Therapeutic Arts 

Art can often be fun and whimsical, but it also has the 

ability to be cathartic and therapeutic. Many 

organizations in Wisconsin have discovered this potential 

and are employing art in a therapeutic way during the 

coming months. 

The Child Life program in the Children’s Hospital of 

Wisconsin-Fox Valley uses art to help children cope with 

and understand their treatment. Children paint and make 

collages with gauze and syringes so that the hospital 

equipment is more familiar to them. They also draw 

pictures of the operating room so that Child Life 

specialists can clear up any misconceptions about what 

has happened to them. 

Both the Rahr-West Art Museum in Manitowoc and 

Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau offer 

programming for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia 

and their caregivers. The Woodson Art Museum offers 

“SPARK!” one Wednesday of each month to help “spark” 

The Building for Kids, Appleton. 

memories by discussing and creating art. Art Therapist 

Stacia Dick-Schuster runs “Creative Expressions” for the 

Rahr-West Art Museum to help people activate latent powers of the mind, stimulate 

memory and allow for creative expression. 

The Building for Kids Children’s Museum in Appleton opens its doors from 8–9am 

and turns down the light and noise from exhibits on “Spectrum Saturdays.” This 

provides a lower-sensory experience for children with autism and their families. 

Taking a turn to comedy, the “Laughter is the Best Medicine” event will bring the 

popular Second City improv troupe to the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center on 

March 2. Proceeds will benefit ThedaCare patients and their families receiving cancer 

treatment and hospice care.

Making Musical 

Dreams Come True 

If you’ve ever wanted to 

perform your favorite song 

but been the wrong age, 

weight, height, gender or 

race, Dream Role is the 

musical revue for you. 

Directed by UWFox Valley 

Director of Theatre Susan 

Rabideau and Director of Technical Theatre Erick Gyrion, Dream Role features 

an hour and a half of solos and show-stopping pieces from over 80 talented 

performers. 

"It's just 90 minutes of your favorite music," Rabideau says. 

The production will feature both new and old favorites from “Luck, Be a 

Lady” from Guys and Dolls to “Popular” from Wicked. It will also feature a 

sneak preview from the UWFox Theatre’s next production, Hairspray, running 

April 12 –21. 

And the students aren’t the only one fulfilling their dreams. Rabideau will 

be directing a big number from the critically acclaimed Ragtime, a show she 

has never had the opportunity to produce due to the large number of African 

American characters. 

"It's really exhilarating to hear this amazing music sung by amazing 

performers and not be worried about the logistics,” she says. 

The production will run from March 1–3 at 7pm with a matinee on March 3 

at 2pm. Tickets are available online at uwfox.uwc.edu or by visiting the 

UWFox Valley ticket office. Come and watch as performers sing the songs of 

their dreams.

Spring will soon be upon us. This means not 

only the return of sunlight, but the fabulously popular 

Fox Cities Book Festival. 

Entering its fifth year, the week-long festival features 

readings, panels and conversations all over the Fox Cities 

featuring a number of genres both fiction and nonfiction. One 

night might see a panel at the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum with the 

next morning dawning on a Q&A session with an author at the Radisson 

Paper Valley Hotel. 

Every year, the festival sees a heady attendance of 15,000 

bibliophiles (plus another 10,000 from area schools) that meet in 

museums, colleges, libraries and businesses in the Fox Cities, but the 

festival has met with success since the start, says Jeff Kuepper, president 

of the board for the Fox Cities Book Festival. 

“We were really overwhelmed and were very pleasantly surprised at 

the initial turnout,” Kuepper says. 

So far, the list of confirmed authors includes poet, essayist & 

naturalist Diane Ackerman, Wisconsin-born Patrick Rothfuss and awardwinning 

author/nationally-acclaimed public speaker Rachel Simon 

among a number of others. Meeting beloved authors in person is always 

a big thrill for festival attendees, Kuepper says. 

“We've all at some point read a book and said, ‘Wow, wish I could 

tell the author how much I enjoyed that.’” 

