Hudik E-mail: shudik@ramapo.edu Phone: 201.684.7845 WOVEN TREASURES EXHIBITION OPENS AT RAMAPO COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY ON NOVEMBER 12, 2014 (MAHWAH, NJ) Woven Treasures: Selections from the Collection of Ira and Rebecca Spar opens in the Pascal Gallery at Ramapo College of New Jersey on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 and continues through December 12, 2014. An opening reception will be held on November 12 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a collectors talk at 6 p.m. The exhibition features a variety of art including costumes from Provence, santons (dolls) and ethnic hats and textiles from Asia and Africa. We have travelled all over the Near East, North Africa and Southern France in search of hand-crafted textiles and have purchased works by women and men whose creativity has so captured our imagination, said Ira Spar. The presence of their work has brought constant joy to our home. Costumes from Provence feature fully dressed manikins wearing traditional village and town costumes form the period of the French Revolution to the mid-19th century. Also on display are 21 santons (little saints) created by the award winning French santonnier, Simone Jouglas in the 1940s. Her creations feature Provence villagers dressed in 18th century French fabrics with painted expressive facial features. Ethnic hats and textiles on view include a wide range of tribal headdresses from Africa and colorful hats from the oasis cities of Central Asia. Ira Spar is a professor of ancient studies in the Salameno School of Humanities and Global Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey and a research assyriologist in the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Rebecca Spar is an education and disability rights attorney with Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman and Leonard in Hackensack, N.J. The Pascal Gallery is located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts. Pascal Gallery hours are Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. This program is supported in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

This is, in part, due to its unique interdisciplinary academic structure, its size of approximately 6,008 students and its pastoral setting in the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains on the New Jersey/New York border. Established in 1969, Ramapo College offers bachelors degrees in the arts, business, humanities, social sciences and the sciences, as well as in professional studies, which include nursing and social work. In addition, Ramapo College offers courses leading to teacher certification at the elementary and secondary levels. The College also offers seven graduate programs as well as articulated programs with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New York Chiropractic College, New York University College of Dentistry, SUNY State College of Optometry and New York College of Podiatric Medicine.  8DMN[\deflmwչƟuh[huhuuNh**䴳ϴa"] XG@ ޫ73=Yie}VWWUWWu1 Mø?x<h<05x25mg}}/jMm (1W]]ZFXU-;cݠG?}{ҵC[6N|q+VcC#Ǻ^7K_7~{S͂N$qqYX,$NN :aq񃴝tH𕨫ƕ'GF(O%bHҠ!iBHwS?i^1!ħÄpKGO(Bʰ [L6{%!eo* <>1C,FYKIPP(':^u XaP xC I"x,Dr*x1/X _ AWԼHN7 awH%3$/4^`\Kr@5\',X}pR 4DQ!O8-fxmqѲSxKB4ZuO+ * _)Z{-bX<ƤD,DJTůQԐW1T^*8[`V*2/-*`E&+fU !>ixrCaք.4σXVZQ\ AHTh^TBk !z50ꓻ$>9SPV?0(,\,1#(0ub+%KHu"ʒ2nAv4,H 2) 0FVbK)]J;y\j(M&h( Ʌq3@ U-AC*6ZVA9H)7IW E Ҹ 0#7`P % T@AK JY<@@\HlJUsSFmqH\ʁY(Js~,iXA, E`(lb; h!aBz@<(L!h @t^hf0逋x`p"ep{:xVC - 5(FBd6aHS= RyzLlG>NI{*13TȊ3.