This is the first in a series of interviews with people in Kenosha who may not necessarily be artists, but through their life experience, actions, and their dedicated work ethic make this a better place for the artist community.

Ray Forgianni, a life long resident of Kenosha, and his wife Carole, keep so busy that you sometimes wonder if they’ve been cloned.
Ray, one of the founders the Harbor Market, AHA! Kenosha (it’s current president), as well as, being actively involved with the Kenosha Community Foundation Arts Fund, Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation, The Greater Milwaukee Cultural Alliance and the Kenosha Cigar Club (there is an art to rolling a good cigar), his interest in urban design makes Ray a very sought after person to work with.

When someone mentions the word playhouse to me, I think of cute little dollhouses. Those Disney castle versions, maybe 2 feet by 3 feet with the back open so dolls and furniture can be moved in and out by my granddaughter or one of her friends over for a visit. Imaging one slightly larger, oh, say in the range of eight feet by ten feet by ten feet, has never crossed my mind. I mean who would build something like that?

Congratulations to the Kenosha HarborMarket on a successful 2008 season’s opening day.

“It is the HarborMarket goal to enhance the quality of life for Kenosha Area residents and to attract visitors by operating a lively and attractive public gathering place at HarborPark . . .

… At the same time to provide an educational forum for consumers to learn the uses, benefits, and preparations of quality, locally grown or prepared food products, and to view demonstrations in various arts media, including the visual and performing arts.”

from the Kenosha HarborMarket website

The market is open 9am to 2pm every Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through the end of October.

The Bongo Boys playing “Josephine” at the Kenosha Harbor Market’s opening day, May 24, 2008.

See you there!!

ArtWorks is calling all artists to submit work to “Water.”

Water is essential. The importance of water is obvious and universal, yet it can embody a deeply personal and sometimes spiritual significance. It enables life, but can also take it away. It is in this duality that artists have found inspiration. Whether literal or symbolic “water” is the theme to this show.

Water is open to artists working in all media (some size and weight restrictions apply). We will accept up to 3 pieces per artist and there is a flat $10 fee to enter. We will accept and display the best work from all entries. The submission deadline is June 9th. Additional details and a show prospectus is available at our website: www.artworks-kenosha.com