One or two events may require tickets, but the rest will be free and 

open to the public. Visit foxcitiesbookfestival.org for more information 

and mark your calendars for April 11–18 when books will officially be in 

season.

The Fox Valley is getting a little ‘Hollywood’ this season, hosting two 

film festivals in March. The Wildwood Film Festival, a well established 

Wisconsin Film Fest will be celebrating its eleventh year, while The Green 

Bay Film Festival is getting ready for its second year. Keep your eyes peeled 

for some star sightings! 

Wildwood Film Festival 

What began as two friends searching to screen their feature-length film 

has now grown into a well 

established film festival that has 

screened over 165 films. Even though 

this year will be the eleventh time 

they’ve hosted the Wildwood Film 

Festival, Jason Buss, co-creator of the 

Festival, is still shocked at the filmic 

quality of the shorts that local 

filmmakers have created. 

“It amazes me in general, it’s still 

amazing, the quality of pieces we see 

come our way,” Buss states. “These 

short, 15–20 minute pieces we see 

are beautiful little pieces.” 

What makes the Wildwood Film 

Festival unique is that the Festival is 

dedicated to everything Wisconsin. 

Buss, with co-creator Tom Thorne, 

celebrates the passion for cheese, 

beer and football that is shared 

throughout the state with his 

filmmaking friends. 

“Whether you live in Hoboken, New Jersey or L.A. or Chicago, if you've 

ever called Wisconsin home, we want to show your film,” says Buss. “It’s a 

cheer for the home state.” 

The Film Festival will be held at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in 

Appleton on March 3 with four show times (1pm, 3pm, 6pm & 8pm). Tickets 

are available for purchase at the Fox Cities P.A.C. Box office. 

Green Bay Film Festival 

The Green Bay Film Festival has international appeal. Last year alone, 

this 3-day film festival attracted individuals from over 16 countries, all in the 

name of cinema. 

This international affair began as an idea put forth by the Green Bay 

Film Society, brought into fruition with help from Northcoast Productions. 

Now, the two-year-old fest screens a wide range of films for any audience. 

With categories ranging from documentary, Native American and social 

issues to children’s films, this festival is bound to please all audiences. 

Michelle Tyo-Johnson, the director of business development for 

Northcoast Productions, sees the Green Bay Film Festival as a unique 

opportunity for film enthusiasts. “It's fun, it's films that you aren't going to 

see in a regular movie theater that are truly done by people who love what 

they’re doing and love their industry,” she says. 

The Green Bay Film Festival hopes to foster aspiring filmmakers dreams 

as well. This year, it will host a competition for high school students’ films. In 

addition, the Festival will hold seminars that teach aspiring filmmakers how 

to fine-tune their craft by learning about anything from screenwriting to film 

production. 

The Green Bay Film Festival will be held at the Radisson Hotel & 

Convention Center in Green Bay on March 23-25. Tickets available online at 

gbfilmfestival.org.

Sheboygan Falls 

resident Beth Lipman’s 

“Gift Ball,” a perplexing 

bulbous form constructed 

from found objects 

encased in caulk, will be 

on display at the 

Milwaukee Art Museum 

this spring. The 

Chipstone Foundation 

invited 14 contemporary 

artists to break from their 

usual practices and create an art piece using just one 

tool for an exhibition called “The Tool at Hand.” 

“Gift Ball” is an obvious deviation from Lipman’s 

usual works which use clear glass to re-imagine 

Renaissance and Baroque still-life pantings. 

A memorable example of this is Lipman’s 

“Laid Table (Still Life with Metal Pitcher),” a 

dining table overflowing with hundreds of 

clear glass representations of urns, pitchers, 

floral arrangements, fruit baskets, puddles of 

spilled liquid, wine glasses and napkins which 

is part of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s 

permanent collection. 

Lipman says she enjoys working with glass 

because the medium imitates life. "Glass is 

symbolic of the whole life cycle," she states. 

