Ubuntu On view Through March 16, 2010

"Ubuntu" is of South African philosophy of community spirit that can best be summed up as "I in You and You in Me."

Ubuntu will feature a variety of talented artists who grew up in other nations and now make their home in Maryland. Their art is reflective of traditional styles and worldviews from their birth nations combined with the Western aesthetic they encountered here. Home, family, love, nature, war and loss, collective themes of humanness are expressed realistically, abstractly and in mixed media.

Featured Artists: Najwa Al-Amin, Baltimore/Iraq; Pablo Caviedes, Ecuador/New York City, Irina Filonova, Columbia/Russia; Zahi Khamis, Baltimore/Palestine; Kateryna Mychajlyshun, Baltimore/Ukraine; Ray Chen, Taiwan/Indiana; and Sunil Sukla, Boonseboro/Bangladesh.

MEDIA RELEASE: February 3, 2010 For Immediate Release CCAC Contact: Sandy Oxx (sandy@CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org) 410/848-7272 FLICC Contact: Frank Baylor (baylorcad@comcast.net) 410/876-6201

All aboard for a mini-trip to the countryside of Italy without the hassles of airport security! Film Lovers in Carroll County (FLICC) has chosen the lavishly romantic film “Enchanted April” to be screened at the Carroll Arts Center on Friday, April 2 at 8 pm.

Since this Academy Award winning film is such a favorite with the ladies, it was scheduled to coincide with the annual Purse Auction sponsored by Seniors Keep in Touch (SKIT) that is also held at the Carroll Arts Center.

Set during post World War I, this gorgeously filmed story follows four women who rent a chateau on a remote Italian island to try to come to grips with their lives and relationships.

They explore the differences in their personalities, reassess their goals, and reexamine their relationships in a sisterly fashion. Together they find romance, hope and ultimately liberation during their month-long holiday.

It is described as a sumptuous “mini-trip” through the breathtaking countryside of Italy.

The 1992 film runs 95 minutes and is rated PG.

It stars Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson.

Audience members are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a glass of wine and shop at the Purse Auction.

Tickets are $6 for adults/$5 for Arts Council members, seniors 60+ and students 18 & Under.

The Carroll Arts Center is located at 91 West Main Street in downtown Westminster.

For more information or to purchase tickets with a credit card, go to
www.CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org or call 410/848-7272.

Art in the Park has been a Carroll County tradition for more than 25 years. This year’s events will be held, rain or shine, on Saturday, June 7 from 10 am – 5 pm on the grounds of Westminster City Hall. It is free to the public.

More than 75 artists will be participating in this juried art show with many of them also providing live demonstrations of their work. On display will be paintings, drawings, collage, photographs, fine prints, sculpture, and stained glass. Visitors will enjoy live demonstrations of wood carving, pottery wheel, screen painting, and cartoon illustration.

Entertainment will be provided by a dozen roaming musicians who will perform on dulcimer, banjo, flute, harp, accordion and voice to delight the crowds. A drum circle and a belly dance troupe will perform during the festivities. Actors from Theatre on the Hill’s upcoming production of Pump Boys and Dinettes will be there in costume to sing some of the musical numbers from that show. As always there will be free craft activities for kids to inspire artists of the future!

The event is located at the intersections of Locust, Longwell and Key Streets in downtown Westminster, just 2 blocks northeast of the intersection of Maryland Routes 32 and 27. Festival patrons are encouraged to park free in the parking garage adjacent to the park.

20070827 Carroll County Maryland Arts Council plans trip to Edward Hopper Exhibit Tuesday, September 25th

Carroll County Maryland Arts Council plans trip to Edward Hopper Exhibit

Photo: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts where I had the pleasure of seeing the Edward Hopper exhibition on August 19th, 2007 www.kevindayhoff.net

Posted Monday, August 27, 2007

On Tuesday, September 25th, The Carroll County Arts Council will host a bus trip to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC to visit the Edward Hopper exhibit. This is the first comprehensive survey of Hopper’s career to be seen in an American museum outside of New York for more than 25 years. His classic works captured the realities of urban and rural American life with a poignancy and beauty that have placed them among the most enduring images of the 20th century. The exhibit will feature such iconic paintings as “Nighthawks,” “Automat,” Drug Store,” and “New York Movie.”

Passengers will also have time to visit other parts of the museum or that National Mall. The bus will depart from Westminster at 9 am and return at 4 pm. The cost, which includes transportation, snacks and recorded audio tour of the exhibit, is $30 for Arts Council Members and $35 for Non-Members.

Advance reservations are required and can be made by calling 410/848-7272.

_____

I saw the Edward Hopper exhibit in Boston. It is the subject of my August 22, 2007 Tentacle column, “Edward Hopper: Poet of the ordinary.”

In a piece I submitted to the Westminster Eagle the other day, I mention the Carroll County Arts Council bus trip. I spoke with the editor earlier today it will not run in this Wednesday’s publication due to space constraints.

So we can look forward to the article running in the September 5th, 2007 edition of the Westminster Eagle.

20070107 MLK Legacy Day at the Carroll Arts Center

Martin Luther King Legacy Day at the Carroll Arts Center on Monday, January 15, 2007

January 7th, 2007

http://www.carr.org/arts/index_files/Page441.htm

Martin Luther King Legacy Day

“Ruby Bridges”

Monday, January 15 10:30 am

Free

The true story of Bridges, an African-American girl who, in 1960 at age 6, helped to integrate the all-white school of New Orleans. She was the only black girl to come to the school she was sent to, and since all the white mothers pulled their children out of class, she was the only one there at all. She faced a crowd of angry white citizens every day, yet she emerged strong thanks to encouragement by her teacher, a white woman from the North named Barbara Henry. With the help of her teacher and her mother, she eventually broke down a century-old barrier and played a significant role in the civil-rights movement.

Martin Luther King Legacy Day

Lecturer Tom Cripps

Sponsored by The Maryland Humanities Council

Monday, January 15 7:00 pm

Free - Advance Reservations Suggested

Cripps is a retired University Distinguished Professor Emeritus from Morgan State University. He shares his years of research and writing with audiences throughout the state. His talk, which will include screen clips from movies such as “Sahara” starring Humphrey Bogart, “Crash Dive” starring Tyrone Power and “In This Our Life” starring Olivia de Havilland, is sure to stir honest debate and reflection. The audience will learn how film was not merely a form of entertainment during WWII, but also a means of teaching and indoctrination.
