The Batavia Arts Council has joined Studio-Batavia Visual Arts Boosters in making a grant to the visual arts program in the Batavia Public Schools. A formal presentation was made at the Batavia School Board meeting on Tuesday, June 25th. The two organizations joined together in funding the purchase of a “pugmill” to be used at Batavia High School and Rotolo Middle School. Making the presentation were Jim Sychta, husband of Boosters President Sharon Sychta, Arts Council President Julane Sullivan and Arts Council Board member Sharon Mitchell. Sychta, parent of an art student, is also an active artist at Water Street Studios in Batavia. Sullivan, the owner of All Dressed Up Costumes, is also the director of Shakespeare on Clark. Mitchell is active in the Boardwalk Restoration and of the Batavia Park Board.
This piece of equipment was purchased at a cost of $3500. Most of the funds were provided by the Batavia Visual Arts Boosters. The Arts Council joined with a grant of $500. This will be a significant addition to ceramics instruction. Any clay that has not been fired can be reclaimed. Waste material can be thrown into the “pugmill” and reclaimed in minutes. Considerable savings will be realized. The middle school and high school combined purchase about 10,000 lbs of clay a year with 1/3 of that being wasted. This loss of approximately $833 per year will no longer be realized with the use of the “pugmill.”
The Boosters and the Arts Council are pledged to improve the facilities for ceramics instruction in Batavia schools. A comparison of area high schools shows Batavia’s facilities as less developed than other art departments. Both groups advocate improving this imbalance.
The purpose of Studio - Batavia Visual Arts Boosters is to encourage and promote the activities connected with the High School and Middle School Visual Arts Departments. Studio lends support both educationally and financially to the art students. Studio is a parent run organization supported by friends, relatives, art supporters and community. The goal is to aid the art teachers and students at Rotolo Middle School and Batavia High School and to supply those programs with support and needed equipment.
