benefit women artists over the age of 55. As a long-time

artist herself, Baker recognizes the challenges faced by

many of her peers. The Dina Baker Fund for Mature

Female Artists will provide a $10,000 award to an artist

who will be able to use the funds for professional devel-

opment, arts-related exhibition expenses, equipment,

supplies and even healthcare costs and/or basic living

expenses.

What’s more, Baker has told us that she has included the

Cultural Council in her estate plan to ensure that her

support of women artists will continue in perpetuity. We

are exceptionally grateful to this wonderful woman for

her foresight and generosity.

As we begin 2016, we’re preparing for our annual Muse

Awards event, which recognizes individuals and organi-

zations that truly stand out in the cultural community. We

are grateful to Roe Green and Christine Stiller for serv-

ing as co-chairs of the Muse Awards. We know that, with

their leadership, we can look forward to another spec-

tacular Muse Awards celebration on March 31.

We recognize that the gratitude we feel is shared by

countless other nonprofit cultural organizations and

institutions that benefit from the philanthropists in our

community. Many of these organizations also receive

public-sector support for their missions through our

grants programs, for which they are also grateful.

To everyone who supports the mission of the Cultural

Council of Palm Beach County, we wish you a happy,

healthy and prosperous new year. We are grateful to

each and every one of you.

WELCOME TO art&culture

8 | art&culture

Before we rush into an exceptionally busy schedule of

events, exhibitions and services to the community in

2016, it’s worthwhile for all of us at the Cultural Council

of Palm Beach County to take a moment to reflect on the

year just ended. If I could sum up my feelings about 2015

in a single word, it would be “gratitude.”

Why gratitude? It’s simple, really. Our organization ben-

efitted from several examples of exceptional forward

thinking by both the public and private sectors during

the year – and we would be remiss if we did not feel

grateful for the results.

On the public front, the Palm Beach County Board of

County Commissioners and the Tourist Development

Council increased their investment in the work of the

Cultural Council by more than $1 million annually. This

significant commitment of such a substantial amount of

money suggests that the Commissioners and the TDC

are confident in our abilities to serve our community –

both as a grant-maker and as an advocate for cultural

tourism. We have already put these funds to good use in

ways that will generate numerous positive results.

On the private side of the equation, we continue to ben-

efit from the generosity of many philanthropists who

believe in the importance of our work and show their

support through financial contributions. The investments

they make are exceptionally meaningful because they

allow us to stretch the boundaries of what we can do to

serve the community.

To cite just one example, artist Dina Baker established a

fund within the Council during this past year that will

abundance of color – including the gratifyingly green

lettuce ware produced by Jupiter resident Dodie Thayer,

the subject of “The Pioneering Potter”on page 58.

The Warhol canvases that usually fill the home of Boca

Raton collector Marc Bell with color are currently on

exhibit at the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which is also

hosting the first museum showing of Bob Colacello’s

candid photographs of Warhol and his friends. Scott

Eyman spoke with Colacello, one of Warhol’s closest

associates, for the story “Factory Man” on page 48.

Colacello will be at the museum for an event in

January. Patti LaBelle will be at the Kravis Center in

West Palm Beach in February. Joshua Bell is coming to

The Palm Beaches in March. In fact, approximately two

million people – including countless artists and enter-

tainers – visit Palm Beach County each year. That

means some 20 million guests have been drawn to our

concert halls, theaters, museums and galleries as well

as our beaches and boutiques since the first issue of

art&culture hit the stands.

Whether you’re enjoying all that The Palm Beaches

have to offer for a few days or for a lifetime, I invite you

to turn to page 67, where you’ll find our annual cultur-

al guide, a handy reference to the county’s attractions

ranging from restaurants and resorts to nature centers

and family activities, festivals and fine art.

Enjoy!

10 | art&culture

Ten years ago, I had the privilege of working with Rena

Blades, the president and CEO of the Cultural Council

of Palm Beach County, to create a publication that

would showcase the amazing talent, creative energy,

artistic achievement and philanthropic commitment

that makes our community so special. art&culture

Magazine of Palm Beach County was born!

Over the past 10 years, we have been proud to share

the stories of intriguing and innovative people, places

and happenings in our community. Moving forward, I

know we’re not going to the least little bit of trouble

filling the pages of this award-winning publication. In

the years ahead, Palm Beach County’s cultural land-

scape is going to be changing in new and exciting ways

– as you’ll see in our feature story “10” on page 42.

One promising new idea is already making an impact.

Read about it in “Cultural Concierge Welcomes New

Possibilities,” on page 62.

In “From There to Here,” on page 54, regular a&c con-

tributor Amy Woods will introduce you to The Art of

Dr. Seuss – and shine a light on new relationships that

are strengthening the cultural community. On page

36, you’ll meet Delray Beach dancer and educator

Maryann Payne, the subject of our Portrait.

From dinosaurs (on page 24) to dogs (in our Most

Wanted column on page 33), you could say that this

issue of art&culture is full of life! You’ll also find an

This honor is a great testimony to our experience and technology. More importantly, if any member of their families needed a procedure, the best eye doctors in the world would tell them to travel long distances to get here. And that makes you very lucky.

The Boynton Beach Art District

is celebrating five years of arts pro-

gramming, community outreach,

concerts, open mic nights, exhibi-

tions and attitude. In addition to its

signature annual event, the multi-

media KeroWACKED festival, the

alternative contemporary art scene

offers monthly art walks on the

fourth Thursday of every month.

Twenty years ago, the Center for

Creative Education was created to

strengthen the presence of the arts in

local classrooms. Like many twen-

tysomethings, the innovative arts inte-

gration organization is spreading its

wings. Based in a former roller skating

rink in West Palm Beach’s funky

Northwood Village, CCE recently wel-

comed three new staff members and

hosted its first in-house curated art exhi-

bition in a newly renovated gallery. More

is on the way: a schedule of proposed

exhibitions now stretches well into 2017.

