SUMMARY:Paintings by Charles Allen LaRue: Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Paintings by Charles Allen LaRue\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022.\nCharles is a Michigan native and it is from the Great Lakes State that he derives much of his inspiration for his colorful interpretations of the structures and organic forms that he depicts. \nHe had drawn pictures since he was old enough to grasp a pencil in his fist\, and sought a way of doing something with his love of picture- making. So upon high school graduation he moved from South Haven to Grand Rapids to attend the Kendall College of Art and Design\, graduating with an Illustration major. Charles freelanced and did in-house work as an illustrator. \nCharles had three pivotal experiences that collectively catapulted him into going headlong into pure Fine Arts painting. He spent a summer in France where he studied informally and steeped himself in the paintings and scenery of what he had previously known only through reproductions in art books. He began seeing light and colors more robustly in everything. When Charles returned to Grand Rapids with a new vision and essentially truly beheld GR’s Heritage Hill area for the first time he saw the neighborhood as a shapescape\, with clustered architectonic geometries\, as he had been sensitized to in Paris. The colors flooded in for him that had been pale in comparison to his older work. \nLater\, Charles moved from purely geometrized patterns all coalescing\, into paintings that allowed more atmosphere and fluid\, organic elements. But he still paints in the manner of a craftsman; feeling as though he is assembling discrete units of colored materials into a gestalt image. Charles maintains a studio in Grand Rapids and can be seen frequently in the city\, carrying a sketchbook to record more potential painting inspirations. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

The strategy of the game changes as each player\, the artist or the work\, makes a move or inspires the other.” \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:Hot Wax: The Art of Batik and Pysanky Artwork by Lara Cummings and Dena DeKryger
DESCRIPTION:March 23 – April 27\nHot Wax: The Art of Batik and Pysanky\nArtwork by Lara Cummings and Dena DeKryger\nDemonstration Thursday\, April 25\, 5:30-7:00\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022. \nThe use of wax in fine art has thousands of years of history in art forms such as batik and pysanky. This exhibit features two local artists\, Lara Cummings’ Pysanky egg design and Dena DeKryger’s batik paintings. \nLara Cummings is a former Jansma Scholarship recipient and has explored many fine art mediums. Her love of Pysanky eggs comes from a family heritage tradition that she decided to explore and excel at. Pysanka is a Ukrainian Easter egg\, decorated with traditional Ukrainian folk designs using a wax-resist method. \nDena DeKryger states “For me\, the art of batik encompasses boldness\, serendipity\, individuality\, and memory. Each decision that goes into making a batik must be bold because that decision cannot be reversed or amended. Once the wax hits the muslin\, the color of the fabric beneath the wax is defined.” \nOn Thursday\, April 25\, enjoy free demonstrations in Batik by Kris Vredeveld\, and Pysanky by Lindsay Isenhart. Try your hand at these traditional wax and dye art techniques. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA Exhibit - January 4 - February 2  Malia Rae Photography from the Heart
DESCRIPTION:January 4 – February 2 \nMalia Rae\nPhotography from the Heart\nReception: Thursday\, January 24\, 6:00-7:30 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, \n13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022. \nThis exhibit features a series of photographs by Malia Rae\, printed on metal\, with all containing the motif of a heart found in nature. \nArtist Statement: It began with the concept “What you look for in life you find.” I went to Mother Nature to soothe my soul. She responded with an abundance of Love – manifesting in the symbolic shape of a heart. With camera as my witness\, I have been documenting the evidence of my many findings on this journey. Mother Nature has given me the greatest gifts I never would have thought to ask for. With these hearts She has taught me about transformation; turning betrayal into trust\, heartbreak into love\, confusion into clarity\, and pain into purpose. Maybe this is true alchemy? I am beginning to think the universal elixir is love\, and love is gold. \nI continue to return to nature as a ritual of remembering to return to Love. This has become a practice of exploration and discovery\, awakening to a new landscape of possibility. My passion in art\, and life\, is to connect with other hearts and share Love that uplifts and inspires as we awaken within. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

I have fished and painted my way through this life. I am showing a series of paintings\, drawings and monotype prints along the themes of shanty fishing and rural life\,” states Johnson. \n“In both Minnesota and Michigan people go out to winter fish in hand built shanties. They are portable and could move from spot to best spot on a lake or river. I have fished and painted this way. In the warm shanty small color studies can be started and then often finished in my studio where sometimes they are developed into larger canvases. These fishing shanty towns often develop into small cultures or communities\, metaphors for life.” \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: 21st Century Arts & Crafts  Movement