ŎdA"{xNL½h˜p|T1`Vtrݟ(i++pKγ+Y$*SPJa^ǜƖ™|q&d\@ۏ+ xb˽0"}D\ $_J N"g 2ŧ2̉Ԙ9&Fv *&w8y UAL]O$$iAIAGiDK{pi.HDZjWbS_\QUP'%Jyq 9y@ߌS7WUL|6TZAٛk39-#ɹ7pD`a' g?%DI_rz 8ތΆS(b/ BkbO933K t'׃R/%YKr.eD=qQ[$t}鐇0WYWV1]U,qrc}?.|q(8^bmjNJ\s>+(VıJ(|TƢ>Jx%DT"_A%mBl@2Ɖ7^2\Hgj\.,R.6Y}K'^>ԔF EtcJi))\oҐJ7t(J#aX@Bra?AxicUA/?!ÑZ#Ӑ""_=}FG(sXS8SXD70_Hf u]u1X^L'H<[KHQ^slzĊR}`:Fiq?0BXk(:IH@~{)Lt@f?Nv2|r@ӹyB2>Y8> {|OJ\>ѷ+"*K"*eY&AR>{@,X΄(BaZP>ĩI&>%t/d w oM™`%2契7t  $"M"J:l  Bוr&:'?$u幂= ŗ87C`:Wx#,}XX6JLY MՐ ) 4|KlcP: F *qOa%rBWnI?,{x8E=ڲA?+h106]74Ѿjݥo8P)R i_*Nbb_2*.۾u]rp;=1~\Ԧo.ݥ {hݪ~]2pQw{~^jhxp[o]V*jW)J,h$/AI n-D(ҡmcݡv(Vn@x;Pj uҕU.62޾k–SɔK?i^!y/]OlxEC6 ;z#qZW~+ZF"9m2A#q%^|睺3+;~G4aqs=mwl{&:Oߞ}q2a2ݨg [hyj5SdzU٪}lfv}y^lyͭ5ZWN7ׂcXk 6׃Ќ?1A:^zn뾩Vmy6!xxo/WqߩM |w#+_Qa!FN457[j, wɾ1Z4 ~_W j:~ Hg_ %Z?{| W_u[+Ktq!bƑa>.mox55Wkkq]8s]xn sD37i}dx}<8cyw6;Pq|s1]tQcXdjZp͋5W60GyqLy,ʱͨİt+7dz۳ڮyְ1_7Զm?bT̰v-cǯɚAʴƑLz;3sdau-"mŽ>{$z5^lաҳ쌽s'0ݴ~ɰ;b-\6.ư't i6A]{[m=b>[6{l@:em`!s >X{t56b-lAO>oǼtvyOab͠5GMX0Zz_T,Whzft;-[skZ 2^[L+#GAj/YjZmq>1%2gLve=ΙW]@+xb-7cV :z :t|uysyhyCg#:?u;}>V!glunV|h h\;aAaj:uO@ˠoO!߰#}iO?}~e O9+q'7}>>svDgnwi}ڼ}Լǧ;Ztgi37xNsYW0>>\}|::e>V6K>>݇/{}n >ƀlkl:>ڥA}6(-^i:daFox/] :t YfC?٧]mN@AW,Y33 =L+.oW?bZ0t>h?x~CҾھMQu ]oϲ֭)g:ξ(uvQ쓍ҾSs,?Θ2rMԵ3m2ͱ?4\d3;7Nnk5n_ǧ<>Ȟۜm͹jj\i>9/~ טk1[{ESz}Q~xd|[𡧌#҇Coα6`7wπty޿ng6~\s9oz=H9B= fíL=Ĵvi1ͱ/ImWdNw!ik_uh (Zaҭ'+sTr=*3]htunkZ]:2\ ڗ9Czh3fٹؾ9s}>߉@(FC92ſH[{fZˆC1op"DOh0ǘG.F\3K!FBw};[N{=ioc_࿃Ǚ~̑o9|\wPgeqطXgAAWY십^crh4Ϟ tXˍVgΞ}+σ0Y5ƯoqUjި}5Lk=RG͹scjy?^_2.]mg{je}s:th|b~Iw#hw=vAۍqs{f9;k\7n2o]o,62]ˍ[׀F@7Z7n֏~&ћ? ȼڌͿuؼźsSWDNkMӢ2z5%w4\\9 DyK yK 6mailto:sjenkins@ramapo.eduDyK yK dhttp://www.ramapo.edu/berriecenter/art-galleries/666666666vvvvvvvvv666666>666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666hH6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666662 0@P`p2( 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p 0@P`p8XV~8XV~ OJPJQJ_HmH nH sH tH J`J 5Normal dCJ_HaJmH sH tH `@` 9 Heading 5d<@& 56CJOJPJQJ\]aJDA`D Default Paragraph FontRiR 0 Table Normal4 l4a (k ( 0No List 8O8 \apple-style-span4U`4 , Hyperlink >*phToT 9Heading 5 Char 56CJOJPJQJ\]aJFV`!F 90FollowedHyperlink >*B*phR@2R 'b0 Balloon Text dCJOJQJ^JaJNoAN 'b0Balloon Text CharCJOJQJ^JaJPK!pO[Content_Types].xmlj0Eжr(΢]yl#!MB;.n̨̽\A1&ҫ QWKvUbOX#&1`RT9<l#$>r `С-;c=1g'}ʅ$I1Ê9cY<;*v7'aE\h>=,*8;*4?±ԉoAߤ>82*<")QHxK |]Zz)ӁMSm@\&>!7;ɱʋ3װ1OC5VD Xa?p S4[NS28;Y[꫙,T1|n;+/ʕj\\,E:! t4.T̡ e1 }; [z^pl@ok0e g@GGHPXNT,مde|*YdT\Y䀰+(T7$ow2缂#G֛ʥ?q NK-/M,WgxFV/FQⷶO&ecx\QLW@H!+{[|{!KAi `cm2iU|Y+ ި [[vxrNE3pmR =Y04,!&0+WC܃@oOS2'Sٮ05$ɤ]pm3Ft GɄ-!y"ӉV . `עv,O.%вKasSƭvMz`3{9+e@eՔLy7W_XtlPK! ѐ'theme/theme/_rels/themeManager.xml.relsM 0wooӺ&݈Э5 6?$Q ,.aic21h:qm@RN;d`o7gK(M&$R(.1r'JЊT8V"AȻHu}|$b{P8g/]QAsم(#L[PK-!pO[Content_Types].xmlPK-!֧6 -_rels/.relsPK-!kytheme/theme/themeManager.xmlPK-!!Z!theme/theme/theme1.xmlPK-! ѐ'( theme/theme/_rels/themeManager.xml.relsPK]# ] "_] ]  2 ] ]XX8@0( ( B S  ?$+z_8] c _:::Z~-Vk ^`OJQJo( 8^8`OJQJo(^`OJQJ^Jo(o  p^ `OJQJo(  @ ^ `OJQJo( x^x`OJQJo(H^H`OJQJ^Jo(o ^`OJQJo( ^`OJQJo(h^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHohp^p`OJQJo(hHh@ ^@ `OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHoh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJo(hHh^`OJQJ^Jo(hHohP^P`OJQJo(hH~-         -,Y +.yg~3v; ?@J^ReV`,Xs4Z+\'bgvg'Zpyru@ABCDEFIRoot Entry F KData $1Table%R#WordDocument4"SummaryInformation(7DocumentSummaryInformation8?CompObj` F Microsoft Word 97-2004 DocumentNB6WWord.Document.8