INDIANA JONESAND THE

FABULOUS FESTIVAL

LET’S MEET BETWEEN THE COVERS

Palm Beach County is awash in love, despair and revenge – and for that, we

can thank the Literacy Coalition of Palm Beach County, which has selected Chris

Bohjalian’s The Light in the Ruins for its 2016 Read Together campaign. Set

against an exquisitely rendered Italian countryside, the book is a story of moral

paradox, human frailty and the mysterious ways of the heart. It’s also a darn

good mystery.

People are already talking – about the book, about the discounts available

on it and about the many Read Together events taking shape all across the com-

munity. The campaign will culminate in April, when Bohjalian, the New York

Times bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls, comes to town

to tell tales.

TIME FLIES

What do violin superstar Joshua Bell, trumpet

legend Herb Alpert and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria have in

common with Raiders of the Lost Ark? All of them can

be seen at Festival of the Arts BOCA, which is cele-

brating its 10th anniversary this year.

While Indiana Jones battles bad guys on the big

screen, a live orchestra will perform John Williams’ epic

score as the festival opens on March 4. Bell, appearing

as both the featured soloist and conductor of the Lynn

Philharmonia in a performance of Vivaldi’s Four

Seasons, will bring the celebration of art and ideas to a

rousing close on March 16. In between, a robust lineup

of performers, thinkers and authors – ranging from

author Laila Lalami to Cirque de la Symphonie – will

take the stage at either the Mizner Park Amphitheater

or Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos is an award-winning

inventor and philanthropist whose love of

technology and the arts will come together on

March 9, when the Raymond F. Kravis Center for

the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach debuts

an astounding digital organ. The instrument –

which boasts five keyboards, 96 audio channels

and more than 200 stops – is the first of its kind to

be installed in a performing arts venue anywhere

in the world.

The $1.5 million Opus 11 organ, which is

being financed by Dreyfoos and crafted by

Marshall & Ogletree, of Needham, Mass., will be

introduced in a concert featuring internationally

acclaimed organist Cameron Carpenter, who will

perform with the Jacksonville Symphony

Orchestra. The 34-year old, Julliard-trained

virtuoso has been both praised and criticized for

his unorthodox interpretations of the organ as

well as for his advocacy of the digital organ.

Following its historic debut, the

groundbreaking organ will be available not only

for Kravis Center performances but also for

serious musicians, students and teachers within

the community.

Wyoming. The trip was worth it. DePalma led a team of paleontologists that dis-

covered a new species of dinosaur – a large, lethal predator dubbed Dakotaraptor.

The 17-foot long raptor, which could reach speeds of 30 to 40 miles per hour

in its pursuit of prey, wielded its vicious claws 66 million years ago. The freakishly

feathered find was announced in a study published this fall by the University of

Kansas Paleontological Institute.

FINE FEATHERED FIENDS

AN EARTH-SHAKING EXHIBITMore than a dozen dinosaurs are shaking things up at the South Florida

Science Center & Aquarium in West Palm Beach. Dinosaurs Around the World: The

Exhibition, on display through April 16, invites guests to travel back to an age when

dinosaurs ruled the planet. A global adventure

stretching from the

inland seas of North

America to the arid

deserts of Brazil and on

to the once-tropical beaches of

Antarctica, the exhibit features 13 life-sized

roaring animatronic dinosaurs as well as

fossils, cutting-edge research and

immersive design elements to

paint a vivid picture about the

prehistoric planet and its early

inhabitants.

The Gilded Age respected individualism and wealth.

Not surprisingly, the era also saw a high premium placed

on portraiture. In the late 19th century, a brilliant genera-

tion of American and European artists – including John

Singer Sargent and Gilbert Stuart – rose to meet the

demand. Fifty-three of the stunning portraits they created,

all of them depicting prominent New Yorkers of the day,

are featured in Beauty’s Legacy: Gilded Age Portraits in

America, on display at the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach

from Jan. 26 through April 17.

As opposed to the artists of the late-19th century who

celebrated lives lived on a grand stage, Njideka Akunyili Crosby

puts the emphasis on figures in intimate familial and domestic

settings. In large-scale works that comprise both painting and

collage, the African-born artist creates compositions that appear

as views into everyday life. Look again. On closer observation,

her works are careful constructions that are subtly subversive.

According to Foreign Policy magazine, which named the

Los Angeles-based artist to its 2015 list of the top 100 leading

global thinkers, “For Akunyili Crosby, mixing forms and

merging styles is about bridging the complexities of the old

world and the new, between her native home in Nigeria and

her adopted one in the United States.” The Norton Museum of

Art in West Palm Beach is organizing the first survey of her

work. Njideka Akunyili Crosby: I Refuse to be Invisible will be

on display Jan. 28 through April 24.

The Art of the Motorcycle: March 25 through May 21From the Harley to the Triumph, the motorcycle is seen as a symbol of freedom

and expression. In Palm Beach County, customized two-wheeled works of art elevate

bikes above the conventional with fluid lines, pin striping, flashes of chrome and sculp-

ture-like parts. This exhibition will showcase the artists who capture the power and

grace of these machines as well as the skilled technicians who transform them into

works of art.

The curve and grace of the

female form has attracted artists

for millennia. In this exhibition, the

female form is portrayed as a sub-

ject, an object – but also as a war-

rior, a force and a responsive pres-

ence. The show, which is curated

by Sibel Kocabasi, Raheleh Filsoofi

and the Cultural Council’s manager

of artist services, Nichole M.

Hickey, will feature live performanc-

es as well as two-dimensional and

three-dimensional works.

