‘Art is in my heart’ F

A personal message from Ceo Marcia Hull

or more than 15 years, it has been my extreme pleasure to serve the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF), a champion of cultural arts and education in Northwest Florida. Since 1995, MKAF has a rich history of bringing art enrichment programs and cultural experiences to audiences of all ages. I salute all my partners who have traveled along on this exciting cultural journey … staff member Deb Nissley, the leadership of all MKAF’s board of directors, members, donors, media partners and volunteers. I would be remiss if I didn’t recognize my parents and mentors who first opened my eyes to a world of art. At a young impressionable age, I was afforded the opportunity to experience piano, tap and ballet lessons; to see live theater on Broadway; be inspired by the New York City Ballet; to visit metropolitan fine art museums at the New York Metropolitan of Art and The J. Paul Getty Museum and Villa; and be mesmerized by The Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. I am often asked what motivates me and I always say, “I can’t image life without arts and culture and not introducing children to the same opportunities that were given to me.” Through the power of

art, we can enrich the community through cultivation, presentation and preservation of cultural opportunities. Whether it’s painting one’s surroundings, collaborating to create a song, writing a novel or a screenplay, or working as a team to act out a play, many forms of the arts are the essence of bringing economic impact, quality of life and a sense of place to any community. My passion and personal “ministry” is to surround myself with talented artists, mentors and visionaries to carry on Mattie’s dream of a community rich in culture. It is especially important that we begin by unlocking a child’s potential through the power of art to provide a pathway of growth, development and self-esteem. You can play your part by joining our arts family — become a member, volunteer your time and talent, or provide services that are needed to be a champion of cultural arts. Remember, the arts are for everyone, not just the fortunate or the privileged.

Artist Robin Cannon selected as 2014 Festival Poster Contest Winner

T

he Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation (MKAF) proudly welcomes Destin artist Robin Cannon as the 2014 Festival of the Arts poster winner. Selected by a panel of judges, her winning design becomes the official signature artwork featured on the commemorative festival posters and merchandise, including postcards, the festival guide and the overall promotional festival campaign. Cannon’s vibrant and playful acrylic painting centers on an art festival dotted

with colorful tents capped with flying flags flanked by musical instruments and paintbrushes. Cannon, a mixed media folk artist who describes her work as “fun and funky,” has showcased her artwork in the festival for the past two years, but she is a first-time poster contest winner this year. “The festival is just magical and to win the poster contest is a total thrill,” she said. “We’re delighted the judges chose Robin Cannon’s piece,” said MKAF CEO Marcia Hull. “Her whimsical

work has personality plus, just like she does. This piece really captures the sense of celebration we try to create at the festival each year.” Cannon was born in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and grew up in the Atlanta area, but she has lived in Destin since 1989. After raising her four children, she began devoting more time to creating art, which she has done full-time for the past seven years. Under the name Redbird Art, Cannon

repurposes discarded wood, metal and other found objects into lively, animated mosaic-style paintings and folksy art pieces, many featuring whimsical birds that have become somewhat of a signature. Cannon’s colorful art can be found at Artesano’s in Fort Walton Beach and Flutterby Antique’s in Destin, as well as at local art shows, art walks and festivals. Visit Robin in Booth #75 to learn more about her technique.

Since his early days at Arista, he had an invaluable opportunity to work with Aretha Franklin, Teddy Pendergrass, Whitney Houston and Ray Charles, among other musical giants.

adri Kaerma, 54, is one of the most known and recognized contemporary ceramists in Estonia. With exhibits in Japan, France, Germany, Sweden and Finland, her work is known well beyond the borders of her home country. And now she is exhibiting for the first time at the Festival of the Arts as a special featured artist. “It’s an absolute thrill for us to welcome Kadri Kaerma to show in the 2014 festival,” said MKAF Festival co-producer Deb Nissley. “Her vibrant, inventive work will add that much more artistic depth to our already stellar ceramic lineup.” Kaerma wonders if being born under the sign of Pisces is perhaps why fish-motifs have been prevalent in her work throughout her nearly 30year career. Kaerma’s highly personal and imaginative style

set her apart from traditional contemporaries. Adventurous in her use of color, Kaerma’s abstract ceramic designs are unconventional and are described as being filled with both “humor” and the “unexpected.” A 1985 graduate of the Estonian Art Academy, Kaerma began her art career at the Ceramic Art Center in Tallinn, Estonia. Just 10 years later she became the general artist of the company, and in 2009, she established her own ceramic studio under the brand name Vibalik. In 2013 she was invited to place select pieces on exhibit in Tokyo and in Kyoto. Kaerma’s work recently was one of 150 chosen out of 3,500 to show in the Mino International ceramists’ exhibition. Kaerma is married and has two sons. She lives in Nõmme, Tallinn in Estonia, which is a “sister city” to Destin.

Florida Symphony Orchestra, Northwest Florida Ballet, and George Rodrigue Foundation for the Arts. Through two new partnerships with Emerald Coast Autism Center and the United Way of Okaloosa and Walton Counties, AKA is funding valuable quarterly outreach programs to at-risk children with physical and mental disabilities or low-income

students in government reduced-lunch program, many of whom come from singleparent households. The arts provide an invaluable avenue of self-expression for special needs children with limited or no verbal communication, and because of heightened sensory needs, they respond well to the multi-sensory stimulation and the hands-on approach inherent in art.

State and national studies have proven that arts-infused and arts-integrated curriculum can instill an attitude of lifelong learning in K-12 students, prevent substance abuse and gang activities, improve attendance and achieve higher academic scoring and graduation rates. Schools that produced the highest academic achievement in the United States are investing 20 to 30 percent of the day on the arts. That is NOT the case in Okaloosa and Walton counties, where students are exposed to only 20-30 minutes weekly or in some cases, once every two weeks.
