Catering the Arts to Your Location

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

Perhaps you may not know that North Shore Academy of the Arts (NSAA) expands far beyond the reach of our Grafton facility.  Our instructors have been traveling to other cities for quite some time to bring PREMIER ARTS ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMING in the visual, performing and literary arts. 

NSAA has brought fine visual and performing arts programming to Bayshore Town Center in Bayshore.  Our Stagekids directors have been traveling to the Hartford Schauer Center for several seasons putting on high quality productions.  Our instructors have taught music and drama in Pre-K facilities in Mequon and Germantown.   Our performers have performed in Cedarburg, Mequon and Bayshore for various key events.  We have gone into public  schools to present assemblies and have fulfilled the need for arts enrichment in a private Milwaukee high school.   We have worked with Nicolet and Homestead high schools. 

With the 10 year anniversary of NSAA, we expect to continue expanding to fulfill the need for high quality arts programming in Wisconsin.  We are excited to launch our 2010-11 season.  If you would like for us to join you at your facility, in your community, on site at your location please email info@northshoreacademyofthearts.org  attn: Sheri or Paula to discuss your specific arts needs.  For more on CATERING THE ARTS grab a brochure!

Andy Berggren

Andy began his journey as a photographer while earning a Bachelor of Arts in Radio-TV-Film at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. After graduating, he came to Milwaukee in pursuit of a career in video production. While continuing to work on his photography portfolio he soon realized that this was where his true passion lies. While specializing in architectural and fine art photography he continues to cover all aspects of the medium. His re-creation of famous images through the use of LEGO has gained attention and defined him as an innovative and unique photographer. 

Adrienne Dyer

Two of my great loves in life are travel and photography. I eagerly stumbled upon my choice of subject as a recent high school graduate. Not realizing how big a part of my life photography would become, I initially took photos of places that were foreign to me as a way to journal my life. That focus quickly changed into a passion for photographing the adventure of difference experiences. The anticipation of the unknown, and the thrill I get when I find a new perspective on a culture inspire me. 

M Randall

I find myself looking for that unique shot that digs deeper into the obvious.  It is usually a close-up that reveals details of an object or setting that is most often missed or unattainable by a passing glance.  I am attracted to weather related opportunities, in which the subject or objects can vanish rapidly.  I consider myself a “new-purist” who enjoys digital photography, but keeps photo manipulation to a minimum if any at all. 

James Prinz

James Prinz is a 1979 graduate of Grafton High School. He received a BFA from UW-Milwaukee in 1986 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1988. Mr. Prinz founded James Prinz Photography in 1987 and works internationally photographing artwork for museums, universities, galleries, collectors and artists. He has had work published in many catalogues, books and also numerous international magazines and newspapers. James Prinz was the staff photographer at the Museum of Contemporary Art In Chicago from 1989 until 1995. He was the principal photographer with the Mellon International Dunhuang Archive at Northwestern University and has traveled to China 15 times to photograph Buddhist caves in the Gobi Desert. His duties with the project also included teaching advanced photographic techniques to members of the Dunhuang Research Academy as well as members of the Cultural Relics Bureau in Beijing. Currently Mr. Prinz has been collaborating with Chicago artist, Nick Cave, and has photographs and videos being exhibited in Cave’s traveling museum exhibition, “Meet Me art the Center of the Earth”. When not photographing artwork for others, James Prinz produces his own landscape photography. Mr. Prinz resides in Chicago with his wife and children.
