Reflections on a New Year

otes from the Publisher

N

Pamela Hulse Andrews

Without reflection, we go blindly on our way, creating more unintended consequences and failing to achieve anything useful.

~ Margaret J. Wheatley (an American writer)

I

’ve never made a New Year’s resolution...if something needs changing, improving, accomplished...my approach is to jump right on it.This works well if you really know what the challenge is, but not so well if the new path isn’t clear.

Ready, fire, aim might get you into trouble unless you’re willing to accept the risk of opening the wrong door.

As you read this the confetti has fallen, the ball has dropped and the champagne has been popped—2015 is officially over and 2016 is underway.

Reflecting on how this magazine and the purveyors of art in our community fit into the new year is pretty simple... engaging art and culture in our daily lives enriches our life experiences. The beauty of this resolution is that there’s no risk, every door opened in the arts arena will be rewarding.

Investment in the arts and cultural resources are benefiting our economy by supporting job growth, stimulating commerce and sustaining neighborhoods by stabilizing property values.

The establishment of the voter approved Bend Cultural Tourism Fund conceptualized by Doug La Placa at Visit Bend is proving to be an enriching prospect and economic advantage for Bend. The intent is to help attract cultural tourists during the shoulder seasons and winter

3

months, when cultural tourism organizations are most active.

The first $125,000 of public funding to the arts helped launch the Bend Design Conference, enhance marketing for Bend Film, assemble the successful Edward Curtis exhibit at Atelier 6000 and this coming year will support the Bend A Cappella Festival at the Tower Theatre and World Muse with locally and internationally recognized artists, activists and social change leaders to celebrate International Women’s Day and kickoff Women’s History Month.

Creativity abounds in Central Oregon where communities benefit in multiple ways when there is a vibrant arts and culture base, which play an important role in improving the lives of ordinary people. People who engage in the arts are the ones who help communities thrive, says a 2006 study conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts.

If you’re like me and don’t make resolutions that can only be forgotten, broken and unreachable then think about putting a little more art into your life: visit at least one of our regional museums, attend a theatre performance and a concert, stay a little longer at a new gallery exhibit... partake of the enriching world of culture that is there to be enjoyed.

It’s easy to get caught up in the

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

whirlwind of day-to-day life with worldwide security distractions, political disparities and personal challenges. By exposing ourselves to culture, we remove ourselves from some of this insanity, our old routines and we get out of our comfort zones, altering our perspective.

By participating in culture and being exposed to different forms of art, you broaden the ways in which you can express yourself. It opens up your way of thinking so even if you’re not actively creating art, your ability to express yourself and communicate with others is enriched.

An enjoyable evening for the 100 people who attended the opening reception and awards ceremony to the 22nd Annual Tribal Member Art Exhibit.

Rick Steber Finalist for Best Book

USA Book News, one of the most prestigious book awards in the nation, announces that Rick Steber’s latest release, A Better Man is a finalist for the 2015 USA Best Book Award in the category of Health: Addiction & Recovery. Jeffrey Keen, president and CEO of USA Book News said this year’s contest involved over 2,000 entries and he stated it was a distinct honor for A Better Man to have been named a finalist in 12th annual book award for mainstream and independent publishers.

Popular award-winning author, Rick Steber, has more than 40 titles under his belt and sales of over a million books. Rick is the only Oregon author to have won the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award. He is a keen observer of the changing American West and he articulates these changes in prose that are boldly descriptive, invigorating and creative.

The Ford Family Foundation Residency Program

The Ford Family Foundation selected four additional internationally acclaimed artist residency programs to partner within 2016 and 2017. The programs join two other ongoing residency opportunities supported by the Foundation. The new programs will provide month-long opportunities for established Oregon visual artists to explore, conceptualize and develop future work.

The four new partners are The MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, New Hampshire; the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation’s program on Captiva Island, Florida; Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont and The Corporation of Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York. These programs join two programs already supported by the Foundation: Ucross Foundation in Clearmont, Wyoming and Djerassi in Woodside, California.

