Creative Haverhill displays local artist’s work at Kids Fest

More than 15,000 people came downtown Haverhill for Kids Fest this past May.
Creative Haverhill helped many artists display and sell their art to those in
attendance with one of their Pop-Up Shops, similar to the Shops@90Wash seen
downtown last Fall. In addition to showing off their art, Kids Fest is a perfect outlet
for artists to make a name for themselves in the community and meet potential local
partners and buyers.

Creative Haverhill will sponsor the Shops@90Wash for two full months - starting in
November – which allows more artists to display their work to the community.

Haverhill Artist Restores Church Windows

Paul Prue, a Haverhill resident and artist,has been working in the old Armenian
Church on Route 125 in Haverhill, MA repairing the old stained glass windows. Here
he is inspecting the window for the wave effect that occurs as a window ages and
gravity pulls down on the glass. Prue will flatten all of the windows at the church
and restore them to almost new condition in a matter of weeks.

Two Very Different Artists Make Beautiful Music Together
Connor Hayden (left) andPaul Prue (right) may have a 30-year age difference and
two diverse backgrounds, but when they get on stage you’d think they have been
playing together for years. Prue is a stained glass artist who lives and works in
Haverhill and has for over 25 years. Hayden is a young music lover who just came
back from teaching English in Turkey for a year after graduating from Holy Cross
University in 2010. Creative Haverhill has brought these two together in a way that
only art can. The upcoming video documentary presented by Creative Haverhill on
HCVT channel 9 will showcase artists like Hayden and Prue in the spaces where they
work and live.

Photo Opportunities:

1. Studio picture of an artist describing/showing off their work.
Arrive at the scene where Creative Haverhill is recording a new episode of
Public and Private Passions. An artist will be set with a scenic background-
either in their shop, at home or out in Haverhill- and will be talking about
what they love most: art. Sixteen distinct artists will be featured in the video
documentary.

2. Because Public and Private Passions is a video documentary series there will
be many opportunities to take still images from the recorded footage. Each
week on Friday from noon to 3:00 pm David Zoffoli will be editing the
recordings that will take place earlier in the week at HCTV on Elm Street in
Haverhill, MA.

3. Many photos can also be taken of the featured artists in the shops where they
work. One example of this would be going to the Origamido studio and
watching as MichaelLaFosse folds what appears to be an ordinary piece of
paper into a masterpiece. He can take a single paper and fold it into a lifelike
butterfly or squirrel or a series of papers into something larger such as a pig
or armadillo. Michael makes all of his own paper and designs all of his own
creations. At the Origamido studio private and group lessons are held daily.

4. All over Haverhill you will find artwork. When walking down Merrimack
Street starting at the Post Office and heading towards the new parking garage
you will find pieces such as the Gateway Mural (sponsored by Creative
Haverhill and Team Haverhill) the storefront shops and the Shops@90Wash
(both sponsored by Creative Haverhill) as well as several large pieces in the
small park near the train station. Please visit any of these locations to see
Haverhill’s artists’ work on display where it was intended to be.

5. In many of the video recordings for Public and Private Passions the artist is
asked who has influenced their life with art. In the first episode Sharon
Silverman mentions a high school art teacher who pushed her to pursue
what she loved. By contacting both Sharon and her mentor a photo can be
taken of the two surrounded by their artwork.

For all photo opportunities please contact David Zoffoli
