THEME & DESCRIPTION:
ENCOUNTERING OUTSIDER ART IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
A series of special guided explorations about the mysteries of human art-making (both visual and performative) and why art is not just what certain white men called “artists” (who learned how to draw representationally and perspectively) defined as the only “real” art. There is, in fact, a whole other universal and global tradition of skillfully and imaginatively “making visible” or “making/seeing/experiencing something hidden and special in the world.” This includes tribal art, children’s art, art of the insane, prison art, self-taught art, visionary art, folk art, and so on – or just about everything outside of what elite Western tradition presumptuously called fine or schooled art by excluding everything else. In the contemporary sense, to be an “outsider,” or in this case, an “outsider artist,” loosely means someone who in some fashion is marginal to mainstream culture, someone who does not depend on, or conform to, what is taken as the prevailing cultural norms. There can, of course, be a light and dark side to being an outsider in that real innovative forward-looking creativity, or a dark regressive demonology, can both flow from a culturally unmoored imagination. Be careful.Venture Academy V will explore some of these issues in a general and semi-traditional historical and academic way (lectures, films, discussion), but will focus primarily on a concrete case of outsider art as exemplified by Bethlehem’s own late great outsider “found object” artist Mr. Imagination (aka Gregory Warmack, 1948-2012; see among numerous other articles and videos, catalog essays, and book chapters, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO52kzGUgxk&t=6s ).
The academy will also include some volunteer opportunities for hands-on project-based creative activities in the recycled environmental art park on the Lehigh campus inspired by Mr. Imagination.

“I have attended your spring gala each year for the last 4 years and it continues to be one of the best fund raising events I attend each year. The food is always top notch, the location is perfect, and best of all the entertainment provided by your incredibly talented students makes the gala a perfect evening. My guests always thank me for inviting them, and comment on what a great event the gala is to attend. Please keep up the great work, I’m proud to sponsor a table each year, and look forward to a very entertaining evening once again this year.”— Rob C.
“Our daughter began her Charter Arts journey last year and immediately we knew this was the right choice for her. We decided to attend the gala as a show of support for the school and a nice night out. We had an amazing time. We expected the food and entertainment to be great … and they were; but, the best part was meting other parents. I would encourage any parents to attend the gala and request to be seated at one of the “parents” tables. We had a great time and made some new friends too. Hope to see you at this year’s event!”— Denise M.