MOST WANTED:AN HOMAGE TO OUR BEST FRIEND

Like so many of you, art&culture

loves dogs. Large and small,

short-haired or shaggy,

house-trained, born to be wild,

sculpted, painted or crafted in

prose, no matter what the breed

or medium, there’s something

about a wet nose and a wagging

tail that’s hard to resist. Of

course, the dogs you’ll find

romping through Palm Beach

County’s cultural landscape

will always be a breed apart.

Here are a few of our favorites.

UP AGAINST THE WALL

Case, aka Andreas von Chrzanowski, a founding member of the renowned East German Ma’Claim

Crew, used the medium of spray paint to open a door to the arts in West Palm Beach. The worldly

street artist, known for his photo-realistic style, recently created a mural featuring a curious canine

on the side of the Tin Fish building on Clematis Street as part of the city’s inaugural CANVAS

Outdoor Museum Show. Joseph D. Myers also created a mural featuring a dog, in this case a

fierce hound. Myers’ “Settler Fighting Alligator from Rowboat” (oil on canvas) was completed

in 1946 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal art program and can still be seen

on the lobby wall of the Lake Worth post office on Lucerne Avenue.

SOCIAL ANIMALS

A compact pack of four bush dogs is ruff-ing

at the Palm Beach Zoo & Conservation

Society in West Palm Beach. A rare canine

species from South and Central America

that is active during the day, bush dogs are

about the size of a terrier (11-18 pounds).

Don’t underestimate them just because

they have short legs. Bush dogs are highly

social; adept at using vocalizations to com-

municate, they work together effectively to

hunt relatively larger prey. They even have a

secret weapon – webbed feet – that lets

them pursue their quarry into the water.

IMAGINATIONS UNLEASHED

Old Yeller, Marley and Clifford

the Big Red Dog are among the

countless canine heroes who have

found a home at the Gioconda and

Joseph King Library at the Society

of the Four Arts in Palm Beach. The

popular books they romp through –

written by Ted Gipson, Josh Grogan

and Norman Bridwell, respectively –

are among the 75,000 titles and periodicals in the library’s collection. You can find shelves over-

flowing with DVDs and CDs, too, and the library’s rare book room features a number of notable

collections, including the personal library of famed Palm Beach architect Addison Mizner.

Here’s some simple yet effective advice for students struggling with

algebra or biology homework: brush up your Shakespeare! Research has

shown that performing the Bard’s work helps students gain a better

understanding of complex texts – including science and math material.

Not surprisingly, Shakespeare figures in the school curriculum at G-

Star School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, which specializes in film, ani-

mation and performing arts. Over the winter break, Acting I students

were asked to develop a character study from one of the playwright’s

most famous works. In the past, Alex Sherman, a teacher in the school’s

theater department, says, they’ve tackled the balcony scene from

Romeo and Juliet in class. “It’s always fun to watch because, in the

beginning, the kids have no idea what they’re saying. As they hear it

more and more, they start picking up,” he says. “That really helps them

increase their analytical thinking.”

Children don’t have to aspire to be actors, though, and they cer-

tainly don’t have to confine their creative adventures to the words of

Shakespeare, to benefit from theater education. The buzz of activity sur-

rounding a school play offers opportunities for stage hands, lighting

technicians, costume designers and a host of others to shine as brightly

behind the scenes as the stars on stage do.

Theater education, on-stage and off, can boost self-esteem, build

confidence and enhance public speaking – but that’s just the beginning.

Research has shown that a little bit of drama can go a long way when it

comes to gains in reading proficiency, motivation, social skills, under-

standing and compassion.

Those who enter the world of the stage gain acceptance and dis-

cover a sense of belonging. They know they are part of something larg-

er than themselves. Students not only benefit from the shared experi-

ence, they share the experiences of the characters they bring to life.

Reams of data provide compelling evidence that studying or participat-

ing in the fine arts – including theater – also improves academic performance.

The arts have the power to reduce dropout rates, increase attendance and

develop a spirit of cooperation, in addition to fostering the kind of creative

thinking that employers are looking for in the 21st-century workforce.

Whether learning how to make a show-stopping entrance on stage

or how to give an actor a working door through which to make that

entrance, Sherman believes theater education also provides students

with an opportunity to work out typical teenage frustrations. Episodes of

violence or disruption are rare at G-Star, he says. “In incidences of bully-

ing or belittling, when people are being rude or mean to someone, I’ve

personally witnessed other students – who may not even know [the vic-

tim] – step in,” he says.

Simply attending a theatrical performance has proven benefits, too.

According to a study released by the University of Arkansas in 2014, stu-

dents who attended live performances of Hamlet and A Christmas Carol

had a greater increase in knowledge than those who read or saw movie

versions of the plays. Attending the live performance also enabled stu-

dents to better recognize and appreciate what other people think and

feel, contributing to a measurable increase in tolerance and empathy.

As Shakespeare himself said, “The play’s the thing.”

For Maryann Payne, dance is more

than performance art. It’s a way to

promote diversity and acceptance.

professional dancer and the star of the recently re-

leased short film Brown Ballerina, Payne is bringing a message of hope

and encouragement to students at the Milagro Center in Delray Beach.

Like the character she plays in the film, who met with prejudice at

every turn, Payne was often one of the only dancers of color in a studio

when she was studying dance, especially in high school. Challenges

abounded, even in simple things like finding tights that matched her skin

tone. Her body differed from others in the classroom.

Instead of trapping her, those painful experiences emboldened the

Delray Beach resident. With time, she learned to transform obstacles into

motivation and strength, allowing her to launch a successful career. “In my

life, those issues encouraged me to prove I’m capable no matter what

my skin color is,” she says. “I do this because I love it. I want to en-

courage others to feel that too.”

