SUMMARY:Animated Art: A Joan Gratz Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Animated Art: A Joan Gratz Retrospective\nSaturday\, March 25@3pm\n\nFor those of you who missed “Animated Art: An Afternoon with Joan Gratz\,” we have added an encore screening of the entire program without Joan in attendance. This is your last chance to see the work one of America’s greatest animators. \nAcademy Award-winning director and animator Joan Gratz pioneered the art of “Claypainting” and has continued to be a favorite at film festivals world-wide. The 60 minute presentation will include eight of her most loved animated short films\, selected from over the past 30 years and including the World Premiere of her just completed film “The Battle for Swan Lake” (with cats!). \nHer films range in content through painterly expressions of poetry\, improvised abstraction and animated social documentary\, with her clever wit and humor always close at hand. Working directly before the camera\, she applies bits of clay\, blends colors and etches fine lines to create a seamless flow of images\, that are\, in turns\, both lyrical and surprising. \nPlease join us for a World Premiere of her newest film and retrospective of her remarkable work. \nTickets are $15 available on Eventbrite or by calling (831) 624-7491.  \n\nWatch video film trailer:  https://vimeo.com/789873987 \n \n\nThis program has been generously sponsored by Hofsas House Hotel in Carmel by the Sea hofsashouse.com and by Designer Wallcoverings designerwallcoverings.com\n\n\nFilms in Order of Presentation\n \nMona Lisa Descending the Staircase: An animated history of 20th century painting. Academy Award\nfor best animated short film. 1992 – 7 min. \n \nKubla Khan: An animated painting based on Samuel Taylor Coleridges’ poem. 2011 – 3 min. 42 sec. \n \nLost and Found: Life’s passages are evoked in metamorphosing clay images. 2012 – 3 min. 35 sec. \n \nPro and Con: An animated documentary about life in prison from the point of view of a corrections\nofficer and an inmate.1992 – 8 min. \n \nSecond Coming: An animated film based on a poem by William Butler Yeats. 2017 – 2 min 20 sec. \n \nOne Minute Memoir: A Gratzfilm compilation of 10 very short films by contemporary animators including\nBill Plympton and Chris Hinton 2019 – 16 min 30 sec. \n \nNo Leaders Please: An animated film based on a poem by Charles Bukowski. 2021 – 2 min 19sec. \n \nThe Battle for Swan Lake: A World Premiere! 2023 – 3 min. \n\nJoan Gratz Biography\nJoan Gratz \n\n\nWhile an architecture student at the University of Oregon in the late 1960’s\, Joan began experimenting with the idea of animation by capturing her painting process on film and then projecting the results\, “making her paintings appear to breath.”\n \nIn 1979\, on the recommendation from two of Joan’s architecture school friends who were working at the animation start-up\, “Will Vinton Studios”\, Joan was hired to join the team and play a large part in the successes that followed.\n \nIt was here that she adapted her animated painting to the “Claypainting” process for which she is now known. While there\, her work included design and animation for the Academy Award nominees\, “Return to Oz”\, “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Creation” (which landed her a United Airlines television commercial\, with more to follow.)\n\n \n\nBy 1987\, Joan started her own company\, “Gratzfilm”. Here she could focus on projects and collaborations of her own making\, while also freelancing with Will Vinton when the timing worked for her.\n \nIn 1992\, Joan found herself on stage accepting the Oscar for the Best Animated Short\, “Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase\,” a 7 minute film chronicling the history of 20th century art. Joan had spent 5 years (while working on other projects) to fully develop the idea for this film and collect the perfect 55 images to eventually blend seamlessly together. And then she spent another two years dedicated to painting it all by hand\, in clay\, one frame at a time.\n \nMulti-award winning director of short animated films and commercials\, Joan  has traveled along with her films to Russia\, Iran\, Croatia\, France\, China\, Hungary\, Romania\, Brazil\, Korea\, Turkey\, Bosnia\, Canada\, Poland\, throughout the U.S. and now to Carmel by the Sea!\n  \n\n\nFor more information about Joan\, please visit her website at  www.joangratz.com

