OLLI, Tallahassee Symphony join forces to offer stress-free symphonic music program
The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at Florida State University and The Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra have formed a partnership to offer classes about symphonic music as part of OLLI's program targeted at retired individuals and folks over 50 who want to continue their education in a stress-free environment where there are no tests and no homework.
Persons interested in learning more about the partnership are invited to attend OLLI's Fall Showcase at 1 p.m. Sept. 7 at the FSU Alumni Center, 1030 W. Tennessee St. The showcase and parking are free.
OLLI is associated with the Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy and is supported by the Bernard Osher Foundation, which funds lifelong learning institutes at more than 120 colleges and universities across the country.
The first class resulting from the partnership will be taught by Dr. Amanda Sauer, executive director of Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra, at the Westminster Oaks Maguire Center beginning October 4.
Dr. Sauer will present three lectures on "Opening Night at the Symphony: Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 in E-flat, 'Eroica.'"
This mini-course will delve into the symphony, helping participants understand the formal, historical and autobiographical elements that make it, as Joseph Kerman has written, "an authentic 'watershed' work, one that marks a turning point in the history of modern music."
For the final class, Dr. Michael Broyles will talk about his book-in-progress, Beethoven in America, which explores the meanings that have been attached to Beethoven's name and his music in America for the past 200 years.
The series of lectures will focus on listening and discussion and will culminate in a performance by the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra at its Oct. 23 opening night concert in the newly renovated Ruby Diamond Auditorium.
For information call OLLI at 644-8828 or 644-7947 or email at cby06@fsu.edu. Additional information also can be found at OLLI's Facebook site.

Pensacola Opera Announces 2011 Opera Camp
Pensacola Opera will once again present two weeks of Opera Camp for children ages 8-12 (or entering the eighth grade).
Week One, July 11-15, will include activities and a performance based on Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Week Two, July 25-July 29, will have campers perform in their own version of Guiseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto. Each camp is from 9am-4pm Monday through Thursday, with a final performance for family and friends at 5pm on Friday. All activities are held at the Pensacola Opera Center.
Opera Camp gives children a chance to experience all of the elements of opera production. It culminates in a public performance of an opera created by campers under the guidance of a professional opera director and musical coaches. Campers play music and theatre games that teach them the skills used in operatic performance, and will gain hands-on experience in set, costume, prop, and makeup design. No previous experience or training is necessary for Opera Camp.
Cost is $150 per week – each week is a separate program. Camp fees include lunch, snacks, all materials and a t-shirt. A limited number of camp scholarships are available.
For more information on scholarship opportunities or registration, call the Opera at (850) 433-6737 or visit www.pensacolaopera.com

Pinocchio is an excellent entertainment and educational opportunity for students, educators and community groups alike!

Third Annual Winter Park Paint Out This Spring
The Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens hosts the Third Annual Winter Park Paint Out during the last week of April 2011. Twenty-eight of Florida’s finest “plein air” artists will be painting throughout Winter Park capturing local landscapes and landmarks with oils, watercolors and pastels.
The public is invited to stop by the museum and gardens all week long to see recently completed works, watch artists painting in the gardens, and to attend free painting demonstrations. Artwork produced during the paint out will be for sale with a portion of the proceeds going to support the preservation, maintenance and operation of the museum and gardens.
Plein air, a French term meaning “in the open air,” describes artworks painted outdoors with the subject directly in view, rather than being created in a studio. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color and movement into their works.
The paint out concludes with a special ticketed evening event - The Paint Out Garden Party, which takes place from 6pm-9pm on Saturday, April 30. All artists will be present and patrons are able to discuss and purchase their works. Tickets for The Paint Out Garden Party are available through the Polasek Museum and are priced at $35 in advance, $50 at the door.
Call the museum at (407) 647-6294 for additional information or visit the paint out web site at www.winterparkpaintout.org.

DFAC Summer Camp Open House Slated for April 29
How do you make an already successful Summer Camp Program even better? “MORE is better” according to Todd Still, Director of Youth Education at the Dunedin Fine Art Center. This year the camp expands to offer full day options for the youngest campers, a mural camp, programs for teens as well as a separate DFAC on Stage, Theater Camp. “We’re trying to offer the breadth of programs that parents are looking for” says Mr. Still.
Ken Hannon the Director of Communications for DFAC feels the camps are growing because of the positive experience the children are having. “Studies show” he notes “that children who study art, end up doing better in ALL of their studies, so that makes our programs pretty popular with parents too!”

