Letter from the Editor

MIAD Bridge is all about the community of the Milwaukee Institute

of Art and Design reaching out to the community around them, locally,

nationally, and even worldly. Current students, alumni and even faculty all

put time and effort into doing good for mankind. Whether it is volunteering

for service learning, donating art and skills, or just their time to others in

need, the MIAD community is known for lending out help and service

whether asked for or not.

As artists and designers we have a unique gift to create what many cannot.

We are able to find ways to put it to good for others in need. This issue of

MIAD Bridge is about creating for a community and the common good.

Artists and designers doing what they know best to better the world.

I invite you to enjoy the “created” aesthetic feel of this issue, as well to

look into what you can create for your community. No matter how big or

small, we all have something to offer.

MIAD SPRING BREAK - Habitat for Humanity Trip -A group of MIAD students taking their time off to help others.

Written by Renae Bastar and Photography by Alec Regan

Students always look forward to vacations during the school year, and one of the most popular is spring break. The majority of people would think the vocabulary for “spring break” includes; beaches, sun, relaxing, suntan, drinks, and partying. For a group of MIAD students who volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, spring break has a little different definition than its typical understanding. This group of student’s main goal of their vacation is to help people in need build a place called home.

The first MIAD Spring Break Habitat for Humanity trip took place in 2008, and has been going strong ever since. That group of students took a road trip to the Smokey Mountains of Oakridge, Tennessee. Since then students have also traveled out west to Cody, Wyoming in 2009, and the latest group of students traveled to the “birthplace of blues” Tutwiler, Mississippi in 2010. It all started when a group of six students from MIAD wanted to travel somewhere for spring break, but wanted to do more

6 MIAD BRIDGE FALL 2010 MIAD BRIDGE FALL 2010 7

then satisfy themselves with a week off from school. They all decided they wanted to volunteer for a week in an area that wasn’t familiar to them, where they could learn new things. Habitat for Humanity came to mind, because of their wide range of locations and their renowned efforts to create simple, decent, and affordable housing for people in need. This opportunity would not only broaden the MIAD community and skills of the students, but also knowledge of the area and understanding of volunteer work. Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization that is located throughout the world. Devoted to building housing for families in need. All houses are built by volunteers and are sold at no profit. The qualifications for ownership of the houses are based on the families need, their ability to pay an affordable mortgage, and willingness to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity in the future.

During the Habitat for Humanity trips MIAD students get the experience of building a house, and how fast and easy it can be if many people are willing to join in on the fun. Some tasks students have learned during their time volunteering for Habitat include, the basics of construction, creating a foundation, installing roofing, siding, windows, flooring, cabinets, lighting, dry wall, plastering, painting, and landscaping. All of these volunteer efforts have helped people who had very poor living conditions. They are now able to enjoy a nice, warm, money conscious place called home. Having been a part of the first MIAD Habitat for Humanity trip, I learned so much from the experience. Being on site and learning from professionals the reasoning and techniques involved in creating a sound structure was exciting. The crew leaders who run the show at the construction site don’t hesitate to help explain how to do a job if anyone is confused. On site

there were many laughs that made every work day go by fast. During time off from volunteering we were able to discover the area and community near the Habitat for Humanity site. On the 2008 trip we were able to go hiking in the Smokey Mountains, and venture into the surrounding towns. It was to fun to travel to a different part of the United States, and to talk to people from the area. Through the spring break trip I met new people and have stronger relationships with my fellow MIAD classmates that I took the journey with. The trip was a learning experience for myself as well as everyone involved in the effort. The greatest satisfaction during the trip I partook in was meeting the woman who we were building the house for. She drove up to the mountain every day to thank the volunteers and to see the process of what was soon to be her new house. The woman described the current living conditions her family is living in, which made for a very emotional event. Walking her

into the house every day to show her what we’ve been working on was very rewarding. Everyone could tell how excited she was for the future that was in store for her. Witnessing this event made the trip that much better. I felt like I had accomplished something that spring break, knowing I played a small part in making someone’s dream come true. Spring break will be here before you know it! What better way is there to spend it than volunteering your time for the better of someone else? Get your work boots and hard hat on this spring break!

