DELAPLAINE.ORG | 301.698.0656 BURSTING FORTH Spring inspires a feeling of bursting forth, and this spring the Delaplaine reflects that sentiment! March is annual Youth Art Month, featuring an always-outstanding Frederick County Public Schools All-County Student Art Show (page 5), the 2017 Bettie Award exhibit, and the mustattend family event of the season: Art Carnival (page 26)! As the weather warms, so does the intensity of our programming. Beginning in April, our monthly Art Matters program expands to include “Conversations on Art & Wine” on select Fridays, and Artist Talks on First Saturdays (page 8). First Saturdays are filled with activities for the whole family, from Helen Smith Free Workshops for Kids (page 15) and Creative Outlet (page 14), to our buildingwide exhibits receptions. We’re also looking ahead to summer, with a bus trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the National Museum of the American Indian, on the National Mall in Washington, DC (page 9). Spring is the time to break out of your cocoon and try your hand at a new art medium, or continue in your favorite (page 17). If you’re already looking ahead to those lazy, hazy days of summer for the kids, we have seven weeks of morning and afternoon camps scheduled from June to August (page 10). With several newly renovated and outfitted studios, there’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in art education at the Delaplaine! We hope to see you on May 20 at our annual gala (back cover). This year’s event, Live It Up at the Delaplaine, is inspired by the art of Keith Haring and promises to be our biggest bash yet. Join us for scrumptious food, dance music featuring tunes from the 1980s, an open bar, a silent auction, and more, as we raise the level of fun and funds in support of our educational public programming and Community Outreach. Who knew that supporting the arts and our community could be such a blast? About Our COVER ARTIST For Kate Kinley, photography is a way of processing and deconstructing the everyday. Utilizing both film and digital media, she endeavors to “render the real surreal, to rouse dreams from the mundane.” Kate is a graduate of Walkersville High School and winner of the 2015 Elizabeth Barker Delaplaine Award for Young Artists, where judges were impressed On the cover: Butterfly Crop with her artistic sensibilities, technical abilities, and staging (she uses herself as a model in many of her artworks). Finding inspiration in books and the chaotic, she lives and studies in London, England, where she is working toward an undergraduate degree in English Literature. Above all, Kate hopes “to capture a moment of fleeting stillness amidst the world’s disorder” through her photography. 3 organization has a ‘yardstick’ to reference when determining how to establish new governance practices, kick off new programs, handle conflicts of interest, and ethically and accountably handle day-to-day operations.” “We are extremely pleased to have our accreditation renewed,” states Catherine Moreland, Delaplaine CEO. “It’s not enough for us to meet the minimum bar that’s set—we want to reach the highest.” The renewal process took about 80 hours over five months. “It required detailed examination of all areas of the organization, every single policy and program, really a comprehensive review. Because we do internal reviews regularly and have an outside financial audit yearly, the process was challenging, but not overwhelming.” The Standards application committee and peer reviewers offered several commendations in their report to the Delaplaine, specifically citing elements of strategic planning, strategic partnerships with other local nonprofits, governance and fiduciary responsibility, and board effectiveness. STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE We at the Delaplaine take seriously our responsibility to serve the community, whether in art education or organizational operations. The Delaplaine was recently reaccredited under the Standards for Excellence®, a voluntary program that sets high benchmarks beyond the minimum legal requirements in all areas of nonprofit management, accountability, and transparency. The Standards for Excellence® began as an initiative of Maryland Nonprofits in 1998, and has grown into a national program to assist nonprofits achieve the highest levels of ethics and accountability. Organizations that complete the rigorous application and review process, and demonstrate adherence to the “Standards for Excellence®: An Ethics and Accountability Code for the Nonprofit Sector,” can bear the program’s Seal of Excellence®. The Delaplaine has been accredited since 2003, one of 195 nonprofits, and one of only 11 arts organizations, across 16 states to be accredited in the program. “The program provides a model for how most well-managed and responsibly governed organizations