Worley Faver - Pottery
Exhibit
August 22 - November 7, 2009
Inspired by the ancients, this
Floridian artist travels regularly to Sante Fe,
exploring Pueblo history and encouraging his deep
desire...his call to create. His hand-building and
polishing techniques, akin to those of the Anasazi
Indians (pre 14th century) assure that each one will
be different. A reception for Mr. Faver will be held
on November 20th. Mr. Faver will also teach an adult
pottery workshop in the Center's Art Studios. Call
for date and time (580) 226-0909.

John Kingerlee Exhibit
July - September 2010

The Gathering
by John Kingerlee |
Paintings are
touchstones, a myriad of paint strokes, each with
their own specific gravity, valence, and charge.
From this magical contact, from this continual
return, an image emerges, as if rising from the
surface like a mirage. This simple miracle of the
painter's art, of the material passing into the
phenomenal, like the body transfigured into spirit,
is at the heart of John Kingerlee's work.
This exhibit will
feature a special presentation by Dominique Nahas
who is a noted are critic and independent curator
based in Manhattan. A newly elected member of the
board of Association International des Critiques
d'Art, he is currently the Interim Director of the
Neuberger Museum and former museum curator at
Everson Museum.
Jack Dowd’s Last Call
Fall 2010
Jack Dowd’s show, Last Call,
at the Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota,
Florida drew 40,000 visitors and the opening was the
best-attended in the museum’s history. Dowd
was born in New York in 1938, and attributes the
influence of the great American films of the
post-war world with igniting his imagination and
firing his quest for adventure.
The Goddard Center will present excerpts from Robert
de Warren’s contemporary ballet, “Last Call” which
brings to life Jack Dowd’s art installation exhibit
of the same name. Dancers from around the
country will depict the characters found in Dowd’s
exhibit minutes before closing time in a typical New
York City bar. The performance of “Last Call”
will coincide with the opening of Jack Dowd’s
exhibit in the Goddard Center’s galleries in
September of 2009. The Goddard Center is
thrilled to have this ballet kick off the 2009/2010
Performance Season
