm and on Sundays 1–4pm. Opening reception: Friday, July 22, 2011, 5–8pm, Art Center at The Promenade on the Peninsula, hosted by The Exhibition Committee and the Palos Verdes Art Center. artifacts 4 5 ons J U LY 2 2 through S E P T E M B E R 2 5 exhibit are lifelong surfers who surf every day and experience the solitude, skill and risk of surfing, as well as the silence, skill and risk they face in their studios. Whether waiting patiently in the studio or on the water, putting fear aside, each individual must make heart thumping decisions. The results can be awe inspiring. The exhibition will include a mixture of fine art, painting, sculpture and photography, plus special, unique works of art. PVACs Exhibition Director Scott Canty states, “When Jacqueline Dreager, our guest curator, and I began to think about this exhibition we wanted to explore a different angle and approach this as not just another surf show in L.A.” Canty and Dreager have set out to invite artists to paint a surfboard in their style of art. —Weinstein Surf’s Up! will include works by Los Angeles artists: Sandow Birk Russell Crotty Doug Edge Ned Evans Anthony Friedkin Steve Johns Robin Lucca Andy Moses Ana Osgood R.

She was a longtime patron of the arts and served as president of the Art Center’s Board of Directors and its executive director. Dr. Alpay continues to match all donations to this educational endowment fund.

Now in its 36th year, Art At Your Fingertips docents teach elementary school students through five creative projects. Projects are aligned with California Visual and Performing Arts Standards, incorporating artistic perception, creative expression and historical, cultural context and aesthetic valuing. Mexican Tinwork Tiles Building on a 400-year tradition of tin working, students will create brilliantly colored metal tiles in the style of traditional Mexican folk art. Students will learn metal tooling techniques as they explore the rich art and culture of Mexico. Project Created by Heather Hovard Larger Than Life Georgia O’Keeffe (American, 1887–1986) and her largerthan-life-sized paintings of flowers are the inspiration for this printmaking project. By transferring a contour line drawing onto a Styrofoam™ plate, students will make a monoprint of a flower using tempera paint on black paper. Project Created by Lee-Jean Lin Dappled Sunlight This acrylic landscape painting project employs the pointillism technique made famous by PostImpressionist painter George Seurat (French, 1859–1891). Using an application of colored dots, students will create the effect of sunlight diffused through tree branches. Project Created by Rebecca Jarus Imagining Magritte Surrealist Rene Magritte (Belgian, 1898–1967) and his painting The Listening Room are the inspiration for this mixed-media project. Students’ preconceived notions of perception and reality will be challenged while they learn an important lesson in one-point perspective. Project Created by Paula Irish Peninsula en Plein Air Since the late 19th century, California has been a mecca for artists inspired by the French Impressionists to paint out of doors or en plein air. Students will be introduced to this ongoing tradition while they create an acrylic painting of the Palos Verdes Peninsula’s picturesque coastline. Project Created by Annemarie Wargin Art At Your Fingertips brings standards-based art education to more than 7,000 Peninsula elementary students every year! n Alive The Palos Verdes Art Center & Community School of Art Summer Session July 11–August 27 This summer the Art Center will once again offer something for everyone!
