  The Marshalltown Performing Arts Center Foundation and the Marshalltown Community School District/High School, in partnership with the Arts & Culture Alliance, are excited to announce Stephen T. Johnson was chosen as the finalist for his work of art “Scherzo” to be permanently installed at the Marshalltown Performing Arts Center later this fall. The “Scherzo” sculpture will consist of colorful abstract forms based on musical notations such as the bass clef, the forte f and musical notes, plus three kinetic mouth-shaped forms at the top that celebrate the rhythms, sounds and ideas generated within this outstanding performing arts venue. The title “Scherzo” refers to a short orchestral piece of music, especially in the second or third movement of a symphony or sonata. Scherzos are vigorously composed and are typically light and playful in character with intensely interesting, fresh, and familiar themes. “It is with great eagerness and excitement that I begin the process of creating a lasting artwork for the Marshalltown Performing Arts Center. The dynamic twists and turns along with kinetic features is my most ambitious sculptural work to date. I must also acknowledge the care and attention that Executive Director Amber Danielson and community members have shown in our conversations regarding this commission and look forward to many more over the coming months as the work unfolds. I hope that my piece titled “Scherzo” will make the city proud, serve its function as a beacon of light and joy for the Center and will contribute in its way, to the rich tapestry of public artwork in Marshalltown,” states artist Stephen Johnson. Stephen Johnson’s rich body of work forges connections between words, objects, and ideas. His art spans a broad range of concepts and contexts and can be seen in site-specific public art commissions, gallery and museum exhibitions, and original award-winning children’s books such as Alphabet City, a Caldecott Honor, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year. Among Johnson’s public art is a 70-foot mosaic mural at the DeKalb Avenue Subway Station in Brooklyn, New York, a 60-foot mosaic mural at the Universal City Metro Station in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, and 33 glass panels for the Dallas Love Field Airport in Dallas, Texas. His latest commission was three large glass mosaic murals for the Lenexa City Center Library in metropolitan Kansas City. “A special thank you to the selection committee members consisting of: Marshalltown community members; Marshalltown Community School District students, staff, and board members; Marshalltown Performing Arts Center Foundation; and the Marshalltown Public Art Committee. This project exemplifies a collaborative effort to support public art in places of social gatherings, creating a sense of community for all to enjoy,” states Marshall County Arts & Culture Alliance Executive Director Amber Danielson. The Marshalltown Performing Arts Center regularly includes performances by the Marshalltown High School Show Choir, Orchestra, Chorus, Band, Jazz Band, annual dance studios’ performances, and by Live on Stage, which hosts world-class performing artists from all over the world. The Marshalltown Performing Arts Center is a pride point for showcasing and amplifying the arts and culture in Marshalltown.

 In honor of our 17th birthday last month, we partnered with Child Abuse and Prevention Services (CAPS) to raise funds for art supplies to support the utilization of the arts in their programming and services. With the help of our community, we are thrilled to share that over $800 was raised!
“The Alliance is continuing to seek ways to connect the community with arts and culture and we are thrilled for the opportunity to partner with an amazing local organization who makes an incredible impact on our youth through the services they provide in Marshall County,” said Executive Director of the Alliance, Amber Danielson. This effort began in 2020, first in partnership with YSS of Marshall County. During the last year, we have watched the power of the arts heal and transform the youth at YSS. We knew this would be an impactful effort but we couldn’t have anticipated the depth of healing and transformations we would witness. With such a huge success, it was important and critical to continue this effort and spread the impact by partnering with another youth focused organization in 2021, Child Abuse and Prevention Services. “The support from the community on this effort is amazing. Thank you for the opportunity to further strengthen families in our community. These funds will help spark their creativity and contribute to lifelong learning”, CAPS Associate Director, Nikki Hartwig, shared. Child Abuse and Prevention Services’ mission is to prevent child abuse in Marshall County and the surrounding area. They serve over 8,000 children and their families in Marshall, Hardin, and Tama Counties through our various programs. Child Abuse Prevention Services works with children and families to cultivate a home environment where children can grow and develop to their fullest potential. They want families to know that learning with their child can be fun. Making homemade toys and supplying arts and crafts activities that promote parent-child interaction are great ways to encourage children to be creative while gaining essential skills.

