Vanderburgh County Commissioners Award Parenting Time Center
With ARPA Funds

AUGUST 8, 2023

With the support of the Vanderburgh County Council, the Vanderburgh County Commissioners were proud to award Parenting Time Center with $50,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds.

To respond to the public health emergency impact with respect to COVID-19 and its negative economic impacts, Vanderburgh County appropriated funds to non-profit organizations whose missions focus on arts, culture, and educational initiatives benefiting the County’s residents. Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP) was selected by the County to administer the funds for community development, grant administration, financial management, and grant close-out services for the funds. Through its facilitation and scoring process, E-REP made the recommendation of the Parenting Time Center to the Commissioners.

Parenting Time Center’s mission is to empower parents and children to create positive relationships in a safe and nurturing environment. Opened in 2009, Parenting Time Center is the only professional supervised visit and exchange center in a nine-county area of Southwestern Indiana, as well as Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky. Children come to Parenting Time Center as victims of family conflict and are given the voice and knowledge of how to have a healthy relationship with their parents. Parenting Time Center’s vision is to break the generational cycle of fragile families through services, partnerships, and collaboration.

Tennessee painter Mary Laube to display work at USI’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art

0

The University of Southern Indiana’s New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art (NHGCA) is proud to present Parallel to the Earth, featuring paintings by Tennessee artist Mary Laube.

Parallel to the Earth runs from Saturday, August 12 to Saturday, September 16, opening with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, August 12 in conjunction with New Harmony Second Saturdays. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Laube and other Korean Americans often experienced otherness as they gained knowledge of their Asian heritage through bits and pieces while being socialized in predominantly white communities. Her work transforms the concept of identity in the diaspora. She sees her paintings as objects—containers that store memory and desire, exercising the right to deny interpretive aid. She explores the dynamics of individual identity juxtaposed with broader collective formations of culture. Laube’s art practice looks at museum artifacts, architecture, and land related to historic preservation, and she reimagines these objects as paintings, which, in turn, become artifacts of displacement, reunion, decolonization, memorial and myth.

In Parallel to the Earth, we see idealized or romanticized versions of mundane objects. These objects are flattened but dimensional. The use of light and shadows allude to things happening in the periphery. Often, Laube’s paintings become a way to converse with ancestors by use of metaphors from Korean Shamanism. Her paintings are both a vestige of the past as well as a repertoire of the present, a form of storytelling capable of change.

Laube, who was born in Seoul, Korea, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Illinois State University and a master’s in fine arts from the University of Iowa.

Past exhibitions include the Knoxville Museum of Art, Ortega y Gasset Projects in New York; VCU Qatar, Doha; Monaco, Missouri; The Spring Break Art Show, New York; and Coop Gallery, Tennessee. Artist residencies include Yaddo, Wassaic Project; the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; Vermont Studio Center; and Stiwdeo Maelor in Corris, Wales. Past publications include Art Maze Mag, Maake Magazine and New American Paintings. In 2019, Laube received the Contemporary Visual Art Bronze Award from AHL Foundation. She is a co-founder of the Warp Whistle Project, a collaborative duo with composer Paul Schuette. Together, they make work merging kinetic stage sets with musical performances.

The NHGCA at the University of Southern Indiana promotes discourse about, and access to, contemporary art in the southern Indiana region. The NHGCA is a proud outreach partner of the University of Southern Indiana.

This exhibition is made possible in part by Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana and the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts.

BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY LIVE AT THE VICTORY THEATRE SEPTEMBER 24

0

TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, AUGUST 11,2023

Evansville, IN– April, 2023, marks the 30 year anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early nineties in Ventura, California, the band has toured virtually nonstop, performing on average over 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music, with sales of over 2 million albums to date. Early on, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in
Los Angeles, they reminded the world, in the midst of the grunge era no less, that it was still cool to swing. The band, co-founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz, swing, and dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s all original core line-up includes Scotty Morris (lead vocals and guitar), Kurt Sodergren (drums), Dirk Shumaker (double bass and vocals), Andy Rowley (baritone saxophone and vocals), Glen “The Kid” Marhevka (trumpet), Karl Hunter (saxophones and clarinet) and Joshua Levy (piano and arranger). Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have taken shape as much more than a simple tribute. Taking inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form, the band’s original horn-infused music and legendary high-energy show introduces the genre to a new and younger generation while remaining cognizant and respectful of the music’s rich legacy. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy first phase of stardom featured an appearance in the 1996 indie film Swingers, a movie that not only launched the careers of Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau, but introduced Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to an audience beyond their Los Angeles base. The band's music has appeared in countless films and television shows, including The Wild, Despicable Me, Phineas & Ferb, Friends, Third Rock From The Sun,
Ally McBeal, and So You Think You Can Dance. They have appeared live on Dancing With The Stars, Late Night With Conan O’Brien, NBC’s Christmas in Rockefeller Center, The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, a remarkable seven appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the Super Bowl XXXIII Halftime Show. The band has also appeared as special guests with many of the country’s most distinguished symphony orchestras, and has performed for three U.S. Presidents. After 30 years, 11 records, over 3000 live shows, and countless appearances in film and television, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is showing no signs of slowing down, and is looking forward to sharing its music with new and old fans alike, in 2023.