SUMMARY:Square the Circle
DESCRIPTION:Closing Reception: Saturday\, February 18th from 3:00 – 5:00p.m. \nSquare the Circle\, an exhibit investigating geometric forms in art and photography\, opens Friday\, January 13th at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. A closing reception for the artists will be held Saturday\, February 18th from 3 to 5 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nCurated by Martha Manson\, the exhibition includes recent works by Kimm Barnes\, Lucas Blok\, Mary Buskirk\, Annette Corcoran\, Ed Corpus\, Rick Deragon\, Ellen Gust\, Mary Hill\, Don Hughes\, Andrea Johnson\, David Ligare\, Richard Mayer\, Karen Nagano\, Joe Aki Ouye\, Marcia Perry\, Charles Strong \, Jerry Takigawa\, Pamela Takigawa\, Sam Tchakalian\, Nina Temple\, Amy Thornberry\, Irene Tuttle\, Jan Wagstaff\, Karen Warwick\, Chris Winfield\, and Robin Winfield. \n“The idea of squaring the circle originated\, apparently\, in Euclidean geometry. It’s a math puzzle\, and was also used to symbolize alchemy. It’s also used as a metaphor to indicate attempting an impossible task\, and philosophically to see equally in four directions. As a phrase\, it covers all the bases\,” says Ms. Manson. “Some of the artists here refer directly to geometry in their imagery. Some do not. Regardless\, the underlying geometric structure is there. Sculpture seems naturally to make geometric forms visible\, sometimes\, at least\,” she says. \nOrganized to examine various styles and themes in art and geometry\, the exhibit explores the relationship between abstraction and form\, the effects of photography on landscapes\, and the consideration of materiality in both mediums. The exhibit reflects the complex and ambiguous relationship between humans and math. \nSquare the Circle can be seen Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. or by appointment through February 18nd\, 2023. \nVISIT ONLINE EXHIBIT \nPictured: “Tomb of Archimedes” – David Ligare

SUMMARY:The Cherry Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Cherry Trio (Elizabeth Gaver – baroque violin\, Penny Hanna – viola da gamba\, Michael Peterson – harpsichord) return to The Cherry for their annual New Year’s performance on Sunday\, January 1st at 3:00pm.  The trio\, along with guest violinist David Wilson\, will perform music from the seventeenth century: trio sonatas by Purcell\, Rosenmüller and Muffat; a Marais suite for viola da gamba; and a harpsichord solo by Fischer. \nThe French\, Italian\, German\, and English styles of this period stand in contrast to one another\, but are also sometimes combined. Typical for the early Baroque period\, these works express a wide range of “affects” or emotions – the melancholy adagio\, stately allemande\, exuberant passacaglia and much more! \nTickets are $25\, available on eventbrite.com or by calling (831) 624-7491. \n

It produces trailblazing animated works both in its Montreal studios and across the country\, and it works with many of the world’s leading creators on international co-productions. \nThe length of this program is 85 minutes.There is no charge for admission to this event\, but donations to the Cherry are always appreciated.

Silents: Before Movies Talked is a multi-media show all about the romance of the silent screen\, the stars\, the directors\, the legends\, few of whom have survived into a new century\, but so many others who are still with us in appreciation and memory. \nOur narrator\, a spritely former screen actress of the ‘20s\, will be our guide through the fabulous years of the silent silver screen. Won’t you join us for a return to the movies where the car chases were fun\, the cops were called Keystone\, the girls were known as vamps\, and the music came from an old upright piano in the pit.  What a swell show! \n\n\n\nSilents:Before Movies Talked opens Friday\, June 17th through Sunday\, July 3\, 2022. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30PM; Sunday matinees at 2:00PM. Tickets are $30\, available by calling (831) 717-7373.

