| Dear
Friends of fresh
art:
Thanks
so much for your generous support over this past year of successful
transition.
We are very proud of what we were able to accomplish and we have
you to thank for your continued belief in the mission of fresh
art. Your donations, service and moral
support have been invaluable. With your help, we mounted two large,
dynamic group exhibitions and produced six engaging workshops for
at risk youth and seniors. We also presented an informative copyrighting
workshop for teachers and art therapists, a helpful "How
to Photograph Your Artwork" presentation for artists with
special needs and started up the terrific sock monkey volunteer
group.
For the coming year of 2004-2005, we are very pleased to be co-curating
with HAI (Hospital
Audiences Inc.) "Contemporary Outsider Art in America:
Survey 2005". Opening January 12, 2005 and running through
March 15th, the exhibition will feature work by untrained artists
with mental disabilities from around the United States. On view
at the same time as the Outsider Art Fair, this exhibition will
provide a much needed look at art work created by contemporary outsider
artists, many connected with non-profit organizations, that rarely
have the chance to exhibit their work.
Make it a point to attend our opening on January 12th. And if you
are an artist with a mental disability and would like an application,
please go to: www.hospaud.org,
click on "outsider exhibition", scroll to the end
of the page and download the pdf file. The deadline for slides or
photographic submissions is October 1st.
Our workshops this fall promise to be equally engaging. Partnering
with a new collaborator, The Lower East Side Girls Club, we will
be producing a workshop for teenage girls, titled Fresh Reflections.
This workshop will combine Polaroid transfer photography, poetry
and bookbinding.An end of the semester event is planned for early
December at the Bowery Poets Club.
The senior's workshop at Caring Community's Independence Plaza North
facility will be Painting Under Glass, an intriguing technique
that combines decoupage and painting. We also have plans to start
a fine arts workshop with Common Ground at one of their residences.
Our sock monkey volunteer group, hand-sewing sock monkey dolls to
sell to benefit fresh
art's fine art and craft workshops, will
include a series of evening workshops in October for residents of
one of Bowery Residents Committee's residences. We also plan a sock
monkey funder for May 2005. Visit us periodically for updates on
our activities.
We also wish to thank our funders, without whom, it would have been
close to impossible to accomplish what we did this past year. Thank
you to the Werner and Elaine Dannheisser Trust, Rush Philanthropic
Arts Foundation, Edith and Herbert Lehman Foundation, Manhattan
Community Arts Fund (LMCC), NYU Community Fund. And thanks again
to all of you!

Hello fresh
art friends and supporters,
Great news!
Since early July fresh
art has been transitioning into our new
donated office space in our adopted home at HAI (Hospital
Audiences Inc.) in SoHo. Although we miss our gallery/gift
shop on West 4th Street, the freedom from the financial burden
of rent in these lean times (we love you HAI), has enabled us
to take on three part time employees. Jeremy, Tritia and I will
continue providing the programming of art workshops and exhibitions
for New York City artists with special needs for another year
and hopefully, for years to come.
We miss fresh
art’s Founder and former Executive
Director, Wendy Grossman Warlick who has relocated with her family
to Oklahoma. Through the wonders of modern technology, Wendy remains
an intregal part of fresh
art via her continued participation on
The Board of Directors and as a much-appreciated advisor to our
new staff.
So we’re
hitting the pavement running by opening a new exhibition on October
16th at HAI. The exhibition is entitled "People, Places,
Things" and will feature portraits, landscapes and still
lifes from six of our participating social service agencies. Our
three fine art and craft workshops for seniors and at-risk-youth
are in the final planning stages for the fall semester. We’re
enthusiastic about our upcoming activity schedule starting in
September.
Please
make a point to join us at our exhibition opening on October 16th
from 6-8 pm. Also if you would like to make a monetary contribution
to fresh
art, it would be most appreciated since
we’re still struggling in these difficult times. Anyone who
would like to volunteer their time to help out on special projects,
please send us an email.
Thanks for your continued support. We’ve been getting by
with a whole lot of help from our friends! We look forward to
seeing you soon!
–
Suzanne Kreps
Executive Director

Dear Friends
of fresh
art,
We are sorry to report
that due to funding difficulties, fresh
art had to cut overhead costs and move
out of our gallery, gift shop and office space on West 4th Street.
We left the space on April 30, 2003.
While it was sad for
us to leave our first home, it was also necessary for us to do
so. These are difficult times for many non-profit organizations
today. So many of us have had to make sacrifices in order to survive
and be here to carry out the important work we all do.
We feel lucky to have so many great memories of our space--of
artists seeing their work up for the first time in our gallery;
of artists sharing their techniques at our art openings; of sales
of Emily Rankin’s teddy bears, Dana Ditullio’s necklaces,
Shirley Birnbaum’s spoonrests, and BronxGear’s silk
scarves in our gift shop; of sock monkey doll sewing circles,
and of making so many new friends who visited us over the past
year-and-a-half.
fresh
art existed before we had this space,
and despite some obstacles, we are working hard to keep what we
do alive. Thank you for visiting us. Please continue to visit
us on-line, and feel free to drop us a line at
info@freshartnyc.org.

the creation of our Business Plan. He has stayed with us ever since,