Nicole Escalera, the cultural arts director at the

Milagro Center, a nonprofit arts-integrated

educational and cultural-arts facility that

serves children from some of the

area’s most disadvantaged

populations, says Payne

is swiftly achiev-

ing this goal. “She’s so involved with the community here. She’s always on;

she’s truly excited about what she does and that serves as motivation for

the children,” she says. “I don’t think many kids know someone like that.

Most of them are not exposed to dance or the arts.”

A lithe and powerful dancer, Payne trained at Lulu Washington Dance

Theatre in her native Los Angeles as well as Boynton Beach’s Southern

Dance Theatre before attending Dreyfoos School of the Performing Arts

in West Palm Beach and the New World School of the Arts in Miami

Beach. The recipient of a scholarship to the Alvin Ailey Summer Intensive

Program, she also trained at the iconic Dance Theatre of Harlem, an ex-

perience that helped dispel any lingering doubts she may have had about

her own abilities.

Today, she is a majestic presence on stage and screen, patient in the

face of prejudice. She performs with the traveling 6 o’Clock

Dance Theater, based in Miami, and has been a fea-

tured dancer for Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines.

According to Escalera, Payne infuses her

students with self-esteem and encourages

them to come out of their shells. “I have

seen timid kids breaking out into a rou-

tine she taught them on the side-

{ u p f r o n t - p o r t r a i t }

walk to show me how hard they are working,” she says. “Around her, they walk

taller and work harder.”

Harnessing her artistic passion along with her innate interpersonal skills, Payne

seems determined to combat the exclusivity of the ballet world and the kind of

negative feedback she received as a student. “I remember in school, one guest

choreographer asked our teacher if my partner would struggle with my body type

– my hips, my thighs. It made me insecure about my body. I pushed myself for a

while and I restricted my diet.”

She wants students – of any and every color – to find the joy she has known

in dance. “I tell my dancers, you have to be comfortable in your own skin. Don’t

try to please someone else,” she says. “Focus on the dancing.”

Payne also wants educators and artists to understand the impact of their work

and words. “There’s beauty in many different things,” she says simply.

Eventually, Payne, who also teaches at the George Washington Carver Mid-

dle School in Coral Gables, hopes to audition for Broadway. For now, she’s invig-

orated by her students and the dynamic arts scene in Palm Beach County.

“The dance community here is growing steadily,” she says. “The mix of dif-

ferent genres and artists adds to the color of the scene here. I love reaching out

to the community, teaching about and with brown dancers – and the collabora-

tion that follows. That aspect of our South Florida community is unique and hard

to find elsewhere.”

When Bert Korman moved to Palm Beach County from Philadelphia

25 years ago, the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm

Beach had yet to open its doors, Delray Beach’s Old School Square was

just one old school and Boca Ballet Theatre was preparing to raise the

curtain on its first season of performances.

“Now,” the chairman of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s

Board of Directors says, “it’s become Florida’s Cultural Capital. Now, it’s

a place with strong organizations and effective leadership.” And that, he

says, is the key to attracting new businesses, empowering area students

and fueling the economic engine of tourism. Korman also believes that

cultural opportunities are essential to personal development. “When I

was young, I was always going to museums. Even though I’m not an artist,

it taught me to think. It taught me to interpret what I saw and how it

made me feel.”

Palm Beach County and its cultural institutions have come far since

the days when private homes and one-room museums were the norm,

morphing into a powerful magnet for tourists and businesses alike with

enlightened and enlightening attractions.

When the first issue of art&culture went to print, The Full Monty,

Neil Sedaka and Michael Feinstein were season headliners at the Kravis

Center. Ten short years ago, Palm Beach Dramaworks was staging shows

in an 84-seat black box; today, the organization regularly fills the 218

seats in the beautifully renovated theater it now calls home. Since 2006,

the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium has doubled in size and

the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Jupiter has tripled its attendance.

As bright as the picture is today, 10 years from now, it will be even

brighter. A cultural revolution is on the horizon. According to a cultural

assessment recently conducted by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach

County, more than $700 million in capital expansion projects is expected

in the next ten years alone. According to Americans for the Arts, every

one of those dollars will yield a $6 to $9 return.

“There is a project in every sector of the county,” says Rena Blades,

the Cultural Council’s president and CEO, noting that audience numbers

across the county increased 10 percent between 2013 and 2014, with 3.3

million people visiting local cultural institutions in 2014. “One wonders

what that 3.3 million people will turn into in 10 years.”

The possibilities are breathtaking.

“What makes us different than any other place in the world is the

sophistication of our intuitions,” Blades says. “What we’re about here is

a high level of quality in the arts – and we’ve been that way for the past

100 years, starting with Henry Flagler.”

Painting the Picture

“I believe that cultural institutions and visual-art institutions are the

lifeblood in our community,” says Hope Alswang, executive director and

CEO of the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. “We are going

to have a much enlarged, richer, deeper tapestry of cultural institutions

in this community that will rival any mid sized city. We have a state that

is expanding exponentially and we have to keep pace with it. Standing

still means that we’ll be less important, and we won’t settle for that.”

The Norton is in the midst of a $60 million capital campaign pegged

to improve the visitor experience. In store is a 12,000-square-foot increase

in gallery space, a new state-of-the-art auditorium, dining pavilion and

9,000-square-foot sculpture garden that will include an area where

movies, evening performances and various activities can be enjoyed. The

Norton tapped architecture firm Fos-

ter + Partners, under the direction of

Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord

Norman Foster, to lead its renovation.

When the museum opens its

renovated doors at the end of 2018,

Alswang believes most people won’t

recognize it. As she puts it, the ex-

pansion “will allow us to continue the

story of art history.”

All Aboard

Lew Crampton, who began his tenure as CEO and president of the

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium five years ago, has seen the

center double in size thanks to a $7 million renovation. Crampton pushed

to provide makerspaces and add new programs focused on robotics and

computer programming. “The motivation behind this is to not have the

Science Center become a place where people come and look at science,”

he says. “We’re a place where people come to do science.”