Fundraising efforts for the project began in 2020 and the selection committee was formed in early 2021. Selection Committee members represent the Marshalltown Community School District staff and school board, Marshalltown Performing Arts Center foundation, Marshalltown Public Art Committee, students and community at large. On March 1st, the call to artist was released and a few weeks later the committee received almost 50 applications from all over the United States. “We were blown away by the quantity and quality of the applications we received from artists all over the country. This has been a passion project for everyone on the selection committee. It has been so exciting to witness the enthusiasm and talent from artists interested in having their work in Marshalltown,” said Amber Danielson, Alliance Executive Director. PROJECT GOALS
The Marshalltown Performing Arts Center is utilized by our students and entire community. Student performances regularly include the Marshalltown High School Show Choir, Orchestra, Chorus, Band, Jazz Band and more. It hosts many of our local dance studios’ annual performances and is a pride point for showcasing and amplifying the arts in Marshalltown. In addition, it is used by several community organizations such as, Live on Stage, which hosts world-class performing artists from all over the world. Bonnie Lowry, School Board Member and Foundation representative, shared, “this magnificent auditorium has provided endless opportunities to showcase student and international artists. The Community of Marshalltown has once again come together in a collaborative effort to support and visually celebrate the performing arts through placing a piece of public art outside the Marshalltown Performing Arts Center.” The next step in the process, which is very important, is community engagement. Over the next 2-weeks the committee will be attending events throughout Marshalltown seeking input and feedback from all community members. In addition to in-person events, the community is invited to provide input online. Upon receiving community input, the selection committee will make its final decision by Friday, July 9th and has hopes of the artwork being installed before the end of the year (weather dependent).

 The Arts & Culture Alliance is proud to partner with the Animal Rescue League of Marshalltown to create a mural by local artist, Julie Bousum of Quiet Cove Creations. The mural will be located in an internal space where visitors are invited to interact with adoptable pets. The mural will be used for taking pictures of adoptable pets to share with potential adopters. “When the Animal Rescue League reached out to us about a mural we were thrilled to partner with another impactful local non-profit organization. We were even more excited when we heard they wanted it to be a Marshall County Artist. The Alliance is dedicated to supporting, engaging & amplifying our local artist community while providing opportunities to collaborate, network, learn and grow. We are enthusiastic about creating a sense of community to help artists succeed”, said Alliance Executive Director, Amber Danielson.

Their facility takes in stray and unwanted animals in Marshall County and attempts to find as many as possible new, loving homes. Approximately, 150-200 domestic animals cross their threshold each month in need of shelter and care. Animal Rescue League Volunteer Coordinator, Jessica Volcoord shared, "our shelter is so excited to have a bright mural showcased in our shelter by local artistic talent.

We have given out many, many canvases and paint and what we have seen in return is a youth that is more open and able to discuss issues that are relevant. We have learned about family dynamics, goals for the future that can be used to stay focused, and those things that cause fear but cannot be so easily described in words,” shared Ryan Keller, lead Therapist at Youth and Shelter Services. *See video recap from YSS Child Abuse and Prevention Services’ mission is to prevent child abuse in Marshall County and the surrounding area.

This mural project was funded by the Fauna Nord and Kelli Thurston Realty Team. “We are greatly appreciative of the generous donation of Fauna Nord and Kelli Thurston,” said Alliance Director Amber Danielson. “This contest is an opportunity for our community to come to our downtown and showcase this beautiful Marshalltown mural.” The mural was painted on the North wall of La Salud in the alleyway off of North 1st Street in the Fall of 2020. It is next to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, which just recently re-opened after being renovated from extensive tornado damage. The contest will run from May 10 through May 22 and a winner will be randomly selected on May 24.

