IT'S FESTIVAL TIME!


 

This year's Wilsonville Festival of Arts is a very special year.  Our theme of "Upcycled & Recycled" has brought us special artists, entertainers, and activities to delight us all.  Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce is starting us off with the Second Annual Parade, "Junk to Funk" following along with theme.  There will be special recycled floral artist, Christopher Reitmaier, creating an onsite Mandella made from discarded florist goods and other recycled materials.  We have Janet Julian with us this year to work with children creating musical instruments and other crafts, and they will enjoy their own parade at 3:15 on Saturday.  Joining us again is the Kiwanis Key Club with more crafts with kids.  Hector Hernandez will be conducting the final phase of the Community Art Project for installation in the Visitor's Center.  And, special this year, is a Silent Auction with donations from over 30 artists and also some of our valued sponsors.  The stage entertainment lineup is superb, ending with "Recycleman and the Dumpster Divers", Sunday at 4:00 pm.

This Newsletter edition will highlight many of the events.  Be sure and join us.  You will be delighted!

Wilsonville High Art Students
Step Up In View Of Harsh Budget Cuts
By Jane Crotteau

Red.  Orange.  Yellow.  Green.  Blue.  These colors represent everything that encompasses our society.  Through the coming months, the students at Wilsonville High School fear that the colors that paint this world around us may disappear: a light blown out, one struck by budget cuts that strip our school of all hopes for a brighter and more colorful future. 

By founding the Arts In Our Hearts Foundation, the students within Wilsonville's very own community will raise money for the music, visual, and drama programs at their high school. This will allow these things so precious to us to continue to blossom and grow. 

At the Wilsonville Festival of Arts this coming June 5th and 6th, our foundation of young minds will be auctioning off student art work, music, and books – our attempt at raising money and raising hopes for the future – a future illuminated by color. 

PLEASE … come and support your community, your children's education, your children's form of expression.

The Wilsonville Festival of Arts is providing the Arts In Our Hearts Foundation with a booth next to the Student Art Pavilion.  They will have a live auction on stage Saturday, June 5th right after the Wilsonville/West Linn school district ‘Trashion Show’ which begins at 3:30 pm

They will also have various pieces in the Festival's Silent Auction Saturday and Sunday, located inside the Visitor's Center.

Arts In Our Hearts

Can you hear us?
Can you hear the music flowing from our hearts?
The spectrum of sound bellowing from our veins?

Can you see us, read the stories we paint,
the words etched in our skin,
Whiteness the dedication founded in our bones?

Can you feel us?
Sense our emotions pressing against you side,
The meaning behind the individuals we portray,
The lines that erupt from our very being.

And can you understand us;
Comprehend our desires for creativity,
Our cravings for self expression,
Our hopes Our dreams.

    Here at Wilsonville High School, no here in the city,
in the community of Wilsonville we know that the arts matter, that patience, that dedication, that family ties matter.  Over the next coming months danger in the form of bullets fired from the guns of budget cuts will smother America.  Shots that will possibly strike the arts program right here in our dear society, shackling the foundation of the arts community, through the heart of educational system.

     With the assistance of the "Arts In Our Hearts Foundation" the student body at the Wilsonville High School hopes to support the perhaps crumbling art program and allow it to once again blossom.  Through donations, book sales, and auction as well as other proceeds collected at the Wilsonville Festival of Arts, our foundations prays to keep the arts and every form of expression in our community alive, breathing not only throughout our own generations, but in yoars to come.  Help us achieve our goal, help the body and soul of the arts survive, and allow it to continue to pump the beauty of world through all of us.

Wilsonville Theater Company


Frogpond Grange ~ 27350 Stafford Rd. ~ Wilsonville OR 97070


The Wilsonville Theater Company is a community theater group based in Wilsonville, Oregon, about 20 miles south of Portland. We encourage anyone with an interest in theater to get involved. And, plan to come see a live performance soon!