Currently, Crampton says the Science Center serves a

community of approximately two million people, stretching

from northern Broward to as far north as Martin County. That

number is expected to skyrocket beginning in 2017, when

the Brightline passenger train will bring passengers from

across the state into the West Palm Beach station.

More projects, prospects and ideas are in the works to

engage that growing audience. Up next is a plan to expand

the museum campus to eight acres, which will allow for a new

multipurpose center for robotics and computer coding, a

full kitchen for healthy-eating tutorials, additional space for

lectures and demonstrations and a quarter-mile-long nature trail that

will wind through the property. With each addition will come new

opportunities for summer camps and educational programs.

“Edu-tainment is a phrase I use a lot to describe us,” Crampton says.

“We want our institution to deliver on both education and entertainment.

You do want to educate and inform folks, but you have to do it in a way

that picks them up from where they are and brings them along with you.”

Getting Down to Business

With all the developments in store for Palm Beach County’s cultural

community, it’s easy to imagine a colorful and entertaining future 10 years

from now – and, hopefully, you’ll be reading all about it in art&culture.

Whatever innovative, educational, entertaining and artistic develop-

ments the future holds, however, Palm Beach County Administrator Verdenia

C. Baker believes that the community’s cultural institutions will be playing a

vital role in the area’s economy.

“Palm Beach County’s growth has been inextricably linked with the de-

velopment of its cultural organizations,” Baker says. “Our future economic

growth and prosperity will also be linked. If we want to continue to encour-

age businesses to relocate or expand in our county, if we want to provide

empowering educational opportunities for our students, continue to attract

tourists and maintain our quality of life, we must support the arts and culture

in our community in a meaningful way.”

Shining the Light

President and CEO of the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Mu-

seum Jamie Stuve says, “We want an emphasis on experiential

learning. We want to somehow find a way to directly connect peo-

ple to history and nature.”

Visitors have been climbing the 105 winding steps to the top

of the lighthouse since 1860 but the need to make the lighthouse

center relevant today and in the future isn’t lost on Stuve. “When

you’re up at the lighthouse at night when the light is working, you

are a changed person,” she says. “It’s so meaningful to see these

visitors become stewards to protect not just our lighthouse and its

history, but also all the lighthouses in Florida.”

With its historic hikes around the property and inside the light-

house, kayak tours around the two rivers and even weekly yoga

classes, the lighthouse center is where history and contemporary

ideals collide. With a mission to preserve the lighthouse and the

120 acres surrounding it, as well as engage the community to be-

come stewards of history, some of the institution’s largest expan-

sion plans are on the horizon. On tap is building a replica of one of

the first U.S. Weather Bureau stations, which will serve as a science

center devoted to the weather. Scheduled for completion in three

to four years, the weather station will even include a widow’s walk

for observation purposes.

enduring art and image.

Keeping up with Andy Warhol could be

exhausting. According to Bob Colacello,

who wrote the “Out” column for Warhol’s

Interview magazine and was one of the

artist’s closest associates, he was out on

the town six nights out of seven.

Warhol undoubtedly enjoyed the nightlife but much of his nocturnal

activity actually derived from his dead-level intent on creating what

marketing gurus refer to as a brand.

“Warhol wanted to be famous. He came out of advertising. He

understood that you have to have an image and you have to promote

that image,” says Kathy Goncharov, the curator of Contemporary Art at

the Boca Raton Museum of Art, which is hosting a trio of Warhol exhibits

this season. Among them is the first museum showing of Colacello’s can-

did photographs of Warhol and friends.

Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy – which opens on Jan. 26 and

runs through May 1, along with Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers,

1949-1987 and Warhol Prints from the Collection of Marc Bell – provides

granular documentation of Warhol’s fixation on fame.

“It was easier for my column to take my own pictures,” Colacello

says. “I didn’t look like a photographer, so people didn’t freeze up or

pose. Andy took a hundred pictures to every ten that I took. The more

people he saw, the more chance he had of selling a painting. It was re-

lentless and it was work. Andy was driven. His ambition was limitless and

so was his curiosity.”

The photographs, which were taken with a diminutive Minox on

35mm film, reveal that Warhol’s world was oddly egalitarian given the

artist’s preoccupation with celebrity. It didn’t matter whether he was hob-

nobbing with Mick Jagger, a ’40s movie queen like Paulette Goddard or

one of the Warhol superstars who simply strove to imitate ’40s movie

queens. They were all equal in Warhol’s eyes. He understood that Elvis

and Marilyn and a host of other celebrities had ascended to the realm of

secular saints – objects of worship.

“The common denominator was glamour. To Andy, everybody was

interesting and it followed that he tried to convince himself that everyone

was beautiful,” Colacello says. “I think that in his childish way, he asked

the big questions.”

Colacello never saw Warhol without the incongruous white wig that

made him look like a downtown version of Ray Bolger’s straw-stuffed

Scarecrow. Once or twice they were in a car when the wind would lift

the wig off Warhol’s head and Colacello saw the bobby pins that fas-

tened it to Warhol’s ring of black hair.

Now that Warhol is comfortably ensconced in the hierarchy of 20th-

century art, it’s more important than ever to emphasize his status as an

outsider in his own time. He was influenced by Duchamps and by overtly

gay artists such as Jean Cocteau and Andre Gide, who were never com-

pletely accepted by the Academy. He had a highly developed sense of

irony and an appreciation of camp, in direct opposition to the art world

of the 1950s, which was mired in abstract expressionism and tended to-

ward the straight.

