THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS FREE ART - A Regional Open Call To Artists, Submissions Due Sunday August 10th between noon and 5pm

August of 2008 will mark the One Year Anniversary of Paper Kite Studio, Press, and Gallery at its current location on Main Street in Kingston. To celebrate, we’re making public and explicit our promise to bring arts to the community, and, making good on that promise by re-inventing the whole notion of how an Art Gallery works.

First, we are asking ANY area artists who are interested in being considered for a solo or group show during the 11 months after August to submit their portfolio, representative work, slides, or CD of images for consideration along with ONE display-ready piece. The display-ready pieces will be hung during the month of August, and will be available to anyone who wants it for FREE. Selections for solo or group shows for the next exhibition cycle will be made by the end of August. All future shows will be by artists who support our philosophy of giving back to the community by donating a piece of art to August Anniversary Shows.

Second, we are asking ALL area artists (or owners of art) to consider donating a display-ready piece of art to be given away at this event, even if you have no interest in being considered for a solo or group show at this time. Any and all artists who would like to share in this opportunity to give back to the community are invited to bring one to
three pieces of work to the Gallery on Sunday August 10th between noon and 5pm. All work will be hung during the month of August, and will be available to anyone who wants it for FREE.

For details on how to donate art, how to have your work considered for a future show, or others ways you can help support our initiative to give back to the community, please contact one of us:

Artists and Educators,
Please accept this letter of introduction from a new and thriving
convergence of schools and individuals active in the visual and
performing arts. The Harris Conservatory for the Arts is a community
of some of the finest educators and artists currently working in
Northeast Pennsylvania. It is becoming known as the area’s “one stop
shop” for the arts.
Walking the halls of the 20,000 square foot facility brings to mind
images of the popular movie “Fame” based on the school for performing
arts in New York City. Stretching dancers grace the bright and
spacious dance studios, professional paintings create a gallery along
the hallway, a piano plays a classical melody, athletic tumblers do
breathtaking acrobatics and the tone of an operatic solo fills the
air.
This unique collaboration of professional schools and artists have now
created a vibrant and flourishing community with literally an excess
of a thousand guests weekly. We are now searching for new members to
join a family. Tenants can rent space in the building on an hourly,
monthly or yearly basis and can meet any artists budget. Rental fees
include just about EVERYTHING, and with the guaranteed traffic of
artistically interested students and their families, this conservatory
provides a truly exceptional opportunity for growth and development of
new and existing programs.
The conservatory is centrally located in Luzerne just off the Cross
Valley Expressway and Wyoming Avenue. Among the building’s many
features is its 1,800 sq ft rehearsal area. For those groups who may
require even more space, the gymnasium allows enough room to suit just
about every need. A new parking lot has recently been constructed to
meet the demands of the every growing weekly visitors to the
conservatory.
The main tenant of the facility is the Joan Harris Centre. This
nationally recognized school of dance has a 25-year history of
educating budding dancers in its family friendly atmosphere. Many of
the Joan Harris Dancers have gone on to dance with professional dance
companies performing at the Lincoln Centre, on Broadway, and across
the east coast. Their enrollment of nearly 700 students come from all
across the Northeastern Pennsylvania and range in age from 3 through
adult.
Many other noteworthy groups such as the nationally recognized
Northeast Mustang All-Star Cheerleaders, Christine Leandri School of
Music, Miss Kimberly’s Studio of Vocal Arts, Kindermusik of Wyoming
Valley, a theatrical school Back Stage Pass, and various other artists
join the dancers. Wyoming Valley Art League has adorned the walls with
paintings created by their members.
There are many openings for schools and individuals to join our
family. Perfectly suited for the center is string musicians and
schools, martial arts instructors, and physical fitness trainers in
aerobics, Pilates, yoga. We are interested as well in building up the
visual arts offerings at the conservatory with painters, potters,
sculptors and other mediums. The conservatory is open to all sorts of
new concepts since our mission is to be as diverse as the arts
themselves. We believe that through cross-pollination of ideas and
ideals we can create something magnificent.
The Harris Conservatory for the Arts is open to visual and performing
artists interested in becoming a part of this unique community. The
conservatory is located at 545 Charles St. in Luzerne. For more
information please call 570-718-0673 or feel free to stop by any
weekday between 2:00 and 9:00 PM and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00
PM. Also, feel free to call my cell phone 262-3874.
We are looking forward to meeting you!
Sincerely yours,
Nancy Kingsbury
Director of Development
Harris Conservatory for the Arts

A free grant workshop for folk and traditional artists will be held from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, at the Electric City Trolley Station and Museum, 300 Cliff Street in Scranton on the campus of Steamtown National Historic Site.

The workshop is for artists practicing a living, traditional art in their community. Examples include embroidery or lace making, traditional dances, wood carving, herbal remedies, songs sung in church or temple — the kinds of arts that are passed on from one generation to the next and reflect the values of the community.

Lisa Rathje of the Institute for Cultural Partnerships will lead the workshop about the various grant programs for individual traditional artists that are offered by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. These include the 2009 Fellowships in Traditional Arts ($5,000) and 2009 Apprenticeships in Traditional Arts (up to $4,000). The application deadline for these grant programs is August 1, 2008.

Come learn about the grant process, ask questions about your ideas, and get hands-on help with your grant application. To make the most of this technical assistance workshop, download the application and bring your questions to the workshop. Guidelines and application forms will be available in early June at www.culturalpartnerships.org or www.pacouncilonthearts.org.

Folk and traditional arts are alive and well in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and this is a great opportunity for these artists. Please help us spread the word by passing this email along to friends, family members and co-workers.

The workshop is hosted by the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Authority and the Lackawanna County Office of Arts and Culture. To register, call the Electric City Trolley Station and Museum at (570) 963-6590.
