The intent and purpose of the Art Initiative is to create a welcoming, warm, healing space for patients, guests, staff, and community members who visit the St. Nicholas Hospital through a gallery style display of artwork created by local and regional artists
St. Nicholas Hospital will become an additional gallery space for local and regional artists to exhibit and sell their art work. Christina Wynveen, Cassy Tully’s manager and art director, will serve as a fine art liaison for four exhibition seasons per year.
Artists donate a percentage of the sales of their work back to the Friends of St. Nicholas Hospital fund. This fund helps those in need pay their medical bills acquired while being serviced at St. Nicholas Hospital.
Contributions are also used to purchase much-needed equipment, support programs and services for patients and their families, and provide healthcare-related academic scholarships.
This project was conceived and executed by Andrew Bagnall, CEO of St. Nicholas Hospital; Charmaine Jankowski, Fund Development Coordinator; Cassy Tully, artist and owner of Cassy Tully – Fine Art; and Christina Wynveen, manager and art director.

Sheboygan Visual Artists (SVA) is a growing and active network of visual artists and supporters that enriches the community through the visual arts.
The Sheboygan Visual Artists was founded on July 23, 2007 by Frank Juarez. Its first gathering took place on this day with four artists; Dale Knaak, Stuart Howland, Mary Kuehl, Frank Juarez and one art patron, Dr. Jack Westfall. Since its inauguration its membership has grown from a few members to over seventy artists and patrons today working in all types of media.
SVA has events nearly every month ….Final Fridays throughout the year, Annual Membership Show, Holiday Art Auction and Sale, Artwalk…. where artists work can be available to the public.
SVA members give back to the community in many ways. In addition to regular events which are open to the public, members offer free art workshops through the Art in The Gardens workshops at Bookworm Gardens and Art in the Parks creative workshops for kids of all ages.
The purpose of SVA is to provide local and regional artists with a platform to support, empower, and promote them and their work.
Their Mission is to empower visual artists through professional development and collaboration, to create opportunities for the community to experience and enjoy the visual arts, and to promote member artists and their work.
Philosophy of Education: At the Art Factory, we believe that every individual should be offered opportunities to connect with artists, teach and be taught multiple methods of art making, learn new ways to develop professionally and creatively, and fulfill Sheboygan Visual Artists’ Mission to enrich the community.
The Art Factory seeks out new and exciting methods of creativity while celebrating traditional practices. We encourage experimentation and risk taking during the process of making art. There are no mistakes when learning a new technique, for all actions when making art are viewed as actions of growth, research, and study. Sheboygan Visual Artists contains many experienced art educators that are active as facilitators and mentors for all Art Factory activities.
SVA provides high quality workshops taught by local and regional artists; studio space that is versatile to host figure drawing, open studio sessions, workshops, space for photographing artwork, meeting space, and gallery space; a vibrant and creative learning environment for artists and the community; resources for professional development; connections to other art venues and artists in the Sheboygan County area; and tools to motivate individual progress through art.

Keary at The Pyle Center gallery
I have an exhibition of 52 of my best paintings on the first floor of the UW-Extension The Pyle Center from November 1 to November 27, 2013.
The show is entitled “Keep It Simple” because my mentor James Michael always told me to “Keep it simple”.
The Pyle Center is located at 702 Landon Street, Madison. Open from Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 4:30 pm.
Location and parking information: http://conferencing.uwex.edu/location.cfm
You are all welcome to come to the opening reception next Friday, November 1st from 5 pm – 7 pm. Refreshments will be served.
I am spending a lot of time this week preparing each painting for delivery to the Pyle Center. Labels for each painting. A handout sheet listing all paintings with purchase price,
I hope to see you all there.
I contributed a painting which was incorporated into the Lao, Hmong, and American Veterans Memorial in Deland Park, Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It is the first such monument of its size.
The Lao, Hmong and American Veterans Memorial is a monument to the service and sacrifice of the Hmong people of Laos who fought for the United States during the secret war from 1961-1975. It was dedicated on July 15, 2006 in Deland Park in Sheboygan, which has one of the larger Hmong communities in the United States and was among the first cities to take Hmong asylum seekers and immigrants in the late 1970s.
It seeks to honor and remember all the Hmong who fought against communism. It includes 24 panels dedicated to military personnel who were a part of the Hmong Secret Guerrilla Unit Army that fought against the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in the Secret War, as well as all civilian participants.
I painted two forks for the June-A-Palooza event to benefit Meals on Wheels of Sheboygan County, Wisconsin
The “Fork Field”, a literal garden of forks, showcased the unique talents of regional artists.
Artists from Door County to Chicago painted these one-of-a-kind indoor/outdoor metal fork sculptures for the benefit of the Meals On Wheels of Sheboygan County. These forks were available for bidding in a silent auction.
Forks are either 3 feet tall or 5 feet tall. They are weather resistant and may be hung on a wall or displayed in a garden.