DESCRIPTION:21st Century Arts & Crafts Movement\nJuly 11 through August 7\, 2018\nPublic Reception/Demonstrations\nAugust 4\, 10:00 a.m.-Noon\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022. \nThe 1880-1920 Arts and Crafts Movement was a critique of industrial society\, the modern factory\, the use of machinery and the loss of traditional craft methods. The Arts and Crafts forefathers thought that a healthy and moral society required independent workers who designed the things they made. \nToday in addition to the result of the industrial revolution\, we have the technological revolution. Objects are made on assembly lines\, of which the worker is one more step removed from the process by automated assembly\, and computerized manipulation\, like that of the 3D printer. The loss of traditional craft methods is concerning. \nThis exhibit is curated to bring to the forefront traditional art forms\, hand made craftsmanship\, and hopefully to pass on those traditions to the next generation. Learn about fine blacksmithing\, woodworking\, fiber arts\, book binding\, print making and other hand made fine arts. \nContact isenhartl@live.com if you are interested in participating. \n  \nFeatured image detail by Manuel Vermeire. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: Judith Tummino - SOJOURN: Paintings of Michigan and the Chesapeake Bay
DESCRIPTION:June 5 through July 7\nJudith Tummino – SOJOURN\nPaintings of Michigan and the Chesapeake Bay\nReception June 21\, 5:30-7:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022.  \n\nJudith Tummino has often stated that her first year of study in Italy was a life changing event.\n“I fell in love with the light\, the art\, the people.”\nShe felt so strongly that she returned to Umbria about 9 times in 8 years. \n“Studying with teaching artists such as Lennart Anderson\, Israel Hershberg\, Nick Carone\,\nDan Gustin and William Bailey contributed to my knowledge of art and the formation of what and how I wanted to paint.” \nBorn in Washington D. C. and raised in Maryland\, Judith received exposure to the many art museums and galleries. Travels to the Chesapeake Bay and the Shenandoah Valley instilled the love of the landscape as well as the sense of the untouched beauty of the land. \n“My appreciation of the moment is central to my work. I find that as my painting evolves I become sensitive to both the change of the conditions I am painting as well as to the changes on my pallette and painting surface. It is this transformation that keeps me coming back to the painted experience. It never loses its interest for me”. \nJudith has exhibited widely in the United States as well as in Italy. Her first experience showing in New York came when she was accepted into a show juried by Phillip Pearlstein. She showed her work in the Chelsea district of New York for about four years. During that time she painted at the Chesapeake Bay in addition to many places in Michigan that she now called home. \nHer work is included in the collections of the Kalamazoo Institute of Art\, Grand Valley State University\, the Dennos Museum Center\, and in Chestnut Cabin and Museum of Port Republic Maryland. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: Painting of Madelon Gorsky February 1 through 26
DESCRIPTION:Madelon Gorsky – February 1 through 26\nPublic Reception February 24\, 12:00 – 2:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, \n13 E. Main St.\, Fremont.\nBorn in Ohio\, Madelon was raised and spent her adult years moving around the Midwest\, Northeast and the South; from Chicago\, St.Louis\, Portland Maine\, Indianapolis and cities in between. She now resides in Newaygo County. Many educational opportunities plus a successful career in retail visual merchandising designing and creating displays gave her the foundation and opportunity to learn the basics of composition\, color\, textures\, movement\, and light. Madelon now has focused her creative energy with colorful acrylic paint with a hint of mixed media on canvas. This modernist is willing in her compositions to bend\, reshape and even distort her subjects in an on going effort to create depth and perspective without sacrificing the purity and brightness of her colors. Her goal is to always bring a smile and a little thought to the viewer. Madelon’s work has been viewed in galleries and seasoned shows and in many private and corporate collections from coast  to coast throughout the United States and Canada. \n“I have a passion for all forms of art. I enjoy bringing ease and comfort to my surroundings. I have been a people watcher as long as I can remember. Everyday people of all shapes and sizes inspire me\, from the curves of the figure to the expressive eyes and lips of the face. My work expresses my fascination of people not controversy\, chaos or hidden meaning. I try to generate something positive with my work and leave the negatives behind. For me it’s simply about putting the paint on the canvas\, I enjoy doing just that. I then share it and try to bring a little joy in this complicated uncertain world\,” states Gorsky. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:Stacy Niedzwiecki: What Fifty Looks Like
DESCRIPTION:Stacy Niedzwiecki: What Fifty Looks Like\nJanuary 3 – 28\nFree Public Reception January 25\, 5:30-7:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont. \nWhat Fifty Looks Like covers Stacy’s adventures and endeavors from past to present. Interesting to note\, Stacy first exhibited her photographic work in the 2009 NCCA-Artsplace Statewide Photography Competition! We’re proud to see where she’s been! Niedzwiecki’s photos have a variety of style\, subject matter\, and location\, as demonstrated in the Retrospective exhibit. This includes landscapes\, bodies of water\, flowers\, farms\, wildlife\, abstracts\, portraiture and more. In celebration of the artist’s 50th birthday\, the exhibit features 50 photographs reproduced on an assortment of materials and surfaces. Included within this show are pieces from “Congruity” – an inspiring collaborative ArtPrize entry by Stacy and author Jeannie Gregory. \nStacy has been involved in digital photography for approximately 15 years\, but her art and graphic design career has traversed nearly three decades. Her fascination with nature’s beauty eventually found its way through the camera lens\, netting awards in multiple regional\, national and international competitions. While she is particularly drawn to the beauty found within our own state of Michigan\, the body of work also includes scenes from her travels in Ohio\, Wisconsin\, Colorado\, Minnesota and California. \nDevoted to her art\, Niedzwiecki is a member of the North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA)\, the Rogue River Artists Association\, and has participated in several artist residency programs sponsored by the Glen Arbor Art Association\, as well as the Crosshatch Center for Art & Ecology’s Hill House in Bellaire\, Michigan.

