Visit the calendar at ArtinMilwaukee.com to see all the arts related events happening in our great city! Here's details on all of MARN's events for art appreciators. MARN's Collecting 101 Series How often have you gone to gallery night or walked into your favorite gallery and wanted to buy a piece of work but didn’t? Why not? If you’re like many people you think buying art is only for the super rich or for some reason you don’t feel up to the responsibility of owning artwork. Well, as witnessed by MAM’s recent arrival from the Vogel collection we know you don’t need to be super rich to collect. But how do you do it? And once you start how do you take care of those pieces? The Milwaukee Artist Resource Network’s new series on collecting is aimed at taking some of the mystery out of the process of buying and owning art. This series will provide insight from average everyday folks who started collecting as well as gallery owners and artists themselves. The collectors will address how they got started collecting while the other experts will talk about the care and feeding if you will of various types of work. This series is produced as a partnership between MARN and the Humphrey Scottish Rite Center. The series will be presented the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 at the Humphrey Scottish Rite Center in the Walter Schreoeder Lounge 790 N. Van Buren Each lecture is $10.00 with proceeds benefiting MARN and the Humphrey Center Wednesday January 13th, 2010 6:30pm Evelyn Terry: Stories of Collecting from Your Community“I bought my first piece of art from a student at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design from a student exhibition maybe in 1973. I don't quite remember. I don't know the artists at all. I think I was a student and it took me almost a year to pay the $50 bill. It was a framed very realistically pencil-drawn rendering. I've looked at it for years and still enjoy it. I collect from different artists around me, mostly African American. Some artists from other cultures, I do not know at all. All of the work that I have is because I had the money the day that the work was available.“ Evelyn Patricia Terry began writing a manuscript on African-American artists connected to Wisconsin entitled Permission to Paint, Please! in 1997. The manuscript is contracted to be published by the University of Wisconsin Press. Terry has an international exhibition record. Over 400 corporations and private patrons, including three Wisconsin museums, have collected her art. A resident artist at Lincoln Center of the Art she has a BFA and MS from University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

David’s career as an art dealer began at age nineteen, when as a Fine Art and Art History student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he sponsored an exhibition of work by fellow student artists. In 1966, he opened his first gallery at Wisconsin Avenue and 21st Street in Milwaukee. The original mission of the gallery was to sponsor emerging new artists from the Milwaukee area. However, in 1968, the gallery branched out to feature European and American Masters. What started out as a modest collection 41 years ago has developed into a diverse, international collection of more than 5,000 artworks. The gallery moved into its present location in 1985. David’s talent for recognizing artwork of value and for meeting the needs of art lovers, collectors, and artists has created a vibrant, flourishing gallery and collection. . |