All are respected for the environments they have created for visual, performing and literary artists to incubate new ideas and advance creative practices.

The Foundation-supported residencies are in addition to applications these organizations already accept from Oregon artists, but they assure additional visual artists will have opportunities. Through these partnerships, the Foundation hopes to deliver new experiences for Oregon visual artists who have demonstrated excellence in their prior work and significant potential for future accomplishments. Artist selection is not conditioned on, but may result in, production of new bodies of work.

Plein Air Painters of Oregon

lein Air Painters of Oregon (PAPO) is a regional artists’ organization with its roots in Bend. Founded by a group of local outdoor painting enthusiasts in 2003, PAPO provides scheduled opportunities for artists to gather at various locations between April and October.

Often the sites are within an hour’s drive. Most weeks there are at least two events scheduled to choose from.

They have sponsored out-of-town paint outs in such locations as Yachats at the ocean, Steens Mountains to the southeast of the state and the Clarno Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds.

In the off-season, they encourage members to gather for “draw-ins” at local coffee houses and pubs.

Work can be seen on display at various galleries during the year sponsoring at least one guest artist workshop for members each year.

All types of painting media from watercolor to oils to pastels are used to capture the time and place or our beautiful landscape. It’s an adventure like no other says member Daniel O’Neil!

En plein air is a French expression

Arts

which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Plein air artists see and embrace the landscape unvarnished, describing for the viewer the beauty before them.

It is the ultimate battle of light and time. Plein air artists brave cold, heat, wind to capture a fleeting moment in time. Pristine lakes, snow-capped mountains, soaring cliffs, dashing rivers, twisted junipers, glowing rabbit brush—all are fair game for these talented artists.

They encourage and learn from each other, have only one formal meeting a year and provide a safe and enjoyable environment to paint outdoors with friends. That’s a lot for only $15.

The Members Show for January and February at the Sagebrushers Gallery will feature the work of many of the 75 PAPO members in a variety of media, much of it done outdoors, and some studio work for comparison as well.

Drop by the gallery Saturday, January 16 for the reception from 2-4pm to meet the artists and talk with them about their work.

Bend Cultural Tourism Fund Seeks Citizen Representatives & Sets Dates for Next Granting Process

An agenda is available on the same site.

The Bend Cultural Tourism Fund is a grant program dedicated to enhancing the local economy through the promotion and cultivation of Bend’s cultural tourism programs. The intent is to help attract cultural tourists during the shoulder seasons and winter months, when cultural tourism organizations are most active.

Library Reveals A Novel Idea 2016 Selection

D

eschutes Public Library announces Euphoria by Lily King as the 2016 A Novel Idea selection.

Euphoria tells the story of three young, gifted anthropologists in 1933. Set between World War I and II and inspired by events in the life of revolutionary anthropologist Margaret Mead, Euphoria is an enthralling story of passion, possession, exploration and sacrifice. The book is King’s fourth novel, the 2014 winner of the Kirkus Prize for Fiction and was included on the New York Times Best Books of 2014 list.

In its 13th year, A Novel Idea remains the largest community read project in Oregon with more than 6,000 residents participating. Thanks to the immense support of our partners, donors and sponsors, A Novel Idea events—including cultural programs, book club kits, books for check out and the author event—free and accessible for all people throughout Deschutes County. Deschutes Public Library would like to acknowledge the Deschutes Public Library Foundation, Bend Research, the E.H. and M.E.

A

new local history book reveals the intriguing characters and everyday citizens who have made Bend’s history legendary. Legendary Locals of Bend by Les Joslin shares the stories of unique individuals and groups, past and present, who have had a lasting impact on the community throughout its history.

A fascinating mix of local legends who could be characterized as “the right people, in the right place, at the right time,” arrived in Central Oregon during the past century and a half to make Bend the fascinating city it has become. Some of these people— explorer John Charles Fremont, publisher George Palmer Putnam, economist William A. Niskanen and “World’s Greatest Athlete” Ashton Eaton among them—gained national

of the Oregon Community Foundation, Deschutes Cultural Coalition, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Arts Commission, The Bend Bulletin and the Friends of the Library organizations for ongoing support of A Novel Idea.

