Contemporary art and practice are at the forefront of<br />
discovery. As Barbara London, Video and Media Curator at<br />
New York’s Museum of Modern <strong>Art</strong> points out, “<strong>Art</strong>ists are<br />
the harbingers in working with materials and technology<br />
that keep updating faster than we can blurb.”<br />
Fortunately, we have an exhibition committee that connects us with<br />
what is current and insightful. These artists, gallerists, curators, and art<br />
teachers who advise the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong> on exhibitions, collection tours,<br />
public programs and studio visits are well informed and connected with<br />
the region’s emerging artists and the art world’s most recent trends.<br />
In fall <strong>2011</strong> the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong> will present an exhibition featuring the affinity<br />
between art and fashion; a popular motif witnessed by Alexander<br />
McQueen at the Metropolitan Museum of <strong>Art</strong> in New York and Jean-Paul<br />
Gaultier at the Montreal Museum of Fine <strong>Art</strong>s, among others.<br />
In winter 2012 the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong> will open “Crossing Wires” an exhibition<br />
based on technology, featuring work that expands upon or pushes<br />
against traditional definitions of art and investigates the relationship<br />
between technology and play.<br />
Not only do we exhibit the work of our time, we offer instruction by the<br />
artists working in these 21 st Century disciplines at our <strong>Art</strong> School. This<br />
fall we will begin to offer more in the area of new media with a remix<br />
class and digital narrative production. And our new “Make Room” will be<br />
a space in which fabric and thread reigns, where students can explore<br />
contemporary dress, decoration and deconstruction.<br />
There are many reasons to visit us at the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong>. However, our mission<br />
will not be fulfilled if all you do is look or listen, we also want you to learn<br />
- about the artists, the world, and even yourself. To that end, we will be<br />
working diligently to offer additional interpretive materials in our galleries<br />
and on our web site. Audience engagement is at the very core of our<br />
practice here at the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Center</strong> and it has been for over eighty years.<br />
I look forward to seeing you in our galleries and classrooms. Make art a<br />
part of your life.<br />
