FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Greetings to Our Hub on Canal Supporters

Last July we began to chronicle the journey of 5 clay reliefs that have long graced the Magnolia Street wall of our building. These large clay creations depicted historic NSB scenes and were created by local schoolchildren about 23 years ago. They took a beating on our west facade. We decided last year to remove them so that they could be restored to their original glory. The restoration work was done by one of the original consulting artists, Harry Messersmith, throughout the fall and early winter. The Hub is happy to announce that the newly-restored reliefs were unveiled on February 14 in their new home as part of the City's new Live Oak Cultural Center. With a more forgiving east-facing placement and a new patina, they will be enjoyed for generations by all who visit and utilize the beautiful new facility. Please stop by and have a look. We've posted some pictures below.

The clay reliefs' removal, restoration and reinstallation in a new home is not the end of the story, however. That was part 1. Part 2 of what we've called Project Magnolia will see a re-imagination of our Magnolia Street wall. Stay tuned for further updates--a new icon is coming to New Smyrna Beach.

If you are a regular Hub visitor and reader of our calendar and updates you know that January-March is absolutely stuffed with activities and events and workshops and outreach and.........That can mean it's easy to overlook any one individual item. I want to make sure that you do not miss our Annual Spring Sale on March 23. We're proud of the creativity and talent of our diverse group of artists and just one time each year do The Hub and our artists join together to offer wide access to incredible art at unbelievable prices. Plan to come by early on March 23rd because each piece is unique and the selection will dwindle as the day goes on. See you at The Hub!

Richard England, President

JOIN US AT THE HUB ON CANAL
Instructors Cathy Van Lancker and Samantha Hughes worked with students in the Design Thinking Club to create sidewalk chalk art drawings depicting their ideas for energy conservation.  
The New Smyrna Beach Middle School Design Thinking Club
Uses Problem Solving With
Art to Make a Difference
Almost every Thursday afternoon nearly a dozen students at the New Smyrna Beach Middle School come together as a cooperative team to use their creativity and the design thinking process to develop solutions for real world problems.  Students in the Design Thinking Club are challenged to find strategies and alternatives through an open-ended creative process where they learn to research, work together, value differing opinions and develop thoughtful recommendations.  Through this process students learn to make connections and understand how creative thinking fits into problem solving strategies in their world. 
 
This year the students worked together to create a recommendation for the blank exterior wall on the west side of The Hub on Canal.  After collaborating for several weeks, the group presented the Board of Directors with a well thought out plan for the wall.  Many of their suggestions will be included in the final design. Stay tuned as The Hub moves forward with this exciting project.