A Novel Idea kicks off on Saturday, April 9, at the Downtown Bend Library.

More than 25 programs, classes, art shows, workshops and performances are planned for A Novel Idea 2016. The final event, a presentation by author Lily King, is scheduled for Sunday, May 1, at Bend High School at 4pm. This is a free event but tickets are required. The novel is available through the library in a variety of formats, including large print, e-Book and audiobook versions. The book is also available for sale at local bookstores.

Book clubs can request kits by calling 541-312-1032 or e-mailing lizg@ deschuteslibrary.org. www.deschuteslibrary.org

Legendary Locals of Bend prominence and even global stature.

Others were and are more ordinary people who have done and continue to do extraordinary things in an extraordinary place, a small but singular city of some 80,000 souls astride the Deschutes River at the eastern foot of the Cascade Range.

A portion of the profits earned will be contributed to the Deschutes County Historical Society. This book quickly answers many “who, what, when, where and how” questions of Bend’s history.

Joslin, 72, is a retired U.S. Navy commander; former U.S. Forest Service firefighter, wilderness ranger and staff officer and former college and university instructor who has resided in Bend, the subject of this new book, since 1988.

A graduate of San Jose State

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

College, Joslin has earned masters degrees at the University of Colorado and the University of London. At the request of the Deschutes County Historical Society, of which he is a member and past president, he prepared Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America: Bend published in 2009.

Joslin specializes in U.S. Forest Service history, and has authored or edited seven books on aspects of that agency’s story. He has edited the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association’s quarterly OldSmokeys Newsletter since 2006, and he published his autobiography Life & Duty in 2014.

He hopes that this work, written at the request of the Deschutes County Historical Society, will increase interest in and understanding of Bend’s history and stimulate the

writing of Legendary Locals titles on other Deschutes County and Central Oregon cities and towns.

Atelier 6000’s Big Move

New studio in the Old Mill Market Place

Book Press at Atelier 6000

by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer

A

telier 6000 (A6) opens its doors in its new location in the Old Mill Marketplace on Friday, January 8 with a grand opening celebration and an exhibit of richly textured prints and mixed media work by California artist Bob Nugent.

A6 is a nonprofit studio and gallery in Bend. A6 provides creative and educational experiences in printmaking and book arts by offering on-going classes and art appreciation programs. A6 presents monthly exhibits of original prints and artist books in its gallery and participates in Bend’s First Friday Gallery Walk.

A6 opened in 2007 on Scalehouse Court on the edge of the Old Mill District. Executive Director Dawn Boone lovingly called A6 Bend’s best kept secret. “Now we have a location that is more at the forefront of the Bend art scene. With this new visibility, we hope to continue being a great cultural entity in the community,” says Boone. A6’s new space in Old Mill Marketplace is similar in size and maintains a familiar layout, with a gallery in the front and

11

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

a professional print and book arts studio in the back.

As far as future goals, Boone shares that there are plans to reach out to more artists and students. “We plan to build on programs that connect the art in our exhibits with hands-on arts learning in the studio,” explains Boone. Teachers will be able to give student tours of exhibits, and students will be able to participate in hands-on activities directly related to the artwork. “Students, artists and everyday visitors deepen their appreciation and understanding of art when they can see, listen and do,” says Boone. A6 now has the ability to become a great resource for students, artists and the community, even more than it already has.

A6 is open Monday-Friday from 10am-7pm Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 12-5pm 550 SW Industrial Way, Suite 180 www.atelier6000.org 541-330-8759

T

he Tower Theatre Foundation presents the exclusive Northwest Film Premiere of Coaches’ Wives, Saturday, January 9 at 7pm. This is a full-length documentary about the women who share their husband with a particular sport, and the life that sport dictates for them.

