Madison conference probes Jewish identity in art, artists | Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle
Madison — Milwaukee-based digital artist Beverly Richey decided to go to Madison this week primarily to meet a friend.
That friend had said she would be attending the conference “Practicing Jews: Art, Identity and Culture” that the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Mosse/ Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies hosted this week. So Richey decided to go to the conference as well.
But after she attended the weeklong conference’s first day Monday at the university’s Pyle Center, Richie was glad to be part of the event.
She heard ideas and observations that “will affect my thinking about my own work,” said Richey, who is Jewish.
She was not the only one of the 96 people present Monday who felt that way.

Hi All,
Luna – thank you for connecting this group to me!
Bev, Adria, Miriam, & Jonathan,
I really enjoyed looking over the works and statements you’ve shared so far. I certainly like to connect about the possibility of showing your works in our space. Brief answers to your questions are below. Are you familiar with our space? Would you like to come by Riverside Park sometime in the next two or three weeks? Or we could get on the phone to talk further.
- When would the space be available to exhibit?
The current exhibit will be coming down in late March or early April. New works could be hung mid-April. - How long would the show be on exhibit?
We generally host for a period of 3 months. If you hung in mid-late April, the work could be on show May-July. - Who does the press release and media contacts?
Urban Ecology Center will promote on our social medias and website. You can submit a press release and do any additional promotions you would like. - Who hangs the artwork?
Artists are responsible for hanging and removing their artwork. I’m available to assist as needed. - Who is responsible for the Opening reception?
We would work together to coordinate and host the opening. - Is the Artwork insured while it is on exhibit?
The artwork displayed in our building is insured. It’s worth knowing that this space is also used as a classroom and will be a homebase for our summer camps in June & July. That means plenty of students get a chance to appreciate the art! It also means there is a slightly higher chance of damage than in traditional exhibit spaces. - Will Urban Ecology take a percentage if there are any sales made? if so what is that percentage?
Yes, we would request 20% of sale. We do not charge for visitors to attend the opening or view the works during showing period.
Please let me know if you have any other question.

The Place of the Artist
Artist’s Statement: Bev Richey 2019
These works relate to the theme of the place of the artist in several ways. They are of this current time exploring and expressing issues related to the awareness of self and interconnectedness with others. These works explore duality, unity, transmission, transformation, and the messiness and necessity of it all.
We are living in a moment when scientists and mystics alike are coming together to share their insights on consciousness. What does this have to do with Jewishness? In a most basic way.. Jews have been asking these types of questions for centuries. We are living in an age of connectedness and disconnectedness with both ourselves and each other. The Jewish experience includes both an inward and outward journey. As Jews, we develop our inner spirituality but we must also function in the community.
As an artist, I am aware of the necessity to prepare and practice for the accelerated changes we are currently experiencing and will continue to witness in the coming decades. These works record the results of my desire to express my insights and beliefs related to inner awareness, outer connectedness, and my need as an artist to function as part of the greater whole.

History of New Haven Arts 1987
I introduce the history of this publication as a way of sharing how the development of this local Arts Newspaper became a central factor in the development of New Haven as a thriving Arts Community.
Let me start by sharing the image of this two-sided single sheet poster size publication dated March 1987.
In 1983-84, I began as a board member of the Arts Council. I was young and quite unknowledgeable about the workings of a non-profit organization.
At that time I was apprenticing and then co-directing the Papier Mache Video Institute and needed to better understand the organizational workings of a non-profit. PMVI had been a recipient of an early Arts Award from the Arts Council. It made some sense for me to look to that organization for support and development of PMVI.
I joined the board and then four committees, which committees I am not sure of at this moment. The one committee I was not allowed to every join was the Audubon Street development committee. The rest seemed open to having me join them.
I believe I spent a year attending board meetings and committee meetings. Bitsie Clark herself a new executive director supported my learning and corrected me as I navigated the closely followed policy and operations guidelines for the organization.
After delivering my first Press Release to the New Haven Advocate, I was informed as to what the job of a PR person was, I realized that I was both uninterested in doing that job and did not believe that type of work was in the best interest of the organization itself. I wanted to form a communications department instead. I wanted to transform the monthly calendar publication into a local informative Arts Paper with a wide free distribution. I envisioned it in stacks next to the several other free monthly alternative publications in highly trafficked local businesses, galleries, and government and office buildings. In my mind this was how we were going to get the message out that New Haven had a thriving local arts community.
There was a basic problem that needed to be overcome for that to happen. The calender was used as a membership benefit. Once a month these rather expensive 17"x 22" double-sided printed on glossy paper were printed in small runs and mailed out only to Arts Council Members. The concern was if we made this publication free, why would people join the AC. Membership was an important part of the organization's annual budget.
It took several years in committee to slowly begin to develop the leadership and the vision to move beyond this thinking and to significantly increase the number of these monthly calendars and begin to make them available to the broader public free of charge.
This all happened in the formal structure of the communications department. As head of the communications department and former board member, I developed the skills to put a supportive board committee to work towards these goals. With the cooperation and visionary support of Board members Rick Camp (marketing director of First Federal Bank of Connecticut) and artist, photographer, and teacher at Educational Center for the Arts the Communications Department committee was on its way to creating a sustainable direction for the Arts Council's flagship publication, serving local artists and arts organizations.
The calendar morphed over the years into an important monthly publication with important articles focusing on the local arts community.

ARTIST BIO: BEV RICHEY
Born in New Haven, CT, USA Bev Richey was exposed early in life to the separation of head and heart and raised in an intellectual community while living in a spiritually intuitive Jewish home.
This early dichotomy continues to inform her art practice..
As an artist, arts organizer, and arts administrator she encouraged and supported artists and non-artists alike to work together on ephemeral public artworks. This work reached a pinnacle with a commission by the city of New Haven that incorporated over a hundred active participants from diverse backgrounds working together to develop and deliver over 3500 pieces of birthday cake free to the New Haven community.
Having accomplished numerous artistic goals related to community and inclusivity, Richey was then ready to move on. Her experience growing up in a deeply divided community created an interest in exploring issues related to private versus public. This made the midwest fertile ground for her interests. Settling on a ridge in the driftless region of Wisconsin, Richey was inspired and informed by the natural world as well as the nearby small but diverse communities.
A move to Milwaukee a decade later brought the opportunity for her to re-engage in urban culture. She was able to advance her interest in Art History studies at UWM and in 2013 joined the Midwest Jewish Artists Laboratory. The Midwest Jewish Artists’ Laboratory was founded and directed by Jody Hirsh, Jewish Education Director f funded by the Covenant Foundation. It was founded and directed by Jody Hirsh, Jewish Education Director at the JCC became central in Richey’s art life. She credits the focus of a yearly theme of study, semi-monthly sessions with an annual exhibition requirement, combined with developing relationships with other Jewish artists, as a critical factor in her current studio practice. After six years of active LAB participation, Richey remains committed.
Richey has an undergraduate degree in psychology followed by university studio art classes, an artist apprenticeship, and advanced studies in Art History. In her early years working as an arts administrator, she co-founded and co-directed several artists’ organizations while serving on local nonprofit arts boards.
Richey continues to keep up with developments in the field of neuropsychology including neurotheology. She is currently focusing on the role the mind plays in the physical and spiritual realms. Her work is informed by scientific research, as well as ancient and contemporary spiritual teachings.