SUMMARY:The Most Beautiful Mistake You Can Make
DESCRIPTION:The Most Beautiful Mistake You Can Make\, an exhibit exploring errors\, omissions and faults in art\, opens Friday\, June 3rd at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. A reception for the artists will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The Cherry Center is located at the corner of 4th and Guadalupe\, Carmel. \nThe exhibit intends to emphasis how random errors can become an artistic catalyst to an aesthetically complete work of art.  In some folk art traditions artists insert “intentional” errors into handmade textiles as a gesture to the perfection of divinity—or\, at least\, the imperfection of humans. In the Japan\, the practice of “kintsugi” (gold splicing) uses errors to enhance ceramics. Instead of discarding marred vessels\, practitioners of the art repair broken items with a golden adhesive that enhances the break lines\, making the piece unique. Abstract Expressionism is built on enhancing and using errors in painting. \nThe exhibit will include recent artwork by Tracey Adams\, Rob Barnard\, Allen D. Carter\, Laurel Farrin\, Judith Foosaner\, Nancy Genn\, Francie Hester\, Barbara Johnson\, Tom Nakashima\, Sammy Peters\, Tony Sheeder\, Mark Tanous\, and The Temple Sisters. \nThe exhibit can be seen Wednesdays through Saturdays\, 12 to 4 p.m. or by appointment through June 25th. Visit online exhibit HERE. \nPictured: “Kintsugi” – Tracey Adams\,  Encaustic\, Collage and Japanese Papers on Panel\, 45 in. x 45 in.

SUMMARY:Mountains and Waters Without End
DESCRIPTION:Mountains and Waters Without End\, an exhibit celebrating western landscape\, opens Friday\, April 8th at Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. Comprised of approximately 20 paintings\, the exhibit will include recent work by Margaret Rinkovsky and Jan Wagstaff. A reception for the artists will be held Friday\, April 8th from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nOrganized to explore various time periods\, styles\, and themes in landscape painting\, Mountains and Rivers Without End investigates the relationship between abstraction and landscape painting\, the effects of photography on landscapes and the examination of the materiality in painting. The exhibit brings together two artists who have been working with landscape and may lack conventional aesthetic hooks of expression\, narrative\, and beauty. However\, these paintings are powerful aesthetic statements that reflect the complex and ambiguous relationship between humans and the environment—a relationship of particular importance here in the West. \nThe exhibit can be seen Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. through May 14\, 2022. \nVISIT ONLINE EXHIBIT  \nPictured: “Along the River” – Jan Wagstaff \n\nMeet the Artists: \nMargaret Rinkovsky \nMargaret Rinkovsky is a painter currently living in Santa Cruz\, California. She received her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from UCLA. She also holds a Masters of Arts degree in Printmaking and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting\, also from UCLA. Ms. Rinkovsky is the recipient of the prestigious SECA Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, was a nominee to the American Academy of Arts in New York\, and received the Distinguished Artist Award from the Santa Cruz Art League. \nMargaret Rinkovsky’s paintings and drawings are referential to landscapes. For this artist nature serves as the stimulus for her oeuvre\, not as a literal reflection but as a private and personal interpretive experience.  Her work seems to synthesize the “material and spiritual” in nature—where meaning resides in and is communicated by the formal visual elements of painting.” George W. Neubert\, Associate Director\, SFMMA \nJan Wagstaff \nOver the past four decades Jan Wagstaff’s paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries world-wide and acquired for private and public collections around the globe. Her artwork has garnered extensive reviews\, and she has been awarded numerous Artist-in-Residence opportunities\, grants\, fellowships and prizes.  Wagstaff’s imagery derives primarily from nature\, which she renders in oil on canvas. She is especially drawn to marshland grasses\, aspen canopies\, birds in flight\, waterways and reflections. Says Jan\, “As I observe the natural world\, I am ever conscious of how I am experiencing it – how all of my senses play a part in my perception. My work is about seasons\, sounds\, texture\, movement and shapes. It is about blending colors\, subtleties of light and dark\, and things near and far. About seeing and celebrating the ordinary such that it becomes extraordinary. My paintings are visual entertainment but even more\, I hope they encourage viewers to recall places that hold special meaning to them.”

