Wallace Foundation Arts Programs

http://www.wallacefoundation.org/GrantsPrograms

For well over a decade, The Wallace Foundation has invested in leading cultural groups across the country that are working to make the arts an active part of people's everyday lives. These theaters, museums, dance companies, community art schools and centers have in common a twin commitment to artistic excellence and service to people. Through their artistic programs, business practices and public efforts, these exemplary institutions are demonstrating that excellence need not mean exclusion, and that the wealth of the arts can be multiplied through the shared experience of participation. The successes and failures of these groups can, if well documented, provide valuable insights that other arts organizations, funders and supporters can put to practical use in improving the quality, access and health of the arts.

Workshop Opportunity. Plein-Air Painting and Photography Workshops/Two Rivers-Two LandsProject Director; Lew Wilson, Widely recognized painter and nature photographer will be conducting workshops to bring capital assistance in reaching four non-profit formal viewing exhibits, among other, in the belief that the Fine Arts can make a difference to young and old alike in taking care of the Good Earth. These workshops will consist of guided explorations in natural settings that will inspire participants to respond to these unique landscapes in original creative ways. What makes these landscapes unique is that they are pristine yet, paradoxical rich in history. Workshop settings will be at the North Fork Dude Ranch in Shawnee, Colorado and the Historic Gibson Inn in Apalachicola, Florida for a 3-4 or one-week stay-over site. Both regions that still remain in an historic setting; The soul, as it were, of both settings is a river known as the North Fork River of the South Platte and the Apalachicola River of Apalachicola in north Florida's 'Last and Forgotten Coast'. Participants will use their hidden creative talent understanding light and composition from the minimal components in nature to the majestic including understanding methods and techniques in drawing, painting and photography to accomplish a rewarding experience. Large format digital 4x5 photography will be included. The objective is to go beyond referencing locale through imagery of allusion to obtain a new awareness of oneself and one's creativity as the result of encountering these almost mystical places. Each one discloses an essential, if often ignored, aspect of our complex cultural system as a technologically advanced culture whose sense of self remains linked to the frontier in finding our place in nature. This workshop will also offer information on archival practices, artist portfolio presentation design. For information and some career background on Lew Wilson please visit the artist's website at; http://www.4biz.com/lewwilson then go to topics at left of image, contacting Lew Wilson through his e-mail at; lewwilsonphoto@excite.com with questions to enrollment.
