Open TuesR day through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. August 2 to 27: OLIVE CRAIG GALLERY: Tony Strublic, Freighter Drawings MINI GALLERY: Joann Condino—Indigo An Invitational Exhibition Meet-the-Artist Reception for Joann Condino Saturday, August 6, from 1 to 4 p.m. Tony Strublic grew up in northern Wisconsin. He has been a bowler almost all his life and had always wanted to get into the bowling industry, so he enrolled in Vincennes University and, in 2000, obtained a degree in bowling center management. “Cliff‟s Victory”, a pencil drawing by Tony Strublic. Today he is part owner of Center Bowl in Pestigo, Wisconsin and also owns and manages a Bowling Pro Shop in Marinette. Tony’s parents’ made and sold decorative wood crafts and Tony began painting when young. An early subject was the Titanic and her sister ships but his focus shifted when he moved to Marinette and became more interested in the lake freighters. About that time he decided that drawing was his medium. His first drawing of a lake vessel was an old crane ship, the William H. Donner. His drawings to date have been of classic lake freighters with cabins fore and aft—ore boats, grain carriers and cement carriers— although he plans to expand and include the newer boats in the future. In this exhibition he is displaying original, detailed, black and white pencil drawings of Great Lakes freighters. The drawings are on illustration board, and he has both framed and unframed drawings, as well as some prints, available. The drawings depict such popular favorites as the Edmund Fitzgerald ( bottom left), the Arthur M. Anderson, the Edward L. Ryerson (page 1, bottom left), the Roger Blough and the Cliffs Victory (above). Tony Strublic exhibited in “Art on the Rocks” in 2010. He is available for commissioned work at (715-923-2695 or e-mail: [email protected].) A website: www.greatlakeartwork.webs.com is currently under construction. Indigo Joann Condino’s interest in indigo dyeing was sparked about twenty-five years ago when she happened to read an article about the craft in an old book on English fiber artists. She found the indigo dyeing process, which begins with the fermentation of the plant and drying of the resultant product and ends with its reactivation in the dye vat, mesmerizing. “Edmund Fitzgerald”, a pencil drawing by Tony Strublic. And now, a little background information: A couple of month ago we recorded the comments of the rug hookers, who never knew just where the combinations of colors and yarns might lead them. They were intrigued by the fact that the process acquired a life and a direction of its own—a process they could guide, but not fully control. Indigo dying has many of the same elements of mystery because when the dyed products come out of the vat, they are Page 6 Alberta House News both materials in a series of landscapes. Pattern, texture, and color are the tools of the fiber artist. By using the techniques of monotype, printing, shibori, hand painting, and fiber dyeing, I am refining my personal vocabulary of mark making to investigate unique methods to explore the visual link between art and communication. “Shibori” is a Japanese term for a form of tie dying—folding, binding and twisting the fabric before dying, so that it dyes unevenly, forming patterns. One of Joann’s “Summer Lake” green. They turn blue when exposed to the air. The longer the fabric is in the vat, the deeper the blue. Indigo comes from the plant Indigofera tinctoria—a legume, similar to alfalfa, though usually larger—and from related species. The color is between blue and violet on the color spectrum. Indigo was probably first used for dyeing in India. The dye is also present in the woad plant, which was commonly used for that purpose in Europe before the trade route to India was opened. The word itself has existed in English since the thirteenth century. Indigo was, until the late 1800’s, the only way to dye fabrics blue. Synthetic indigo, made from coal or petroleum is now common, although natural indigo has nuances and depths not available in the synthetic. Joann’s artist statement: Stitching, folding and manipulating fiber in the dye are my methods of „mark making.‟ The mark is the fundamental element of art. It is the distillation of the process. A dot mark extended forms a line. Many marks form shapes. My favorite quote is from Paul Klee, “ A dot is a line that has gone for a walk”. I like to walk on fiber. I am currently exploring indigo dyeing fiber—both cloth and paper—and sometimes combining from Monteith College at Wayne State University and her M.A. in Adult Learning at Wayne State before going on to graduate from the “Tenth Harvard Institute for the Management of Lifelong Education”. She had a number of exhibitions in Detroit beginning in 1992, winning the Arthur Johnson Award for Excellence at the Detroit Festival of the Arts in 1993 and ending with a one woman show at “Little Things” Gallery in Detroit. Along the way she won a number of writing and advertising awards. In 2002, she and Gene Beckman opened the Three Pines Gallery in Cross Village. The studio is described as “A working studio/gallery based on the principles of the Art & Crafts Movement”. There she works in a room high on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan, drawing inspiration from the colors and the curves where land and water meet. Those of you who receive hard copies of the newsletter may want to go on the web long enough to look at examples of her work in the color version, since color is such a vital part of her (Continued on page 7) “Winter” methods combines shibori and indigo dyeing. She says, You can achieve the darkest midnight blue for a moonless night sky--or something light and delicate for a solstice sky. This medium affords great sensitivity in manipulating a scene. Once you become friends with the material it‟s a matter of abandonment and control. I see it all in my minds eye--the shapes, the textures, the possibilities. It is an endlessly fascinating process. Her works are often adorned and then are carefully framed. A quick glance at Joann Condino’s vita wouldn’t lead one to predict what she is doing now. She majored in philosophy, her senior study being on “Southern Italian Folk Beliefs”, receiving her B.A. (with distinction) “Carta Azzurra” Page 7 Alberta House News EUP (Continued from page 6) work.

