TITLE: Cultural Arts Activities for March and April 2018
Photo Contest: The Call for Entry for the Sculpture Photo Contest closed April 15. The contest, sponsored by the
Newport Beach City Arts Commission, was launched to encourage public awareness of the new sculptures in Civic
Center Park. The public submitted 200 photographs. Winners will be announced by May 25.
Joli Magazine Photo Shoot in Civic Center Park: On March 23, Joli Magazine staged a fashion photo shoot in Civic
Center Park with City Hall and the Phase III sculptures serving as a backdrop. According to their website
(https://www.jolimagazine.space/about/), Joli Magazine “is written and produced for the sophisticated and
worldly audience that defines the affluent Coastal Orange County readership. The superior quality and highly
relatable visual and editorial components of each issue will entice readers to look to Joli Magazine as a valuable
source for experiencing and savoring the best life has to offer, from local past times to worldwide travel. There are
so many new and exciting ways to enjoy life and each issue will feature the quality of life experiences designed to
resonate and inspire.” This venture has presented a unique opportunity to promote the sculpture exhibition. Look
for the photos in the Spring 2018 issue.
“The Four Seasons” Oil Paintings by Agnes Schenk: Newport Beach City
Arts Commission presented an exhibition by painter Agnes Schenk, who
previously exhibited at the Newport Beach Central Library in 2015, with
enthusiastic response from the public. Approximately 30 years ago, “Aggie”
–as she prefers to be called – returned to an early love for oil paint,
brushes and canvas. Her early art instruction while in high school in
Missouri, was by Ursuline nuns educated at the Sorbonne in Paris. Those
early lessons forced her to focus on drawing and details of hands and faces.
After mastering the pencil, she was then allowed to progress with charcoal,
then watercolor and finally to oil. This classic method of careful attention
to composition laid the framework for her now well-known paintings of
flowers in all their glory. Schenk studied under several master painters such
as local artists Frank Tarallo, Bill Alexander and Gary Jenkins. Later, she joined Jonathan Burke and Roger
Armstrong’s classes at Laguna College of Art & Design. At
90, she continues to attend painting groups twice a week,
refusing to let any ailments get in the way of her
creativity.
On April 5, a public reception for Aggie was held in the
Friends Room at Central Library. Guests had the
opportunity to meet the artist, ask questions about her
work and mingle with other like-minded guests. The
exhibition ran through May 4 and is sponsored by the
Newport Beach City Arts Commission.
Sculpture Exhibition Lecture series: Commissioner Grace Divine, who served on the Ad Hoc Subcommittee for
Phase IV of the Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park, presented the first in a series of lectures, on the individual
sculptures featured in the current Exhibition. On April 2 Commissioner Divine lectured on the piece, Be Still and
Know by John Merigian.

Uncommon Goods: Artist Book as Object: The Newport Beach City Arts
Commission is hosting an exhibition featuring a reinterpretation of the “book” by
25 University of California, Irvine student artists. Students researched the history
and creative production of the artist’s books at the special collections department
of UCI’s Langston Library. There they explored the infinite possibilities of
constructing and organizing data, or in some cases interweaving visual narratives,
using unusual materials, color, line and form. The exhibition will be on display on
the 2nd floor of the Central Library during regular operating hours. An opening
reception was held on Saturday, April 7 at 12 p.m. in the exhibition area, and some
of the artists in attendance and available to discuss their works. The exhibition
continues through May 5.
Artist James Strombotne goes Behind the Brushstrokes: The Newport Beach City
Arts Commission presents an exhibition of paintings by renowned artist James
Strombotne at the Newport Beach Central Library May 7 - July 6, and an informal
reception and short lecture on Thursday, May 24 at 7 p.m. at the Central Library,
1000 Avocado Ave., Newport Beach.
Strombotne, along with his daughter Emily Strombotne, will be there to meet guests
and talk about his paintings and their collaboration on a new book, Behind the
Brushstrokes. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
A nationally recognized American artist, Strombotne had his first one-man show in
1956 in San Francisco at a gallery called Studio 44 on Fillmore Street. He was 21. At
that time, he would paint and draw every day. More than 50 years later, he still
paints and draws daily.
Since that first one-man show, Strombotne has shown his work in more than 100
one-man shows, including 14 retrospectives. His work is housed in many of the finest
public collections in the country and is also included in numerous prestigious private
collections. In this special exhibit, he continues to captivate audiences with his
provocative paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture.
The exhibition will be available for viewing during Central Library operating hours,
Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.; and
Sunday, 12 - 5 p.m.

Newport Beach Arts Foundation Donation
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Arts Commission accept a donation of $5,000 from the Newport Beach Arts
Foundation to sponsor the June 17 Concert on the Green.
DISCUSSION:
Founded in 1998, the Newport Beach Arts Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is the fund-
raising arm of the Newport Beach City Arts Commission. The Arts Commission and the Arts Foundation are
dedicated to supporting the visual and performing arts in the City of Newport Beach.
At their April meeting, the Newport Beach Arts Foundation voted to donate $5,000 for sponsorship of the
June 17 Summer Concert. The Arts Foundation requests that the organization receive acknowledgement
from the stage to thank the Commission/City for the opportunity to sponsor the event. In addition, the
Foundation will offer the same opportunity to sponsor a concert to the audience and make their donation
tax deductible through the Arts Foundation.
The public will have the opportunity to contribute to the support of City Arts and with the ability to make a
designated gift. The public will also have the opportunity, at the June 17 concert, to make a contribution of
$100 or more, and receive a crystal "Angel" pin to show their support for City Arts Commission
programming. All monies collected through these means will go to City Arts Commission programming,
with no funds diverted to any of the administrative or fundraising activities of the Newport Beach Arts
Foundation.
Pending acceptance of the donation, staff will submit a budget amendment memo to the City Manager.
Funds will be deposited in account #01060603-561005, “Private Donations and Contributions”. The funds
will be expensed from account #01060603-841004, “Programming”.
