SUMMER 2013

Together we create a better community through services that strenghten heart, mind and body.

Fine Arts Preschool at Shadelands Art Center, Heather Farm and Civic Park Preschools offer both a school year program as well as summer programming at all three sites. Summer programming this year will offer a 10-week program at the Fine Arts Preschool, an 8-week program at Civic Park, and a 6-week program at Heather Farm.

Both our school year and summer programs offer well-rounded, safe, and nurturing environments that are developmentally age-appropriate with a focus on developing the “whole-child.” The programs serve children from 24 to 60 months, offering hands-on learning through play. Expanding social/emotional, physical and cognitive development, using both an integrated and project based curriculum, provides a “child-centered” approach to learning that makes for an exciting, dynamic learning environment.

ALL ABOUT GRAPHITE

Exciting drawing class for both beginners and developed artists.

Focus on the medium of graphite, in both pencil and powder

form. While graphite is soluble in turpenoid it is also workable

with both alcohol and water. It combines well with traditional

drawing techniques and is extremely valuable as both a painting

medium and in combination with other media, such as soft pastel

and encaustic. Begin with traditional techniques and progress

to contemporary applications. If you are captivated by the subtle

richness of delicate grays or the range of powerful charcoal tones

you can achieve, this class is for you!

REDUCTION PRINTING

Reduction printing is one of the relief printmaking methods which

Pablo Picasso brought to wider attention during mid 20th century.

A multi-color print is created using only one block by cutting away

more and more of the surface in between each color printing. This

process allows the printmaker to print as many colors as he/she

wishes yet only uses one block to print all the colors. With careful

planning of the image before beginning to print, the final print will

be somewhat of a surprise! $20 supply fee payable to instructor.

Scholarship Fundraiser a Great Success!

OVER $45,OOO RAISED AT FABULOUS PARTY

Midnight in Havana, Friend’s Foundation annual gala fund-raising event, was a re-

sounding success. From the beat of the steel drums to the pounding of the bongos of

Los Boleros to the tapping of feet doing the salsa on the dance floor, the sell-out crowd

of over 200 happy guests experienced an evening they will all remember. Over $45,000

was raised to support the foundation’s mission to fund scholarships for deserving stu-

dents and provide program support for Civic Arts.

Mayor Cindy Silva opened the event noting we are blessed with many wonderful

events and programs that make the quality of life here especially extraordinary and that

CAE is paramount among the programs that the city offers. Michael Weiner, President

of Friends of CAE Foundation, followed with an expression of gratitude to the many

individuals and companies responsible for the preparation of the event and finished

his speech with a warm tribute and recognition to Kathy Nelson, the outgoing CAE

Program Manager.

An authentic Cuban meal, complete with mojitos and wine, accompanied by swinging

music from the band, Los Boleros, led to the highlight of the evening, the live auction.

The auctioneer, Damon Casatico, brought the audience through the spectrum of won-

derful items with the climax being the annual Fund-a-Scholarship paddle raise. Then

a video highlighted the activities provided by CAE and a brief testimonial was given

by Polly Bradbury, a current Arts Commissioner, explaining the importance and role of

CAE in her life and decision to serve the community as Arts Commissioner.

The evening ended all too soon with a dance set by Los Boleros, but not before new

records were set for income raised for scholarships and Foundation’s activities. This

event has clearly raised the standard by which many philanthropic organizations will

be measured and puts the community on notice that the Friends Foundation is serious

in its mission to provide financial support to enable everyone, and especially people

of limited financial means, to enjoy the benefits of the quality programs offered by CAE.

“We hope the students who go through our programs will have a lifelong appreciation of the arts.”

CAE Instructor

Your Donation Dollars at Work:The Friends of CAE Foundation has provided over 500 children and adults with scholarships for

performing and visual art classes. The positive impact on families and individuals who other-

wise would not be able to participate because of financial need is considerable. This access is

made possible through the generous donation of community leaders, donors and patrons like

you.

In addition to scholarships, the foundation is focused on program support such as the recent

procurement of six pianos, installation of donated sprung floors for the dance program, and

support for an elite jazz band education clinic. In addition, the foundation has launched a merit

scholar program.

Best of the Best Awarded In Music Scholar Program IN HONOR OF KATHY NELSON’S RETIREMENT The Friends Of CAE Foundation has named this inaugural scholarship program in honor

of Kathy Nelson, retired CAE Program Manager for her lifetime commitment to the Civic

Arts Education program. Four merit scholars in music were announced in late May. Each

scholar received a $250 award to be used within the CAE program. Students were judged

based on level-appropriate technique as determined by an impartial professional in the

music industry. See website for merit scholar announcements.

The Friends of Civic Arts Foundation will in the future be growing the merit scholar

program within performance, dance, and other arts categories in an effort to celebrate all

branches of the Civic Arts Education programs. For more information, please call 925-943-

5648 or email [email protected].

is a great start. Children who have had more school or play

group experiences will find Little Walnut camp a perfect

fit. Whichever camp you choose, our program leaders will

make sure that your child has a wonderful summer!
