Art in Action Auxiliary, a small group of women who think big, is holding its first fund-

raiser, Atelier d’Artistes, on Monday, March 10. The event begins at 10 a.m. at the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club. The new auxiliary was founded in Sep-tember to support Art in Action, which has been bringing art programs to children in the Bay Area since 1982. The benefit’s theme — artists’ workshop — will be carried out with local artists setting up their easels in the clubhouse. There will be an art

marketplace featuring handmade articles, such as jewelry and leath-er handbags, plus art books from Kepler’s and a silent auction. The artists will join guests for a noon luncheon in the club ball-room. After lunch, artist Laura Regan of Woodside, nationally known for her contemporary

wildlife paintings, will be the featured speaker.

New auxiliary Dorothea Nawas of Atherton is benefit chair-man and heads the auxiliary made up of 18

women, mostly Atherton resi-

dents. The auxiliary was

formed after Art in Action founder Judy Sleeth was advised that her nonprofit organization needs

an auxiliary. Ms. Sleeth asked Ms. Nawas to help make it happen. (They knew each other from running the Castilleja School snack bar.) Ms. Nawas called on friends, many of whom were familiar with Art in Action from their children’s schools, especially Phillips Brooks. She recruited local movers and shakers who knew their way around auctions and fundraisers, mostly involving their children’s schools. “We only had six months to pull it off (the benefit). We’ve had tremen-dous support,” says Ms. Nawas. Artists taking part in the event are Melinda Cootsona of Menlo Park; Kim Holl and Pam Priest Naeve of Portola Valley; Felicia Forte of San Francisco; Dinah Cross James of Napa Valley; Claudia Marshall of Half Moon Bay; and Julia Munger Seelos, who is associated with the Portola Art Gallery at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park. Kepler’s Books of Menlo Park and Jo Malone of Neiman Marcus, Palo Alto, are among the vendors. Two hundred guests are expected

New Art in Action Auxiliary to hold first benefit

Mark Gallagher, owner of Atherton Fine Art Gallery in Menlo Park, is holding a first-time children’s art exhibit at the gallery from March 4 to 8. It will feature a selec-tion of artworks by Peninsula children involved in the Art in Action programs. The art will be professionally framed and hung in a gallery setting. Students from Corte Madera School in Portola Valley and Nativity School in Menlo Park will be among those whose work will be on display. Special art pieces have been created for this exhibit inspired by Art in Action lessons. One hundred young artists are taking part in the project, which culminates on March 10 at the Atelier d’Artistes benefit at the Sha-ron Heights Golf and Country Club. The children’s art will be for sale, with all proceeds donated to Art in Action. There will be a special “meet the artists” reception for the young Picassos at 5 p.m. Friday, March 7. A cham-pagne reception for the older set will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 6, at the gallery. Atherton Fine Art Gal-lery is located at 700 El Camino Real in Menlo Park. For more information, call 324-4278.

to attend the event, with tickets going for $75 each. Auxiliary members are hoping the benefit will become a yearly event.

Beginnings Twenty-six years ago Judy Sleeth of Atherton launched Art in Action as a volunteer project for her daugh-ter’s kindergarten class at Laurel School in Menlo Park. Ms. Sleeth was concerned because the school district had cut art pro-grams as a post-Proposition 13 budget measure. As one who had taught art history, she believed art education was a vital means of enriching learning. She still does. “Art is important in general edu-cation, the rounding of the whole person,” she says. Studies show art instruction strengthens skills in problem-solving, creativity, analysis and eye-hand coordination. The first schools to use Art in Action were Laurel, Encinal, Las Lomitas and Phillips Brooks.

Today Art in Action has pro-grams for kindergarten through eighth-grade and serves more than 20,000 students at 80 schools. The program develops curricu-lum based on the great masters, provides art materials, trains teachers and parent docents, and advocates for arts education.

