Dear Friend of the Warwick Museum of Art:
This 2007 Season is proving to be an exciting time as the Warwick Museum of
Art continues its mission to bring artistically significant and important
cultural visions to the City of Warwick. We kicked off our season with an
Artists Jubilee by the Traveling Theater, Nancy Steven Art Gallery 4th
Annual Student Art Show, Motivated! a Multimedia Extravaganza by Providence
Area Artists, New Faces: New Art – an exhibition of the artwork created by
the graduating seniors from various Rhode Island Colleges.
This summer, the WMOA kicked off our season with a Drum, Dance and Dream
free-to-the-community event. Our young artists enjoyed our highly popular
Summer Art Camp, where artists are encouraged to explore creative art-making
techniques in exciting classes like: Recycled Sculpture, Arts & Crafts, Silk
Painting, Cartoon Illustration, Painting with Acrylics, and Improvisational
Theater.
As we strive to provide new opportunities for local artists, the WMOA hosted
the first New England Photography Open. And we also provided our summer
college interns “real world” experience with curating a summer themed show:
Hazy, Lazy, Daisy for emerging and professional artists from the area.
Keeping with tradition, the 21st Annual Rhode Island Open was held in
October this year.
Rory Raven dazzled and delighted us with his Brainstorming performance in
October; Unexpected Company continues to generate fits of laughter from our
audiences every Sunday evening with their improvisational comedy show.
2008 is shaping up to be an extraordinarily promising year, with a balanced
combination of new art opportunities as well as the traditional shows that
our community has grown to love and enjoy over the years. Our winter
programming includes the Big Read Program, Sweet Peas Village Children’s
Artwork, as well as other engaging art exhibitions.
Accomplishing these goals is by no means a singular responsibility. The
Warwick Museum of Art simply cannot thrive without your financial
assistance. Please send in your membership today and protect Warwick’s
artistic and cultural center. Membership allows you to receive e-updates on
our exhibitions and special events, two free tickets to any regularly
scheduled Unexpected Company Improvisation Comedy Show (reservations &
membership card required) and a 10% discount on all Museum School tuitions
including Summer Art Camp. Please visit our website for additional
promotional benefits during the year.
Thank you for your generosity,
Michelle Place-Gleason
President, Board of Directors
