continuous line community arts project (cap) news www.communityartsproject.net august/september 2014 Art Literacy Program Expands Students’ Skills The 2013-14 school year was an opportunity for students to experience a variety of new and interesting artmaking tools and techniques. Nestucca Valley Elementary School, Garibaldi Grade School, and Cedar Creek Child Care Center all participated in the program again this year and helped CAP reach over 450 kids! Being able to bring the program right to the classroom ensures that every student can take part, without concerns around family finances and transportation. It is a privilege, indeed, to be able to work with these young people and to see in their faces the joy of artistic creation. October began the year with Suminagashi printmaking, followed in November with sketchbook-making using the Suminagashi printed paper created the month before (these sketchbooks were used for the remainder of the year to record ideas and images from Art Lit lessons). January was Joan Miró month and students learned how to do automatic drawing and frottage (texture rubbings). In February, Georgia O’Keeffe and big watercolor flowers were the subject. Then came impasto painting with palette knives in the style of Vincent Van Gogh, color study collage under iconic image transparencies inspired by Andy Warhol and Pop Art, and, wrapping up the year, a study of Mary Cassatt and limited palette monoprints. It was a year of trying new things and using our imaginations, and students consistently demonstrated their ability to remember information and let their creative juices flow. Special thanks to organizations that granted funds for the 2013-14 Art Literacy Program: Nestucca Valley School District, Neah-Kah-Nie School District, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, Nestucca Jr/Sr High School Community 101 Program, Neskowin Community Association, Nesko Women’s Club www.communityartsproject.net page 1 Slug Soup Full to the Brim! CAP’s annual kids art day camp, Slug Soup, reached new heights this summer. Participants numbered 101, an all-time high! Of the 16 classes offered, only one class was less than full, and only less by one student! So, this was the best-attended Slug Soup in the program’s history and we are thrilled to have had so many enthusiastic kids with us for the week. Early sign-ups are becoming a must! Held again at Nestucca Jr/Sr High School in Cloverdale (what a great venue!), classes included two preschool “variety packs” centered around flowers and paper projects and two Kg-1st grade classes focused on art about favorite songs and favorite pets. Offered to kids in 2nd grade and older were two craft workshops and classes in an assortment of art forms that included sculpture from recycled materials, encaustic painting, puppet creation, pin-hole and digital photography, quilting, song-writing, calligraphy, watercolor painting, intricate paper -cutting, and fantasy creature drawing. The week culminated in a spirited celebration of the visual and performing arts; the hallways were lined with inspired 2- and 3-dimensional artwork, a parade of paper windsocks wound through the crowd, and the “stage” hosted a hilarious puppet show and original songs performed by the songwriters themselves! Next year will be Slug Soup’s 20th, so plan to join us for a special week June 22 - 26, 2015.

Rosalina brings many talents to the organization, including knowledge of databases and technology and a grounded business sense. She owns a software consulting company with her husband and is a CPA. She is also a frequent volRosalina Wong, new unteer in the Art Literacy Program at Nestucca Valley EleCAP board member mentary where her son is a student. Rosalina, her husband, and two children live in Neskowin. Welcome, Rosalina! Coupled with our excitement about having Rosalina on the board is our regret at having to say farewell to Sierra Lauder. Sierra’s long commitment to the organization began in 2007. She served as board chair for the last three of those years and offered not only her creative ideas and clear sense of vision, but also her dynamic energy and great sense of humor. Thank you, Sierra. We’ll miss you and wish you all the best in your new pursuits! CAP is looking for additional volunteer board members. All it takes is a desire to promote the arts and art education in our community and the willingness to give some time to the cause. If you have an interest or particular skills to offer, please contact us. We’re a fun group! New Executive Director Takes the Reigns January 1 It is with great joy and enthusiasm that Community Arts Project announces its new Executive Director, Dawn Beyer! On January 1, 2015, Dawn will take over the position from Kim Cavatorta who has served