Spring 2015 - Oglebay Institute

A Message from the President
Oglebay Institute Receives Gifts
Since embarking on my
new journey as president of
Oglebay Institute, I have
been overwhelmed by the
warm reception from the
community. I have experienced
many poignant moments over
the last few months. One, in
particular, was the welcome
reception introducing me to
the community. As I looked around the Stifel Fine Arts
Center that evening, I was truly moved not only because
nearly 200 members, donors, friends, current and past
board members and employees ventured out during one
of the worst snow events of the season but also because
of the love and support for Oglebay Institute that was
so apparent. The room was filled with people of all ages
and all interests – artists, community partners, students,
nature enthusiasts, business leaders, historians, parents,
and educators– a microcosm of Oglebay Institute. The
energy in the room was palpable; the stories shared were
inspiring.
James B. Chambers Foundation
Contributes to Camp Scholarship Fund
For those of you who I was unable to talk with at the
reception and those who were unable to attend, I hope
that we will have that chance in the near future. I look
forward to more conversations about your experiences
with Oglebay Institute and hearing your thoughts about
how we can evolve to continue to meet the needs of our
community.
I am optimistic and excited about the future and working
side-by-side with the creative, talented and dedicated
staff and board to ensure that we continue to deliver the
highest quality educational and cultural programs to our
community. For 85 years, Oglebay Institute has thrived
thanks to the loyal support of you – our members,
donors, sponsors, volunteers and program participants.
You make our work possible. With your continued
support and by advancing a culture of communication,
creativity and collaboration, the possibilities are endless.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Danielle Cross McCracken
Oglebay Institute President

Early this year, nearly 200 area middle-school students were
immersed in the work and life of one of the most important
20th-century African-American artists through a series of
lessons developed by Oglebay Institute for classroom use. The
project was made possible through an American Masterpieces
Grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.
Focusing on artist Jacob Lawrence
(1917-1999), the series of lessons was
piloted at Wheeling Middle School,
Wheeling Country Day School,
St. Michael’s Parish School and
Triadelphia Middle School.
Wheeling Middle
School 7th-grade
student Alayna Crow
shows off a 3D star
book, one of several
lessons created by OI
and inspired by Jacob
Lawrence’s Migration
Series of artwork.
Lawrence was a celebrated painter
and visual storyteller who, through his
work, depicted important periods in
African-American history – from the
abolition of slavery to the Civil Rights
Movement of the 1960s.
During his career, Lawrence received
many awards for his work, including
election to the prestigious American
Academy of Arts and Letters. His art
is in the collections of the Museum of
Modern Art, the Phillips Collection, the Whitney Museum,
the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
Because Lawrence’s
creative body of work
combines fine art with
American history and
social issues, OI chose
him as a focal point for
a unique cross-curricular
school program to offer
to schools in celebration
of Black History Month.
4
and objectives in visual art, language
arts and social studies. The result is
a kit containing everything teachers
need to present four hands-on
lessons centered around Lawrence’s
work.
Prior to conducting the program
in their classrooms, participating
teachers attended a training
workshop at OI and received
supplies including a CD-ROM
including Lawrence’s biography,
samples of his work, a timeline of
The Great Migration, information
on West Virginia’s role in The Great
Migration and the Civil Rights
era and details about the Harlem
Renaissance.
Students from Madison
Elementary School’s second
grade Anchor Program
created this multimedia cloth
quilt mimicking the original
Migration Series panels
created by Jacob Lawrence.
Just as Jacob Lawrence did in his Migration Series of artwork, Wheeling
Middle School 8th-grade students Rayvaughn Martin (left) and Butchie
Powell (right) create a book of milestones in their own lives using
Lawrence’s same techniques.
Above is a cut construction paper
collage by Wheeling Middle School
student Jonah Harkness – done in the
style of Jacob Lawrence and depicting
B.B. King. The study of influential
African-Americans in history was also
incorporated into classroom lessons.
In developing the
program, OI’s visual
arts department, led by
director Rick Morgan,
conducted the background research, designed the curriculum
and created teaching materials that reinforce content standards
Oglebay Institute Memberworks | Spring 2015
Student artwork created during the program is on display
in the Ohio County Public Library and the West Liberty
University library.
Studying Jacob Lawrence increased students’ knowledge about
and appreciation for the artist’s work, but more than that, it
helped them understand the historical and cultural context
in which it was created. Looking at history and social studies
through the lens of art and the creative process gives students a
new perspective on familiar topics, teaching them the value of
examining issues from multiple vantage points.
With the success of the pilot program, OI plans to make the
Jacob Lawrence classroom kits available to other schools in the
future.
The Lawrence project was presented with financial assistance
from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, and
the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the
West Virginia Commission on the Arts.
West Virginia Division of Culture and History Commissioner Randall
Reid-Smith visited the Stifel Fine Arts Center in April to learn about the
Jacob Lawrence Project, which was funded by the WVDCH. The project
immersed 200 middle-school students in the work and life of Lawrence, one
of the most important 20th-century African-American artists.
Reid-Smith is pictured here with Stifel Center director Rick Morgan (left)

