"Art After School (AAS)
program receives Grant support from the California Arts
Council!"
The Honorable Jerry Brown
Governor of California
California State Capitol Building.
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Governor,
Our organization, The Santa Cruz
Mountains Art Center, recently received a grant from the
California Arts Council as part of their Creating Public
Value through the Arts (CPV) program.
The CPV Grant will help support the current Youth Arts Programming at the
Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center: providing Spring and
Summer week-long Art Camps; a Gallery Exhibit
for youth; free workshops; Art After School
(AAS) Classes (at 5 local schools); mentorships
for teens and parents. It will help our community
outreach efforts: class flyers, advertising, as well
as support staff efforts.
Our board is strongly committed to providing arts
experience and education to the youth in our community.
We believe arts are NOT an elective, but play an
integral part in forming a “whole” child. In today’s
current environment, where art classes have been
eliminated from our public schools, our ability to
provide these classes and experience is vital.
Members of our organization, the
young people we serve, their families and in general our
audiences are your constituents and we want you to know
that we appreciate your support of the arts in
California.
Public funding for the arts
supports broad public access to the arts for the
citizens of California. The California Arts Council has
consistently recognized the importance of the arts and
their role in building community by providing funds that
enable Californians throughout the state to participate
in the arts.
The legislature’s continued
financial investment in the arts is critical to this
community and our entire state. Thank you for your
ongoing support and interest in the arts.
We would welcome an opportunity to
have you attend our activities or to speak with you on
the phone about our organization. Office hours:
Tuesdays, 2 – 5 p.m. Office phone: (831) 336-3513.

“Scholarships Get a Big Boost!”
Thanks to the successful Community Day at New Leaf
Markets in Felton and Boulder Creek (May 31), the Youth
Scholarship Fund at the Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center
is fatten up by $1,930! Thank you all who shopped at
New Leaf’s great community markets…we can start off our
Summer Art Camp program with plenty of funding for
scholarships through the season. This is truly the
“gift that keeps on giving”: scholarships are given out
to young budding artists in our community whose families
are in crisis or need. The value of arts education and
experience in helping build a “whole” child is
invaluable and we are extremely thankful to New Leaf
Markets for their continued vital support to worthy
organizations in our community.

APPRECIATION FOR “FILLING BOWLS”
Loaves & Fishes Executive Director Margarita Cortez
and event coordinator Lin Colavin, presented an
Award of Appreciation to the Santa Cruz Mountains
Art Center Board on Monday evening, November 14.
Margarita expressed her sincere appreciation for the
Art Center’s donation of 60 beautiful bowls to help
Loaves & Fishes “Empty Bowls” fundraising efforts.
She shared her belief in the value of volunteers and
collaborations within our community, noting that
over the past few years, Loaves & Fishes has
distributed over 300,000 pounds of food to feed the
hungry in our community. Their “Empty Bowls” event
this year raised almost $30K to help them continue
their efforts.

the value of contributions to our community. At the Art
Center's
10th annual Ceram-A-Rama event
(held September 16, 17, 18, 2011), we invited ceramic
artists to create bowls thrown on the wheel. Each potter
was given 2.5 pound balls of clay for each bowl. Last
year, more than 20 local talented hands pitched in
during the event. Over 50 of the bowls were trimmed,
bisque fired, then glazed and fired by the Art Center's

