Summer Arts Festival 2010
Wanted: interesting kids ages 5 to 15. Must like to make things & be full of ideas. Sign up to make bracelets, create paintings, master calligraphy, build a book from scratch, needle your way through a bunch of fabric or turn broken sticks into snazzy dolls at our free workshops.

WELLSVILLE ART ASSOCIATION NEWS
The Wellsville Art Association has decided to incorporate new and exhibition information with the Allegany Arts Association newsletter. We will purchase ads about our upcoming shows (see below) and entry forms will not be mailed but will be available at the David A. Howe Library. Please put these dates on your 2009 calendar and help us continue the wonderful art shows we enjoy exhibiting. In the future, PLEASE pick up your art work immediately after the shows, as Jamie Kull’s excellent (huge!) “Water Buffalo” painting was destroyed when the school show was hung after ours last month, a loss we deeply regret.
Call 585-593-3575 for more information. Thank you. Karen Dickerson, President
DONATION TO ALFRED U CHAMBER SINGERS
Senior members of the Alfred University Chamber Singers receive a check prior to their April 18 concert at Alfred.

The Singers, led by Conductor extraordinaire Dr. Luanne Crosby, along with the Alfred University Chorus filled the acoustically perfect space at the 7th Day Baptist Church with glorious vocal music that evening. The audience stood and applauded until a rousing encore was heard. The Chamber Singers plan additional fund-raising events in the coming year. Donations will be gratefully accepted. Checks may be made out to Alfred University, with “Chamber Singers Tour” in the memo line, and sent to Alfred University, Alfred, NY 14802.

Brought me by cat, proud, generous.
So tiny ye be,
A few days only,
Into this world of innocent brutality.
IF TREES COULD TALK
by Christopher S. Clow 2009( 4th prize)
If trees could talk, would they mourn the genocide of their kin?
Would their leaves weep salt-laden dew and, In turn, saturate the ground water to bring
about a desolation of land and sky?
If trees could talk, would they berate humanity for our blatant,
selfish misuse of the Earth and all Her resources?
Some trees are known to have lived five to ten thousand years or
more—far longer
Than most civilizations, and all the while freely absorbing nitrogen,
Soaking in the carbon dioxide, and generously providing much
needed oxygen.
Yet, still, we render tropical and arboreal forests barren of old
growth, void of sanctuary
For other life, and escalate the greenhouse effect while denying
its very existence.
If trees could talk, would they cry, “Mercy!”?

PHOTOGRAPHER RICHARD BURKE PLANS ONE-MAN SHOWS
Allegany Arts Association Board member, Richard Burke will present a show of his outstanding photographs at the Barnes & Noble Cafe, 614 South Meadow Street, Ithaca, NY from June 1 through 27, 2009. The opening Reception will be held June 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. at
the Café.
Burke’s work will also be on exhibit at the Wellsville Creative Arts Center the month of July, with an Opening Reception July 3 beginning at 6 p.m. The public is invited to both shows and receptions.
Speaking about his work, Richard says his current inspiration is the “peeling paint, shadows, silence and internal landscapes of the former Poorhouse in Angelica.”
He said his “telling of the story I am hearing and seeing creates a ghostly Landscape for memory and imagination”; and we think his photographs will surely capture your imagination too. A prolific artist and constant supporter of the arts, Burke’s genius is in his eye for photographs of the beautiful, the unusual and the unexpected.
In addition to his recent photographs, Burke will show earlier unpublished work from his several-year hiatus in Hawaii. The Cattaraugus County Arts Council featured Richard Burke in its January/February 2009 Newsletter and he was featured artist at a one-man show at The Fountain Arts Center Gallery in Belmont in 2007.

