A6 Local Culture wallowa.com March 1, 2017 Wallowa County Chieftain Maxville to host Smithsonian exhibit By Kathleen Ellyn Wallowa County Chieftain It’s the next step in a pro- gression that is putting Wal- lowa County’s Maxville Her- itage Interpretive Center on the national map. Gwen Trice, Maxville Center founder and executive director, has been steadily working to improve her own skills as a museum/inter- pretive center director and spreading the story of black loggers in Oregon. Now, that steady work is paying off in national recognition. After winning the pres- tigious 2015 Oregon Wom- en of Achievement award, Trice caught the attention of the Smithsonian Institute, which was planning an Af- rican-American Conference with a panel of people from Oregon talking about their his- torical work. Trice was chosen to be part of that panel. When she attended that conference in August 2016 the story of Maxville and the inclusion of blacks amidst whites at a time when the Ore- gon Constitution contained an exclusion clause that targeted African Americans. And the Smithsonian took a closer look. Kathleen Ellyn/Chieftain Gwen Trice, founder and executive director of Maxville Heritage, stands before the poster exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution’s “National Museum of African American History and Culture” which she brought to Eastern Oregon. Paul Gardullo asked Trice to contribute to the Smithso- nian collection. Gardullo is museum curator for the Na- tional Museum of African American History and Cul- ture, Smithsonian institution Capital Gallery. Trice also applied for train- ing through the National Asso- ciation for Interpretation. She was the only Oregonian se- lected for the training, which she completed on James Is- land in South Carolina. She is now certifi ed to present traveling exhibits and interpret exhibits. When Trice heard about a new poster ex- hibition created by the Smith- sonian’s Traveling Exhibi- tion Service in collaboration with the National Museum of African American Histo- ry and Culture, she contacted the Smithsonian through the Black Pioneers program and secured the exhibition for Eastern Oregon. “I said I would take it for two months and then called Alice Trindle of Eastern Ore- gon Visitor’s Association and said I wanted to share it with Eastern Oregon,” Trice said. “They were very excited and got involved right away.” “A Place for All People” highlights key artifacts and tells the rich and diverse sto- ry of the African American experience in poster displays. From the child-size shackles of a slave and the clothing worn by Carlotta Walls on her fi rst day at Little Rick Central High School to Chuck Berry’s Gibson guitar, “Maybelline,” and the track shoes worn by Olympian Carl Lewis, the exhibition presents a living history that refl ect challenge, triumph, faith and hope. The commemorative post- er exhibition begins in Joseph on March 1 through 8, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m with an open house on March 2 from 6 to 9 p.m, where light refreshments will be served and local dignitaries and Trice will do short presen- tations. The Museum is located at 103 N. Main Street in Joseph. Trice will also be doing pre- sentations at the other show- ings of the poster exhibition in La Grande at the Arts Center East, March 10-16; Four Riv- ers Cultural Center in Ontario, March 17-23; Baker Heritage Museum in Baker City, March 24-30; Eastern Oregon Uni- versity in La Grande, March 31-April 7; and in the Pendle- ton area, April 8-21. Locations in Pendleton TBA. Receptions will be held the fi rst night at each location. Trice emphasized the con- tinuing theme of “inclusion” and working together by crediting the Oregon Histor- ical Society, Eastern Oregon Visitor’s Association, City of Joseph, and US Bank in helping the tour become a re- gion-wide event. Joseph Charter School sec- ond grade and a home-school group have already booked special times to view the ex- hibit. Wallowa County school districts are encouraged to bring their student body by contacting Trice at 541-426- 3545.

It is a March 16 performance, at 7:30 p.m. in the McKenzie Theater on the EOU campus in LaGrande, Performers for this concert hail from Wallowa, Baker, Malheur and Union Counties. The Grande Ronde Sympho- ny Orchestra, along with mu- sicians from Ontario, will be supporting the voices of the EOU Chamber Choir, Grande Ronde Community Choir, Treasure Valley Concert Choir, and Treasure Valley Chorale in the presentation of Brahms’ Requiem, under the baton of GRSO’s Zeke Fetrow. Rebecca Replogle, director of choirs at Treasure Valley T HE B OOKLOFT AND Skylight Gallery Community College, will be the featured soprano soloist. Peter Wordelman, director of the EOU Chamber Choir, will be the featured baritone soloist. The death of Brahms’ close friend, Robert Schumann in 1856,and of Brahms’ mother in 1865, both played a large part in encouraging Brahms to write the Requiem, though he never actually attributed the composition to either per- son.