Marc Bell, whose collection of Warhol’s silkscreen suites is also on dis-

play at the museum, is an engineer by training, an entrepreneur by incli-

nation. He didn’t start out collecting Warhol, but rather M.C. Escher. When

he was in high school, he had a print of Escher’s mind-bending staircase

above his desk. When the original came up for auction 20 years later, he

couldn’t resist. That initial Escher led to dozens more in the artist’s trade-

mark monochromatic style. Eventually, all the gray began to get to Bell.

Some color was needed, which led him to Warhol – and a realization.

Escher gave him a sense of wonder but Warhol, he says, “put a

smile on my face.”

Today, color is not a problem for Bell. His house is decorated in

Warhol. The collection has appreciated nicely but that’s not why Bell

continues to invest in the artist. “Some stuff is worth ten times what

I’ve paid for it but I’m not looking to sell. These pieces are part of my

idea of how to live,” he says. “You only live once, so you should enjoy

every day. Warhol helps me do that.”

Warhol himself couldn’t have predicted the overall escalation of

prices in the art world since his unexpected death following routine gall

bladder surgery in 1987 but, Colacello feels sure he would take great

satisfaction in knowing that his work is going for much higher prices

than Frank Stella or Jasper Johns, artists who once looked down their

noses at him. “They thought Andy was just a throw-off from the fash-

ion business,” Colacello says. “They didn’t get it.”

And Warhol, apparently, wasn’t going to explain. The flamboyant

figure was reluctant to talk about his work, Colacello says; he thought

artists who expounded about their ambition and what they were trying

to achieve were terminally uncool. In line with that, he never hung one

of his own pieces at home.

“In his mind, Andy was competing with Picasso,” Colacello says. “He

wanted to be as influential in the second half of the century as Picasso

was in the first half, and that’s pretty much how it worked out.”

Hat TrickThe Boca Raton Museum of Art presents a trio of Warhol

exhibitions Jan. 26 – May 1.

Bob Colacello: In and Out with AndyAs a fixture of the wild, glamorous, disco-and-drugs-driven

world of Andy Warhol, Bob Colacello was perfectly positioned to

record the frenetic pace of the '70s-era Factory scene. This first

major museum exhibition of Colacello’s candid photos includes

vintage prints and selections from his book, OUT.

Warhol Prints from the Collection of Marc BellThe complete silkscreen suites from the collection of Marc

Bell include the iconic Campbell’s Soup Cans, images of Liz Tay-

lor, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and Mao as well as Warhol’s Flow-

ers, Dollar Signs, and Camouflage.

Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, 1949-1987Over the course of his career, Andy Warhol designed 60

album covers for an extremely diverse assortment of recordings,

ranging from Tchaikovsky and Gershwin to the Rolling Stones

and Velvet Underground. This exhibition organized by the Cran-

brook Art Museum includes more than 100 album covers, wall-

paper, video and sound.

Not enough? An intriguing lineup of events will be pre-

sented in association with the exhibitions – including presenta-

tions by Bob Colacello, Eric Shiner, director of the Warhol

Museum, and Laura Mott, curator of Warhol on Vinyl. There will

also be a silk screening party with artists Debbie Carfagno and

Michael Enns, who worked with Warhol at the Factory, and an

evening of music in the museum, featuring DJ Luis Mario,

who will select a playlist from albums in the show. Visit

BocaMuseum.org for details.

The Art of Dr. Seuss InvadesThe Gardens Mall

Whimsy, wonder and a wee bit of weirdness still

swirl around the beloved genius known as Dr. Seuss.

A quarter century after Theodor “Ted” Geisel’s

death, the artist and author best known for his

colorful collection of children’s books lives on

in an exhibition titled Ann Jackson Gallery Presents

the Art of Dr. Seuss at The Gardens Mall.

exhibition, which runs Jan. 17 through Feb. 14, not only offers

iconic illustrations of Cat in the Hat, Horton and Sam-I-Am but also lesser-known bronze

sculptures, oil paintings and taxidermic creations. The 141 pieces on display represent

the first free-to-the-public showing of Geisel’s fascinating body of work.

The fun factor will hit the roof of the mall’s Grand Court every Saturday and Sunday

during the exhibition as Maltz Jupiter Theatre Youth Performers will present a 20-minute

showcase from Seussical, the Broadway musical based on Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hears

a Who, The Cat in the Hat and other stories.

“The stories just come to life,” says Andrew Kato, producing artistic director and chief ex-

ecutive of the Maltz, which plans to present a full-length version of Seussical in June as part of

its summer student series. “It’s very immersive, very environmental. It sort of has a flash-mob ele-

ment to it.”

Topsy-turvy shapes and larger-than-life sizes combine to form a Seuss-inspired set specially de-

signed by the Maltz and local production guru Paul Tate dePoo III. A curved, three-armed stage will

serve as the centerpiece for a series of 16-foot-high walls built to house the artwork. The Maltz’s Brian

Andrews choreographed each of the six songs on the bill; resident sound designer Marty Mets

handled the acoustics.

Young singers and dancers will move across the imaginative set dressed in equally imaginative

costumes conceived by sartorial standout Jenna Hoefert. Hoefert tailored 14 original outfits inspired by

the fantasy-like creatures inhabiting Whoville. “The Who characters were, as I say, one bubble off plum,”

she says. “They had odd colors, hair tufts, a sort of shagginess, you might say.”

Hoefert describes her completed wardrobe as a cross between Judy Jetson and Madonna.

“If that conjures up something fun, it should,” she says. “It will look kind of edgy.”

Hoefert says the fact that the performances are taking place in the mall played

a part in her project and resulted in the decision to don each child in an article of

clothing that could be purchased at one of the Palm Beach Gardens retail desti-

nation’s 160 stores. “A classic, little-girl party dress, boy’s overalls, a tuxedo,

Converse tennis shoes,” she says. “That is my homage to the mall.”

“This is a huge coup for the mall,” says Michele

Jacobs, corporate director of marketing and opera-

tions for The Forbes Company, which owns the mall.

