'DREAM, CREATE, INSPIRE'
September 18
- September 19
Time: 11 AM TO 2 PM
(Click here for more details)
In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, the Schauer Arts & Activities Center, 147 N. Rural Street, Hartford, WI, invites the community to the unveiling of a permanent piece of public artwork. Entitled ‘Dream, Create, Inspire,’ the clay mural will be dedicated in a brief ceremony on Saturday, September 18 at 11:00 am.
‘Dream, Create, Inspire’ was created by over 700 participants at a Clay Stomp® on June 12, 2010. Participants stomped to mix the clay and etched designs in the clay after it was formed into panels. The decorated clay slabs were taken to artist Joel Pfeiffer’s studio in Hartland. Pfeiffer cut each slab into tiles to be fired and glazed. The tiles were then reassembled into three, metal frames that have been manufactured through the assistance of Steel Craft Corp, Sno-Way International, and Hartford Finishing. The final piece will be installed outside the Schauer Center, to the left of the main entrance.
The unveiling will take place outside, between the Schauer Center and Hartford Recreational Center at the site of instillation. Speakers will include Hartford Mayor Joe Dautermann, Clay Stomp® artist Joel Pfeiffer, and Schauer Board President Dr. Mark Lindberg. Commemorative merchandise will be for sale and photos from the stomp day will be on display inside the Schauer Center until 2:00 pm.
“’Dream, Create, Inspire’ will serve as recognition of the community’s patronage and support of the Schauer Center over the past 10 years,” says Executive Director Thomas Robbins. “We are grateful for all the businesses and individuals who were involved in making this cultural event possible.” The Clay Stomp® was funded by the Hartford Area Foundation, First National Bank of Hartford, Hartford Savings Bank, and West Bend A Mutual Insurance Company.
With the Ruth A. Knoll Theater and Suckow Family Art Gallery, the Schauer Arts & Activities Center is a non-profit regional center for the arts, staging professional touring performances, as well as shows by Hartford City Band, Hartford Community Chorus, The Hartford Players, and the Kettle Moraine Fine Arts Guild. The Schauer Center also offers visual and performing arts classes for all ages. Facilities are available to rent for social and business functions.
