2011 CSAG Scholar Award Winners

Posted on by Laurianne Macdonald

June 2011 President’s Message/Laurianne Macdonald

Most of our residents and even some of members do not realize that the Coral Springs Artist Guild has been around for almost 40 years. Established in 1973, the nonprofit organization has seen its share of ups and downs, and gone through many changes. The one thing that has stayed the same is its dedication to sharing and inspiring. For the last 25 years the guild has sponsored an annual juried art competition for the Coral Springs graduating seniors. One student from each high school receives a cash scholar award, certificate of achievement, and a year’s honorary membership to the Coral Springs Artist Guild. They must present a portfolio to the judges in April or May and one talented student is picked from each school.

This year’s winners are as follows;

John Cavanough from Coral Springs High School

Maxine Gleiberman from Marjory Stoneman Douglas

Taylor Hollander from Coral Springs Charter

Trisha McCutchen from Coral Glades High School

Anna Waurzyniak from J.P. Taravella

I would like to thank all our judges, Loretta Herman, Lester Wolfe, Al Rosenfeld, Eleanor & Robert Richter, and Candy & John Childrey, for their dedication to the worthy cause. I’d also like to welcome our new board members, Robert Grauer and Raymond Rivera. They are talented artists, bringing enthusiasm and new ideas to our guild and the board.

Have a great summer! The board members will not meet again until the last week of August, but please remember to work on a submission for the Coral Springs Festival of Arts Signature Artist competition. Entries are due by September 15th.

Life on The Reef – Ocean Commotion in the park

Posted on by Laurianne Macdonald

Sunday afternoon, June 12th from 1 – 3. Bring a picnic and plan to spend the afternoon relaxing in a comfy chair with other writers and friends on the huge veranda on the front of the Visitor’s Center of Biscayne National Park. What a great way to start the summer.

Janeen Mason writes and illustrates award-winning children’s picture books, including Ocean Commotion: Life on the Reef and Ocean Commotion: Sea Turtles! Original art from her many books forms the core of a new exhibit in Biscayne National Park’s Dante Fascell Visitor Center Gallery. Drawn to the Sea opens on Friday, June 10 and runs through Sunday, September 11, with two “Meet the Artist” opportunities: a reception with refreshments, a silent auction, readings and book signings from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, and children’s art activities, readings and book signings coinciding with the park’s celebration of the National Park Service’s 95th birthday from 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, August 21. The Gallery, located at 9700 SW 328 Street, near Homestead, Florida, is open seven days a week from 9-5. Admission is free.

“Children’s picture books are a primary source of inspiration which have enormous consequence in our culture,” says Mason. “They provide the introduction to a lifetime of creative imagination and appreciation for the arts. This is powerful juju in a landscape of ever accelerating technology.”

Mason’s books have won numerous awards, including the Ben Franklin Award (silver), the U.S. Maritime Literature Award (gold), the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award (gold), the Mom’s Choice Award, the iParenting Award. Mason has received a Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Award from the Arts Council of Stuart and Martin County. Her large scale fine art hangs in the collections of Burt Reynolds, Reba McEntire, Evan Lloyd and S. Kent Rockwell. Ms. Mason was recently featured with the MacArthur Award Winner, Dr. Edith Widder, on NOVA Science Now.

Mason is active in the arts, recently finishing her second term as a member of the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, as the Vice Chairman. In April, She was appointed by Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning to the Board of Directors of Citizens for Florida Arts. Memberships include the Board of Directors for the Arts Council of Stuart and Martin County, the Board of Directors of The Friends of the Blake Library of Stuart, Inc., the International Reading Association, the Florida Reading Association, and the Children’s Book Council. As the Illustrator Coordinator for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators in Florida for five years, she created and produced annual “Illustrator Intensives” for nationally known contemporary children’s book illustrators working as guest instructors in small workshops.

Drawn to the Sea is part of the park’s Community Artists Program, started in 1997 as an outlet for the works of both established and emerging artists who are inspired by the beauty of Biscayne National Park. The program is made possible by the South Florida National Parks Trust through the generosity of Sedano’s Supermarkets and the Miami-Dade County Division of Cultural Affairs and the Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners.
