Held by Ashtabula Yacht Club, this year's Regatta featured 18 boats on a course started by the United States Coast Guard--an Ashtabula first! The Regatta is the only fundraiser conducted by the AYC. Area businesses and individuals generously made monetary pledges to sponsor boats in the race with the proceeds wholly benefiting the Arts Center. This year, approximately $4000 was raised. A party for sponsors, skippers and crew was sponsored by Scot Sinkler and Janney Montgomery Scott at the Ashtabula Yacht Club following the race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Overall winner of the event:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;"Kahuna" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;skippered by Bob Anderson &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sponsored by Nevin Hoeffert &amp;amp; Deli in the Rye&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other winners and their division include:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;PERFORMANCE HANDICAPPED RACING FLEET &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2nd place - "Whistle" skippered by Jim Laird &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sponsored by Harbor Realty &amp;amp; Jack Lundi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3rd place - "Ten Spot" skippered by Terry Persily &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sponsored by Ten Spot Syndicate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;JAM (JIB AND MAIN)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;1st place - "Epiphysis" skippered by Jeff Brodsky &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sponsored by Ashtabula Orthopaedics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;2nd place - "Red Dog" skippered by Art Benson &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sponsored by Dave Hamilton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;3rd place-- "Hanalei" skippered by Bill Shinskey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Sponsored by Koski Construction Co. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the winners, others sailing in the event were "Pinafore" skippered by Carl Anderson and sponsored by Grand River Rubber; “Traveller" skippered by Bob Lee and sponsored by Phyllis &amp;amp; Eugene Duffy; "Talaria" skippered by Jim Cozy and sponsored by Community Counseling Center; "Balisage" skippered by Jim LaPierre and sponsored by Raymond Builders; "Green Flash" skippered by Bob Brandenstein and sponsored by Bob &amp;amp; Jane Brandenstein; "Night Music" skippered by Bill Bobulsky and sponsored by Bill &amp;amp; Kathy Bobulsky; "Macallan" skippered by Bruce Robson and sponsored by Andover Bank; "Antidote" skippered by Tom Steinmetz and sponsored by Hughes Roller Construction; "Cao iLa Gael" skippered by Kyle Smith and sponsored by Smith &amp;amp; Miller; "Sail Cat" skippered by Ed Millspaw and sponsored by Tom Picken; "Airfare" skippered by Tom Curkendall and sponsored by Curry &amp;amp; Pasqualone: and “Kiltie” skippered and sponsored by Tom Watt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On behalf of the Arts Center, Executive Director Beth Koski extends special thanks to AYC Sail Club, Phyllis Zala, the U.

Not just for athletes, this event is open to anyone and participants will run and/or walk at their own pace. Everyone has a chance to win!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is how it works. Before the race begins, participants will guess how long it will take them to complete the 5k distance. Then everyone runs and/or walks the route which winds through our scenic Ashtabula Harbor. Leave your watches at home! No timing devices will be allowed. Those that finish closest to their predicted time win! In addition to awards for the winners and door prizes, every entrant will receive a free ticket good for a G. B. Community Theatre show next season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Registration begins at the Arts Center at 8 a.m. The race begins at 9 a.m. Registration fees are $10 adults and $6 students. Registration forms can also be picked up at the Arts Center’s front desk. All proceeds will benefit the Ashtabula Arts Center. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Show your support for the Arts Center and join the fun by grabbing your running shoes, grabbing a friend and coming out to compete in this annual fundraiser!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more information call the Arts Center at (440) 964-3396.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3635005/posts/default/696383291223298576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3635005/posts/default/696383291223298576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscenternews.com/happenings/2008/06/ayc-regatta-raises-4000.php' title='Fundraising Events'/><author><name>Pamela</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635005.post-1097833231900184175</id><published>2008-04-24T15:17:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-06-26T15:32:36.146-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Multi-Arts Day Camp</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Multi-Arts Day Camp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;For Grades 1-6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Hey kids!

