Chimera – weaving art, business and community By Iris Graville
Special to the Islands’ Weekly
No one disputes the intrepidness of the handful of Lopez Island artists who opened Chimera Gallery in 1987. “We all wanted to make art, not run a business,” says Pamela Maresten, one of the co-op’s founders.

Chimera’s business model – a worker-owned cooperative – eased their leap from art studios to ledger sheets. “Putting your work in a regular gallery cuts into your earnings horrendously,” Maresten explains. “We preferred to trade our time to get a little more for our art. This was a way to make it go.” The 25 candles on the anniversary cake at the Chimera Artists’ Cooperative annual meeting this year were proof that the approach has succeeded. For potter Nancy Bingham, selling her art was a necessity back in 1987. “I was trying to make a living through art and needed a place to show my work,” she says. “We were looking for venues and it seemed we

had enough good art and good artists to put together a gallery.” Although no longer active in Chimera, Bingham devoted herself to its first 10 years of operation. “I liked the grass roots way we started things,” she says. “We made all those decisions about how to run it, the hours and what to call it.” Bingham remembers much debate over “what to call it,” and the list of potential names that included Art Throbs Cooperative and Main Artery – A Cooperative. “Nobody could pronounce Chimera,” Bingham says; Maresten, who’s credited with the moniker, recalls it barely got majority approval. Patrons still stumble over
the word, even with the pronunciation guide on the cooperative’s business card (ki-meer-a) and definition (a thing of mixed character). But, it fit. “This is exactly how it started,” Bingham says. “All these different people who had different ideas and different ways of doing things.” Diana Bower, creator of the gallery’s logo, was among the founders and remains active today. Her linoleum block print – a fanciful griffin with the head of a lion, body of a goat, and long, curving tail – symbolizes the diversity of artists and personalities from the cooperative’s beginning through the present. Maresten and Bingham recall that in those early

An inside look at Chimera Gallery. days, gallery operations were, well, “of mixed character.” Members met often, and whoever showed up set the agenda and figured out who would facilitate and who would take minutes. There was no board of directors, and policies and procedures were fluid. Any artist who was willing to staff the gallery could join. Now an elected group of five oversees day-to-day operations and juries in new work, and a written contract delineates membership responsibilities and benefits.
Since the beginning, members have jotted notes in a journal during their shifts staffing the gallery, an 800-square-foot storefront just two doors from Holly B’s Bakery in Lopez Village. A leaf through the pages reveals this appraisal: “Soooo many people are here now, browse, browse, browse. If only we could live on compliments. It would be hard to make change though. Imagine trying to cash a standing ovation.” See chimera, page 6

Waldron is also thinking along a similar line and hopefully other islands will follow suit. Having a name is a good start, but real action and mobilization need to follow. This is where you come in. All are invited to start conversations, join, help shape and organize meetings and activities on Lopez. As we gear up for the scoping process, here are some of the upcoming events: August 28 at the library: Film “A Dirty Business, Clean Coal & the Battle for our Energy Future,” followed by a discussion led by Lopezian San Olson. September 9 at the Lopez Center, Friends of the San Juans is bringing leading scientists/experts to Lopez to share information about impacts of coal/tar sands oil shipping through our waters. September 23 at the Lopez Center: Film “A Sea Change, Imagine a World Without Fish,” followed by a discussion led by Russel Barsh.

Elephant Revival, self-described as a neo-acoustic transcendental folk quintet from Nederland Colo. and soothing songwriting of all five members. They also can get you up to dance!” The five musicians in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo, guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, bass and fiddle); Bridget Law (fiddle, octave fiddle); Bonnie Paine (washboard, djembe, musical saw, stompbox); Daniel Rodriguez (guitar, banjo, bass); and Dango Rose (double-bass, mandolin, banjo). All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers additional beats via footstomps on plywood, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands, encased in antique leather gloves, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal.
“I attribute their immense popularity to the fact that ‘folk based music’ is universal. Elephant Revival has a unique sound that has multi-generational appeal,” said DuMond. “Their particular blend of ‘transcendental folk’ is timeless ... and harkens back to that harmonious feel good music of the 60’s like CSNY with dashes of Celtic like the Incredible Stringband, Pentangle, etc. That coupled with the current neo- folk revival of bands like the Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver etc.... bridges gaps and unites us.” For more info, http:// elephantrevival.com.

Virginia Ross Moore
A memorial service for Virginia Ross Moore will be held at the Lopez Center Church on August 11 at 1 p.m. Virginia was born in San Jose, Calif., on March 3, 1918 to Charles Edward Ross and Ruth Mar y Dickson and was lovingly raised amidst a large extended family. After an adventurous youth, which included auditioning as a dancer for a Busby Berkeley film, she met and married Homer Henr y Moore in 1940. They settled in the San Diego suburbs and raised their three children; Michael, Kathleen (Roy Whalin) and Patricia (Alan DiBona). Virginia was involved in many community activities over the years including the Cub Scouts, Blue