Local schools Local schools using the program today are Ormondale and Corte Madera in Portola Valley, and Nativity and Willow Oaks in Menlo Park. Menlo Park schools now have their own art program funded by the Menlo Park-Atherton Educa-tion Foundation. Art kits are at the core of Art in Action. A kit provides all the instructions and materials necessary for each of the nine sequential programs. There are 12 lessons in each program and each lasts an hour. The detailed, recipe-style pro-gram helps teachers make art a part of their curriculum. (In the beginning, program leaders were

almost exclusively parents, but now classroom teachers also are leaders.) The school pays $300 for each kit — half the actual cost. The Art in Action program has three parts: art appreciation, art history and art skills. After viewing and discussing a painting, students create their own works of art. Docents are trained in the pro-gram by attending three-hour workshops each fall in Art in Action’s headquarters at 3925 Bohannon Drive in Menlo Park. Ms. Sleeth’s partner at Art in Action is program director Bet-sy Halaby. A former professional museum docent, Ms. Halaby is a Stanford graduate with a degree in art. She is also Ms. Sleeth’s next-door Atherton neighbor. In recent years Ms. Halaby has taken over much of the program’s work. She is site coordinator, in charge of training, and oversees the Art in Action summer camps held in 12 recreation centers. Ms. Sleeth still likes to keep in touch and visit local schools to observe the pro-gram in action. She also teaches an art history class at Castilleja. Art in Action’s success these past 26 years proves what Judy Sleeth knew all along. Art is not just a frill to be eliminated when money is tight. It helps children learn and enriches their lives. A

“I’m one of the lucky ones. I’ve followed my dream from day one,” says wild-

life artist Laura Regan. “I can’t wait to go to work each morning.” In her Woodside studio hangs a self-portrait of the artist at age 5. The little figure is wearing red shoes. “We played ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and I never got to be Dorothy, always Toto. So I drew myself wear-ing the ruby slippers. That shows how imagination can empower you,” she says. That self-portrait will be the first picture Ms. Regan shows in a PowerPoint presentation as the featured speaker at Art in Action’s Atelier d’Artistes benefit on Mon-

day, March 10, at Sharon Heights Golf and Coun-try Club. Her talk will stress how encourage-ment from fam-ily, teachers and friends allowed her to follow her dream. She hopes her message of believing in yourself is one the audience will pass on to their own families. Laura Regan was born in Canada and grew up in San Mateo. By the time she was in high school, she knew she wanted to be a profes-sional artist. She studied art at the College of San Mateo and graphic design at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

After college she worked as a graphic artist, painting for relaxation. A gallery owner saw some of her work and asked to show one of her paintings. “It was a Rousseau-like painting. When I gave it to him it was still wet, but it sold,” she says. Ms. Regan is best known for her lifelike paintings of exotic animals. She is especially fond of the big cats (lions, tigers, cheetahs). “I also enjoy painting zebras and frogs,” she says. She paints mainly from photo-graphs — there’s no way a tiger would pose, she quips — and has a large collection of photo-graphs she keeps in files for each animal. Sometimes she uses features from several pictures to

Menlo School teacher Jack Bowen will speak and sign cop-ies of his new book, “A Journey Through the Landscape of Philosophy,” on Thursday, Feb. 28, at Kepler’s bookstore in Menlo Park. The free event begins at 7:30 p.m. Stanford philosophy chair John Perry, who wrote the book’s foreword, will also speak, according to Kepler’s spokes-woman Susan Lider.

Ms. Lider said that the author will donate proceeds from the book’s sales during the week to YES Reading, a non-profit founded in Menlo Park and now working at 10 schools throughout the Bay Area to help disadvantaged children learn to read.

Mr. Bowen is the author of the best-selling “The Dream Weav-er,” a combination of fictional narrative and philosophical thought published in 2006. In his new book, Mr. Bowen “explores the latest on major topics” such as the soul, the mind, morality and science, Ms. Lider said. A Redwood City resident, Mr. Bowen teaches philosophy and coaches water polo at Menlo School in Atherton.

Call Your Realtor Today!

My clients on Arbor Road in Allied Arts made a last minute decision

to list their home during the holidays, knowing this is traditionally

not a prime time to sell. After just 5 days, they were able to negotiate and

get into contract with a clean offer for over asking and a quick close.

They were thrilled! I only wish I had more properties like this to sell to all

of the desperate buyers who are out there

looking...every day of the year.”