BILL MORRISON AND BILL GERRISH IN ART PRIZE 2011 IN GRAND RAPIDS Blacksmith William Morrison and multimedia artist William Gerrish have work in Grand Rapid’s prestigious Artprize 2011. Morrison’s baroque gate (left) is in the Green Lion Gallery; Gerrish’s sculpture, Element of Danger (right) is in the Open Concept Gallery. To quote from the Artprize website: “In its third year, ArtPrize® has become an unexpected phenomenon. Part arts festival, part social experiment, part civic project, the event over- takes an entire city bringing visitors in the hundreds of thousands. Unlike any other event, ArtPrize gives away the largest cash prize for an art competition--$250,000 to the winner, $484,000 total. The winner is decided solely by a public vote. Venues and artists register and find each other through artprize.org. (ArtPrize organizers do not pick any artists to e x h i b i t . ) Designed as a new kind of event, ArtPrize is a platform on which artists can experiment, collaborate, and explore new ideas.” Page 12 Alberta House News FEATURED ARTIST: JUDY HAMILTON “Sherbet Coast Line” If you talk to Judy Hamilton, you get the impression that she’s struggling to break free of a mold, but you’ll be hard put to discern the mold she’s trying to break out of. If you look at the body of her work you’ll look in vain for a signature style or favorite genre. The only thing her pieces have in common is that each is distinctive, crisply executed and well done. There is no common theme or medium. A realistic floral, light and sunny, may well be followed by an abstract, introspective piece. A splashy landscape composed of bright color blocks and minimal detail will be followed by a newspaper collage, mind boggling in its intricacy—hundred of tiny pieces combining to form one proud rooster who, despite being composed of bits of paper and other flotsam, is somehow quite realistic. Judy’s life has also incorporated change. She attended the University of Michigan, Central Michigan Uni- versity and Michigan State before settling down at Northern when her pa r e n t s moved to Marquette. She originally studied nursing (tradition), but ended Hooked rug, about 4‟ x 8‟, now in Judy‟s daughter‟s up, in art kitchen where she belonged, although she did tendant on the Munoscong Golf become a teacher (tradition, Course (nine years), worked restockagain). She earned both her ing, inventorying and cleaning up for bachelor’s and master’s de- a variety of large stores and compagrees after which she taught nies—and continued to paint. art in the Rudyard school. Married for forty-six years, she has three children (a boy and two girls) and four and one half grandchildren. Judy retired from teaching after over thirty years, tired of the paper work, and went on to explore new horizons. Her work since retiring has included substitute teaching, as one would expect, but she has also worked as a cashier in both the St. Ignace and the Brimley casinos; taken the census in both 2000 and 2010 (the DeTour and Kelden areas and the Sault); test driven cars in icy conditions—at night; enumerated migrant workers; collected information on bovine tuberculosis; sold toys in Walmart at Christmas (never again); “Chanticleer”, a mixed media collage, that shared the Second Place Award in the 2010 “Folk Art” worked as a club house at(Continued juried exhibition in Alberta House.on page 13) Volume 2011 Issue 8 Page 13 (Continued from page 12) Judy says her strongest love is design. She’s drawn to the clean lines found in architectural drawings and will use such a framework or a random design as the jumping off point for a painting. She admits to a crisis of conscience, torn between painting realistic scenes that will sell and the free form designs that are bursting to get out. She may, in fact, be as trapped by her very competence and ability as she is by her attraction to a solid framework from which to begin. If she were not able to do the expected so very well, she would be freer to try the unusual. (One who lacks competence doesn’t have this problem as he can actually benefit from a free form style where the lack of skill is not so noticeable.) Judy is a member of the Le Sault Artists Guild and exhibits with the guild at its yearly Alberta House show and as the Artist-of-theMonth at the Bay“You Can‟t Go Home Again”, an acrylic from liss Library. Her the 2009 “Home” juried exhibition