“We hope to reach all levels of the athletic community, but it goes beyond that,” says Producer and Director Jonathan Moore. “I think this includes not just coaches, but pastors, doctors, lawyers and anyone who is married to someone who is extremely passionate about their job.”

The son of a coach and a coach’s wife, Jonathan Moore and his wife Karen Moore traveled around the country and spent time with several coaches’ wives at all levels of different sports, including Neezer McNab - wife of Joe McNab, Notre Dame High School (CA) Football; Kathy Auriemma - wife of Geno Auriemma, UConn Women’s Basketball and Jeanie Buss - fiancée of Phil Jackson, NY Knicks/LA Lakers.

Hear first-hand from the unsung heroes of the athletic world who balance love, children and domestic responsibilities while married to a man who has committed his life to coaching. “The most enjoyable part of making a film is the process, the journey,” says Jonathan. “But for me, the best part, especially as it relates to this documentary, is the relationships you develop along the way; they go far beyond the production process itself.”

Patrons are invited to hear more about the production and the process from Jonathan and Karen Moore at the post-screening Q&A. The premiere will be hosted by KBND radio sports anchor, Jay “Byrd” Reese. This screening is part of the Tower Theatre Foundation’s Movie Series sponsored by Crater Lake Spirits in collaboration with BendFilm, with projection system from Stereo Planet.

Step to This at Cascades Theatre

T

he first show of the new year at Cascades Theatre is The 39 Steps.

Originally a novel by John Buchan, then a 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film and now a play adapted by Patrick Barlow, it is a riotous romp through England and Scotland. The hero of the play, Richard Hannay, played by Brian Johnson, encounters a myriad of beautiful, mysterious and downright villainous characters as he tries to uncover the secret of the 39 steps.

Three actors, Annie Touppani, Brad Rode and Adrian Mikkelson, play upwards of 150 different characters in the unfolding adventures of a lonely man enlisted to solve the puzzle left by a dead woman whom he is accused of murdering in his own apartment.

The 39 Steps is a fun and inventive adaptation of this relatively unknown novel which is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat, anticipating the next turn of events as Hannay endeavors to crack the case.

The 39 Steps is directed by Diane Turnbull and runs from January 22 through February 6 at Cascades Theatre. Evening performances begin at 7:30pm. This includes two Thursday shows. The two Sunday matinees, January 24 and 31, begin at 2pm.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $16 for seniors (60+) and $13 for students.

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche Delicious Kick Off to 2nd Street Theater 2016 Season

tage Right Productions and Lonely Fish Productions are pleased to present the hilariously campy 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, written by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood, directed by Scott Schultz.

It’s 1956 and we (the audience) are attending the annual quiche breakfast given by the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein, where the motto is “no men, no meat, all manners.”

The breakfast turns upside down as a catastrophic nuclear event takes place outside, and the society widows (aka the audience) find themselves trapped indoors while the five society officers figure out a means to save the future of humankind.

Along the way, deep dark secrets will be revealed, society members will be mocked and a prize-winning quiche will be consumed…and rather suggestively. Filled with innuendos, political satire and lots of improv, you will never look at an egg or a turkey baster the same way.

Featuring Stephanie Slade, Nancy Scher, Melinda Jahn, Shannyn Christensen and Catherine Hahn.

Performances will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30pm with two Sunday matinees on January 17 and 24 at 3pm. The show runs January 15 through 24 and there will be an Opening Night Champagne reception on Friday January 15 from 6:30-7:30pm. www.2ndstreettheater.com, 541-312-9626

New Perspective for the Year 2016

ARIES Follow your heart in January as you move through a challenging situation. Your positive attitude will make a big difference and by February you will receive the rewards. Steps taken in March will move you forward more than you might have planned. Trust enough to say “Yes” to invitations in March and remind yourself to ask for what you need. An extra boost of positive energy on April will carry you for quite a while. Create a plan in May so that you can be the most effective. Find time to play in June but still remember to be responsible. July brings recognition mixed with a need to be grateful. Be willing to back up in August and help those who have been helping you in the past. Relationships get your attention in September and it will be important to still think about your needs first. Hold steady in October while those around you seem more emotional. Remind yourself to make good choices that support your happiness and by November you will see the benefits of your decisions. Applying a strong focus in December will elevate your life to a new level. Be willing to do the work and then celebrate your rewards.