Birds and PTA. She was a founding member of the El Cajon chapter of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, an organization of which she was immensely proud and with which she remained involved until her death last September at age 93. After retirement Homer and Virginia relocated to the Seattle area where Homer passed away in 1997. Virginia then moved to The Fountains at Pacific Regent in Bellevue where she spent many happy years as a member of that close-knit retirement community. In 2008 she joined her family on Lopez Island. Virginia passed away surrounded by her loving family on September 15, 2011. Virginia is survived by her three children; her grand-
children Patrick Moore, Dawn Howard (Thom), Maureen Luna-Long (Adam Sandman), David Whalin (Annie), Ren and Kai Di Bona; and great grandchildren Garrett Whalin, Chloe Howard, and Aidan and Tara Sandman-Long. Please join all who loved her as we celebrate her life on Saturday, August 11, 2012 at the Lopez Island Center Church.
Children Center’s Auction The Lopez Children Center is having a new improved auction on Saturday, Aug. 18 at Woodmen Hall. It was formerly known as the Apron auction and now it is called Experience Life. “We thought many of us have too much stuff in our lives so we are focusing on life experiences with donations from our generous neighbors on Lopez,” say organizers. “We have many talented people who live on Lopez and give to nonprofits to help them survive. We will have a fun fundraiser for our community to support the Lopez Children’s Center.”
All islanders are invited to attend and there is no admission fee. There will be a variety of different items such as fine art and crafts as well as new learning experiences – cooking class, steelhead fishing trip, Mariners tickets, Sounder tickets, golf lessons, cheese making class, art class, overnight stay in a nice hotel, create your own earrings, sailboat cruise and food. There will also be savory and sweet appetizers available. Come find out what new experiences might be calling you to bid or purchase at the auction to support Lopez Children’s Center.

When classical and jazz pianist and composer Michael Golden, shown right, starts tickling the ivories on the Steinway piano at Lopez Center on Saturday, Aug. 11, it will be because of the efforts of numerous people working behind the scenes for months. The concert itself will be an eclectic evening of piano music, including original works, jazz standards, classical, popular, folk tunes and improvisation. Director of the creative arts program at Soka University of America in California, Golden has been a regular visitor to Lopez Island since marrying into the Waller family over 20 years ago and “looks forward to sharing an evening of music at Lopez Center.” So why is Golden coming to Lopez Center? Because last fall Julie Van Camp asked Phyllis Nansen to help organize a classical piano concert, according to Nansen. “She said people had been asking why Lopez Center had not offered one for a while,” Nansen says. Long story short: A few months later, the Steinway Piano Steering Committee – Van Camp, Nansen and Richard and Meg Singer – had a vision and a plan. They would present three concerts featuring the Henderson Memorial Piano (willed to Lopez Center when Lucille

Henderson died) and call it the Steinway Piano Series. Each of them brought their individual expertise and contacts to the endeavor. Recognizing the importance of making classical music affordable for everyone, the committee wanted to offer the concerts “by donation only,” so sponsors were needed to defray costs. And, says Nansen, “the community responded with its usual generosity, making the first concert – Mark Salman in May – a huge success with the Lopez Center filled to capacity.” Why would islanders contribute financially to a series of piano concerts? “So anyone and everyone can afford to hear the fine musicians who want to play the exquisite instruments LCCA has been asked to steward,” say sponsors Jan and Bob Sundquist, “and so some of our local young people can have a rich experience as performers before enthusiastic fans of keyboard performance art.” “Because we strongly

support the Center,” adds John and Carol Whetten. “We think it’s a key reason why Lopez is such a great place to live, and we’ve been interested and somewhat involved with the Steinway piano since it was entrusted to the Center and our community.” “Because it’s important for Lopez Center to present a wide variety of events,” adds Nansen. ”Classical concerts are expensive to produce and we want to make them affordable for everyone. Lopezians are generous and support programs that are important to them.” The Sundquists, Whettens and Nansens are just some of the numerous Lopezians who have contributed to the piano series. There are at least 20 more. But there’s one more thing: The Steinway is a big part of this story. In 2007, Lucile Henderson, one of the founders of Camp Nor’Wester, gifted her personal Steinway grand piano, built in 1911, to the Lopez Community in her will. At Lopez Center, islanders and visiting artists alike have access to this fine instrument as well as to the Center’s other first-rate piano, a Chickering donated by the Rabel family. Caring for these pianos requires a maintenance fund, and Golden is offering his concert as a fundraiser. Another interesting connection with the Henderson Memorial Piano is through

Stephen Brady, the Steinway expert who rebuilt and maintains the piano. Brady’s wife, Judith Cohen, a Seattlebased international concert pianist and recording artist, gave the gala dedication concert as a donation to the fund in 2007. She also performed a duo-piano concert with her recording partner, using both pianos at Lopez Center’s 10th anniversary celebration. Golden’s upcoming concert, billed as a “tossed summer salad,” is the second in the series. In September, Jovino Santos Neto, threetime Grammy nominee and a top Brazilian jazz musician, returns to Lopez. Neto donated a concert to the piano fund when LCCA rebuilt the Steinway and will do so again. Again, the concert will by donation only. “Creating Lopez Center required remarkable vision, perseverance and energy by my father-in-law, Lynn Waller, and many other Lopezians,” says Golden, “and maintaining it calls for continuing effort. I wanted to make a musical offering to concretely express my gratitude and appreciation to the Lopez community and all the wonderful times I’ve enjoyed there over 20 years.” And that’s why Michael Golden is coming to Lopez.
