Oglebay Institute Receives Gifts

WLU Underwrites Spring Play Tour

Thanks to a generous sponsorship from West Liberty University, Oglebay Institute is pleased to offer free admission to the May 30 performance of the children’s show “I’m A Celebrity” at Towngate Theatre.

The sponsorship also supports performances of “I’m A Celebrity” at Ohio Valley schools, the Ohio Co. Public Library and during the Wheeling Arts Fest this spring. The show provides a meaningful theater experience that entertains and teaches life lessons and, for many area school children, serves as an introduction to the art of live theater.

For more information about bringing a children’s theater production to your school this fall, please call 304-242-7700.

James B. Chambers Foundation Contributes to Camp Scholarship Fund

The James B. Chambers Foundation recently committed significant financial support to OI’s summer camp scholarship program. The $10,000 grant award will assist OI in its effort to provide Summer Day Camp scholarships to qualifying applicants from Ohio County, W. Va. in 2015.

Oglebay Institute Summer Day Camps open the door for lifelong enjoyment and appreciation of the arts and nature. Development director Kathryn Kelly adds, “Thanks to the generosity of the James B. Chambers foundation, OI can make our camp experiences available to an even broader range of deserving children and families.”

Camp registration is open and scholarships are granted as funds permit. For more information, please call 304-242-4200 or visit OIonline.com/camps

A Message from the PresidentSince embarking on my new journey as president of Oglebay Institute, I have been overwhelmed by the warm reception from the community. I have experienced many poignant moments over the last few months. One, in particular, was the welcome reception introducing me to

the community. As I looked around the Stifel Fine Arts Center that evening, I was truly moved not only because nearly 200 members, donors, friends, current and past board members and employees ventured out during one of the worst snow events of the season but also because of the love and support for Oglebay Institute that was so apparent. The room was filled with people of all ages and all interests – artists, community partners, students, nature enthusiasts, business leaders, historians, parents, and educators– a microcosm of Oglebay Institute. The energy in the room was palpable; the stories shared were inspiring.

For those of you who I was unable to talk with at the reception and those who were unable to attend, I hope that we will have that chance in the near future. I look forward to more conversations about your experiences with Oglebay Institute and hearing your thoughts about how we can evolve to continue to meet the needs of our community.

I am optimistic and excited about the future and working side-by-side with the creative, talented and dedicated staff and board to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest quality educational and cultural programs to our community. For 85 years, Oglebay Institute has thrived thanks to the loyal support of you – our members, donors, sponsors, volunteers and program participants. You make our work possible. With your continued support and by advancing a culture of communication, creativity and collaboration, the possibilities are endless.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Danielle Cross McCrackenOglebay Institute President Pictured rehearsing for the upcoming

Staff and Board HighlightsGutman Named Board Chair

Milt Gutman, president of Gutman Advertising, has been named Chairman of the Board of Oglebay Institute. Gutman, a longtime board member, began his term as chairman in January. His affiliation with OI began more than 50 years ago as a young child. He has since been an active OI member and participant across all OI disciplines, introducing his children, and now his grandchildren, to the many arts, nature and cultural programs presented by OI.

Kelly Joins OI as Development Director

Kathryn Kelly has been named director of development at Oglebay Institute. Kelly comes to Oglebay Institute from Wheeling Jesuit University where, as special officer for University initiatives and donor relations, she managed projects including the Mount de Chantal Conservatory of Music. Before joining WJU’s advancement office she was at the WJU’s National Technology Transfer Center as managing editor of NASA’s Technology Innovation magazine.

Eastman Receives Certification

Through a training program with the National Association for Interpretation, Alice Eastman, director of the Schrader Environmental Education Center, received the designations of Certified Interpretive Guide and Certified Interpretive Trainer. These designations recognize Eastman’s excellence in delivering meaningful interpretive experiences and allow her to train new guides seeking to improve their interpretive skills, guided hikes and other presentations.

Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, the NAI provides training and networking opportunities for interpreters of natural and cultural history in non-formal settings such as zoos, parks and nature centers. NAI certification programs recognize an individual’s thorough knowledge of interpretive principles, practices and skills.