SUMMARY:Parks in Focus Celebrates with Photo Exhibit\, Reception November 9 NCCA-Artsplace
DESCRIPTION:Parks in Focus Celebrates with Photo Exhibit\, Reception November 9 – On exhibit through December 31.\nNEWAYGO COUNTY\, MI — Fourteen Newaygo County middle and high school students took part in a six-day immersion taking them to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in August.\nThe results of the experience\, a partnership between Udall Foundation’s Parks in Focus program and TrueNorth Community Services\, go on display November 1 at Newaygo County Council for the Arts’ NCCA-Artsplace. To celebrate the efforts by the 10- to 16-year-olds who took part from TrueNorth’s TrueMentors\, Camp Newaygo and Project FOCUS programs\, a public reception is slated 6 p.m.- 7 p.m. November 9 at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 East Main Street in Fremont.\nThe students connected with nature through photography\, environmental and conservation education\, outdoor experiences and creative expression with the project\, which has been going on in Michigan every summer since 2007. They took 10\,798 photos during this summer’s trek\, and their best 14 images are on display in the NCCA-Artsplace exhibit through the end of December.\n“Introducing kids in a hands-on way to the great outdoors provides them with learning opportunities they just might not get otherwise\,” said Lisa Daniell\, director of TrueNorth’s Volunteer Resource Center of Newaygo County. “While the program instructs them on basic photography and the Great Lakes’ biodiversity\, flora and fauna\, it’s just as much about building their confidence and a sense of adventure.”\nTrueMentors is a mentoring program targeting 5- to 14-year-olds\, pairing adult volunteers with youth in communitybased matches and high school and middle school students with elementary and middle schoolers in site-based matches. Project FOCUS is an out-of-school program with adventure and academic enrichment activities at schools in Baldwin\, Hart\, Hesperia\, Muskegon Heights\, Walkerville and White Cloud. Camp Newaygo offers girls’ residential and co-ed day summer camps in addition to environmental education\, team-building\, adventure-based and youth leadership programs.\nThe Parks in Focus program was funded by a Fremont Area Community Foundation grant. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: Brenda Beerhorst - Order and Chaos
DESCRIPTION:October 18 through November 11\nBrenda Beerhorst – Order and Chaos\nReception October 26\, 5:30-7:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont. 231-924-4022. \n“Over several years Brenda Beerhorst has developed an intuitive process of creating free form shapes in overlapping colorful layers of acrylic\, gouache\, and ink on wooden panels. With each successive layer\, shapes and color blocks are created\, rearranged or even covered completely. Between layers\, delicate and timeworn textures are made through reductive sanding. She works on multiple panels simultaneously\, though the colors and patterns can vary significantly from one piece to the next as the works take on distinct personalities.” -Michael DeMaagd Rodriguez \nAs the wife of well-known Grand Rapids painter\, Rick Beerhorst\, and the mother of six artist children\, Brenda has long been a familiar fixture in the West Michigan arts community. Raising a household of eight is no light task\, and when her family was younger it was understandably difficult to find time and space to cultivate a consistent studio practice. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: Jana Hanka - Wood Fired Clay
DESCRIPTION:September 6 through October 14\nJana Hanka – Wood Fired Clay \nReception September 29\, 5:30-7:00 p.m.\n Jansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, 13 E. Main St.\, Fremont. 231-924-4022.\nJana earned her MFA from the Prague Academy of Fine Arts in 1980 and has been living in the USA since 1987. She has participated in several hundred shows in the intervening years – 60 of them as featured artist.\nJana began life as a painter and has slowly evolved into a sculptor\, employing clay and bronze. Her currently displayed work is mostly ceramic sculpture.\n“I have grown particularly fond of the rough and unpredictable earthy effects created by ash deposits and microclimates within the large fire-breathing dragon of a kiln we use for week-long Anagama Japanese-style wood-firings. It is a force unto itself\, beautiful and primal and the work that comes from the kiln is a reflection of that ancient process\,” states Jana. “I died falling from a horse and woke up in a hospital a month later – and suddenly nothing is as it seems – ever again. My life and artwork were changed completely. All bets were off and my life became that of a seeker after truth and visions of the numinous and intangible. That’s what my works ultimately represent – me becoming something deeper in relationship and developing alongside the other – the non-human. Man and horse – a relationship that is ancient\, beautiful\, dangerous and ultimately enlightening.” \nDuring the artist reception on September 29\, 6:00 p.m. Jana will perform a short piece of modern dance she has choreographed to collaborate with the exhibit called Seven Days.  It is about the dramatic process of that happens during the firing of the kiln. \nLearn more about Jana here! \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest
