“Color-Graphemic gustatory Synesthesia” by Kevin Dayhoff November 24, 2009

Smallwood artist Jerry DeWitt to display critically acclaimed rural farm paintings at Off Track Art in Westminster.


Smallwood artist Jerry DeWitt to display critically acclaimed rural farm paintings at Off Track Art in Westminster.

Show opens with a reception for the artist on Friday, September 7, 2012 at 5:30 to 7:30 at Off Track Art, [http://offtrackart.blogspot.com/] 11 Liberty Street – side entrance in the Liberty Building in historic downtown Westminster. The show will continue through October.

By Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com


Off Track Art is celebrating the art of Jerry DeWitt for its first opening of the fall season on Friday, Sept. 7th, 2012 from 5:30--7:30, to show his beautiful watercolors from a variety of locales including Carroll County.

Mr. DeWitt, a Smallwood, Carroll County Maryland artist, has just returned from Montana and Michigan. Earlier in the year, this past March, Mr. DeWitt was the featured artist in the Babylon Great Hall at Carroll Community College. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/jerry-dewitt-discusses-his-farm.html] The highly successful show was well-received and the opening was packed. It has been reported that Mr. DeWitt sold a large number of painting at the Carroll Community College show…

“Jerry DeWitt was born in Michigan in 1933 and has been painting, primarily watercolors, since his teenage years,” according to information provided by the artist…

“Over 300 paintings hang in homes and businesses from Alaska to Florida. His work has been shown in galleries in Washington, DC; Montana; and Maryland. Mr. DeWitt’s Montana paintings were featured in American Artist magazine. 

“Mr. DeWitt enjoys traveling, and has series of paintings from Maine and from Frederick and Carroll Counties. His subjects are often old farm buildings or homes, as he strives to capture and retain the spirit of American places of the heart.

“Viewers may be drawn to tranquil scenes and transported to a quieter, more peaceful time. He has a special affinity for birds and has painted many species. Jerry has framed many of his paintings in old barn wood, sometimes from the very site portrayed.

“Most notable of these paintings is his award-winning portrait of the Wye Oak, framed in the wood from that famous tree.

According to an article about Mr. DeWitt’s work by critically acclaimed Carroll County artist, photographer, and writer, Phil Grout, “When Jerry DeWitt paints a barn, there's a bit of the gentle clanging of cowbells mixing in with the watercolors. [http://kevindayhoffart.blogspot.com/2012/03/smallwood-artist-jerry-dewitt-draws.html]

“That sound echoes back to his grandfather's Depression-era farm at the end of a lane in Bedford County, Pa. He was just 2 years old when his father left home for good and the youngster was uprooted from Lansing, Mich., to live with his grandparents.

“And in between trips to the pasture to the hand-dug well for another bucket of water, or out to the shed for an arm load of firewood, the sights and sounds and smells of farm life wrapped themselves around Jerry's memory, eventually finding their way to paint and paper more than 30 years later…

After Mr. DeWitt served in the Navy during the Korean War, “became a house carpenter building houses in Maryland and Florida.

“Years later, with his wife, Kris, and four children, Jerry answered his calling — back on the farm, with paints and brushes instead of water bucket and firewood. The family went to Florida for a visit to his wife's parents. Jerry stayed behind in Hagerstown.

“He had a week all to himself. So he went to a five and 10 store in town and bought a set of watercolors and some brushes and then headed out to a barn he'd spotted many times along Interstate-70 on his way to a house construction site.

“DeWitt was 37 when he sat out there on the east side of Cosen's Barn with his new set of paints.

“‘That was it. Time disappeared,’ he says. ‘Something was opening up inside of me, and I could hear those cowbells. I could smell my grandfather's barn.’”

For more information and photographs of Mr. DeWitt and his work, see Phil Grout’s article, “Smallwood artist Jerry DeWitt draws creative inspiration from his farm past,” in the Baltimore Sun on March 17, 2012, about Mr. DeWitt’s work and his well-received and highly successful show at Carroll Community College.

Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: National Governors Association New Engines of Growth http://tinyurl.com/825mo9r


Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle: The #art and culture of economic development part 1 http://tinyurl.com/825mo9r



Kevin E. Dayhoff Art Econ Benefits of Art,

The National Governors Association recently released a new report on the role that community arts, culture, and design play in job creation and economic growth.

The remarkably creative and thoughtful report, New Engines of Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture, and Design, was prepared by the group’s Center for Best Practices, in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies.

The 52-page report itself is an eye-catching and well-designed piece of artwork in its layout and design.

However, even more amazing is that, page-by-page, the report presents a compelling and persuasive case for encouraging community arts and cultural programs, businesses, shops and industry to create economy and jobs – in a manner surprisingly devoid of mind-numbing public policy wonk-speak.

The executive summary of the report states, in part … http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5218

Baltimore Sun – Sloane Brown: Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster


Pictures: What's in Store in Westminster – Off Track Art


Perhaps it's something in the air. But Westminster seems to be a center of creative expression.

Whether it's something created by a local artist or artisan or a home accent carefully chosen by a local business owner, you're sure to find something here that can bring a little self-expression to your home. -- Sloane Brown

What's in Store: Off Track Art
(Sloane Brown, Special to The Baltimore Sun / April 26, 2012 )
Two businesses share this artistic space. Walk in the door and on the left, you'll enter Off Track Art, an artists cooperative which currently shows the work of 10 local artists.

On the right is Carousel Stained Glass, with work mostly by owner Roger Lewis, who also teaches locally and shows the work of his students.

From Off Track Art: a 20-inch-x-22-inch mixed media collage displayed in a 6-panel window, titled “Egg Visions” ($250) by Bob Waddell; a 32-inch-30-inch “Reclining Nude” laminated plywood sculpture by Linda Van Hart; and an 18-inch-x-12-inch red and black patchwork small laundry basket ($150) by nationally acclaimed basket maker Joyce Schaum.

Off Track Art and Carousel Stained Glass are at 11 Liberty St., Westminster.

National Governors Association: Governors Look To Arts, Culture, And Design To Boost Economic Growth


GOVERNORS LOOK TO ARTS, CULTURE AND DESIGN TO BOOST ECONOMIC GROWTH

NGA Report Focuses on New Engines of Growth

April 30, 2012

WASHINGTON—With concerns over job creation and business growth holding a prominent—and persistent—position on policy agendas today, governors are increasingly finding innovative ways to support economic growth, according to a new report out today from the National Governors Association (NGA).

New Engines of Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture, and Design focuses on the role that arts, culture and design can play in governors’ policies to create jobs and boost their economies in the short run and transition to an innovation-based economy in the long run.

In particular, arts, culture and design can assist states with economic growth because they can serve the following roles: 

Provide a fast-growth, dynamic industry cluster;

Help mature industries become more competitive;

Provide the critical ingredients for innovative places;

Catalyze community revitalization; and

Deliver a better-prepared workforce.

“Economic growth is a top priority for all governors,” said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a member of NGA’s Executive Committee. “They are using an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach throughout all state agencies to put in place policies and programs using arts, culture and design as a means to enhance economic growth.

Globalization and the changing economy have affected individual states differently, but all are searching for ways to support high-growth industries, accelerate innovation, foster entrepreneurial activity, address unemployment, build human capital and revive distressed areas. Using the five roles as a framework, state leaders—governors, economic development officials and state arts agencies—have a way to intentionally and strategically make arts, culture and design an important part of an economic growth agenda.

“As I travel across this country, I have found one thing to be true in state after state: art works,” said NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman. “The National Governor's Association has laid out 5 strategies currently employed by states to use the arts to help strengthen local economies and drive innovation. I look forward to working with our network of state arts agencies to support governors in this work.”

This report was produced by NGA with funding support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Its members are the governors of the 55 states, territories and commonwealths. NGA provides governors and their senior staff members with services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the Administration on key federal issues to developing and implementing innovative solutions to public policy challenges through the NGA Center for Best Practices.
