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

Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022. \nDale Johnson has a fine art education\, and Professor Emeritus after teaching painting and drawing for 42 years at Bethel University in St. Paul\, Minnesota. \n“This exhibition is in part a completion of a dream\, an item on my bucket list. 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. Niedzwiecki actively supplies imagery for Stacy Lake CVB\, the Rockford Economic Development Corporation\, Rockford Chamber of Commerce\, Michigan BLUE magazine and the Shoreline Visitors’ Guide. \nHer most honored accomplishment is the installation of 63 of her nature images at the permanent art collection in the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion\, which opened in 2008 in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. Those images were showcased in her first book effort\, Healing Images – A Selection from the Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion which was released in 2010. \nTo preview some of her work\, visit her website at http://StacyN.com \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

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

SUMMARY:NCCA-Artsplace Exhibit: A Frugal Fugue Lisa Medendorp and Amy Wilkinson
DESCRIPTION:August 2 through September 2\nA Frugal Fugue\nLisa Medendorp and Amy Wilkinson\nReception August 17\, 5:30-7:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\,\n13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022.\nLast Garden Dress by Amy Wilkinson \nAn energetic synergy is released when Lisa Medendorp’s abstract paintings and the surrealistic sculptures of Amy Wilkinson get together. The dancing\, twisting painted forms on canvas create a fitting surround to the restrained tension held in sculptural suspension. \nSentinel by Lisa Medendorp \nThe totemic\, somewhat figurative forms in Medendorp’s paintings evoke mythological styles\, The Lake Marcher’s series can be interpreted as being mythological defenders of the environment who march across Lake Michigan with the ever changing weather fronts. \nWilkinson utilizes wrapped wire and other fibers to create an eclectic weaving of reclaimed materials. Her themes involve strength\, beauty\, and perseverance lightly veiled in nostalgia\, and encourage frugality when considering our resource allocations. \nThe two artists share a respect for the environment that is evident by the re-purposing of discarded materials in Wilkinson’s rustic assemblages that are in harmony with the themes that underlie Medendorp’s paintings. The use of interwoven shapes and materials in the works by both artists echo the interconnected web of nature. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:Dogwood Center Exhibit: Richard Wieth
DESCRIPTION:Richard Wieth\nMarch 25 – May 20\nDogwood Center Lobby Gallery \n \nRichard D. Wieth is a West Michigan artist who has been painting\, drawing and thinking creatively for almost all of his life. Born in Chicago\, he attended Loyola Academy Prep before heading to the University of Denver. \nRichard has been a full time artist for over twenty years and in that time his work has been included in many juried shows including the Oil Painters of America and the Pastel Society of America. \nBy Richard about his work: \n“I would like everyone who looks at my paintings to know for a moment the simple beauty of the simple things in life.  All too often people get caught up in details and fail to appreciate the enjoyment of simplicity.  I do not attempt to paint photographically and I always want my viewer to know without a doubt that they are viewing a painting. \n I paint with an impressionistic style that I believe lends itself to adding mystery and expression.  Art is true self-expression\, each color\, brush stroke or lack of brush stroke conveys emotion and self-expression.  I put a lot of faith in the viewer that they will be able to piece together the mystery\, without spelling out every detail.  This interaction will help the viewer enjoy not only the moment of time that I am creating but also the painting as an art itself.\nI would love it if people could see the simplicity of still lifes in their everyday environment or the deeper beauty of animals\, nature\, and people.  All of these subjects in their moments of simple beauty I render in a spontaneous\, direct\, and confident manner\, in a hope that people will interact with my work more deeply and engagingly.  The ultimate goal of contributing to the beauty and enjoyment of life. \nI hope that the energy and love that I put into my work will remain with the painting and will provide that loving energy to the viewers.” \nThis exhibit combines a collection of colorful landscape and impressionistic still life paintings. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest

SUMMARY:The Art of Erick Picardo
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Erick Picardo March 24 – April 24\nPublic Exhibit Reception\nSaturday\, April 22 – 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.\nJansma Gallery at NCCA-Artsplace\, \n13 E. Main St.\, Fremont\, 231-924-4022. \nWithin the world of art\, Picardo continues to expose the synthesization of his universe through expressive grounds of astounding interpretation. Always showcasing the manifestations of human existence within life’s procession\, Erick Picardo is slowly approaching a shift towards the realm of contemporary art. Defined by the dominance of foreground\, size\, and supremacy of color\, the role of the long and oval-shaped faceless bodies in his paintings appear as a blurring balance between abstraction and mysterious expression that always quickly show to one’s eye\, that the world in which his creations come from\, is not our own. It is easy to recognize cubist stylings and an influence of artists like Pablo Picasso while Erick expresses the rhythms of music and life of the Latin community through his paintings. From the automatic captivation of Picardo’s gorgeous paintings of oil and acrylic mixtures\, the viewer cannot help but to notice the richness and beauty of the colors he chooses and how these colors help display the powerful harmony of complex values in society that sometimes pose a conflict to each other. The work of Picardo has been exhibited nationally and internationally and he currently resides in Grand Rapids\, where he continues to grow his profound artistry while also working with the Latin community. \nShare this:ShareFacebookTwitterPrintEmailLinkedInPinterest
