SOHA Gallery presents:

Root and Limb Art Around the Bonsai

2.50 Wells • $7 Economy Buckets 10 Domestic Buckets • $14 Premium Buckets ALL HOMEMADE FOOD! $

$

Opening Night March 18, running through March 27 SOHA is located at 4915 Macklind Ave. (S. of Chippewa at Neosho) Bonsai is the Japanese art form of growing ornamental, artificially dwarfed trees or shrubs in containers. The Japanese tradition of bonsai dates back over a thousand years, and has its own aesthetics and terminology. The purposes of bonsai are primarily contemplation (for the viewer) and the pleasant exercise of effort and ingenuity (for the grower).

Bonsai artist and expert, Chris Jersan, will display 12 prize Bonsai trees, some belonging to him and other trees from private collections. The 12 Bonsai will be paired with 24, hand selected 2-D and 3-D, local artists’ work and will be presented in a semi-traditional Bonsai presentation.

The Bonsai trees are not for sale but the artwork will be available for sale. Stop by and learn about the tradition, beauty and craft of the Bonsai.

STL featured artists are Theresa Hopkins, April Morrison, Jen Bradford, Tom Dykas, John Payne, David Wixom, Stephen Ingraham, Nita Turnage, Emily Gogel, Joe Dunne, Eugenia Alexander, Megan Reike, Julie Malone, Tim Kent-Moore, Joe Neaf, Jeff Kapfer, Gregory Booth, Nita Turnage, Hap Phillips, Carry Northrup, Adrian Aquilino, Jennifer Goley, and Saunders Schultz.

SOHA Studio + Gallery was opened on Macklind Avenue in the Southampton neighborhood by Julie Malone in May 2011. A family member of Malone’s and fellow artist, Liz Millikan, offered up studio space in a rundown building made of brick and cinder blocks which Malone transformed into the elegant space seen today.

Megan Rieke, Creative Director, and Kat Dunne, Gallery Director, assist Malone in running SOHA. The three are dedicated to presenting fresh art by upcoming artists, as well as known artists. SOHA exclusively features local artists. In 4 short years the gallery has gained much local recognition for its work being named “Best Place to Buy Local At” in ALIVE Magazine, 2013 and an “A-List Winner” Editor’s Choice in St. Louis Magazine, 2012.

Baseball Opening Day Fun Facts

You don’t have to be a diehard fan to appreciate the start of the baseball season.

For the winter-weary, Opening Day is a sign that spring has finally sprung. It’s also a day when baseball history is made—perhaps more often than you think. These Opening Day facts will get you in the mood to hear those immortal words for the first time this year: “Play ball!”

Snowball Fight: On Opening Day in 1907, the New York Giants faced off against the Phillies at New York City’s Polo Grounds after a heavy snowstorm. When the Giants fell behind, disgruntled fans began flinging snowballs onto the field, forcing the umpire to call a forfeit in the Phillies’ favor.

Presidential Pitches: On the first day of the 1910 season, William Howard Taft became the first president to throw the ceremonial first pitch. Since then, every president besides Jimmy Carter has thrown at least one ceremonial first ball for Opening Day, the All-Star Game or the World Series.

Rival Riot: Brooklyn’s Washington Park was the scene of an Opening Day riot on April 11, 1912. With the Brooklyn Dodgers down 18-3 to their rival, the New York Giants, fans stormed the field and delayed the game, which was eventually called on account of darkness in the sixth inning.

Lucky Feller: There has only been one no-hitter in Opening Day history. Cleveland pitcher Bob Feller, then just 21 years old, threw it against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park on April 16, 1940. Baseball's First All-Star Game Red-Handed: Boston Braves fans sat down to an unpleasant surprise on Opening Day in 1946. The outfield stands had recently received a fresh coat of red paint, but cold, damp weather had prevented it from drying. Hundreds of angry, paint-stained spectators marched to the Braves’ offices. The team agreed to pay their cleaning bills and made a public apology in a newspaper ad.

Making History: Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier on Opening Day in 1947, becoming the first African American to play for a Major League team. The 28-yearold made his debut at Ebbets Field, playing first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Switch Pitcher: Harry Truman was the only president to throw out left-handed and right-handed first pitches on Opening Day. He showcased his ambidextrous talents on April 18, 1950.

Out of the Park: Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves hit his 714th home run on Opening Day in 1974, tying Babe Ruth for most career homers. He beat Ruth’s record later that week and reached 755 by the end of this career. Aaron’s record was not eclipsed until Barry Bonds hit his 756th home run in 2007.

Opening Streak: On Opening Day in 1974, several naked fans rushed onto the field at Chicago’s Comiskey Park, disrupting the game and inciting violence in the stands.

Famous Firsts: Hall of Famer Frank Robinson and Ken Griffey Jr. share the record for most career home runs on the first day of the season, with eight Opening Day homers each.

Star Starter: Hall of Famer Tom Seaver has started the most Opening Day games in history—11 for the Mets, three for the Reds and two for the White Sox.