With a
ukulele strapped to his back and a glass of wine in
his hand Jack... (JOHN WILLIAMS/SENTINEL)
BEN LOMOND --
Songs from the
soundtrack of
the 1986 movie
"Stand By Me"
wafted through
the forested
area behind the
Mountains Art
Center on
Saturday, with
well-placed
blasts from a
kazoo
punctuating the
playful lyrics
of the Shirley
and Lee song,
"Let the Good
Times Roll."The performance
by members of
the newly formed
Ukulele Club of
Santa Cruz
Orchestra was
the second in
the three-part
summer series,
"Ukuleles Gone
Wild." The
line-up also
included
performances
from Three in a
Chord and
several
soloists, all of
them playing on
an elevated
wooden stage
while about a
dozen members of
the audience
strummed along
with their own
instruments.
Carolee
Burrows, a
Felton resident
and member of
the Ukulele
Club, also sits
on the board of
directors for
the Mountains
Art Center,
which provides
education,
exhibition and
cultural
activities in
support of the
arts.
The summer
concert series
started in 2004,
mainly as a
festive excuse
to get community
members together
for camaraderie
to bask in their
shared love of
music.
"The ukulele
is just bringing
people together
in music because
it's so easy to
play -- I mean,
you can
literally learn
it in 15
minutes," she
said as --
veering away
from the "Stand
By Me" theme --
Three in a Chord
continued its
rendition of The
Andrews Sisters'
"Boogie Woogie
Bugle Boy."
On Saturday
mornings behind
the Kind Grind
at the Santa
Cruz harbor,
Burrows added,
"they have 150
people who don't
know each other
playing ukuleles
together."
Ukuleles have
been enjoying a
resurgence in
popularity in
recent years,
possibly because
they're
inexpensive
compared with
similar stringed
instruments such
as a guitars and
basses.
The day's
festivities were
dedicated to
Bill Coombs, a
longtime ukulele
player and
singer with the
band All Shook
Up, who died
recently after
battling stomach
cancer.

November 2010 - Welcome Travis John Adams
A big welcome
to Travis John Adams,
who comes to us with a wealth of
experience and knowledge of
ceramics. Travis says: “I
have an addiction to ceramics that I
love to share with the world. I
believe in the infinite potential of
clay; it can serve as an amazing
form of therapy and expression. I
try to include my life experience in
my work, from stylistic, functional
pottery to conceptual, figurative
sculpture. Over the years I have
developed a personal philosophy
derived from the process of art and
its relation to life. I studied
ceramics and fine art at San
Francisco State University, and have
taught sculpture and pottery classes
in Puerto Rico, Alaska, and the Bay
Area. My most recent work has been
an ardent attempt to mirror the
intricacies and delicate properties
of nature, extracted from
observations of my home in the Santa
Cruz Mountains in California, as
well as from my travels.”

April, 2010: The Value of
Arts - Article by Lisa Alexander
(PDF)
What do we value? As a species, we
have created wondrous things: skyscrapers, iPods, satellites,
the Mona Lisa, and countless other miraculous works of
art and science. We have also created every problem that exists
in our world today. Through shortsightedness, greed, and
intolerance, we have designed overpopulation, poverty,
pollution, depletion of natural resources, war, a tanking
economy, and a government that spends 10,000 times more money on
arms and armed forces than it does on educating its young.
If we had
decided consciously what world to create together, would this be
it? What are we creating today, and how will it look tomorrow?
In this country we claim to value things such as freedom,
fairness, intelligence, tolerance, and respect. The time has
come for each of us to take action in a more global, conscious
way with regard to these values.
Conscious
action begins with whole education for our children. We must
equip them to face the challenges they will inherit. Now, more
than ever, our children need an education that includes more
than just information. It must also provide the creative
experience to sharpen the cognitive tools that can build new
solutions. Every advance ever made by humanity, every problem
ever solved, sprang from creative minds. And yet arts programs
are being cut from public education almost universally. Can we
really afford to eliminate creative training for our young
people? To ignore it as though it was unimportant?
Higher brain
function is facilitated not by particular centers in the brain,
but by systems of interaction—like webs—among many areas. The
ability to access many parts of the brain at once allows one to
gather numerous bits of information and formulate something
completely new. The arts help to build and strengthen these
interconnecting pathways in our brains.
The
correlation between arts education and SAT scores is well
established: more arts exposure equals higher verbal and
math test scores. Higher scores hold not only for standardized
testing, but also in the scholastic areas of reading, English,
history, citizenship, and geography. Students who play a musical
instrument score up to 34% higher on tests that measure spatial
and temporal ability. Studies show that within two to three
years after arts programs are cut in schools, attendance and
test scores go down; incidents of vandalism (crime) and
disruption go up.
Some of the
skills that are developed by arts education are:
·
Abstract reasoning, which is vital
in problem solving, forming theories and ideas, understanding
subjects on a complex level, and thinking about and combining
things symbolically (i.e. adding in your head rather than
counting on your fingers)
·
Discipline and focus
·
Self confidence
·
Spatial thinking, which is critical
for learning in the areas of complex mathematics, science, and
engineering
·
Enhanced communication and
expression
Arts
education fosters original thinking—and healthy, adaptable,
tolerant human beings. Imagine, for a moment, a world in which
individuals and societies were able to:
·
Creatively find peaceful
resolutions for conflicts between individuals, groups,
and countries.
·
Design homes, buildings,
transportation, and lifestyles that are sustainable and
symbiotic with the planet (rather than parasitic and
resource depleting).
·
Create community, family,
and individual health through fair trade, fair wages,
fair prices, and universal access to excellent education
and healthcare.
·
Design ways to clean up and
eliminate environmental toxins.
These are not
outlandish ideas. They are real solutions to devastating
problems. If we value these things, they are possible. They are
simple ideas to be orchestrated and embraced by creative,
well-educated minds. But well-educated minds need to be
supported and nurtured.
In 2009, the
U.S. Government spent roughly $1,784,000,000 (that’s Billion)
per DAY on defense. On Education, for the entire YEAR:
$64,882,384 (that’s million).
What DO we
value?
Demand from
your representatives that education be made a priority. That
priority needs to be expressed through substantial financial
support. Refuse to allow the arts to be cut from curricula;
demand that arts programs be expanded and integrated with other
subjects. Support your local school’s arts department with
money, supplies, and/or volunteer time. At home, expose your
children to the arts through attending community classes,
galleries, and live performance.
We can
take conscious action that is aligned with our highest values.
We can provide a better world for our children. The arts
can help to make it happen. Imagine that. Create that. Do
that.