“[The exhibition has] been in museums. It’s been in art

galleries. But it’s never been curated in this form. It’s just

something that hasn’t been done before.”

“Basically, what we wanted to do is support the mall

and the Cultural Council by bringing a live component to

the event,” Kato says. “The notion of collaboration be-

tween a mall and two arts organizations to create some-

thing beautiful I, personally, think is really amazing.

Whenever you have a public and private sector come

together, it’s just a good, synergistic relationship.”

Twenty percent of the proceeds from sales of the

limited edition works featured in the exhibi-

tion will go to the Cultural Council of Palm

Beach County. The organization also will re-

ceive 100 percent of the proceeds from a pre-

view party kicking off the show. “The Cultural

Council seemed like the perfect fit,” Jacobs says. Funds will help support

the nonprofit’s mission of providing arts education to students, scholarships

to summer camps and services to local artists.

“We have such a great relationship with The Gardens Mall,” says Mary

Lewis, the Cultural Council’s development director. “We are so excited

about the opportunity to collaborate with them and with the Maltz on such

a fabulous undertaking. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring the

wonderful work of Dr. Seuss to Palm Beach County. I think it’s going to be

really fun to see.”

From there to here,and here to there,funny thingsare everywhere.

–Dr. Seuss

PotterThe

Dodie Thayer’s gloriously green lettuce ware lures collectors to the table

Dodie Thayer’s iconic lettuce ware pottery is

irresistibly green; the delicate veins of the leaves show

through on each plate, cup, saucer and tureen.

The dinnerware – made by hand at Thayer’s Jupiter

home – began appearing on the tables of notable Palm

Beachers, including C.Z. Guest and Jacqueline

Kennedy Onassis, in the 1960s. Even the duchess of

Windsor collected lettuce ware.

Would it have been as popular if collectors knew it might more ap-

propriately be called cabbage ware?

According to Thayer’s niece by marriage, Kathy Kindt, also of Jupiter,

Thayer used cabbage leaves as the basis for her art because lettuce

leaves were too flimsy. “She took a [cabbage] leaf and pressed it into a

slab of clay, fired it into the kiln and that became her mold,” Kindt ex-

plains. “She had all different sizes of these leaves. She had stacks of these

on the walls and that’s what she used.”

Thayer – who still lives in Jupiter, near the Loxahatchee River –

stopped making the iconic pottery about 10 years ago, but now, thanks

to a collaboration with designer Tory Burch, a new generation of collec-

tors is developing a taste for the gloriously green dinnerware.

“I have always admired Dodie Thayer’s lettuce ware – each piece is

truly a work of art. I was honored when she agreed to collaborate with us

on a pottery collection and working with her has been an incredible ex-

perience,” Burch said in a statement when the new collection was

launched in the spring of 2015.

Burch, drawn to Thayer’s particular shade of green, began collecting

lettuce ware years ago. “Dodie Thayer is a true American artisan,” she says.

“And her story is remarkable: Her ancestors helped settle Palm Beach

[County], Florida, where she taught herself how to mold pottery from let-

tuce and cabbage leaves, creating a range of tureens, plates and objets

through trial and error. A lot of trial and error, to hear her tell it.”

The daughter of Palm Beach County pioneers Bessie and John Dubois,

Thayer grew up along the shores of the Jupiter Inlet, studied home ec in

college and always wanted to be an artist. She would spend hour after hour

in the studio of her Jupiter home working

with the clay. “Her window looked out on

the beautiful river and she had her classical

music and that was it. She was happy,”

says Kindt, who worked with Thayer in the

studio in the 1990s, a time when the artist

was making many of her most delicate

and detailed pieces. “She did it for the

love of it. She didn’t really want fame

and fortune. It was all the joy of life.

She’s just a sweet, sweet lady.”

And an accomplished artist.

“Her whole technique is very

difficult because you have to

have such knowledge of clay.

Too wet, it will collapse. Too dry,

it would just break off to the

touch. She just knew,” Kindt

says.


Thayer had five children but her

nurturing was not reserved solely for

them. Sometimes she would mother a

cup or plate or tureen during the devel-

opment process. “She talked to them like

they were children,” Kindt says. “All the

time, she was playing classical music. She is

a very accomplished piano player as well.”

“Each piece was a labor of extraordi-

nary love – two weeks start to finish,”

Burch reported. “Every Thursday night,

she would glaze a set of pieces, which

would dry by morning. On Fridays, she

would drive them into Palm Beach to

the boutique Au Bon Gout, through

which she would sell. Afterwards,

she would have a wonder-

ful lunch with friends

at Ta-boo.”

Juno Beach resident Kelly Rooney, who sits on the board of directors

for the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, began her collection of

lettuce ware about six years ago after reading a newspaper article about

Thayer. She was intrigued – not only because Thayer was a local artist,

but also because her work was hard to find. “When something’s a chal-

lenge, I won’t let that stop me,” Rooney says. “The color of them is so

happy. To me, they’re very Palm Beach. They’re frilly. It’s something that

you don’t need but you have to have.”

“There’s almost a mythology built up around Dodie Thayer lettuce

ware,” Burch says. “When it does come up at auction, it is gone within

minutes. It’s rare. And people who collect it… understand that each piece

is unique.” Prior to the launch of the “Dodie Thayer for Tory Burch” col-

lection, the artist had never authorized reproductions.

Rooney’s first purchase, an absentee bid at an auction house in New

York, provided a huge windfall. “Somehow I lucked out – 96 pieces and

two tureens!” Rooney recalls. “They’re very bright green. They really, re-

ally stand out!” She’s been hungry for more, picking up pieces here and

there, ever since. “I kept obsessing over it.”

