<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">Yesterday I had one of those
moments.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">You know the feeling of traveling on a rollercoaster

insane height and the car stops, your stomach starts to unknot, you take a
breath and look around at an absolutely incredible view. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">And although it isn’t over, that glance of your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 130%;">That moment came for me
yesterday, standing in the tech booth at the the Breman Jewish Heritage and
Holocaust Museum in Atlanta, Georgia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
brought the lights up for the last time, my cast came together to bow for their
audience, and every person immediately stood, filling the room with the sound
of applause. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is when everything
seemed to stop, my view widened, and the depth of this journey was made so
clear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 130%;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 130%;">Yesterday was Yom HaShoah,
Holocaust Remembrance Day, marking the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We spent this day at the Breman Museum,
surrounded by artifacts, recorded histories, celebrated lives, and so many
memories from the Holocaust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were
invited to perform for an intimate group of their docents, amazing individuals dedicated
to preserving the museum, sharing the value of their heritage, promoting peace
and tolerance, and providing continuing education for all of their visitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In attendance were survivors of the
Holocaust, family members of survivors, and even a lovely gentleman introduced
as the designer of the museum. As I looked around the auditorium, I could not
have imagined an audience that could bring more value to this production, for
myself and our cast.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">Then I looked at the stage and
saw twelve of the best and brightest young people I know.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">They embraced the challenges of this
production and diligently worked to provide their best for this moment.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">Their intense appreciation for the honor of
performing in this location, on this date, and for this audience speaks volumes.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">For all of us, this was far more than another
activity or another show to participate in after school.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;">The empathy they used to connect with the
characters they portrayed and their compassion for those who endured the events
of the Holocaust touched me more than I could ever express.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 130%;"> </span></div>

Each month of this unique calendar features a scene from a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Costuming was designed in the style Steampunk and provides a new look for classic tales, such as Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. The settings were all locations in Troup County, Georgia and included Fort Tyler, the West Point Woman’s Club, West Point Lake, Hawkes Library, and Bishom Manor in LaGrange.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
As a part of our efforts to promote artistic opportunities in our rural area, we began holding creative writing workshops for aspiring young authors, also known as Word Artists. We meet at Hawkes Library in West Point, Georgia and have members from across Troup County, as well as Chambers County in Alabama. Our Word Artists incorporate a wealth of artistic talents and creativity into each of their projects and goals. Their latest adventure was the creation of A 2015 Grimm Calendar.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br />
Proceeds from the calendar sales will help provide the necessary resources for the group’s ambitious goals. We anticipate their first publications to be released in May 2015 and also plan to create a program designed to bring Word Artists into local schools, advocating literacy and promoting an interest in creative writing. </div>
</div>
<br />
The generosity of many local sponsors made this project a possibility. As the primary sponsor of the calendar and the home of the Youth Writing Workshop, Hawkes Library and the Friends of Hawkes Library have provided much support for this program and its members. Hooked on Art, in conjunction with David and Becky Guinn, donated most of the costuming used. The fairy-tale environment of Bisham Manor offered the perfect backdrop for a number of stories told. The West Point Woman’s Club provided additional settings and have supported the writing program from its beginning. Additional sponsorsinclude Papadolly’s Boutique, West Point Soap, Eagle 102.3, We Print Ink, Blue Train Books of Hogansville, ProAudio Georgia, Timeless Antiques, Kitchen Cupboard, El Jimador, Celitic Traditons of Auburn, David’s Automotive, Prime Time Restaurant, Attorney Julianne Lynn, Kellie Hubbard of Premier Designs Jewelry, Girl Scout Troop 5165, and numerous private sponsors.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The photography and design services for the project were provided by Amy McDow, who also facilitates the workshops. You can view more of her artwork at <a href="http://www.amymcdow.com/">www.amymcdow.com</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for the first look at the Artistic Moments' Word Artist Calendar!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Word Artists featured in this calendar are a part of the Artistic Moments' Visual & Performing Arts Education Program in West Point, GA. Aspiring young writers meet bi-monthly at Hawkes Library to strengthen their writing talents and encourage each other as they work toward the goal of becoming published authors. The group is also actively working to advocate for literacy and promote an interest in creative writing throughout their communities. The combination of writing with other artistic interests has created a unique workshop environment that appeals to a diverse group of young people, as illustrated within these pages. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Word Artists are already picking out costumes and enlargements of the calendar's artwork will be on display at Hawkes during the release party. We are even bringing in a special printing of the calendar that will allow you to collect as many autographs as you like! Of course, we will provide refreshments and and a relaxed environment that can be enjoyed by your whole family. </div>

<span class="s1">Spend 2015 exploring the original source of many well-loved fairy tales, as written by the Brothers Grimm, with scenes portrayed in Steampunk fashion, by youth in West Point and surrounding areas. The Artistic Moments' Word Artists are combining their love of literature, creativity, and theatrical skills in a unique wall-calendar for this upcoming year. Proceeds benefit the Artistic Moments’ Word Artist program, which enhances members’ writing skills, provides resources for self-publication, and promotes young authors. </span></div>

The program hopes to expand opportunities for lower-income residents, as well as allow members to visit local schools advocating literacy and promoting an interest in creative writing, by sharing their publications with other students. Thank you for supporting the development and growth of this program.</span></div>

This Friday, on June 13th, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm EDT, we welcome Thea McElvy and Corbin Hoats as our guest artists. Thea will be showing her latest line of artwork for the first time to the public. The vibrant colors and familiar subjects portrayed have already caused much anticipation among her fans. Corbin Hoats is fast becoming one of community's favorite performers. His eclectic mix of genres and his unique style of music never fails to entertain his audiences. </div>