Summer Art Classes at DFAC present a World of possibilities.
What is the earliest memory you have about the creative freedom of art? Perhaps it’s the smell of a new box of crayons as you first opened them, or the tremendous feeling of the clay squishing between your fingers as you squeezed it. A blank sheet of paper, a ball of clay and a world of possibilities.
Those possibilities of course are still there inside of you. The Dunedin Fine Art Center just wants to help you realize them. There are no grades in their classes, no failure, just the reward of freeing your creativity.
The Dunedin Fine Art Center’s Gladys Douglas School of the Arts is currently registering for Summer classes, with discounted tuition rates for DFAC Members. Daytime, evening and weekend classes are available as well as one day to week-long workshops in a variety of media. Register now for the Summer I session: June 6th – July 17th, Summer II session: July 18th – August 28th , or Workshops May 30th – June 5th.

DFAC Summer Camp Offerings Available for Registration
How do you make an already successful Summer Camp Program even better? “MORE is better” according to Todd Still, Director of Youth Education at the Dunedin Fine Art Center. This year the camp offers programs for teens as well as a separate DFAC on Stage and Mural Madness Camps. “We’re trying to offer the breadth of programs that parents are looking for” says Mr. Still.
George Ann Bissett, the Executive Director of DFAC feels the camps are growing because of the positive experience the children are having. “Studies show” she notes “that children who study art, end up doing better in ALL of their studies, so that makes our programs pretty popular with parents too!”
The Summer Camp Programs which run from June 13th through August 19th provide exciting camp experiences for children 4.5 – 14 years old. The offerings include:

student's level of skill and personal artistic goals. If the "goal"
is unknown, that's fine too. The content, pace and density of the
instruction is fully adjustable. The student's level of skill isn't nearly
as important as his or her state of mind and desire to learn. Owens will

NEW FINE ARTS CAMP FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Who said summer camp is only for youngsters? This summer the Lee County Alliance for the Arts is offering a new Fine Arts Summer Camp for students in grades 7-12. This four week visual arts intensive camp begins June 13th and provides middle and high school students the opportunity to hone their artistic skills in the areas of painting, architecture, eco-art and handbuilt pottery.
Week one, “Painting Studio,” is led by professional painter Ann McCarty who will lead students through brush control exercises, rendering skill practice and mixing colors workshops. Campers will explore a variety of subjects including impasto texture, glazing and leave camp with several completed pieces of artwork.
In week two, “Architecture,” students explore new ways of viewing, designing and thinking with projects that broaden the way they visualize the world around them. Classes led by Architect Toni Ferrell explore alternative methods of creation and encourage critical thinking. Hands on exercises lead the way in this studio workshop where common materials are toothpicks, cement, glue and found objects. Participants will study the work and methods of historical architects Charles and Ray Eames through film and workshop practice.
Week three, “Eco-Art: Using Recycled Materials,” does just that. A common theme in today’s art community is sustainable living and creating work with found objects and everyday elements. Using recycled items and a bit of imagination is key for campers as they sculpt, build, paint and repurpose objects to create a masterpiece. In addition, students will learn how the world’s most cutting edge contemporary artists work with the coexistence of making art and loving the planet.
The fourth and final week of camp, “All Fired Up! Handbuilt Pottery,” sets the stage for campers to get their hands dirty and train with master artist, Clayton Roberts. Projects include creating one-of-a-kind vessels and clay structures by practicing an array of skills such as 3-dimenational construction, unique surface decorating and the secrets of glazing.
Middle and High School artists – practice your creative talents and learn from professional artists at the Lee County Alliance for the Arts first annual Fine Arts Camp. Campers may choose a week in the medium of their choice or become a multi-medium skilled artist by attending all four weeks. Fine Arts Camp member tuition is $150per week or $500 for four weeks. Members of the Alliance, $75 per year always pay the lower price.
Space is limited to 15 students per week. Campers are encouraged register early to ensure their spot. To enroll, visit the Lee County Alliance for the Arts on the corner of Colonial and McGergor, call (239) 939-2787 or visit www.ArtInLee.org.

You will be creating individual prints, using printing plates, in combination with water-based or oil-based inks, or paints to make botanical prints. Gelatin printing is a form of monoprinting in which a gelatin slab is used as a printing `plate' in conjunction with standard water soluble printing inks to create images. This is a simple, spontaneous and fun way to introduce yourself to printmaking and to produce your own original prints. All materials are provided. Bring apron, fresh leaves and weeds from your yard. Material fee payable to the instructor.