In addition to vibrant green lettuce ware, Rooney now has red, or-

ange, yellow, and pink hibiscus bowls, pineapple vases, pelicans, a shell

dinner plate, a trinket box, plus an asparagus holder made to look like

an asparagus – all by Thayer. “She did a lot of custom orders,” she says.

Rooney’s collection, which now exceeds 200 pieces, will be on dis-

play in the North Gallery at the Cultural Council’s Lake Worth headquar-

ters from Feb. 20 to April 2, 2016.

“I have always admired Dodie Thayer’s

lettuce ware – each piece is truly

a work of art.”

ne of the best things about a good hotel – as anyone who’s

ever stayed in one knows – is the helpful concierge, a person

who seems to know exactly what you want and has the ability

to make it happen. The service is so invaluable that you leave

wondering why only hotels have concierges.

Well, Palm Beach County now has one.

The cultural concierge debuted in November, the brain-

child of Marilyn Bauer, director of marketing and government

affairs at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. Bauer

wanted to provide “a service at a level that is unheard of in

our modern age” – at least in realms larger than lodgings. In

the process, she thought back to her days as a travel writer.

“When you go to a destination as a travel writer,” she says, “you have

unprecedented access to people, places and experiences that the aver-

age traveler doesn’t have.” Why not, she wondered, get someone who

has a vast knowledge of the region and its cultural activities to assist

tourists when they come here?

She found a person who could do just that: Bama Lutes Deal, Ph.D.,

a musicologist and a member of Americans for the Arts. “I enjoy cultural

connections,” Deal says.

As cultural concierge, she works directly with consumers. “Your

mother up in the Northeast,” explains Bauer, “can call down here and talk

to the cultural concierge and say, ‘I really love theater; I’m interested in

seeing some theater when I come down.’ And Bama would say, ‘Oh, you

might enjoy Palm Beach Dramaworks, which happens to be one of the

five best theaters in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal.’

She would then arrange that when your mother went to the theater, the

house manager would come out and greet her by name and escort her

to her seat – which would be upgraded, if possible, at no extra charge.”

The cultural concierge also works with her concierge counterparts at

The Breakers, Four Seasons, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, PGA National

Resort & Spa and Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa.

(The list may grow.)

“They have the best of the best in the concierge business,” Bauer

says, but adds that their concierges are very busy, especially in the winter.

And, says Deal, they tend to talk about what they know best – which

may not be opera or the visual arts. “The educator in me,” she says,

“loves talking to concierges and informing them about what’s available.”

Her help can be as simple as telling a concierge what the hot tickets

are this season. In fact, every week Deal creates a hot-tickets list of

EAU Palm Beach Resort & Spa

Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach

art&culture | 65

approximately 10 events that goes directly to the hotels. The concierges

there can print it out and give it to guests. The list is also available on the

cultural concierge’s website at palmbeachculture.com/concierge.

If it’s something more complicated, the concierge can hand the guest

over to Deal, who can create a customized experience. Bauer gives, as

an example, a hotel guest who expresses an interest in photography. Deal

could not only recommend an exhibition but also create a personalized

tour of it. “Or,” says Bauer, “she could also hook this person up with a

nature photographer who would take that person on a nature safari to

get photographs of the inlet or some of the pristine scenes at MacArthur

Beach State Park.”

Most people experience art passively – listening to music, looking at pic-

tures – and it is this active, participatory aspect of the program that will appeal

to many visitors. Bauer notes that one of the partners is Boca Ballet Theatre,

which has a school where visitors can arrange to take private classes.

“Another part of this is meet-and-greet with the talent,” she says. “If

a group is here and they want to see a performance, we can arrange for

them to go backstage and meet the performers or have a champagne

toast before the performance.”

The third main focus for the cultural concierge involves working with

arts organizations and partnering with sister agencies.

“Bama has really opened the door for us,” says Joanne Polin, who

handles public relations for Festival of the Arts BOCA, which in March is

bringing in Joshua Bell, Fareed Zakaria and Herb Alpert, among others.

“It helps us with supporters and it helps us sell tickets.”

Deal also coordinates with the Palm Beach County Sports Commis-

sion and the Palm Beach County Convention Center, creating cultural pro-

grams for spouses, family members or other traveling companions who

may not want to attend all the various tournaments, sporting events, con-

ferences and meetings that attract their loved ones.

A cultural concierge seems like the perfect idea for any metropolitan

area, yet Palm Beach County’s is the first in the world. Its usefulness

appears obvious in a county that is the size of Delaware and whose

Cultural Council has, according to Bauer, “200 arts organization members

that put on 42,000 arts events a year.”

And now there’s someone to guide visitors to them.

“It’s helpful to have one place to go to get so many things,” says

Deal, adding: “I’m a humanistic scholar. I’m interested in the role of the

arts in human experience. They add something intangible but also so

wonderful.”

Co-Chairs:

Roe Green and Christine Stiller

Producer: Andrew Kato

The Muse Awards honor outstanding

individuals and organizations for their

contributions to art and culture in

Palm Beach County. This year’s theme

– “Everything Old Is New Again” – will

reflect on the evolution of Palm Beach

County’s artistic and cultural heritage

from the 1900s to the present and

explore how art forms have been

influenced by the changing times.

MUSE SPOTLIGHTWith a four-octave range that floats effortlessly from

Cole Porter to Stevie Wonder and on to Joabim, Raquel

Williams will bring an eclectic mix of American, Latin

and Caribbean songs to the Muse stage. The dynamic

performer, who hails from Port Antonio, Jamaica, cred-

its Roberta Flack as her greatest influence. When she’s

not traveling the world, headlining at five-star hotels

and venues from Hong Kong to London, she enjoys

time at home in Palm Beach, where she has developed

a large following based on her mastery of the Ameri-

can Songbook as well as the songs of Diana Ross, Ella

Fitzgerald and more.
