<span style="font-size: 16pt;">The music line-up for the
2012 Waco Cultural Arts Fest to be held Sept. 22-23 is filled with 20
outstanding performing groups ranging from local students to nationally known
professionals. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">On Sat. Sept. 22, the Indian
Spring Park Amphitheatre will provide live entertainment from 11 am to 11
pm. Concert goers will hear several
orchestras, a Mariachi band, a Renaissance group, plus several bands playing
original music in the genres of country, rock, bluegrass, and more. Several
dance groups will dazzle the audience with colorful costumes, precision
dancing, and expressive movements. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">Sunday from noon to 5 pm the
main stage will include performances of children’s theatre, world music,
percussion ensembles, a vocalist, and a Latin traditional band.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16pt;">There are almost 5 months left
to get ready for this year’s festival.
During this time, I’ll be writing blogs about most of the 20 music
groups scheduled for the event so you’ll be anticipating the performances even
more. The names of the performers will
be revealed gradually. I’m very excited about every group that has agreed to perform!</span></div>

Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date,
the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence,
creativity, and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The
NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local
leaders, other federal agencies, and the philanthropic sector.<b> </b></span></div>Waco Cultural Arts Festhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09461523932483525562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527544291448307114.post-78222152163781579652012-02-23T12:43:00.000-06:002012-02-23T12:43:05.466-06:00$25K Grant Awarded to WCAFTuesday, February 21, 2012 was a joyful day for the Waco Cultural Arts Fest (WCAF)! The Waco City Council agreed to provide $25,000 in funding to WCAF. Each year $150,000 hotel/motel tax is set aside for Waco arts organizations. This is WCAF's first time to receive part of the money from the hotel/motel tax monies thanks to the persistent work of the festival's founder and president Doreen Ravenscroft and her volunteers.<br />
<br />
The City funding has stipulations for its use. WCAF will use the money to help advertize the festival to a wider area including the Dallas and Austin markets. It will also be used to help bring in top quality musical acts.<br />
<br />
The Waco Cultural Arts Fest provided free entertainment and art experiences for all ages for about 18,000 people last Sept. 2011. Visitors were also able to buy quality art work from juried professional art vendors.<br />

The title Inuksuit refers to a type of stone marker used by Inuit and other native peoples to orient themselves in Arctic spaces. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a program note, the composer writes, "This work is haunted by the vision of the melting of the polar ice, the rising of the seas, and what may remain of humanity's presence after the waters recede."<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric ideograph-other;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Baylor Percussion Professor Todd Meehan,D.M.A., is the director of the Baylor Percussion Group.

Starting with barely audible sounds of wind, the piece slowly develops through different 'stages' of sound, reaching a climactic peak in the middle of the piece and then receding into the audible distance. The stages are as follows: 'Breathing/Wind' (rubbed stones, maracas, whirly tubes), 'Calls' (conch and trumpet blasts), 'Waves' (blaring sirens, thunderous drums, and soaring cymbal sounds), 'Clangs' (bell tones), and finally another stage of 'Wind/Birdsongs' (triangles, cymbals, glockenspiels, toy piano). The work ends with sporadic birdsongs played by four of the performers. Because the piece has been performed once before in Texas, the composer was able to provide us with specific musical notation for Central Texas birds. Audiences will hear the songs of the Cardinal, the Purple Martin, and the Tufted Titmouse, in this particular performance. </span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br />

The audience should feel absolutely free to walk around the performance area and experience the sounds from different vantage points. As the composer states, there is no 'best seat in the house'. Walk amongst the musicians and take in the music you are hearing as you would take in the sounds of nature.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

She hails from New Orleans, LA., but has lived in the northwest and on the east coast and now in Waco, Texas.<br />
Most of Cicely’s art is full of vibrant colors and emotion who loves to work with exciting colors because it really catches your attention and brings uplifting energy to the room. She is gifted in the pencil medium. Her black and white pieces evoke strong contrast and interest. <br />
Cicely dreamed of one day owning her own art business and art gallery. One dream has come true. Cicely would like to thank everyone who appreciates her art and who has supported her over the years in starting a new business.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

These early influences imprinted upon Wright a dichotomy of perspectives, which can be seen reflected in his sculptural assemblage panels. After completing his formal art instruction at the University of North Texas, he became free of the constraints of a contemporary art education, and threw himself into creating his imaginary storytelling panels. Utilizing rescued photographs & salvaged, found objects, his work captures remembrance and promise, balancing a forgotten moment of life against what fate ultimately had in store. His work is full of fact and fiction, life and loss, and all that is unique and ordinary about our lives, yet preserves the immortality of us all. "My work is about remembering. And although I take liberties in remembering a truth that may not have existed, I do so in an effort to immortalize and pay tribute to people I will never know, people who may well have been forgotten by everyone they ever knew. In so doing, I represent the eternal in each of us and the belief that the documentation of loss is the talisman that bears witness to our existence, shouting to the world - I was here, look what I did!" </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

The centerpiece of the sculpture is usually a simple shape inspired by animal forms, nature, religious and/or spiritual symbolism. The centerpiece is carved wood finished with a number of different mediums. Usually I use acrylic paint, stains, powdered metals, coral, nails, stone, wire and other materials. Acids are combined with the powdered metals to create various finishes. Often the centerpiece is mounted in a shadow box or on a three dimensional display. The frame is usually finished using powdered metal that is then oxidized.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