Acrylic Resist Painting Demonstration at Art Uptown April 15
Art Uptown, Sarasota’s oldest cooperative fine art gallery, presents a demonstration of acrylic resist techniques by Sarasota artist Cecile Moran on Friday, April 15, at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited to the program. There is no charge. The gallery is located at 1367 Main St.
Cecile’s paintings are created by a process using layering and resistance techniques. Paint is applied and removed in areas to reveal new and different color relationships, she explained. Her images embody a sense of energy displayed through the interaction of brilliant colors, she noted.
“I find the inspirations for my images from the living things which surround me. My work speaks to the importance of our natural environment and symbolizes the unseen energy that connects all living things,” observed Cecile, who is past president of Art Uptown and serves on the board.
An educator as well as an artist, she graduated with a BFA from Boston University’s School of the Arts and an MA in Art Education from California State University. She also studied at the School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Her work can be found in collections throughout the United States, Canada and Spain.
A teaching artist, her life experiences and teaching took her to diverse locations – from Spain, where she lived and taught for three years, to California, New York and Florida. She resided and taught in Tampa for 20 years. Moving to Sarasota in 1998, she conducted art and educational programs at the YMCA Youth Shelter. She continues to give painting workshops.
Cecile exhibits her art at Art Uptown along with the gallery’s 27 other member artists. Attendees at her demonstration will have an opportunity to view all of the exhibits. The gallery is open Monday-Friday, 11-5, and Saturday, 10-4. During the monthly First Friday Gallery Walks on Palm and Main streets, evening hours are 6-9. Telephone: 941-955-5409. www.artuptown.com.

Alliance for the Arts Summer Camps Begin June 13
The Lee County school year is winding to a close and parents are seeking new ways to engage their children during summer break. One of the longest running and most reputable Summer Camp programs in this community can be found at the Lee County Alliance for the Arts, located on the Corner of Colonial and McGregor Boulevard, in Fort Myers.
Alliance for the Arts is now presenting their 23rd year of Summer Arts Camp (grades 1-6), and proudly introduces two new camps including Mini Michelangelos Camp (ages 4-5) and Fine Arts Camp (grades 7-12). Alliance summer camps give students the opportunity to create, explore and discover the visual and performing arts in a fun interactive environment. Instructed is provided by some of the most accomplished Fine Artists and certified instructors in Southwest Florida.
Summer Arts Camp has recently been named #1 Youth Program, for the second year, in Parent & Child Magazine’s People Choice Awards. Designed for grades 1st-6th this camp runs eight weeks, June 13th through August 5th. New and exciting weekly themes include Raiders of the Lost Artifact, Magic Kingdom, Lights of Broadway, Super Hero Academy, Animal Planet, Art in Motion, Around the World in 5 Days and Destination Animation. Special to the Lights of Broadway week, campers participate in a backstage tour of the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater. During Animal Planet week, students practice drawing different animals and enjoy a visit from the Shell Factory Nature Park. Summer Arts Camp focuses on visual and performance arts activities where children create, construct, rehearse and prepare for a weekly art exhibit & finale performance for family and friends.
For the young artists in our community, the Alliance is proud to introduce Mini Michelangelos Camp for kids ages 4-5. The mini’s camp runs four weeks starting July 11th through August 5th. Weekly themes include Rhymes & Tales, Magic Kingdom, Princes and Princesses and Super Hero Academy. Magic Kingdom will explore favorite fictional characters. Super Hero Academy will build a set of “action figures,” design a secret lair, and more. Projects focus on visual arts and children will take home their projects of painting, sculpture, collage and mixed media. All campers must turn 5 by September 1, 2011.
Fine Arts Camp, June 13- July 8th, is designed for visual art students entering grades 7 -12 and provides instruction from professional artists, painters, sculptors, architects and mixed media specialists. Each week features projects in different mediums where students complete several pieces of artwork. Painting week will help students practice brush control and mixing colors while Architecture week focuses on building design and critical thinking. Eco-Art week allows practice in mixed media activities specifically using recycled materials and found objects, and Handbuilt Pottery week includes molding clay, creating sculptures, the secrets of glazing and more. To wrap up each week, students hold a weekly art show to exhibit their work.
