continue Mr. Newman’s legacy of providing quality arts education to the community. We will announce a major gift to the school, which will help expand our scholarship and outreach programs to serve more youth, families, and public school teachers.

Last fall, we hosted our first-ever faculty day, wel-coming 55 arts faculty from colleges and universities throughout West Michigan. We shared meaningful conversation about how both the museum and the art school can collaborate with them to propel area students toward greater success in the arts.

We had a marvelous partnership with the K-Wings Hockey Team for “ Kids Paint the Ice” in early January. Families and kids associated with both organizations came out to create a big, frosty work of art that the team played hockey on the following weekend.

We are one, the museum and school, as the Kalama-zoo Institute of Arts. We are one with the community, united in enriching the lives of others and creating more arts learning opportunities in West Michigan.

NEWS AND NOTES

spring 2015 | page 3

Local Artists Complete “Touch Art” SculpturesWe added two sculptures by area artists to our collection in December. Designed for the experience of blind and visually im-paired patrons, they were funded by a grant from the Michigan Braille Transcribing Fund and crafted by artists Paul Ponchillia and Steve Curl. The KIA has offered a special tour program for visually impaired guests since 2011, developed with members of Kalamazoo ‘s visually impaired community. More than 150 visitors have participated in the program.

Spotlight: Jerre JamesA devoted student of the KIA art classes since the early 1960s, Jerre James trained as a ballet dancer, performed on big city stages, and opened a Kalamazoo dance school. Perhaps her love of the arts is in her DNA, since her uncle, Robert Paul Locke, was the first president of the KIA, “back when it was in a house.”

We are grateful to Jerre for a generous $50,000 gift to support museum education, which is very close to her heart. A docent for 20 years, her passion continues for the work. “It’s about helping guests understand how to engage with art. ‘What do you see?’ ‘What do you feel?’”

“I’ll never forget a high school student, after guiding a Chihuly tour years ago,” she recalls. “I overheard him in the hallway, and he said, ‘That was the most wonderful thing! I had no idea what art was about or what you could do with glass.’ He had been totally sober going in, but he was so excited afterwards. That kind of thing makes you feel like you’ve accomplished what you set out to do.”

Join us! ARTventureMay 20, 8 am – 6 pmAn art-filled day trip to two Michigan museums will take us by coach to Flint and East Lansing. We’ll enjoy Beauty, Passion, and Bliss: 19th Century Masterworks from the Dahesh Museum of Art at the Flint Institute of Arts (and a gourmet box lunch) before heading to the ultra-contemporary Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum in East Lansing. KIA Members: $60, Guests: $70. RSVP by May 1 to Jay Simon: (269) 585-9279 or [email protected].

Chinese Folk Pottery: The Art of the Everyday March 14 – June 21

As China continues its headlong rush into modernization, the traditional techniques and practice of crafting folk pottery are in danger. The curators of Chinese Folk Pottery traveled to China to collect regional examples of decorative or utilitarian folk ware. They discovered that while some qualities and techniques are widespread across China, others are localized to specific ethnic communities or regions. The collection includes ceramics by Tibetan, Dai, Miao, Bai, and Han potters, which provide a rare glimpse of the diversity and rich tradition in Chinese folk pottery. This exhibition was organized and curated by Marie Woo, Susanne Stephenson, and John Stephenson.

Collection HighlightsIn honor of Black History Month (February) and Women’s History Month (March), we offer works by Renée Stout.

Some artists create imaginary portraits that correspond to their personal impression of a person. Such works often emphasize the subject’s symbolic significance. Famous for her beauty and occult powers, Marie Laveau was a Voodoo priestess who captivated New Orleans in the 1800s. Renée Stout evokes Laveau’s mesmerizing presence through such details as the snake mysteriously emerging from her hair. As a way of personally identifying with the Voodoo queen, the artist uses her own likeness – which you can see in her self-portrait at left.