The mural celebrates and symbolizes the migration and journey many Latinos make to America, specifically to Marshalltown.

In an effort to increase the safety for students in Marshalltown, the Arts & Culture Alliance has partnered with the City of Marshalltown and the Marshalltown Community School District to create vibrant sidewalk murals at each of the schools in Marshalltown. In May of 2019, our community tragically lost 8-year-old, Christian Maxon, after being struck by a car while crossing the street after school. We believe the arts provide hope, healing and are a creative way to address and solve community challenges. It is our priority to honor and pay tribute to Christian and his family by increasing safety, awareness, education, beautification and engagement in the arts through this project. “We believe this is a critical and significant opportunity to address the challenge of street safety in our school zones, while engaging students in a creative and educational way. We are honored to lead this project to pay tribute to Christian and his family,” said Arts & Culture Alliance Executive Director Amber Danielson. Last fall the project kicked off with the first mural painted at Franklin Elementary School, the school Christian attended and where the accident took place. Franklin’s mural has a special dedication to Christian including a lightning bolt, representing Flash his favorite super hero, and his favorite color, blue. Quickly following Franklin, murals were painted at Woodbury and Rogers Elementary before winter struck. There are 11 schools in Marshalltown, including the 9 schools in the Marshalltown Community School District, St. Francis Catholic School and Marshalltown Christian School. Now that spring is upon us, we are working with the remaining 8 schools in Marshalltown. Ames artist, Lauren Gifford, has graciously granted us copyright of the mural design giving us the opportunity to spread the message throughout the community beyond just the sidewalk murals. We are working with Sign Creations to put the mural design on durable yard signs that will be placed at each of the schools’ busy intersections and crosswalks to share the message to drivers traveling through school zones. The mural design has been translated into Spanish allowing the street signs to appear in both English and Spanish. Thanks to the City’s Street Department, we know there are 90 school zone cross walks throughout Marshalltown. We are asking for the community to help us support the final stretch of this project. Approximately $6,500 is still needed to complete 4 of the 11 school murals and support the yard signs at each of the school zone crossings. Over $12,000 has already been raised to support this project. We are grateful to partner with Diamond Vogel Paint-Marshalltown, who has donated over 30 gallons of paint for the project. Any additional funds raised beyond the $6,500 needed, will be allocated to the maintenance program which consists of a small team of local artists who have come together to help us do an annual touch up of each sidewalk mural to ensure they stay vibrant and fresh for the students and community. MCSD Superintendent Dr. Theron Schutte said the project serves as a powerful way to honor Christian’s life and as a critical safety reminder. "MCSD is very excited to partner with the Marshall County Arts & Culture Alliance on the Sidewalk Mural Project in honor and remembrance of former Franklin Elementary student Christian Maxon. It is a step in the right direction of providing more education, support and attention to the critical importance of safe practices for motorists and pedestrians within our community,” Dr. Schutte said. The mural design and verbiage “Look Both Ways” was selected for many important reasons:
“I’m hoping this campaign will remind all people to be hyper-vigilant and careful any time they are driving or crossing the street because even if you have the right of way and follow proper safety precautions, there is no guarantee that everyone else will,” said Christian’s mom, Brittany Maxon. “We want to bring awareness to everyone - children, adults, drivers, and pedestrians - anything to prevent another family from suffering our heartbreak. Christian would want that. He loved everyone and would want his loss to help bring awareness and keep others safe.” To make a tax-deductible donation toward the School Sidewalk Safety Mural Project: Please make checks out to Arts & Culture Alliance – send to PO BOX 386, Marshalltown, IA, 50158 Online Donations Accepted at www.artsandculturealliance.org/support *click the donate button and select sidewalk mural project ### For more information or questions, please contact us at (641) 752-ARTS (2787) or director@artsandculturealliance.org Learn more about the project at www.artsandculturealliance.org/marshalltown-murals  |
