Fred Dolan Academy provides intensive visual arts preparation for low-income students For many of the young people served by Children’s Aid, the visual arts are viewed as impractical or as hobbies. The idea of pursuing art as a career can be a foreign concept, even among the most talented. Arts education is typically very expensive, with limited financial aid available.

Started by two professional artist/illustrators, the Academy is an intensive preparatory program in the visual arts for low-income students in grades 8-10 enrolled in Children’s Aid’s Bronx-based community school programs. Dolan Academy is a school year program, engaging 27 students for three hours (10 am — 1 pm) each Saturday. Every student spends equal time each session on drawing and painting, developing their visual acuity and creating a range of artistic ability. The Academy’s overall goal is that, by the time the students complete high school, they will have developed work portfolios that will make them truly competitive candidates for art colleges. To do this successfully, the program emphasizes strong academic standards.

Trying to find the name of this artist?
About 2 or 3 years ago now, I saw a sculpture at the Portland Art Museum it was shaped sort of like a globe, but larger. I think the sculpture had a tilt to it. I felt like I could have stared at this thing for hours…there was something so transfixing about it. Unfortunately I didn’t save the brochure I got when I went to see it. Can anyone tell me the name of the artist?
I thought it was a woman, but do you mean this guy?