SUMMARY:CANCELLED "Seicento" with The Cherry Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Cherry Center seeks to put the welfare of our audiences first. Due to the rise in Covid cases in Monterey County and the aggressive transmission of the Omicron variant\, the Cherry Center is canceling the performance scheduled for January 2nd.  We apologize for any inconvenience. Ticket holders will be contacted for a full refund. \nThe Cherry Trio (Elizabeth Gaver – baroque violin\, Penny Hanna -viola da gamba\, Michael Peterson – harpsichord) with guest violinist David Wilson will perform music from the seventeenth century on baroque violins\, viola da gamba\, and harpsichord. The program includes trio sonatas by Purcell\, Rosenmüller and Muffat\, a Marais suite for viola da gamba\, and harpsichord solo by Fischer. The French\, Italian\, German\, and English styles of this period stand in contrast to one another in creative ways that are often combined within the same piece. Typical for the early Baroque period\, these works express a wide range of “affects” or emotions – the melancholy adagio\, stately allemande\, exuberant passacaglia and much more! \nThe Cherry Trio has performed at the Cherry Center annually for ten years to welcome the New Year. Unfortunately we couldn’t carry on that tradition last year\, but we are very happy to be together again in 2022! As the concert will be held indoors\, proof of vaccination is required\, as well as mandatory masking while indoors. \n

SUMMARY:MCGives! "Big Idea" 2021
DESCRIPTION:We are writing to invite you to support the energetic role of art and literature in these difficult times. Throughout this season\, we’ve been reflecting on how the arts have taught us to comprehend and perceive. More than just another lens through which to look\, they’ve been a prism\, a means of seeing more deeply. To see through the lens of art is to flush from the deep undergrowth of the self some thought\, feeling\, comprehension\, question or music you didn’t know was in you\, or in the world.  It instructs us how to relax; how to pay attention\, not just to the notes but the silences amid the notes. This is true for discovering some newness of the emotions or uncovering new ideas—which is essentially the mission of the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. That indeed is an enormous idea. Please join us!! \nA contribution through the MCGives! program can increase your gift with generous matching funds. Please add to the contributions of 100% of our Board of Directors and make a contribution by visiting MontereyCountyGives starting Thursday\, November 11th through Friday\, December 31\, 2021.

SUMMARY:A Timeless Spring Online Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:“A Timeless Spring\,” an exhibit exploring the artwork of Mrs. Carl Cherry and Reuben Kadish\, closed September 4th. The exhibit can be seen online through October 31\, 2021. \nVISIT EXHIBIT \nIn the years around World War II\, modernist art produced in the United States was varied in style and subject matter.  Artwork from this era was produced by an increasingly diverse group of artists working in a range of media\, as revealed by the works in the current exhibition. The muscular surrealism and abstract expressionism of Reuben Kadish meets the churning forms of an early WWII-era Carmel art by Mrs. Carl Cherry (Jeanne D’Orge). Focusing on the period of 1935 to 1980\, the exhibit is not a unified conjuring of American modernism\, but rather a cross-section of many-sided–even incompatible–art forms\, media and themes.\nReuben Kadish–painter\, muralist\, printmaker and sculptor–was born in Chicago in 1913. At fourteen he began studying with Lorser Feitelson. Politically outspoken\, Kadish caught the attention of Jackson Pollock and they became friends. Kadish taught at the Pacific Institute of Music & Fine Art and assisted muralist Siqueiros in Mexico and in southern California. During the 1930s\, he was in San Francisco and head of the mural division for the Federal Art Project. During WWII Kadish was an art correspondent for Life magazine. After the war\, he purchased a dairy farm in New Jersey and withdrew from the art world until the late 1950s. Mr. Kadish then took up sculpture and taught at the Cooper Union in NYC. Kadish died in NYC on Sept. 20\, 1992. \nBorn in 1887 in England\, Jeanne D’Orge spent her childhood in Edinburgh\, London\, and Paris. Her book of verse\, Voice in the Circle\, published in 1955\, focuses on her childhood in Europe. After moving to New York in 1906\, D’Orge became associated with “The Others\,” a group of iconoclastic poets that included Marianne Moore\, William Carlos Williams\, and Wallace Stevens. Her poetry was included in the anthology The Others and The Poetry Journal. In 1923 Scribner’s Magazine published her award-winning “Lobos” poems. \nPictured: Untitled Bathers – Reuben Kadish