TAURUS January starts with some backtracking in order to create more organization in your life. Let go of what you are done with in February in order to lighten your load. Balance your desire to be busy in March with much needed quiet time. It’s important to rest in between activities so that you can enjoy yourself more. Ask for what you want in April and be excited about what happens next. May is a time to enjoy what you love and appreciate the opportunity to do so. June brings change and it may feel like it’s just in time. Appreciate your home and those who visit you there in July. Cooperation in August could surprise you as well as touch your heart. Relationships get your attention in September as they invite you to step forward into something new.

More pleasure in October is exactly what you need so remember to appreciate it. You could be amazed with how easily change happens in November and it’s important to keep moving forward. December is filled with cooperation and your heart will be touched by what occurs. Keep your mind and heart open and remember anything is possible.

GEMINI Big decisions in January change everything and manifestation occurs immediately By February you will be aware of how much better everything is. Your resilient attitude will be helpful in March when it becomes important not to react to others. April brings new beginnings and you will be glad you have been minding your own business. Spend time behind the scenes in May and be sure you are getting what you need. A big reveal in June will be well received and supported. July brings recognition for a job well done, let yourself really feel it. A challenging August needs to be taken in stride as you remember how good your life really is. September brings more rewards and you will again be grateful that you have stayed focused on your own world.

Lots of cooperation in October moves you forward considerably. Many parts of your life reach a peak in November and it will be important to keep pushing through. A little structure in December will be helpful but remember to leave room for spontaneity. Look back as the year comes to a close and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

January 1 Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin First Friday, January 1, 5–8pm shows paintings by Jason Graham, the Hiphop performance artist MOsley WOtta (MOWO). Thru January.

MOsley WOtta formed as a peace March band of six seeking to encourage change in response to the bloody prison riots, the Darwinian Riots’ of ‘78. Maturing yet pursuing the original mission of change, MOsley WOtta toured relentlessly as Hip-hop performance artists throughout the Northwest and California.

Today MOWO, with guitarist and electronic music producer Collothen, works with/ for several humanitarian organizations including Rise Up International, Cada Casa, Americana Project and Caldera Arts.

All of the galleries/businesses listed in this section will be open for First Friday Art Walk, from 5-8pm.

(Red Chair is 5-9pm) See the CascadeAE App for map of galleries

CASCADE

As a performance artist, MOWO/Graham reminds his audience that humans are Mostly Water (MOsley WOtta) and a small collection of minerals floating in empty space. He notes that the water comprising all humans should serve as a reflecting pool for viewing ourselves and others, perceiving/understanding our unifying, human commonalities.

As a visual artist, MOWO paints acrylic, seemingly electrified, wailing skeleton beings and prismacolor teddy dogs (an oddly endearing cross between teddy bear and rabid dog with bared teeth) on canvas. Scrawled messages on the bold, brilliantly hued artwork unmistakably and skillfully continue to convey his desire for change in response to contemporary issues such as drugs (legal/illegal), guns and violence, wealth, war and other significant societal problems.

PBS Oregon Art Beat, TEDxBend, The World Muse Conference, Maraya Art Gallery, Sigjaw Syndication, yada, yada, yada and Braggart Intl. showcased both his visual and performance art. Recently MOWO traveled abroad as an Art Ambassador with the U.S. Embassy and R.U. International.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Celebrating the New Year with Philip Gordon Newman’s figurative clay sculpture continuing thru January. The artist will be present at the champagne opening on First Friday, January 1 from 5 –7:30pm.