See video briefs of our performances in Booth #5 and catch our performance contest
on the Festival stage Saturday at 2:50 p.m.

www.wilsonvilletheatercompany.org/

 

The Wilsonville Theater Company (WTC) will host a booth at the upcoming arts festival.  Stop by (booth #5) to show off your dramatic or comedic talents.  We will have a mini-stage and attendees will be recorded delivering a “one-liner” to show off your talent.  Your performance will be posted on our website so if you are a budding thespian (of any age) this is your chance to show off.

There will also be videos of our past performances running on both days in case you didn’t have the chance to see them performed live.

We will have some time on the main stage on Saturday so you will want to come by and be entertained by some of the members of the company doing short comic skits.  I guarantee there will be some real “knee slappers” to keep you giggling. 

Be on the look out next October 15 and 16 for our next production, “Who’s on First” at the Frogpond Grange.  It is a hilarious comedy about two couples stuck in a never ending party. It is a wacky cast of characters you won’t want to miss.

For more information on WTC please go to our website www.wilsonvilletheatercompany.org. or call President, Mary Ann Creason at 503-582-1829 or e-mail at mcreason@gmail.com.  

See you at the arts festival.

Fund Arts & Culture in
Wilsonville by purchasing a
Wilsonville Arts & Culture
Council Savings Card
 

Wilsonville Arts
& Culture Council

Bringing the Wilsonville
Community the best in

Music, art, theater

and literature.

 Promoting and supporting Arts and Culture
in Wilsonville;
to provide access to arts and culture
to all people in Wilsonville

The WA&CC Membership Savings card is only $35 and is good for one year from your date of issue.  Go to www.wilsonvillecard.org to see a sample of the savings or visit our website at www.WilsonvilleArts.org.

 

 

To:  Wilsonville area businesses:

We would like to introduce you to an advertising opportunity for your business, and at the same time support arts & culture in Wilsonville.  The Wilsonville Arts & Culture Council (WA&CC) is working with FunDAZ in a fundraising venture.  FunDaz’s goal is to help fund schools and other programs by giving consumers discounts on products they use every day.  Merchants win with customers being drawn to their doors.  At this time we are able to offer merchants FREE advertising.  Merchants will be listed on the FunDAZ website for WA&CC. They will also be listed on the FunDaz national site.

WA&CC is making an impact on the Wilsonville Community and beyond.  The Council’s mission is to promote and support arts and culture by providing a structure where Wilsonville area arts and culture organizations can work together.  WA&CC’s signature event, Wilsonville Festival of Arts, has just celebrated its 10th. anniversary.  We are a partner for many other events in the community such as The NW Author’s Series and Book Notes Concert Series—both at the library, and the Wilsonville Theater Company operating at the Frogpond Grange.

 What we would like to have happen is for the business community of Wilsonville to become involved in supporting arts and culture. With this no-cost-for-participation opportunity, as a FunDaz merchant, all that is asked is to provide the best discount you have for card holders, ie: regular “dinner 2 for 1” could be “dinner 2 for 1 plus a free drink”.   We understand this may take some creative thinking for some business discounts.  Feel free to look at the website www.wilsonvillecard.org to get an idea, then, let your creative juices flow.

 In the current economic climate, traditional grant funding organizations are cutting back and WA&CC is feeling the effect. It is more important than ever that we build our membership base.  We need your help. 

There are many ways to become a Sponsor.  One way is to become a supporting sponsor with the FunDaz savings card.  Business can support WA&CC with a bulk purchase and utilize the cards for employee incentives, birthdays, Christmas gifts, or for special customer appreciation. We can create a custom package to meet your needs.

 The savings card is good for one year from the date of issue. To become a FunDaz merchant and support the Wilsonville Arts & Culture Council, contact Kate Atkins, Membership Coordinator, at 503-692-8653 or
kateatkins@wilsonvilearts.org.  She can also develop a personalized package for your business.

Joke Du Jour

Recycling?

Trying to do my share to help the environment, I set up a trash basket at my church and posted above it this suggestion: "Empty water bottles here."

I should have been a little more specific, because when I went to check it later, I didn't find any bottles in it. But it was full of water.