operate,” states Amy Coates Madsen, Standards for Excellence® Director. “The nonprofit sector as a whole benefits because each 4 “In working directly with organizations that are accredited, I’ve seen the practical benefits of accreditation,” explains Melissa Sines, Standards for Excellence® Accreditation Director. “Nonprofits that go through the accreditation process improve their practices around mission-centered work, board engagement, fundraising, and much more. It’s one thing to assess yourself with a checklist of best practices, but the real work of building an organization’s capacity and strength begins when it goes through a third-party review of its policies, procedures, and practices. This continuous improvement process leads to greater confidence in leadership and improves a nonprofit’s ability to meet its mission and advocate for those whom it serves.” Melissa adds, “The Delaplaine is a perfect example of this, as I have seen its leadership from a local perspective as part of the Frederick community.” “The Standards have certainly informed and guided how we operate over the years,” states Catherine. “They provide a framework to help ensure that we never lose sight of why and for whom we exist.” Earning the Standards for Excellence® Seal of Excellence® is one important way that the Delaplaine strives to be the very best it can be—more ethical, more effective, more efficient— for the people it serves. “We want the Delaplaine to be the best—not just the best nonprofit arts center, but the best nonprofit organization—period. We owe that to our supporters, and the whole community.” DELAPLAINE ARTS | SPRING 2017 RECEPTIONS ON FIRST SATURDAYS, 3–5 PM Exhibits Mar 4, Apr 1, May 6 & Jun 3 FREE Admission FEBRUARY 4–MARCH 19 MARCELLA MORGESE On the Wall: Abstract Steel Sculpture Sculpture Imperfect Balance MARCH 4–26 FREDERICK COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ALL-COUNTY STUDENT ART SHOW Works in a variety of media Annual exhibit of student artworks, grades K–12 MARCH 4–26 Snowfall by Natalie Lee MARCH 4–APRIL 30 3RD ANNUAL ELIZABETH BARKER DELAPLAINE AWARD FOR YOUNG ARTISTS EXHIBIT DEBRA MACNEALY Connecting with Nature Photography Works in a variety of media Liquid Geometry MARCH 4–APRIL 30 BRITTANI LOCKE & LAURA GILBERTSON Delaplaine Instructor Showcase Works in a variety of media DELAPLAINE.ORG | 301.698.0656 Brittani Locke 5 Exhibits RECEPTIONS ON FIRST SATURDAYS, 3–5 PM Mar 4, Apr 1, May 6 & Jun 3 FREE Admission APRIL 1–30 AUDREY FARNSWORTH, COURTNEY E.

The nature and placement of the geometry was an intuitive response to the initial loose applications of watercolor. My intention was to allow the loose expressive colors to coexist in equilibrium with the precisely controlled geometric drawing.” MAY 6–28 Lord Pakal's Domain LI-WEN QUACH Spirit of Chinese Brush Painting Chinese watercolor and sumi-e ink Sea Meditation MAY 6–JUNE 18 NATIONAL JURIED EXHIBIT Works in a variety of media Juror: LAURA AUGUSTIN, Curatorial Assistant at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Here It Lies by Nick Hutchings, 2016 NJE Winner 6 DELAPLAINE ARTS | SPRING 2017 RECEPTIONS ON FIRST SATURDAYS, 3–5 PM Exhibits Mar 4, Apr 1, May 6 & Jun 3 FREE Admission MAY 6–JUNE 25 DON JAMES Order from Chaos Digital c-prints “Each winter, I find beauty in the coldest days, when the temperature is low enough to transform water into ice. At Morgan Run, the ice takes on countless unexpected forms, from geometric shapes, to patterns of latticework, to sheets of uniquely shaped bubbles that resemble microscopic life forms.” Waves “Each painting has as its foundation a canvas that has been prepped by my cutting and thoughtfully placing small pieces of fabric on it with matte medium. This technique is labor intensive, with some paintings taking months to complete. As the painting unfolds, I meticulously blend the patterns of cloth with the use of oil paints to bring the images into focus.” JUNE 3–JULY 15 ELAINE FLECK A Textured World Fabric and oil paintings Paris Mime JUNE 3–JULY 23 ANN BOYER Felted Landscapes Fiber art Felt Landscape JUNE 24–JULY 30 WASHINGTON SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE PAINTERS Works in a variety of media Bluebird's Rest by Brenda Kidera DELAPLAINE.ORG | 301.698.0656 7 Satellite Exhibits BRUNSWICK BRANCH LIBRARY In Partnership with Frederick County Public Libraries Sponsored by the Nora Roberts Foundation THURMONT REGIONAL LIBRARY URBANA REGIONAL LIBRARY Palouse by Peter Foiles Zinnia Mandala MARCH–MAY LISA LOUISE SHEIRER Visual Prayers Sunset at Angkor Wat MARCH–MAY FREDERICK CAMERA CLIQUE Members’ Exhibit MARCH–MAY RATHA SOUMPHONTPHAKDY Love and Nature Photography Oil on canvas Digital collage Art Matters Conversations on Art & Wine First Saturday Artist Talks FRIDAYS AT 3 PM SATURDAYS AT 2 PM Our “Conversations on Art & Wine” series continues!

