Spotlight on the Arts: Steve Beckman, Traditional Watercolorist
2015-12-28 08:00 - 17:00 UTC
Spotlight on the Arts: Watercolor Artist Steve Beckman
Every Saturday in January 2-6 PM Opening Reception January 9, 2016 2 to 4 PM

The Hallet Oak Gallery will feature watercolor artist Steve Beckman for its January Spotlight on the Arts. Born in Vandalia, Illinois, Steve was interested in drawing and painting from an early age and pursued that interest throughout his school years. With a degree in art from Illinois State University, Steve has exhibited in many juried shows and won various awards. His work is held in private collections throughout the United States and Finland.
Steve’s paintings are characterized by vibrant color and extreme values—strong lights against powerful darks—and bold compositions. His subjects vary from birds and cows and horses to boats and landscapes. Viewing his paintings almost evokes the thunder of horses’ hooves or the slapping of waves against a dock. Steve currently lives in the Hallettsville area.
Steve will be at the gallery to share insights about his art from 2 to 4 PM on January 9th for an opening reception. Receptions will be held from 2 to 6 PM on the following Saturdays throughout January.
The Hallet Oak Gallery is located at 115 N. Main St. on the Square in Hallettsville in the historic Kahn and Stanzel Building designed by famed architect James Reily Gordon. The Gallery seeks to enhance art appreciation for the community as a whole—from grade school students to senior citizens—and to introduce visitors to Hallettsville to the talents and flavors of this region. Tours and visits are free. Donations are welcomed.

Christkindlmarkt at the Hallet Oak Gallery
2015-12-19 09:00 - 20:00 | Hallet Oak Gallery
CHRISTKINDLMARKT AT THE HALLET OAK GALLERY
In the weeks before Christmas, cities throughout Germany offer an open air market, Christkindlmarkt. Originally markets to buy winter necessities, they developed into Christmas Markets and a Christmas tradition. Shoppers at Christkindlmarkts sip warm drinks as they stroll among vendors of Christmas goods: tree ornaments, wreaths, candles, baked goods, candies, and other comestibles.
The Hallet Oak Gallery, located in the famed Kahn & Stanzel Building, will host Hallettsville’s first Christkindlmarkt December 19th from 9 AM – 8 PM. Dr. Betty Edwards, owner of the building, is sponsoring the event. Tables are now available to market cookies, noodles, strudel or other items with local charm or international flair. Enhancing the Christmas spirit from 6-8 PM, pianist Denise Drozd and vocalist Ruth Najvar Rouse, will perform traditional Czech, German, and Polish music. Spotlight on the Arts featuring award-winning artists Roy and Blanche Cavarretta will continue during the event, and the Majek Vineyard and Winery will provide free wine tastings from 2-8 PM.
Houston physician Dr. Betty Edwards serves on the boards of various organizations and has restored a number of Texas buildings to preserve their history. She founded the Cultural Events Center in Hallettsville and continues to support the arts through the Hallet Oak Gallery. Das ist Lustig trio will perform traditional German Christmas music from 4 to 6 PM. Hallettsville’s favored pianist, Denise Drozd is well known for her performances at local churches, and special occasions for half a century. Drozd loves show tunes as well as classical music and spends many hours rehearsing. Ruth Najvar Rouse, a devoted St. Mary’s Church Czech Choir vocalist and cantor for twenty years, eine Bisschen Deutsch, especially loves performing the traditional German songs O Tannenbaum and Stille Nacht. In appreciation of the rich traditions of her Czech and German roots, Ruth notes: “Could there ever be a more perfect continuum between the past and present than the blending of Christmas and music? In whatever language, in whatever time, it is glorious!”
Mieko Mahi opened the Hallet Oak Gallery in 2015 with the help of Dr. Edwards and numerous area supporters. Featuring both local and internationally acclaimed artists, the Gallery and its supporters seek to foster art appreciation in the community, to work with young people through the school curriculum, to offer leisure learning opportunities for senior citizens and students, and to expose visitors to the local talents and flavors of this region.
Famed architect James Reily Gordon (1863-1937) designed the Kahn & Stanzel Building, which expresses Italianate, Neo-Grec, and Romanesque Revival architectural styles. Measuring 30 x 91 feet, with cast iron thresholds stamped Kahn & Stanzel, it is light and airy by day and exudes the glow of antique street lamps by night. With a view of the historic courthouse outside and the pleasing ambiance of colorful art inside, the building offers a unique venue for business, educational and entertainment needs. For more information and to sublease, visit www.halletoakgallery.com or call 361-217-7030.

Local School Ornament Project! Enjoy and Buy!
2015-11-28 09:00 - 17:00 | Hallet Oak Gallery
Hallet Oak Gallery Sponsors Christmas Fundraiser for Area Schools
The Hallet Oak Gallery is offering a fundraising opportunity that will showcase the talents of young artists in South Central Texas. The Gallery will supply Christmas ornaments for students to decorate. The decorated ornaments will be on display on the Gallery’s Christmas tree and for sale during Hallettsville’s annual Festival of Lights celebration on the square and through the Christmas season.
Participating schools will receive 70% of proceeds from ornament sales. When an ornament is sold the Gallery will replace it on the tree with a photo of the artist’s school and the artist’s first name.
Teachers are asked to contact the Gallery by November 20th to pick up ornaments for their students. Join Hallet Oak Gallery in beginning a new tradition and making this fundraising opportunity a success for your school!
Every Christmas season, the Lavaca County Courthouse is lit with white lights entirely blanketing the entire downtown square — a Hallettsville City tradition since 1996 called Festival of Lights. The Hallet Oak Gallery will be open for the festivities, and every Saturday thereafter from 9 am to 9 pm.

Deadline for School Participation in Ornament Project for Festival of Lights
2015-11-20 16:00 - 19:00
Hallet Oak Gallery Sponsors Christmas Fundraiser for Area Schools
The Hallet Oak Gallery is offering a fundraising opportunity that will showcase the talents of young artists in South Central Texas. The Gallery will supply Christmas ornaments for students to decorate. The decorated ornaments will be on display on the Gallery’s Christmas tree and for sale during Hallettsville’s annual Festival of Lights celebration on the square and through the Christmas season.
Participating schools will receive 70% of proceeds from ornament sales. When an ornament is sold the Gallery will replace it on the tree with a photo of the artist’s school and the artist’s first name.
Teachers are asked to contact the Gallery by November 20th to pick up ornaments for their students. Join Hallet Oak Gallery in beginning a new tradition and making this fundraising opportunity a success for your school!
Every Christmas season, the Lavaca County Courthouse is lit with white lights entirely blanketing the entire downtown square — a Hallettsville City tradition since 1996 called Festival of Lights. The Hallet Oak Gallery will be open for the festivities, and every Saturday thereafter from 9 am to 9 pm.

School Ornament project details:
“Please have ornaments (there is not a limit) delivered to the gallery a one time by the 20th, and have the ornaments tagged with a unique number, school name, student’s first name, and grade, and most importantly, the price (a minimum of $10)
and please supply an inventory sheet that reads:

Inventory Sheet Example:
Main Contact: School, Class teacher name, mailing address, phone, email:
School initials001) Red and white ornament by John S. $10
School initials002) Black and orange ornament by Sara S. $24
Also, please make a school ornament on construction paper that can be hung in place of the ornament once it sells, one per hand-painted ornament.
It could be as simple as the school colors and the school name on it or a photo of the school on it. This will keep the tree from looking bare, and show off the participation.” – Mieko Mahi, Gallery Director, 361-217-7030, mieko@halletoakgallery.com