Graff will be traveling to Ashtabula this summer to present a watercolor workshop at the Ashtabula Arts Center.  The workshop will be conducted “on location.”   Students will paint at selected sites in the area, taking advantage of the local beauty of Ashtabula County’s shoreline, adjacent harbor views and other architectural subject matter. &lt;br /&gt;                       &lt;br /&gt;Graff is one of today’s leading artists and educators in the field of watercolor painting.  A “Signature Member” of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society and Transparent Watercolor Society, Graff has been conducting his informative and creative workshops for 37 years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has been accepted into numerous top national, state and regional exhibits and his diverse approach to painting continues to attract individual and corporate collectors including : Permanent Collection of the Governor’s Mansion of Ohio; Bank One; Wausau Insurance Co.; General Tire; Mobay Chemical; Union Carbide; Key Bank and many other corporate and private collections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of Graff’s workshops is designed to meet the specific needs of the participants.  Graff gives careful consideration to each group’s area of interest, level of ability and general knowledge of watercolor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Graff’s workshops include a series of exercises, lectures and demonstrations that enable students to fully understand how to develop a painting that reinforces the principles and elements of design.  The different concepts introduced will enlighten both traditional and contemporary watercolor artists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When an artist understands the basic principles and elements of design,” says Graff, “the subject matter becomes unlimited.  The selection of my subject matter is determined by my immediate response to the subject and its surrounding environment.  It is essential that I go beyond the level of just recording facts.  It is my intent to convey a spontaneous response in an unrestricted yet semi-controlled manner.  This approach to watercolor painting lends itself to a unique and unpredictable experience.  This state of uncertainty compels me to further explore the world of watercolor.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the Ashtabula workshop, Graff will be holding 2008 workshops in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Stonington, Maine.  He will also be doing a European Watercolor Workshop in Puy L’Eveque, France next fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enrollment is limited in order to ensure quality one-on-one instruction.  Students will be required to supply their own materials.

Canvas drapes pianos, students are moved to alternate classrooms, paint cans and buckets are tucked into corners and workmen are scattered throughout hallways and studios.  We hope you will be patient with us during the many, much needed improvements which we are now able to make thanks to the generosity of the Ashtabula Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Early in August the Ashtabula Arts Center learned it has received a $35,980.00 grant from the Ashtabula Foundation to repaint and/or restore walls, ceilings, window surfaces and ductwork throughout the facility.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The original part of the Arts Center’s building was dedicated in 1973.  This includes the main entrance, art rooms, former dance studio, galleries and offices.  In 1975, a music wing was added. The only portions of that addition still in the original state are the music studios and the hallway to the backstage area.  In 1987, the Center’s performing arts wing was added including the green room and the dressing rooms.  A large portion of the 1975 addition was remodeled to add to this new wing.  All of the above construction projects were funded in large part through the Civic Development Corporation.        &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of these spaces have ever been professionally repainted and/or refinished.  In fact, volunteers with huge assistance from our local Pepsi distributor were completely responsible for the painting of the performing arts wing.     Areas of the Arts Center to be included in the Ashtabula Foundation’s grant will be all areas in our original building, music studios and hallways outside the theater and up to the dance wing doors, the green room, the kitchen and most offices.     Hughes Roller Building Company is the successful bidder on this work.  The project got underway late in August and we’re hoping work will be completed by mid-October.  At the completion of the painting, the Arts Center will have new carpeting installed throughout the building.  Funding for the carpeting will come from the Arts Center’s Asset Preservation Account, a fund set up specifically for this type of purpose.  A final touch to our revitalization will be replacement of our exhibit panels.  These panels were last replaced in 1987 and receive constant use due to our monthly rotating art exhibits.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our facility is a very busy place.  Fall classes will begin in September, as will our G.B. Community Theatre season.  We thank you for understanding our need to preserve our building and for bearing with us during these hectic weeks.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Arts Center is very grateful to the Ashtabula Foundation for their support of this project.  Thank you!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3635005/posts/default/115817630520076593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3635005/posts/default/115817630520076593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://artscenternews.com/happenings/2006/09/ashtabula-foundation-awards-grant-to.php' title='Ashtabula Foundation Awards Grant to Arts Center'/><author><name>Pamela</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635005.post-115255502587077906</id><published>2006-09-10T14:10:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-10T09:43:01.736-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Halloween Kids Day Out and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Halloween Activities For Kids And Adults On Friday&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ashtabula Arts Center at 2928 West 13th Street in Ashtabula, will once again hold their annual Halloween Kids Day Out on Friday, October 13 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.  This day of stories, crafts and halloween fun for students in grades 1-6,  is offered on NEOTA day—a day that area children have off from school.  Parents need to drop their child off by 9 a.m. with a packed lunch.  Cost per child is $30.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Pre-registration and pre-payment is required and can be made by calling the Arts Center at &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;(440) 964-3396. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a part of this activity day, Cleveland Opera on Tour, the educational and outreach wing of Cleveland Opera, will present a 50 minute children’s opera, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” at 1:00 p.m.  Children attending Halloween Kids Day Out will receive a ticket to this show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The public is also invited to attend the production.  It is not necessary to have a child enrolled in Kids Day Out. Tickets to just the performance of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” are $7 for adults and $5 for children. They can be purchased at the Arts Center or by calling (440) 964-3396. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on the famous Washington Irving story, this Halloween classic tale is brimming with special effects.