Newman began drawing and painting at the age of five with the images of three circus clowns. Each clown wore a differently style hat, coordinated with its costume. He sensed, at that early age, the beginning of his career in art.

As an adult, he continues figurative work of an entirely different sensibility. The artist’s figurative clay sculpture incorporates seemingly ancient facial imagery. He credits his attraction to archaic artifacts, expressed in his sculpture by the over-sized facial scale, stylized hair, crowns and facial adornments, in his detail. Also, his anthropomorphic Sun and Moon of the exhibition reflect earlier beliefs and rituals.

His admiration of contemporary art also reflects in his artwork such as the elongation of facial proportion as seen in Modigliani’s art. Similarly, his sometimes flattened, faces reflect the influence of Picasso whose art he admires with that of Modigliani. Newman joins these artists in their fascination with the face and figure and all employ combinations of varied cultures design elements and geometric shapes in their art, giving tribute to the past. Newman, however, notes that his work with the figure also encourages his reflection on the mysteries of the human psyche and its evolution.

The lobby exhibition is open during all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule. Contact Turner at billyeturner@bendnet.com.

January’s exhibit features two local artists: Sue GomenHonnell has had two driving passions in her life: music and art. Her paintings sparkle with her love of nature. She has been drawing, coloring or painting for as long as she can remember. She feels that watercolor is the media that fits her bright, colorful and luminous style best. She likes to keep her background loose, putting more detail in her primary subject. You will experience a journey in light, mood and color when you see her paintings.

Two generations of potters will be displaying their work New Year’s Day First Friday. Michael and Michele Gwinup founded the Blue Spruce Pottery in Bend in 1976. In 2008, their daughter and son-in-law: Melissa and Patrick Woodman, joined them in their pottery business. The four of them work from the Gwinup’s home studio, creating beautiful stoneware and Raku fired pottery. Their mugs, bowls and other functional items are often glazed with their signature “Cascade mountains” pattern.

Melissa and Patrick are now making the majority of the stoneware pottery and have been working on several new items that will be exhibited in January.

“We get a joy from knowing that we can take clay, this piece of the Earth, and through our energy and the heat of the firing, transform it into an object that will last for years,” Michael says. “It’s gratifying to know that over the years we’ve created pieces, even something as simple as a mug or a bowl, that have become a part of another’s daily life.”

Tall Order for Blanket Donations from The High Desert Museum

by KRYSTAL MARIE COLLINS, Cascade A&E Feature Writer

T

he High Desert Museum (HDM) is curating an exhibit based on the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a U.S. government program which employed millions of unemployed people, including artists, musicians and writers, during the Great Depression. Some of the artists who were commissioned included future luminaries Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko. As part of this exhibit, HDM is requesting that community members donate blankets for a commissioned installation.

“Commissioning pieces is a rare privilege for us and we’re very excited to be partnering with such talented, diverse artists,” said Dr. Dana Whitelaw, executive director of the Museum.

Portland based Marie Watt is one such artist.

Watt is an American artist. Born in 1967 to the son of Wyoming ranchers and a daughter of the Turtle Clan of the Seneca Nation (Haudenosaunee), she identifies as “half cowboy and half Indian.”

She explores and reveals the historical and contemporary intersections of indigenous and Western/European cultures by creating and creates soaring blanket towers that carry the poignant stories of the blankets’ previous owners.

25

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

The piece Watt plans to build in conjunction with the exhibit is a tower of blankets and requires 300 separate blankets. To acquire these, the HDM is putting out a call for blankets. Watt requests that the blanket have a story and that the story be attached via note card and pin to donation. If your blanket is a keep sake, Watt accepts stand-in blankets in lieu of the original.

Ultimately, Watt hopes to tell the story of Central Oregon through the tower.

Currently, donations can be dropped at the HDM, Deschutes Historical Museum, Crook and Jefferson County Libraries until midJanuary. Though Sandy Cummings, director of communications, knows the community will support the call for blankets, she says, “It is going to be a tall order to get that many blankets that quickly, no pun intended.” The installation will be complete in March.