last solo exhibit was in Alberta House in May of 2009; her next will be in April of 2013. She also has work in the Alberta House Shop, where she is a frequent volunteer. Peonies, Judy‟s 2010 Auction donation SAULT SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL OVERVIEW We’re looking at a good, well rounded show this year, with something for everyone and many really creative craftsmen. We always look for people who don’t settle for cookie-cutter pieces, but combine fine craftsmanship with creative ideas. We have two metal workers this year who went further and added a sense of humor to the mix. You won’t want to miss the displays of Greg Wilson and Paul Mason (photos of their work are on p. 14). New this year is a ceramic artist, Carole Meier from Grayling, displaying intricate, decorative ceramics (above right). She joins Cheryl Stevens, who has ceramic jewelry, William Hagerty (ovenware) and the Schmidt-Markens (wheel thrown stoneware). There is much for t h e youngs t e r s . The Bayliss Library will be holding a Graffiti Art Contest for Teens. Contestants, who Carole Meier will be supplied with a 4 x 4’’ sheet of luan board and spray paint, must complete their work on site. The art will be judged by a local artist and small prizes will be awarded. Plans are for the art to be displayed the following weekend dur- ing the Friends of the Library’s annual Summer Used Book Sale. The Bayliss will also have sidewalk chalk art for younger children. Look for them on the Maple Street sidewalk. The Olive Craig Gallery is once again hosting its popular art for kids area, complete with balloons, which have been donated by Co-ed Flower and Gifts. (Thank them when you’re there. They donated the balloons last year as well, and that’s a lot of gas filled balloons. The kids loved them!) The Wassons will be there with all sorts of attire for pets, from I.D. tags and collars to bandannas. Dorie Selvius will have her American Girl doll clothes as well as Raggedy Ann dolls, snowmen, Santas and more. (Continued on page 14) Page 14 Alberta House News (Continued from page 13) Joanne Perin will have bibs and baby clothes. And Deidre Stevens will have hand knit clothing for the whole family.

Ruth Goretski is back, after a number of years, with her baskets, and she’s added hand woven rugs to her display. Joan Bonner is back with her paintings on driftwood. Sergio Barcena is back, after a one year break, with his metal jewelry and sculpture. And Mike and Jayne Schroeder are back with Renate Favour, “Sweet Swine” carved Petoskey stones.

Bonnie Dienes brings leather belts and wallets, Sharon Drury entertains with the original keyboard music available on her CDs, and Larry Gilbert brings his carved fish and fish carving kits. Paula Harshman has paintings and photographs, Richard Miller, smoothly carved kitchenware and Jerry Wygant, inlaid wood jewelry. You’ll see a large number of non-profit organizations this year, two with quilt raffles and one with a 50/50 raffle. All have displays, hand-outs and information. The festival will be held on the Court House lawn this year, because of all the construction and detours around the new City Hall. You can park free in the Polyclinic lot during the festival. Festival hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Prizes will be awarded at 5 p.m. Admission is free, as always! And next year we’ll be back to our usual site on the grounds of the new city building.

Plans are still in the works, but we can tell you now that they include a fun-filled barbeque party, and that our intrepid auctioneer, Tom Lehman is on board. Mark your calendars! GARDENS AND GROUNDS For a number of years now, Carol Ward has taken care of the Alberta House gardens, earning us a “Best Garden” award in the process. Increasing knee problems have made it impossible for her to continue tackling that job alone and we need help in the clean up and weeding department. There will also be some replanting now that the porch and ramp have been repaired and more once the dead elm in the back has been removed. If you can help, please get in touch with Carol Ward or Jean Jones ([email protected]—437-5463).

There is, in addition, a $5 surcharge for events held in the Kiwanis Community Theater Center. (When you buy a ticket directly from the presenter, such as the Sault Symphony, that surcharge has already been included in the price.)