ilwaukee is lucky to have an artist residency, exhibition space, and print shop all in one building. The RedLine Milwaukee is a non-profit organization that encourages and helps keep alive contemporary art and creative freedom in Milwaukee. Located on 1422 4th Street, RedLine can house up to 12 artist residents, has an exhibition hall, a well-equipped print shop, and space for education programs. Steve Vande Zande and Lori Baumen helped found the RedLine to give Milwaukee a place to create, talk, explore, learn, and help others enjoy and experience art. RedLine is possible through numerous volunteers, mentors, educators, and very talented people who love to share art.

They fund their programs and equipment through donations and also membership fees. The residents also pay a small fee for studio space. Artist residencies occur at the RedLine building where apartments and studio space are included in the building. The artists bring a wide range of talents and techniques that can be shared with students and other artists. This enriches the art culture and experience in Milwaukee to bring in diverse, fresh viewpoints from outside the area. The resident artists help mentor teens and also perform two hours of community service each week. They are required to do 10 hours of work in their studio a week and also mentor and learn from other artists while in their residency,

which usually lasts for two to three years. International as well as national artists are welcome and there is no limit to what medium they can work in. Artists usually apply for the residency and an outside judging panel picks several artists and interviews are conducted to make the final decision. The artists’ studios have no doors, so while walking through the building the community can see more of the process and how and where the artwork happens. Having no doors also encourages a community with in RedLine and forms relationships with other artists also in residence. RedLine has it’s own gallery space in their building and wants their exhibits to reach beyond the audience of artists

m

MIAD BRIDGE FALL 201014

and critics. They have four exhibits a year including an international artist, national artist, as well as the artist residents. It’s great to walk through the building and see the artwork from start to finish. This type of experience separates the RedLine gallery from other galleries. Steve and Lori are at the head of the education programs and teach some of them at the Milwaukee Art Museum. This unique kind of program creates a positive and encouraging outlet for kids who may be interested or intrigued by art. Over 1,000 hours of outreach and education have been organized and funded for this year, which is a great accomplishment

when art is one of the first departments to feel the affects of budget cuts in schools; this unique program is needed so that kids can be exposed to where art can take them. The RedLine recently added a Mac lab and would also like to incorporate video and animation programs as well. The RedLine understands that new media and technology is important to learn as well as the traditional art mediums. The print shop offers intaglio, callograph, relief, monoprint, silkscreen and photolithography. To have a studio with this variety of printmaking techniques helps encourage and continue the printmaking community that is often found in college

arts. The print shop is managed by MIAD alum, Kari Couture and Kim Weiss. Both artists have been planning and hoping for an opportunity to start a communal print shop because most printmaking techniques are expensive and need a lot of space, so most printmaking artists have a hard time obtaining equipment. The print shop has open studio times as well as classes in case students or adults have never printed before. RedLine has also started recruiting executives to join in on the classes offered so they can learn the creative process and hopefully take some ideas back to their profession. It also helps diversify their

knowledge and maybe think outside the box more. Lori Bauman explains that artists are used to being out of the normal comfort level because we are always taking risks and trying new things in our work. It’s also interesting to see what other students or mentors can learn from the executives. The RedLine Milwaukee has made emerging artists and mid-career artists the core of the their focus. These artists often need a support system and encouragement to help them grow and evolve. The RedLine also offers them exposure by displaying their works in the gallery space or even having members of

the community walk by and ask questions. Breaking into the professional art world can be intimidating and frightening, but by having a supportive group of fellow artists can help create connections and relationships that make things easier. The RedLine has shown how art can impact and add to a community. This community of artists and students will hopefully grow in the future and maybe MIAD alum or students can help expose RedLine and its great opportunities.