Blankets may be dropped off at the Museum’s admissions desk through January 31. Donors are asked to write the blanket’s story on a provided tag. In exchange for the blanket, donors will receive a special print by Marie Watt. The artist also will lead a public sewing circle at the Museum

on January 16. Materials will be provided and no previous experience is necessary.

Through partnerships with other organizations in Central Oregon including the Central Oregon Symphony, Tower Theatre and Deschutes Public Library, there will be complementary events and programs in connection to the exhibition, including a film screening, live music, fashion show, lectures and more.

The Museum has been awarded funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust, Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Community Foundation, The Roundhouse Foundation and Bend Cultural Tourism Fund for this exhibit, which will run through September.

Two Generations of Potters at Red Chair

T

wo generations of potters will be displaying their work at Red Chair Gallery for New Year’s Day First Friday. Michael and Michele Gwinup founded Blue Spruce Pottery in Bend in 1976. In 2008, their daughter and son-in-law, Melissa and Patrick Woodman, joined them in their pottery business. Melissa grew up in the pottery studio, helping her parents first with the glazing and when she was older, working in clay.

She attended her first art fair when she was three months old. Patrick also grew up in Bend and has a lifelong interest in art, working in many different mediums. He began to focus on pottery after meeting Melissa and working with her in the pottery studio. Melissa and Patrick are now making the majority of the stoneware pottery and have been working on several new items that will be exhibited in January.

“It’s been good to have the kids join us in the studio,” Michele says.“They bring in energy and new ideas, such as their knitting bowl, trays and coasters.”

The four potters work from the Gwinup’s home studio. Their pottery is made

by hand using either a potter’s wheel or a slab roller. Once the pottery is dried it is fired to a low temperature, called a bisque firing. It is then ready to be glazed and fired to a temperature of 2,400 degrees. This turns the clay into a very durable material called stoneware. All of the stoneware glazes are safe and completely non-toxic. The pottery is very functional and may be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.

The natural area around Central Oregon inspires much of the potters glazing.

Their mugs, bowls and other functional items are often glazed with their signature “Cascade mountains” pattern.

Michael says, “It’s gratifying to know that over the years we’ve created pieces, even something as simple as a mug or a bowl, that have become a part of another’s daily life. Blue Spruce Pottery has been in Bend almost 40 years; it is nice to know that when we decide to retire, Melissa and Patrick will be here to carry on the pottery tradition.”

Bend Artist Uses Local Landscape to Create Healing Artworks

end artist Natasha Bacca was commissioned by the Utah Public Art Program to create artwork for The University of Utah’s Noorda School of Oral Health.

The series, titled Inspired by Nature, is comprised of 13 40-inch by 60-inch panels. At 2,570 square feet, these artworks span all three floors of the new building which houses a school for dentistry.

Bacca states, “When creating this series I took into account the experiences of the faculty, staff, students, patients and visitors to the school by incorporating the beautiful setting with a community that values education.”

The artworks derive inspiration from the natural landscape elements of Bend, much like those of Utah, including mountains, aspen trees and open sky. The artworks illustrate a variety of aspen trees throughout different settings and seasons. Mountains are included in some artworks, and all artworks are mounted with acrylic glass to represent the open sky.

Consistent with the building’s focus on improving individual health, Bacca infused the artworks with the concept of a healing essence. Nature is a subject analogous to health and human life.

Inspired by Nature employs the notion of exceptional nature as a mirror of exceptional human nature, utilizing nature as a catalyst to explore concepts of life and health.

Inspired by Nature draws on scenes of nature to invoke sensations of wellness, peace and calm. Trees are peaceful symbols of life that illustrate growth as well as the passage of time. They take on the appearance of decay in the winter, only to sprout anew with the return of spring. In this way, these artworks are inspirational symbols of health and healing.

Natasha Bacca’s artwork has been exhibited internationally and is featured in private, public and corporate collections.