One of the world’s most famous
books is coming to Wheeling in 2016.
Oglebay Institute’s Mansion Museum
has been selected as West Virginia’s
stop on the Folger Shakespeare
Library’s national tour of the First
Folio, marking the 400th anniversary
of William Shakespeare’s death.
The First Folio, published in 1623 by two of the playwright’s
colleagues, is so important because it’s the first collected
edition of Shakespeare’s plays. It contains 36 scripts and
is the original source for such works as “Macbeth,” “Julius
Caesar,” “Twelfth Night” and “The Tempest.” Of the 750
copies, believed to have been originally published, 233
survive today, and the Folger owns 82.
Hundreds of hopeful libraries, museums and historical
societies vied for a chance to host the traveling exhibition
First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, which will
visit all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The
2016 tour has been designed by the Folger in partnership
with the Cincinnati Museum Center and the American
Library Association.
“We are honored to have been selected as a venue to help
share this extraordinary part of the world’s cultural heritage,”
said Oglebay Institute director of museums Christin Byrum.
“For most people
this will be a once in a
lifetime opportunity to come
within inches of one of the most
influential books in history.”
Accompanying the rare book will be
a multi-panel exhibition exploring
the significance of Shakespeare, then
and now, with additional digital
content and interactive activities.
Oglebay Institute has partnered with
West Liberty University, Wheeling
Jesuit University and the Ohio

Member Spotlight: Vaughn Miller
Vaughn Miller has been an Oglebay
Institute member since 1994. And
while her interests at OI are many,
Mrs. Miller has a special place in her
heart for the OI School of Dance
and takes particular pride in the
accomplishments of the school’s
students.
Why? In addition to her support
of OI at the patron membership
level, she chose in 2004 to establish
Vaughn Miller
a dance scholarship at the school.
A dancer herself, Mrs. Miller wanted to make it possible
for others to experience the joy of dance. Now entering its
12th year, the Vaughn Miller Dance Scholarship soon will be
awarded to two new OI students.
A Wheeling native, Mrs. Miller began dancing at the age of
three, studying with the legendary Mary Elizabeth Fassig
Keyser (“Miss Fassig,” 1905-1986), a 2015 Wheeling Hall of
Fame inductee.
Mrs. Miller was a member of the prestigious Orchesis
Dance Ensemble while at WVU, where after graduation
she married law student Thomas Miller. The two later
moved to Charleston when
he became a W.Va. State
Supreme Court Justice. Upon
their return to Wheeling in
1994, Mrs. Miller started a
dance aerobics class that has
continued for 21 years at
Stone Presbyterian Church.
Her hope is that like her
students, the recipients of her
scholarship will continue to
experience the joy of dance
throughout their lives.

dance partner while the two were
students at West Virginia University

Backwards Glance: Mountain Moon Coffeehouse
Oglebay Institute’s longtime bluegrass and
folk music series Mountain Moon Coffeehouse
returned for a special one-night-only program
featuring the Cabin Fever String Band on April
25 at the Stifel Fine Arts Center.
Mountain Moon Coffeehouse is one of Oglebay
Institute’s most successful musical programs.
From 1986 through 2011, Mountain Moon
concerts featured 240 performances and raised
thousands of dollars for Oglebay Institute’s
environmental education programs.
The program took place for 13 seasons at the
A.B. Brooks Nature Center (now the Schrader
Environmental Education Center) and then
moved to the Stifel Fine Arts Center for another
12.