SUMMER ARTS FESTIVAL —2009
Ignore the rain and dandelions. Think of summer. School will be out and lots of younger people will be looking for company and activity. Think art. Think free art classes. Think Allegany Arts Association’s continuing effort to get art classes into many communities in Allegany County.
This summer’s plans are underway. Greg Shelley’s off-off Broadway program will sparkle again in Belmont. Carol Riggs of Cakes and Curios will offer an artistic experience in cookie decorating and candy making in Cuba. Elaine Hardman and Kailee Lamphier plan an opportunity to create miniature clay animals in Wellsville. Meredith Chilson is scheduled to teach Sewing in Belmont while Linda Monsell will offer rock painting in Little Genesee. Kathy Hamilton is ready to help make garden stepping stones in Friendship. To make a stick doll sign up to work with Betsy Orlando in Belmont and explore improvisation in Fillmore with Barbara Sandberg-Morgan. If you have a guitar, experience lessons from Tony Musingo, Choral Music Director in Belmont, or join program coordinator Kristen Vossler-Wigent to make bracelets in Scio.
The Allegany Arts Association is a county-wide organization trying to stretch its arms to the corners of the county. If you’ve an idea for a class or a skill to share, please call Kristen Vossler-Wigent at 585-268-5891. That’s also the number to call if your children want to take any of the classes. Age restrictions may apply.
The AAA classes are short—3 to 6 meetings of an hour or 90 minutes in length. Sometimes there’s a show or recital at the end. Teachers can choose an age range (between 5 and 20), class size, location and date in July or August. Locations should be handicapped accessible.
If you have an idea or a request for a class, let us know and check our blog for irregular updates - www.AlleganyArtsAssociation.blogspot.com.

WELLSVILLE ART ASSOCIATION NEWS
The Wellsville Art Association has decided to incorporate new and exhibition information with the Allegany Arts Association newsletter. We will purchase ads about our upcoming shows (see below) and entry forms will not be mailed but will be available at the David A. Howe Library. Please put these dates on your 2009 calendar and help us continue the wonderful art shows we enjoy exhibiting. In the future, PLEASE pick up your art work immediately after the shows, as Jamie Kull’s excellent (huge!) “Water Buffalo” painting was destroyed when the school show was hung after ours last month, a loss we deeply regret.
Call 585-593-3575 for more information. Thank you. Karen Dickerson, President
DONATION TO ALFRED U CHAMBER SINGERS
Senior members of the Alfred University Chamber Singers receive a check prior to their April 18 concert at Alfred. The check represents proceeds from their successful Valentine’s Day Concert with which the Allegany Arts Association helped. The funds will be used for the Chorus’s planned 2010 European Tour.
The Singers, led by Conductor extraordinaire Dr. Luanne Crosby, along with the Alfred University Chorus filled the acoustically perfect space at the 7th Day Baptist Church with glorious vocal music that evening. The audience stood and applauded until a rousing encore was heard. The Chamber Singers plan additional fund-raising events in the coming year. Donations will be gratefully accepted. Checks may be made out to Alfred University, with “Chamber Singers Tour” in the memo line, and sent to Alfred University, Alfred, NY 14802.

I have not the heart to close your eyes,
small mouse
Brought me by cat, proud, generous.
So tiny ye be,
A few days only,
Into this world of innocent brutality.
IF TREES COULD TALK
by Christopher S. Clow 2009( 4th prize)
If trees could talk, would they mourn the genocide of their kin?
Would their leaves weep salt-laden dew and, In turn, saturate the ground water to bring
about a desolation of land and sky?
If trees could talk, would they berate humanity for our blatant,
selfish misuse of the Earth and all Her resources?
Some trees are known to have lived five to ten thousand years or
more—far longer
Than most civilizations, and all the while freely absorbing nitrogen,
Soaking in the carbon dioxide, and generously providing much
needed oxygen.
Yet, still, we render tropical and arboreal forests barren of old
growth, void of sanctuary
For other life, and escalate the greenhouse effect while denying
its very existence.
If trees could talk, would they cry, “Mercy!”?