Each month, we plan to transform the West Point Woman's Clubhouse into a "coffee house," featuring both visual and performing artists. Plan to join us on the second Friday of each month as we host a variety of talent, in an atmosphere designed for relaxation and creativity.</div>

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4845972293269088546.post-74718609194363137362013-10-22T16:00:00.000-04:002013-10-22T23:46:10.415-04:0010 Reasons to Support the ArtsFrom <a href="http://americaforthearts.org/">AmericaForTheArts.org</a><br />
<br />
1. True prosperity . . . The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us—fostering creativity, goodness, and beauty. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion, or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.<br />
<br />
2. Improved academic performance . . . Students with an education rich in the arts have higher GPAs and standardized test scores, lower drop-out rates, and even better attitudes about community service—<br />
benefits reaped by students regardless of socio-economic status. Students with four years of arts or music in high school average 100 points better on their SAT scores than students with one-half year or less.<br />
<br />
3. Arts are an Industry . . . Arts organizations are responsible businesses, employers, and consumers. Nonprofit arts organizations generate $135 billion in economic activity annually, supporting 4.1 million jobs and generating $22.3 billion in government revenue. Investment in the arts supports jobs, generates tax revenues, promotes tourism, and advances our creativity-based economy.<br />
<br />
4. Arts are good for local merchants . . . The typical arts attendee spends $24.60 per person, per event, not including the cost of admission on items such as meals, parking, and babysitters. Attendees who live outside the county in which the arts event takes place spend twice as much as their local counterparts ($39.96 vs. $17.42)—valuable revenue for local businesses and the community.<br />
<br />
5. Arts are the cornerstone of tourism . . . Arts travelers are ideal tourists—they stay longer and spend more. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that the percentage of international travelers including museum visits on their trip has increased from 17 to 23 percent since 2003, while the share attending concerts and theater performances increased from 13 to 16 percent (only 7 percent include a sports event).<br />
<br />
6. Arts are an export industry . . . U.S. exports of arts goods (e.g., movies, paintings, jewelry) grew to $64 billion in 2010, while imports were just $23 billion—a $41 billion arts trade surplus in 2010.<br />
<br />
7. Building the 21st Century workforce . . . Reports by the Conference Board show creativity is among the top 5 applied skills sought by business leaders—with 72 percent saying creativity is of high importance when hiring. The biggest creativity indicator? A college arts degree. Their Ready to Innovate report concludes, “…the arts—music, creative writing, drawing, dance—provide skills sought by employers of the 3rd millennium.”<br />
<br />
8. Healthcare . . . Nearly one-half of the nation’s healthcare institutions provide arts programming for patients, families, and even staff. 78 percent deliver these programs because of their healing benefits to patients—shorter hospital stays, better pain management, and less medication.<br />
<br />
9. Stronger communities . . . University of Pennsylvania researchers have demonstrated that a high concentration of the arts in a city leads to higher civic engagement, more social cohesion, higher child welfare, and lower poverty rates. A vibrant arts community ensures that young people are not left to be raised solely in a pop culture and tabloid marketplace.<br />
<br />
10. Creative Industries . . . The Creative Industries are arts businesses that range from nonprofit museums, symphonies, and theaters to for-profit film, architecture, and design companies. An analysis of Dun & Bradstreet data counts 905,689 businesses in the U.S. involved in the creation or distribution of the arts that employ 3.35 million people—representing 4.4 percent of all businesses and 2.2 percent of all employees, respectively (get a Creative Industry report for your community here).<br />

Take just a moment to see how Art affects your world. I am not just referring to Crayons and Tacky Glue, but Art as a whole. Let me get you started....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You woke this morning...</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Turned off your alarm (music)</li>
<li>Picked out clothes to put on (fashion design)</li>
<li>Chose a coffee cup (pottery)</li>
<li>Enjoyed a quick breakfast (culinary arts)</li>
<li>Opened your newspaper (graphic design)</li>
<li>Watched the news (videography)</li>
<li>On your couch (interior design)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
...and we haven't even left your home yet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Art is everywhere and, whether we realize it or not, we all crave it and appreciate artistic excellence when we see it. Artists are people that make a lasting impact on you and your life. Here are just a few examples:</div>
<div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>The orator, experienced in public speaking, that combines dramatic storytelling with visual graphics to illustrate ideas that seem to reach out and grab you.</li>
<li>The musician who gives life to the silent whispers of your soul.</li>
<li>The writer who captivates you so much that, when the sun begins to rise on your sleepless night, you still can't release the book in your hands. </li>
<li>The photographer that stops time to draw you into a captured moment and shows you far more than you could ever see alone.</li>
<li>The painter who combines colors and brush strokes, creating an image that forces you to stop and consider what the canvas holds.</li>
<li>The actor who brings you into a story and makes you feel as if you are a part of the experience on stage.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
We all know that a drawing can transform a piece of paper into a masterpiece, but can you imagine what that process does for the artist? Having the ability to create is one of the most empowering things we will experience in life. Fortunately, it is an experience available to everyone.<br />
<br />
Art has the power to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. Think about it...really think about it. The value for so much in our lives depends upon the Arts. Art is the tool needed to reveal the full potential of this beautiful life and it should be celebrated, appreciated, and encouraged all day, every day. <br />
<br />
Why not start right now?</div>
