shainberg art gallery Tennessee Craft-Southwest in the art gallery 2/1–2/27

Tennessee Craft-Southwest (formerly known as MACA, Memphis Association of Craft Artists) is a chapter of Tennessee Craft, a Statewide organization to promote fine craft and support craft artists in Tennessee. This show encourages collaborations between artists in different media. Participating artists collaborate with a fellow artist who works in a different media and together they submit a piece for the show. In addition to the collaborative piece, each artist may submit work of their own.

Memphis/Germantown Art League in the art gallery 3/1–3/27

A nonprofit organization of visual artists whose purpose is to aid its member artists in their professional growth and in the development of their artistic skills by providing exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations, and other continuing education opportunities. In addition, the League works to enrich the community by presenting original fine art in public exhibits, participating in other community art activities and supporting art education in the schools. Organized on August 16, 1976, as the Germantown Art League, the group was chartered on June 22, 1977, as a nonprofit Tennessee corporation. In May 1988, the organization’s name was changed to Memphis/Germantown Art League in recognition of the wider geographical distribution of its members. Today the organization includes substantial membership from locations throughout the mid-south area and surrounding states. The League depends on all its members as volunteers to serve on its Board of Directors and committees and to assist in the work of the organization.

Change Your Life with The Four Agreements

Jen Frank will lead a four-meeting series based on Don Miguel Ruiz’s book The Four Agreements. In a supportive, empowering group environment, Jen will help you apply the agreements to your life.

What do you want your life to look like? What do you want to be, do and have during this lifetime? Answer these questions and more in this workshop with Jen Frank. Using exercises and guided meditation, we’ll bring your vision into focus, and then we’ll craft a visual reminder of it. Together, we’ll identify the beginning actions you need to take to make your vision a reality. All supplies will be provided. No artistic ability is required!

wellness Wellness Staff Spotlight: Amy Stevenson, Group Fitness Instructor more capable, to finishing their first triathlon or setting a new PR. Being a fitness instructor has had a huge impact on my life. I am a better mom, wife, and person because fitness keeps me healthy, mentally and physically. The mind/body connection is a powerful element in a happier, healthier life. I have been teaching group fitness for almost 25 years. I have taught step, kickboxing, bootcamp, SPIN/cycle, and strength classes. What I enjoy most is seeing class participants reach new milestones they’ve set for themselves, anything from body fat loss and lean muscle gain, to increasing the weight load they use in muscle class because they realize they are getting stronger and

You have three options when working out: give in, give up, or give it everything you’ve got!

Teaching classes allows me to share my philosophy of “strong minds, strong bodies” with others. Hopefully, that message influences them as strongly and positively as it has me.

I enjoy seeing a full class and I hope the members know how much we, instructors, count on them to show up for class. My goal is to motivate all who attend my classes, but I hope the members, in return, know how much they motivate me!

I hope class participants walk away from my classes feeling stronger and looking forward to the next one. I want them to leave with a sense of accomplishment, a boost to their self esteem, and

an appreciation for their healthy mind and body. They should have a goal at the beginning of each workout and leave knowing they reached or exceeded that goal.

wellness Small Group Specialty Training

Through specific research-based curriculum, challengers will engage in new exercises each session that help them learn to enjoy fitness, test their limits, and “level up!” Each participant is allowed to test to level up once per month, and is invited to continue in classes for free after testing to the black band level. Also, new to this program, workouts on Sundays will allow parents to complete the workout with challengers, helping further the commitment to setting healthy lifelong fitness goals.

For businesses interested in placing ads in the recital program, please contact the Jenni Nettleton, Markell School of Dance Director, at jnettleton@jccmemphis.org.