McCracken, Kelly Participate in Arts Day

Oglebay Institute president Danielle McCracken and development director Kathryn Kelly spent two days at the WV Capitol participating in Arts Day 2015, meeting with our state senators and delegates advocating for the arts, showcasing the great work OI does in our community, celebrating West Virginia’s vibrant arts communities and highlighting the important role the arts play across the Mountain State.

Byrum Attends Museums Advocacy Day

OI’s director of museums Christin Byrum attended Museums Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill in February. She met with Senator Capito and staff from the offices of Senator Manchin, Rep. Alex Mooney and Rep. Evan Jenkins to discuss the important role of museums. The final meeting was with Rep. David McKinley, who was recognized in 2013 for his support of museums by the American Alliance of Museums.

Artist and Educator Rachel Shipley Joins Visual Arts Staff

Rachel Shipley is OI’s newest art educator. She is both an active artist and a professional educator. Her resume includes a bachelor’s degree in art education from West Liberty University where she is also working on her graduate degree, a teaching assistantship at WLU, a stint at the Andy Warhol Museum as an art educator and a respectable portfolio of her own art spanning multiple media.

Early this year, nearly 200 area middle-school students were immersed in the work and life of one of the most important 20th-century African-American artists through a series of lessons developed by Oglebay Institute for classroom use. The project was made possible through an American Masterpieces Grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.

Focusing on artist Jacob Lawrence (1917-1999), the series of lessons was piloted at Wheeling Middle School, Wheeling Country Day School, St. Michael’s Parish School and Triadelphia Middle School.

Lawrence was a celebrated painter and visual storyteller who, through his work, depicted important periods in African-American history – from the abolition of slavery to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.

During his career, Lawrence received many awards for his work, including election to the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Letters. His art is in the collections of the Museum of

Modern Art, the Phillips Collection, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.

Because Lawrence’s creative body of work combines fine art with American history and social issues, OI chose him as a focal point for a unique cross-curricular school program to offer to schools in celebration of Black History Month.

In developing the program, OI’s visual arts department, led by director Rick Morgan, conducted the background research, designed the curriculum and created teaching materials that reinforce content standards

and objectives in visual art, language arts and social studies. The result is a kit containing everything teachers need to present four hands-on lessons centered around Lawrence’s work.

Prior to conducting the program in their classrooms, participating teachers attended a training workshop at OI and received supplies including a CD-ROM including Lawrence’s biography, samples of his work, a timeline of The Great Migration, information on West Virginia’s role in The Great Migration and the Civil Rights era and details about the Harlem Renaissance.

Student artwork created during the program is on display in the Ohio County Public Library and the West Liberty University library.

Studying Jacob Lawrence increased students’ knowledge about and appreciation for the artist’s work, but more than that, it helped them understand the historical and cultural context in which it was created. Looking at history and social studies through the lens of art and the creative process gives students a new perspective on familiar topics, teaching them the value of examining issues from multiple vantage points.

Wheeling Middle School 7th-grade student Alayna Crow shows off a 3D star book, one of several lessons created by OI and inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series of artwork.

Above is a cut construction paper collage by Wheeling Middle School student Jonah Harkness – done in the style of Jacob Lawrence and depicting B.B. King. The study of influential African-Americans in history was also incorporated into classroom lessons.

With the success of the pilot program, OI plans to make the Jacob Lawrence classroom kits available to other schools in the future.

The Lawrence project was presented with financial assistance from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, and the National Endowment for the Arts, with approval from the West Virginia Commission on the Arts.

West Virginia Division of Culture and History Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith visited the Stifel Fine Arts Center in April to learn about the Jacob Lawrence Project, which was funded by the WVDCH. The project immersed 200 middle-school students in the work and life of Lawrence, one of the most important 20th-century African-American artists.

Reid-Smith is pictured here with Stifel Center director Rick Morgan (left) and OI president Danielle McCracken.

“For most people this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to come within inches of one of the most influential books in history.”