HEADS UP FOR SAAC BOARD MEMBERS The SAAC Board has decided to change its current meeting schedule and have regular meetings Tuesday, August 16, and in December, so that it would not be necessary to meet during the slow (and icy) months of January and February. From the Editor: I just learned, through an article by Sandra Houston in the July Articulations, that Janet Short died on June 6. She leaves both a tremendous void and a magnificent legacy for the arts on both sides of the river. People in Sault, Michigan don’t know just how much they owe this unique and capable individual. Her attitude toward the arts was enthusiastic, innovative, energetic and no nonsense. She never sat around moaning; she acted. She didn’t require a guarantee that something would work before she tried it. She wasn’t afraid to fail, but I never knew her not to try. She was a staunch supporter of the Sault Thea- The Marriage of Figaro The Soo Theatre ensemble will perform Mozart’s madcap opera, The Marriage of Figaro, August 18, 19 and 21. The show is produced by Karen Hughes and directed by Timothy Murphy. Visiting professional artists play the leads, with Dawn Krogh as Susanna, John Arnold as Figaro, Thomas Gunther as the Count and the Soo Theatre’s own resident soprano Karen Hughes Beacom as the Countess. The rest of the cast will be filled by local talent, some of whom have participated in the Soo Theatre’s Opera Apprentice Workshop. Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and $10 for students. ARTISTS’ ALERT We’re looking for donations of small (8 x 10” or less) paintings (oil, w/c or acrylic) to use for table prizes at the upcoming Annual Arts Auction. If you are willing to paint one for us, please get in touch with Tedi Selke (635-0463 or [email protected].). You don’t have to worry about matting or shrink wrapping—Tedi will take care of that. We did this a number of years ago, and it was very popular. ter Workshop and an actress in many productions. She was responsible for the resuscitation and reorganization of the Arts Council of Sault and District, which she served as Executive Director, and was instrumental in our establishment of Alberta House and in the general direction that our arts council has taken. We started our one page, mimeographed arts calendar in 1980, and for a while it was a lonely business. It seem as if nobody was out there—but then Janet Short telephoned, out of the blue, with encouragement, advice and a listing of events on her side of the river. That was long before email, and there followed, over the years, a lot of long-distance telephoning and note taking. Travel across the bridge was easy and quick and members of arts organizations on both sides traveled freely back and forth. There was much communication and overlapping of membership, and that brought the arts communities closer together and resulted in a great deal of mutual support and cooperation. Soon I was on the board of the Arts Council of Sault and District and of the Sault Symphony. This lead to even more communication and a far better understanding, on my Volume 2011 Issue 8 part, of the various arts groups, their needs, how they worked and what they had to offer. And whenever we needed advice or information, Janet was ever ready to provide it. When the opportunity for an actual arts center arose, through the generosity of Mrs. Mahlon Stewart and the simultaneous possibility of an Outstate Equity Grant, we were faced with an overwhelming and immediate need for concrete plans and matching funds. The plans requested by the city were architectural in nature—information that demonstrated that the building was sound and that it would work as an arts center. Paul Wilson, Ken Hatfield and Chuck Jones measured everything—all the rooms and the lots. Ken made a drawing (which we grabbed for our logo) and the woodworkers guild came up with basic plans. Then Janet enlisted her husband, Sault, Ontario architect Perry Short, who examined the building from attic to basements, studied the plans, pronounced them both sound, and put his reputation on the line in support. This turned the tide and put us in line for the Outstate Equity Grant. Next came the funding grant from Michigan Council for the Arts. At the suggestion of our generous local artists we had had our first arts auction not long before and the resulting income gave us a toehold from which to start. I started learning about grant writing—the hard way—with an immediate deadline. On the night before the grant was due I was working in Alberta House, alone. This was long before painting and renovation and from the outside the place looked a little like a haunted house. It was October and had turned dark. I faced a mountain of paper work—questions which, it seemed, had no logical (meaning honest) answers; requests for dollar figures that would be at best wild guesses; estimates of potential “audience” numbers for all sorts of, as yet totally fictional, Page 17 events; requests for ethnic quotas that may have made sense in Detroit but had no relation at all to the situation in the Sault, and more of the same nonsense. Janet appeared suddenly, like a fairy godmother, rapping at the door. She dragged me over to (a probably startled) Paul Sabourin’s house for a crash course on what might be expected by a grant administrating agency (the connection being that Paul worked for the corresponding ministry on their side.) Then we went back to Alberta House and she talked me through it. . . and we ultimately got the grant. It wasn’t a big grant, but we had absolutely wonderful volunteers from all the arts organizations and they made up the huge difference with more labor that we were able to document or that people living elsewhere are still able to believe. It all goes to show that more important than grants or money or organization or anything else is the willingness to work for something without a guarantee that you’ll get it, and the mutual trust and cooperation of all the many groups that are involved. We see it today in the success of the Soo Theatre Project, the Chippewa Theatre Guild, the Bayliss Library programming, the Chippewa County Historical Society and countless other organizations in this area, including the Alberta House complex, which is still all volunteer. We all feed off one another and the situation here is unique and a great gift to all of us. As was Janet Short, who helped and encouraged and organized and exhorted all of us, on both sides of the river, right to the end—a huge blessing, wrapped up in one, rather small, generous, innovative, energetic and totally indomitable lady.
