The two works to be installed Charles Culver\u2019s watercolor Sleeping Fox<\/em> and Douglas Hoagg\u2019s Untitled <\/em>pastel are from the collections of the Dennos Museum Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be a part of the Traverse City Art Banner Project for large scale art that the entire community can enjoy.\u00a0 Leelanau Studios is an idea location, \u201csays John Robert Williams, Photographer and a member of the TC Art Banner Committee.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> \u00a0works from the museum\u2019s collection that have been reproduced and hung with the Banner Project as part of the events related to the celebration of The Dennos\u2019 25th<\/sup> anniversary in 2016,\u201d says Gene Jenneman, Executive Director of The Dennos, \u201cthis effort is designed to draw attention to the Dennos collection and is also part of the lead up to the anticipated construction of permanent collection galleries for The Dennos in 2016, thanks to a major gift from Diana and Richard Milock.<\/p>\n

The Traverse City Art Banner project is the brainchild of former NMC Art Department Chair Paul Welch, who along with a committee of artists and art supporters has been seeking empty walls on downtown Traverse City buildings and asking the owners of the buildings to allow them to become outdoor galleries with reproduction banners of art by regional artists; former NMC art students and imagery from the collections of the Dennos Museum Center, which is a collaborative partner with the Banner Project.<\/p>\n

The art banners are hung for several months, during which the Committee and Dennos are working to select new images and find additional buildings to become outdoor galleries for the work.<\/p>\n

The project is supported by private donors who provide the funds for printing and installation by Britten Studios of the reproduced art works. Anyone wishing to support the project should contact Gene Jenneman at the Dennos Museum Center.<\/p>\n

The installation of the Charles Culver<\/strong> Sleeping Fox<\/em> and Douglas Hoagg<\/strong> Pastel<\/em> joins the Yousuf Karsh<\/strong> portrait of Ernest Hemingway and the Katsushika Hokusai<\/strong> Great Wave<\/em>, along with Run Before the Wind<\/em> by Madonna Walters<\/strong>, Calvin Boulter\u2019s<\/strong> work entitled A Space Time Continuum,<\/em> and the work Thunderbird Man<\/em> by Aboriginal Canadian artist Norval Morrisseau<\/strong> from the collections of the Dennos Museum Center, that are currently hanging on buildings in downtown Traverse City.<\/p>\n

Background details follow:<\/p>\n

The Banner Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charles Culver (1908 – 1967)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born in 1908, Culver worked in a commercial art studio in Detroit, while pursuing a career as a fine art artist. He spent summers in Bellaire, Michigan and painted the northern Michigan landscape and animals at the zoo in Traverse City.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles Culver was a true artist,\u201d wrote E. P. Richardson, former head curator of art at the Detroit Institute of Arts, \u201cby this I mean that what he did in art came from within himself.\u00a0 It did not come from a teacher or a school, or a fashion of painting, or from the pages of a magazine.\u00a0 It came from his own way of seeing the world, of which his painting was the disciplined and sensitive expression.\u201d<\/p>\n

Culver\u2019s success resulted in a New York City exhibition in 1940 that brought him national recognition for his work. Culver rejected being defined as a \u201cregional\u201d artist, yet much of his subject matter was based in Michigan. \u201cCulver\u2019s paintings record his emotional and aesthetic response to the visible world.\u201d writes Gordon & Elizabeth Orear in an unpublished biography on Culver, \u201cIn his philosophy of art, the artist’s responsibility is to give beauty to life, to reveal the wondrous variety of nature\u2019s art, and thereby raise the human spirit above the concerns of daily living and of the routines of business that threaten to obscure the mind’s sense of wonder.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to being a painter, Culver was a poet and musician. He died in 1967.\u00a0www.charlesculver.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Douglas Hoagg <\/strong><\/p>\n

Douglas Hoagg is a fine artist currently residing in Traverse City, Michigan who works in several artistic mediums from wood, chalk, paint and even aircraft aluminum sheets. Hoagg\u2019s works have been shown in national and international exhibitions and is included the collections Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC and the Dennos Museum Center, Traverse City.<\/p>\n

Hoagg holds an MFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland where he was enrolled at the Hoffberger School of Painting with Grace Hartigan \u2013 Director and Salvatore Scarpitta – Artist in Residence. He has a BFA from the Center for Creative Studies – College of Art and Design, Detroit, Michigan and has studied at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Deer Isle, Maine.<\/p>\n

In addition to being a working studio artist, Hoagg has served as an adjunct faculty member in the Art Department at Northwestern Michigan College.<\/p>\n

About his work he states:\u00a0The Act of Making, the experience of manipulating materials is most important.\u00a0 It is through this process that the expression of ideas and emotions exists.\u00a0 The Artwork is the visual record of my process and makes information visible.\u00a0 Through symbolic interpretation I find meaning.<\/em>
