Letter from the Executive Director, Charles Aymond

!e primary goal of the Ella is to connect our community’s residents of all ages to the arts and local history by o#ering a wide variety of classes, exhibits and other programs designed to tempt their participation.

We think we are doing that. !is spring we have a large number of o#erings that were planned to stimulate those interests. I hope you made it to our Sugar and Shearing Festival on the last Sunday in March. !at event drew over 3,000 people who loved the old and new attractions, especially the sheep herding dog (see pg. 6).

I’d bet that most of you aren’t familiar with "ber art but if you come to see our “Michigan Handweavers Show” you will be amazed by the creativity and drama of this often ignored art form. At the same time you should check out the Jackson Civic Art Association biennial show in the Emmet Gallery. I don’t think most of Jackson understands the depth and talent of our local artists. Be sure to check it out, many of these works are for sale.

We are also featuring an exhibit about Ella Sharp who passed away 100 years ago. You are going to hear a lot more about our Andrew Wyeth and Ronald Frontin exhibits which are coming up in late June. !ey should be terri"c.

I can’t pass up mentioning our exciting travel program. !e travel committee works hard to provide you with interesting options to see what’s happening elsewhere. Call us for more details.

We have all sorts of workshops and classes for young and old and May should "nd hundreds of school children participating in our Pioneer Living program. As you saw on the front page, June means our Art, Beer and Wine Festival which you are sure to enjoy.

I’m running out of room and I still haven’t mentioned our lectures or our Patio Parties. You will be hearing a lot more about Ella Sharp as we look forward to celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Park and the 50th anniversary of the Museum in 2015.

We at the Museum are always mindful that it is individuals like you and your personal investment that make all this happen at the Ella. Your gifts provide us with the "nancial support to provide these activities and services that demonstrate the value of the arts and history. !ank you!

Plenty of variety at the Ella

Paintings by Ronald FrontinFESTIVAL,  cont.  from  pg.  1

Maine resident Ronald Frontin is a contemporary painter who continues the American real-ist tradition of artists such as Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth with his fastidiously painted "gures set on the coast and in the countryside. Frontin was a friend of Andrew Wyeth and the in%uence is clearly seen in his work.

Seventeen works, including watercolors and oil paintings, will show-case Ronald Frontin’s creativity and passion for the realist tradition that is part of America’s history.

!is is the "rst time that Frontin’s work has been exhibited in Michi-gan, so this show is not to be missed. Visit the exhibit from June 30-September 29 in our Emmet Gallery.

tasting tickets will be avail-able for purchase during the event.

If you haven’t made plans already for June 9, please join us as a volunteer! Come and enjoy a beautiful summer day with us on our campus. If you love meeting new people and lending a hand, the Ella is the place to be.

Interested in selling your art at the Festival? !e deadline for artist booth registration is May 11. Register online at ellasharp.org/art_wine.html.

For volunteer and artist information, contact Brad Zenz at 517-787-2320 ext. 227 or email bradz@ellasharp.org.

Collector searches

for Andrew Wyeth

Amazing  Jackson  Race

Searching for Wyeth: !rough the Collector’s Eyes runs from June 30-September 8 in the Hurst Gallery. Michigan resident Loren Cowles has been collecting original Andrew Wyeth watercolors, prints and portfolios since the early 1980s. He has amassed more than 250 Wyeth prints.

His passion led him on a serendipitous journey to Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, home of Wyeth; a chance dinner encounter with Helga Testorf, famed for being Wyeth’s muse in his Helga por-traits; and befriending the only man who framed Wyeth’s works. Cowle’s contagious passion for all things Wyeth has also in"u-enced many of his friends who have become collectors and joined him and his wife Chris on their journeys.

Highlights of the exhibit include a signed #rst-edition print of “Christina’s World,” “Allan’s House,” a large signed watercolor, and a printer’s proof of “Her Room.” !is intimate look at one man’s search for Andrew Wyeth will be sure to inspire the collec-tor in all of us.

In conjunction with the exhibit, the Museum is proud to present, as part of the County National Bank 2012 Free Lecture Series, Dr. Michael Farrell and his talk, “!e Art and Life of Andrew Wyeth: In His Own Words,” on July 17 at 7 pm.

Dr. Farrell is a professor of Art History and the founder of the Honors Art History Program at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He believes that there is a profound di$erence between looking and seeing. In his entertaining and inspiring lecture, the di$erence becomes apparent.

Exhibits at Ella

Michigan  League  of  Handweavers  17th  Biennial  Fiber  Show

Bart  Walter:  A  Retrospective Andrews  Gallery  

of  Wildlife  Art

Bart Walter: A Retrospective opens on June 23 in the Andrews Gallery of Wildlife Art. Walter, whose award-winning, internationally-collected art has been featured in a number of solo museum exhibitions, is among the very few wildlife sculptors who work from life. Rather than rely on photographs, memory, or sketches (although he does occasionally refer to these), the Maryland-based artist spends long stretches of time in the presence of the animals he is sculpting.

!e results, charged with the excitement and energy of direct experience, are a spon-taneous response in bronze and stainless steel. “My art evolves from a passion for all living things,” Walter says. “I strive to capture the essence of a living being; to explore some kernel of truth that may have gone unnoticed and to depict an otherwise elusive moment in time.”

!is retrospective of more than 20 bronze and stainless steel sculptures, along with several sketches, will give the viewer a unique look at the artwork of a gifted sculptor. !e Museum is fortunate to already house several of Walter’s sculptures, which will be part of the retrospective. !e exhibit runs through September 8.

Blue Herons, Bronze

Michigan League of Handweavers 17th Biennial Fiber Exhibit runs now through June 16 in the Hurst Gallery. Established in 1959, the Michigan League of Handweavers (MLH) was founded to promote the art of handweaving. !is exhibit is juried by Sherri Smith, a Catherine B. Heller Collegiate Professor, School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan. Profes-sor Smith received her B.A. from Stanford University, her M.F.A from Cranbrook Academy of Art and has been a faculty member at the University of Michigan since 1974.

Previous MLH Biennial Fiber shows have featured an assort-ment of "ber techniques such as "ne art and functional weaving, quilting, beadings, knitting and surface design. !e "ber arts have a distinctive cultural importance, dating back thousands of years and the artists in MLH continue that rich history through distinctive art and design. Traditionally this exhibit draws the best "ber artists from Michigan and across the country, creating an exciting and educational exhibit for all.

!e Museum is proud to present the exhibit Contained: !e Art of Len Cowgill from May 12-July 14. Len Cowgill resides in North-ern Michigan and works at the Tamarack Gallery in Omena. His art is meticulously drawn, capturing facial and physical gestures with small dots and lines. Once the "gure is complete he surrounds the portrait with handwritten text and places it in a container that may be a bottle, a box, or an ever-traditional picture frame.

“My work is about containment. I explore some facet of the hu-man condition and box it or put it in a bottle,” Cowgill says. “I create a stage for the drawing and invite the audience to get close, look at and touch it. Sometimes the drawings are in the form of puppets and the viewer may tug the strings and make them jump. I put music boxes that the viewer can crank on, or I’ll mount the drawing on a turntable so it will spin. Not all of my work does a jig

or cranks out a song. Some of my work is very still; a moment caught and pinned down, like a butter%y in a museum exhibit, a cabinet of curios-ity. But my boxes and bottles contain glimpses of ordinary moments and thoughts we’ve all experienced, a bit of the joy and pain of growing up, of being human.”

Cowgill has exhibited in galleries as close as Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids and as far away as Florida and Japan. All works in the exhibit are for sale.