March, 2010: Welcome new Board
Members Shahn Spratt and Stephanie Triolo!
Stephanie Triolo
says "I
attended Portland State College for 2 years with intention to be
a Art History teacher, but ended up getting married and having
kids. I Needed to work and just by chance started working for
the Alvin Duskin Co, an apparel manufacturing company. This
started the 32 year journey that was truly exciting, fun and
stimulating. Along the way, I owned and operated a factory,
consulted for Wage and Hour for Womens Division for the State of
California, and consulted for small apparel firms. In 1980 I
began working for Corporate Apparel Companies (Jessica
McClintock, Esprit and Fritzi) as Vice President of
Manufacturing and retired in 2002. I then pursued, planting, and
maintaining a Vineyard until 2005 and then moved to Santa Cruz.
I would really enjoy the opportunity to be on the Board of the
Santa Cruz Mountain Art Center. I have the time and energy to do
whatever it takes to participate in all aspects of the Gallery
and Art Center. I hope that I could contribute, using the skills
that I developed during my many years in business. I have the
ability to work well with everyone. Last but not least, I really
love the place.”
Shahn Spratt has stated he
would like to rejoin the Board. He was our Board President
in past years. His father was artist Fred Spratt, who taught
at San Jose State for many years and owned a gallery in
downtown San Jose. Shahn currently works for NASA – as a
project manager. On our Board, he directed facilities
development (remodeling) and singlehandedly rewired much of
the Center. Shahn would like to get back into working in
clay.
February, 2010: The Art Center Receives

Humongous Thanks!
A letter from
Phyllis Mayfield: April, 2008
To Linda and all
you fantastically creative Mountain Art People,
I thank Linda for
her appreciative article recognizing me for my ten years of
heading up Verbal Moonshine. I want to thank each of you who
keeps the center such a alive place, for all of us who touch it
in any way.
Many times new
people, or the usual stalwarts coming to the monthly read, have
told me how impressed they were with the quality of work on
display. "It makes a warm, inspiring area so I can read better,"
they would say.
I have always
known how important you all have been in making
"Moonshine" run. It's wheels were greased by your artistic work.
Your new ideas always made me look forward to discovering which
creative genie was let out of the lamp to help you complete your
work this time. It continued to inspire me as well as the
readers and listeners attending.
I
know I've had your help always, but I
want to mention a couple of angels who distributed the great
posters Linda made about our final celebration. I was too dizzy
(remember that?) to take them around. I thought there'd be a
stack of them in the back room someplace on the last night. I
saw Susan Archibald and Julie Erreca
in the office. They gave me the last four copies, and told me
they'd heard I wasn't well and wanted to help. I was touched.
I'm sure their effort played a big part in having at least 42
people at the event. Only one example, of many, of your
generosity.
Thank you all. I
hope juicy creativity, yours and mine, will continue to flow for
years and years.
Love ya,
Phyllis Mayfield
P.S. Wish me luck
on my memoir.