as the ED for 20 years. While retiring from her service to CAP in this capacity, Kim looks forward to continuing to serve as an Art Literacy Program instructor and will present Slug Soup in 2015 (see Kim’s comments below). Dawn makes her home in Pacific City where she has created quite a name for herself as the P.C. Farmers Market Founder and Manager and the Community Garden Coordinator. Her many skills include administration, non-profit development and fundraising, social networking, volunteer coordination, and ability to use a variety of computer programs. Dawn has served in the Peace Corps and speaks Spanish, is a talented gardener and yoga instructor. She comes highly recommended as a person of integrity, dependability, and creativity, who is energetic and easy to work with. Wow! The CAP board and staff look forward to getting to know her better and helping her as she transitions into this new responsibility. Welcome aboard, Dawn! New Beginnings Briefly … from Kim Cavatorta It is not without a little sadness that I leave my position as CAP’s Executive Director, but it is mostly with a sense of gratitude and elation. I am so grateful for all the years of learning and growing, my teachers and guides ranging from Kindergarten Art Lit students to our many gracious volunteers to CAP’s long list of talented board members. These, along with a loving group of family and friends, have shared the journey with me during both the “I can’t get this done on time!” and the “We did it!” moments. And what would I have done without all the generous contributions from our loyal community? It has been remarkable. Thank you, All. It will be a delight to continue on as an Art Lit instructor - it’s my love, after all. It will be delightful, too, to sit down and read a book, start garden seeds in February, write some letters, unpack my loom, and hit the road with Mark and our kayaks. I am so excited about having time to do things that have been patiently waiting. One of the best parts of leaving the ED position is knowing that CAP will be in good hands with Dawn Beyer. She’s terrific and I hope you will all support her in the same way you have me. One couldn’t ask for more. page 6 www.communityartsproject.net Your Heart’s Desire Gets a Snow Day! Thanks to an unexpected turn in the weather, what was planned as a celebration of Valentine’s Day turned into an Ides of March party with hearts! The weekend of February 8, as you no doubt remember, 7-10 inches of snow fell in the South County area. Knowing there was no way anyone could make it safely to the Kiawanda Community Center in Pacific City, CAP rescheduled its annual Your Heart’s Desire fundraiser for Saturday, March 15. Spirits were not deterred, however, as more than 150 shared in the celebration on the new date. During the afternoon, gallery guests were treated with demonstrations by artists Denise Clausen, Nicola Harrison, and Mark Cavatorta. The evening party was enlivened again by the musical talents of Newport jazz group Past Forward. Other highlights included a beautiful display of art donated by artists in the community, a selection of delectable appetizers and libations, a rousing raffle awards ceremony (!), dancing, and general merry-making … all in support of CAP’s Art Literacy Program. While we had to postpone the festivities for a few weeks, it was a successful event and well worth waiting for. There are so many individuals, businesses, and organizations who helped in generous ways. Donors, volunteers, artists, musicians, silent auction and raffle contributors, food and beverage donors - too many to list here - all who have CAP’s appreciation and gratitude. Very special thanks from CAP go to those who were major sponsors of the event: Cape Kiwanda RV Resort, Inc., Pelican Pub and Brewery, Seufert Winery, Twist Wine Company, Tillamook HeadlightHerald, KTIL Family of Radio Stations, Pacific City Sun, Rosenberg Builders Supply, American Easel, LLC, Kiawanda Community Center, Shorepine Vacation Rentals, Sportsman’s Pub-n-Grub, Tillamook Vision Center, TLC Federal Credit Union, Village Merchants, Fred Meyer Tillamook, and Tillamook County Creamery Association. Mark your calendars for next year’s Your Heart’s Desire … Saturday, February 14, 2015! Did you know … ? Some of the beautiful art panels created for Your Heart’s Desire are on display and for sale at Stimulus Espresso Café in Pacific City and at the Second Street Market in Tillamook. You can still buy that piece you had your eye on and support Art Literacy. The Original Works fundraiser held at Garibaldi Grade School and Nestucca Valley Elementary during March netted almost $1,000 for the Art Literacy Program! Friends and families purchased products bearing their student’s artwork. Way to go, young artists!