"It comes from a molten place, it can be 

shaped, it can break much in the same way 

we get sick and die." For “The Tool at Hand” 

exhibition, Lipman knew she would have to 

find a new medium. “It takes so many tools 

to make 

anything in 

glass,” she says.

ongoing. View native Wisconsin 

animals such as otters, cougars, wolves,

more. Climb a viewing tower outside 

the building to view

Lipman’s 

“Gift Ball” 

“I would not have been able to conceive the task with 

glass.” 

When “Gift Ball” was created, the caulk was white, 

hiding all the found objects within, but the found 

objects will slowly appear as the the caulk cures and 

turns clear. 

“[“Gift Ball”] was really inspired, I think I will be 

using caulk in the future,” Lipman says. 

Although Lipman isn’t a Wisconsin native, she’s 

proud to call Sheboygan Falls home. “There's a lot of 

super great things here,” 

she says. At the apex of 

the “super great” is the 

John Michael Kohler Arts 

Center in Sheboygan, 

where she has been 

coordinator of the artistin-residence 

program for 

five years. “If [the Arts 

Center] was in New York 

it would hold its own,” 

Lipman claims. “The Arts 

Center is so amazing.”

Spring 2012 ARTS GUIDE | 15

Art Thoroughfare 

A form of public street art, known as guerrilla art, is impacting the Fox 

Cities. The art form affords everyday citizens the opportunity to express 

their creative perspective — a privilege that has traditionally been reserved 

for an elite few. Guerrilla art pieces are often installed in the stealth of the 

night by anonymous artists and can require little to no capital. 

“Inevitability public art raises issues of funding,” says Lawrence 

University Associate Professor of Art Rob Neilson. “Funding effects whose 

point of view is being monumentalized. With guerrilla art, none of those 

issues of funding color the project itself.” 

Former Lawrence University student Jennifer Gabriele, who conceived 

and executed a guerrilla art project during the winter of her junior year, 

argues the validity of guerrilla art is found in its ability to reach a wide 

audience. 

“The fact that [the guerrilla art movement] gets art out in a public 

space is huge,” Gabriele says. “It bridges that gap from closing art off in 

galleries to opening it up to the public.” 

After noticing the striking resemblance between her last name and the 

name of a College Avenue furniture store, Gabriele strategically applied 

vinyl letter “e”s to the business’s name printed on seven glass doors, 

altering it to match her own surname. 

The rogue letters, carefully created by a professional sign company as 

to not cause damage to the glass, that Gabriele installed remained for 

about two weeks before being removed by the business. 

Guerrilla art is as passionately opposed as it is celebrated, with some 

critics contending it translates more like vandalism than artistic expression. 

For Neilson, the very dialogue guerrilla art creates is a positive byproduct. 

“In Northeast Wisconsin we are having this great discussion about the 

definition of art,” he says. “That’s an invaluable experience for all to 

partake in.” 

For a glimpse of a recent guerrilla art project, visit the tree stump left 

behind by last summer’s devastating wind storm in front of Lawrence 

Memorial Chapel on College Avenue in Appleton. Lawrence University 

student Will Meadows transformed the tree remnants into an original 

sculpture, “The Understanding.”

all the metalwork for the bench. In honor of 

Mrs. Hess’s love of water, Hunting created the 

boat-shaped bench to represent a vessel for 

traveling. The bench was donated to Bergstrom-

Two mainstays in the Fox Valley music scene have experienced some 

changes in their staff lineup. The Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra 

announced a new executive director last fall, and the White Heron 

Chorale established a new executive director position, hiring Jeanie Kurka 

Reimer. 

Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra 

The Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra 

announced a new executive director in 

September, Roseanna "Rosie" Cannizzo. 

Cannizzo is responsible for overseeing many 

aspects of the organization including 

furthering the artistic goals of the symphony, 

organizing programs and raising funds. 

"Fox Valley Symphony is a wonderful 

organization that does many things very well. 

I am excited to be a part of a group of 

people so passionate about orchestra and 

the community,” Cannizzo says. “It’s been 

great fun diving into new projects, I go home at night and sit on the 

couch and think of what else I can do.” 