It can come from any number of places, but often it comes through a context of history and culture. Actor and producer Peter Bryant once said, “Art needs to be socialized, and you need a lot of context to understand that, and that doesn’t mean having read a few art history books.” Context helps to inspire. That’s why this summer the Delaplaine is hitting the road on a bus trip to the Smithsonian Institution’s newly opened National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), and the National Museum of the America Indian (NMAI), in Washington, DC. Bus Trip: August 25, 2017 8:30 am–5:30 pm For more information or to register, visit delaplaine.org. The NMAAHC is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. Established in 2003, the museum was completed and officially opened in September 2016 to rave reviews by both scholars and the visiting public. The museum’s collection includes more than 37,000 artifacts and photographs, presented through innovative and interactive exhibits. The NMAAHC operates under four pillars: (1) to provide an opportunity to explore and revel in African American history and culture; (2) to help all Americans see how their stories, histories, and cultures are shaped by global influences; (3) to explore what it means to be an American and share how American values like resiliency, optimism, and spirituality are reflected in African American history and culture; and (4) to serve as a place of collaboration for engagement and preservation of this important history. “Visiting the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture is one DELAPLAINE.ORG | 301.698.0656 of the jewel opportunities for one to partake,” says Norvis Long-Parker, a Delaplaine Board member and one of the museum’s earliest visitors. “It places one in a time machine allowing you to visually 'touch' artifacts, see moments in time that one reads about, and explore the core of the black experience in America. You are enlightened by an array of images from African American culture, including fraternal societies, the Harlem Renaissance, our wars, the Civil Rights movement, religion, and visual arts celebrating the likes of Henry Tanner, Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, and other great artists.” The NMAI, opened in 2004, holds one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of arts and artifacts relating to the history and culture of Native Americans. Its physical space and permanent and changing exhibits combine to provide the sense and spirit of Native America. The museum reflects the diversity and distinctiveness of more than 1,200 tribes and communities from across the hemisphere, spanning more than 12,000 years of history. “With the National Museum of African American History and Culture recently opened, and with some great upcoming exhibits at both museums, it’s a perfect time to experience what they have to offer and bring that inspiration back home,” states Duane Doxzen, Delaplaine Director of Development and Communications. “We encourage our members and others in the community to enjoy this opportunity to visit and be inspired by these museums, without the worry of planning and the DC traffic.” 9 SUMMER ART CAMPS range using historical examples, in-class demos, and one-on-one instruction.

DELAPLAINE.ORG | 301.698.0656 15 Instructor Spotlight BRITTANI LOCKE Brittani Locke has taught at the Delaplaine for about a year, settling in at the arts center after doing a lot of traveling and coming to the realization that she wasn’t invested enough in the arts in her own hometown. She loves working with the Delaplaine’s diverse students, and, between being a regular instructor for the Helen Smith Free Workshops for Kids, ArtStart (preschool Head Start art program), summer camps, and adult workshops, she has plenty of opportunities. A graduate of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, with a BFA, Brittani specializes in printmaking, book arts, and marbled paper, her preferred media. “I love making marbled paper!” declares Brittani. Reflecting the impact of early arts education on her own life, Brittani recalls how she reconnected with the ancient technique after coming across a book she made in school as a child: “We had decorated the inside covers of the book with marbled paper, and I wanted to recreate that memory and try my hand at this art form using professional materials. I fell in love.” She now shares that enthusiasm with children and adults in specialized workshops and other classes. Brittani sees herself as part teacher, part cheerleader in the classroom. “When students are trying out a new skill, I try to be as encouraging as possible. I’ve discovered that so many people doubt themselves when they create,” she says. “I want to break down those barriers and build confidence in my students. Doubts should never keep anyone away from expressing themselves artistically.” Check out the class and camp listings for Brittani’s upcoming classes at the Delaplaine.

Those resources include more than 3,000 art reference books, making it one of the largest free art libraries in Maryland open to the public. “Visitors, students, and instructors use our library to research art and architecture, movements and materials, and the history of art around the globe.” Although the library has been open for many years—owing to the generosity and great efforts of its namesakes, James Etchison, benefactor, and Jean P. Davis, the library’s first volunteer librarian—the “new” library offers even more to those who utilize it. “Students who use the library for information and inspiration will find the sections more clearly marked and the books more accurately shelved,” Virginia explains. “Instructors who pull titles to use as class materials will find a collection that is more relevant to the classes they offer, and parents who wait in the library while their children are in class will find a quieter and more When is an art library more than an art library? When it also serves as an eclectic meeting space! The changes to the library provide the opportunity for outside groups to use the space for meetings and small gatherings. “The library provides a nice venue for groups of 8 to 12,” states Marilyn Orsinger, Delaplaine Director of Facilities and Rentals (pictured). The library has a handsome wood conference table, access to an adjacent kitchenette, and a wall-mounted screen. Installation of a sophisticated Bluetooth-enabled digital screen is on the near horizon. “Whether a group is meeting for training, team-building, planning, or goalsetting, the art library is an oasis away from the office,” says Marilyn. “Surrounded by inspiring books, with art galleries just beyond the door, a beautiful park outside, and restaurants and shops within a few minutes’ walk, meetings take on a special feeling here.” The Delaplaine charges modest fees for the meeting space, which provide income to support its mission-related activities. Whether one is a client or just someone who wanders in to experience a world of art, all are welcome. “All of our visitors are invited to consider it their library,” emphasizes Virginia, “because everyone deserves art.” Etchison-Davis Library Hours The research library generally is open to the public during the Delaplaine’s regular hours of operation.