Accompanying the rare book will be a multi-panel exhibition exploring the significance of Shakespeare, then and now, with additional digital content and interactive activities.

Oglebay Institute has partnered with West Liberty University, Wheeling Jesuit University and the Ohio County Public Library to present a series of programs during the free, four-week exhibition to connect the public with the Bard, his work and the history of the printed word. Programs range from lectures and interpretive displays to film festivals and theater productions.

Final dates for the exhibition and programs will be announced later this spring. 

One of the world’s most famous books is coming to Wheeling in 2016. Oglebay Institute’s Mansion Museum has been selected as West Virginia’s stop on the Folger Shakespeare Library’s national tour of the First Folio, marking the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death.

The First Folio, published in 1623 by two of the playwright’s colleagues, is so important because it’s the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays. It contains 36 scripts and is the original source for such works as “Macbeth,” “Julius Caesar,” “Twelfth Night” and “The Tempest.” Of the 750 copies, believed to have been originally published, 233 survive today, and the Folger owns 82.

Hundreds of hopeful libraries, museums and historical societies vied for a chance to host the traveling exhibition First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, which will visit all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. The 2016 tour has been designed by the Folger in partnership with the Cincinnati Museum Center and the American Library Association.

“We are honored to have been selected as a venue to help share this extraordinary part of the world’s cultural heritage,” said Oglebay Institute director of museums Christin Byrum.

Cheryl Harshman, director of the Paul N. Elbin Library at West Liberty University, displays a rare 15th Century Book of Hours. Pieces like this from the collections of local libraries and universities will accompany the First Folio in a spring 2016 exhibit showcasing the beginnings of bookmaking and printmaking.

Backwards Glance: Mountain Moon CoffeehouseOglebay Institute’s longtime bluegrass and folk music series Mountain Moon Coffeehouse returned for a special one-night-only program featuring the Cabin Fever String Band on April 25 at the Stifel Fine Arts Center.

Mountain Moon Coffeehouse is one of Oglebay Institute’s most successful musical programs. From 1986 through 2011, Mountain Moon concerts featured 240 performances and raised thousands of dollars for Oglebay Institute’s environmental education programs.

The program took place for 13 seasons at the A.B. Brooks Nature Center (now the Schrader Environmental Education Center) and then moved to the Stifel Fine Arts Center for another 12.

Wheeling residents Bob and Barb Heyer were honored with a lifetime membership at the April 25 show. For 25 years, the Heyers coordinated all aspects of this popular program from booking the bands and providing refreshments, to working the events and promoting the programs. Bob played dozens of gigs on the Mountain Moon stage as a member of the Cabin Fever String Band.

Oglebay Institute president Danielle McCracken presents Bob Heyer and Barb Heyer (not pictured) a Lifetime Membership Award for their dedicated service and volunteerism in presenting the Mountain Moon Coffeehouse series.

Vaughn Miller has been an Oglebay Institute member since 1994. And while her interests at OI are many, Mrs. Miller has a special place in her heart for the OI School of Dance and takes particular pride in the accomplishments of the school’s students.

Why? In addition to her support of OI at the patron membership level, she chose in 2004 to establish a dance scholarship at the school.

A dancer herself, Mrs. Miller wanted to make it possible for others to experience the joy of dance. Now entering its 12th year, the Vaughn Miller Dance Scholarship soon will be awarded to two new OI students. A Wheeling native, Mrs. Miller began dancing at the age of three, studying with the legendary Mary Elizabeth Fassig Keyser (“Miss Fassig,” 1905-1986), a 2015 Wheeling Hall of Fame inductee.

Mrs. Miller was a member of the prestigious Orchesis Dance Ensemble while at WVU, where after graduation she married law student Thomas Miller. The two later moved to Charleston when he became a W.Va. State Supreme Court Justice. Upon their return to Wheeling in 1994, Mrs. Miller started a dance aerobics class that has continued for 21 years at Stone Presbyterian Church.

Her hope is that like her students, the recipients of her scholarship will continue to experience the joy of dance throughout their lives.

Right, Vaughn Miller with her dance partner while the two were students at West Virginia University in the 1950s.