Cannizzo has been a part of the Fox Valley orchestral scene for years, 

first graduating from Lawrence University (LU) with a dual degree in Piano 

Performance and English to most recently working as the Director of 

Conservatory Admissions at LU. 

Cannizzo’s future endeavors as executive director include integrating 

symphonic players into unknown places in the community, like during the 

lunch hour at Zuppas, child care facilities at the YMCA and at the 

Heritage Retirement home. "One of our challenges is to make the 

community aware of symphonic music and make sure that symphonic 

music is relevant in our community," Cannizzo asserts. And it looks like 

Cannizzo is up to the challenge. 

White Heron Chorale 

Jeanie Kurka Reimer became the first executive director for the White 

Heron Chorale this year. As executive director, Reimer will focus on 

maintaining the organization’s consistent 

achievement of its mission and financial 

objectives. 

“Music is all about the things I value: 

collaboration, community and enrichment,” 

Reimer says. “These elements are critical to 

the success of non-profits and I’m thrilled to 

join an organization which shares that goal.” 

Before taking this position, Reimer 

worked extensively in the field of social 

justice. Her background includes work in 

organizational development, donor contact, 

fundraising, non-profit governance and 

regional/national leadership for a series of non-profits. She holds a 

master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a 

bachelor’s degree from Lakeland College.

Hortonville School District trumpets its success in music 

education 

The Fox Valley can add another musical accolade to its already 

burgeoning repertoire. Recently, Hortonville School District was awarded 

by the NAMM Foundation as one of the “Best Communities in Music 

Education.” This distinctive honor, given to 179 school districts and 

schools, acknowledges and celebrates the schools, their administrators, 

teachers, board members, parents and students for their support of music 

education. 

Hortonville High School Band Director and Music Department Chair 

Greg Forton realizes that this achievement is not just institutional, but an 

effort resounding throughout the community. 

“This is a community-wide award, and the reason for that is because 

we are so strong in our traditions and cultures, and a love for heritage in 

our area,” Forton says. “It is a tradition in our area to go to the music 

programs. Everyone in the community is helping out by going to concerts, 

coming to musicals, fundraising and supporting our music programs.” 

Fostering a student’s musical education is important for a student’s 

development because it, “provides an emotional outlet [and] organizes the 

mind,” Forton ensures. Mary Luehrsen, executive director of the NAMM 

Foundation agrees, stating, “There is a direct correlation between music 

education and success in other areas of a student’s life.” 

Forton thanks communities surrounding the Hortonville School district 

for enabling them to create such a musical environment. “There are so 

many wonderful communities in the Fox Valley area,” he says. “This award 

is not just a reflection of the Hortonville School District, but the Fox Valley 

community as a whole.”

Programming 

Makeover at the 

Weidner Center 

Change is coming to the Weidner 

Center for the Performing Arts in 

Green Bay, but it’s the schedule, not 

the architecture, that’s getting a 

facelift. 

Attracting an increased number 

and variety of bigger events are main 

goals of the Weidner Center, in hopes 

to appeal to a wider audience and increase ticket sales. Specifically, the 

Weidner Center is looking to program more classical dance, family 

programming and music, says Kate Green, director of programming for the 

Weidner Center. 

The Weidner is also hoping to create a profitable business model over 

the next five years, increasing their budget from $1.5 million to $2.2 

million. Money from the university will increase slightly and remain steady 

while most increases will come from fundraising sponsorships and grants. 

The majority of funds will go toward paying artists’ fees, but will also 

support increased staffing and a more aggressive marketing campaign. 

Revitalization efforts are expected to situate the Weidner Center as the 

premiere venue of the arts for everything from Broadway acts to local 

organizations to faculty and student performances. 

“Obviously we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, we're not fooling 

ourselves about that, but we have a lot of supporters on our side and I 

think we have a lot of friends out there who are going to help us grow and 

develop," Green says. 

The Weidner Center will announce their 2012–2013 season of 12–18 

events late this spring when “dramaphiles” will pile into their seats to 

witness the beginning of a theatrical renaissance. Visit uwgb.edu/weidner
