THE PRESIDENT’S CORNERRECENTLY, IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE ARTS CENTER HAS BEEN IN ITS CURRENT

LOCATION FOR 15 YEARS! FOUNDED IN 1997, THE ARTS CENTER SPENT ITS EARLY YEARS WANDERING BETWEEN UNOCCUPIED AND OFTEN UNHEATED MAIN STREET PROPERTIES. IN 2001, BOB MORIN DONATED THE BUILDING AT 129 EAST MAIN STREET, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY HOUSED HIS ORANGE FURNITURE CO., TO THE ARTS CENTER IN ORANGE. BOB. WHO HAD SERVED ON THE ORANGE TOWN COUNCIL FOR 14 YEARS AND WAS MAYOR OF ORANGE DURING MOST OF THAT TIME, WAS EVER MINDFUL THAT HE WAS PART OF A COMMUNITY AND HAD AN OBLIGATION TO THAT COMMUNITY.

SINCE 2001, WE HAVE RENOVATED AND BEEN USING ABOUT 30% OF THE BUILDING. AFTER 15 YEARS, WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE TIME HAS COME TO LOOK AHEAD -- TO EVALUATE THE BEST USE OF OUR CURRENT SPACE AND CONSIDER POSSIBILITIES FOR EXPANDING INTO THE UNOCCUPIED PORTION OF THE BUILDING. TOWARD THAT END, THE ARTS CENTER BOARD HAS RECENTLY HIRED THE CHARLOTTESVILLE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM OF ATWOOD HENNINGSEN KESTNER TO ADVISE US ON HOW BEST TO RENOVATE THE BALANCE OF OUR HISTORIC MAIN STREET BUILDING WHILE MEETING THE GROWING NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

I WILL BE OFFERING UPDATES AS THE PROJECT MOVES FORWARD AS WELL AS SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW YOU MIGHT BE INVOLVED. I ALSO WELCOME YOUR IDEAS.

IN THE MEAN TIME, I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AT THE CENTER SOON. IT’S TRULY WORTH YOUR VISIT.

ED HARVEY, PRESIDENT

The Arts Center In Orange is a nonprofit community arts center with a mission to increase the quality of life in our community by promoting an appreciation for fine contemporary arts in diverse styles and ideologies. This is done by providing: a forum to promote artistic excellence; scholarship and education; a venue for artists and artisans to work, teach, exhibit and sell work; and a place for the community to learn skills, and to participate in and enjoy the arts.

Our Town: Three PaintersNew work by three artists from Orange, Virginia:

Todd Brown received his BA in Fine Art from Lynchburg College in 1980. Since then he has operated a sign business where there has always been a fuzzy distinction between “sign” and “art”. In recent years, he turned “serious” in his pursuit of fine art and opened a studio in Orange, Virginia. He has sold hundreds of prints and originals. Favorite subjects include the railroad, scenes from the town of Orange, Virginia landscapes, Williamsburg and beach scenes from Nags Head, North Carolina.

Kelly Lonergan received an MFA in painting and printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth Univer-sity in 1991. He worked in a studio at the McGuffey Art Center in Charlottesville and exhibited his paint-ings throughout the state before leaving to teach at Germanna Community College and Piedmont VA Community College. He joined the faculty of Woodberry Forest School in 1995 where he contin-ues to teach studio art and art history.

Lee Nixon Jr. received his Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Virginia State Uni-versity in 1975. He taught at Daniel Morgan Middle School in Winchester, Virginia for five years. In 1980, Lee returned to Orange, to teach at Orange County High School where he initiated an annual Arts and Science Festival. His impressionist paintings have appeared in numerous galler-ies, including the Science Museum of Richmond, and the Arts Center in Orange.