Collectors include NASA, Hilton Hotels, Kaiser Permanente hospitals, UC Davis Medical Center, Mesa Verde National Park, Northern Arizona University, Central Oregon Community College, Deschutes Brewery and many more. It has been featured on billboards across the United States and television shows, including CBS’s Two Broke Girls, ABC’s Last Man Standing and Scandal and Oregon Art Beat. In 2011, Natasha Bacca was granted a U.S. patent for the process by which she creates her art. www.NatashaBacca.com

Oil & Acrylic Paintings at Sunriver Resort Lodge

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery welcomes 2016 with acrylic fantasy images by Susan Busik in the upper gallery and oil landscapes

by Janice Druian in the lower gallery continuing through January 30.

Busik grew up in Sisters and resides in Bend. Her early art included weaving and teaching herself to paint using acrylics and creating large abstracts. The acrylic paintings currently on view at the Betty Gray Gallery reflect learning of her Hispanic heritage in her ‘40s and beginning to paint the traditional, intricate designs and patters of Mexico. These appear in her over-scale, brightly colored dahlias, poppies, birds, Madonnas and other subjects.

Traditional in Hispanic art is “magical reality” or portrayal of the unseen, a sense of the transcendent and the spiritual in nature. Her current work includes many such references including hummingbird and butterfly images, sacred in the Native American tradition, and spirals or dots of brilliant color which symbolize spirit’s presence in our material world. All inspired by her lineage, Busik’s art thus pays a special homage to her heritage, to “my Grandmother’s art.”

Druian’s inspiration partially arises from artist Maynard Dixon who said, “My work…is not the regulation ‘Wild West’ type of painting. I aim rather to interpret the... sense of freedom this country inspires.” The artist’s admiration of Dixon’s art reflects her heritage as her family came west on the Oregon Trail. This enduring connection inspires her dramatic oil landscapes which capture the beauty and grandeur of Oregon’s high desert solitude.

Her small canvases focuses on the light found in many of the remote parts of Oregon where viewers witness the sometimes opalescent mountains, vermillion cliffs and dramatic sunsets encompassing the color spectrum. Her art appeared at the Ninth Annual Plein Air Invitational in Borrego Springs, the Yosemite Renaissance XV at the Museum at Yosemite National Park, and at the ’14 & ’15 invitational Cowgirl Up: the Other Half of the West at the Desert

Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Village Opens New Year with Lipson & Badger Artworks

T

here are two exceptional artists featured this month in the Artists’ Gallery Sunriver in the Village. You’re invited to meet them as well as many other local artists on January 9. 4-6pm for Second Saturday celebration with food, wine and fun!

New gallery artist, Ross Lipson, photographs the great outdoors to perfection. His featured piece this month is Good Morning Glory, taken at Sparks Lake on a beautiful snowy early morning complete with Alpen glow colors. He says, “The scene was out of a fairy tale, it was a dream. The mountains, the lake, the trees, the colors…..everything came together perfectly for this show. I was overwhelmed with appreciation for the beauty in front of me. I stared deep into the mountains, as if they can hear and feel me and all I could say in thanks was Good Morning Glory!!”

Marily Badger has a true gift with her creativity with glass.

In the gallery you will find brilliant dichroic glass jewelry as well as etched glass vessels and now, her series of beautiful art lamps. It is always wonderful when a fine piece of art has a practical purpose as well.

For Badger’s featured leaf lamp, she begins with a series of special molds where she inserts ground glass. The ground glass is called ‘frit’ and is carefully sifted over the finished lines in layers. Once the leaf is fired in her kiln, she sets it aside while the glass panels are cut and cleaned. The fused leaf is put into place and then surrounded by larger ‘frit’ for the front panel. This is then carefully fired together in the kiln to fuse….then another firing in the kiln slumps the pieces to make the perfect curve. There are five days of individual firings to create a single lamp. Definitely crafted with a love of the art.

2016 SISTERS FOLK FESTIVAL PASSES NOW ON SALE - WHILE THEY LAST!

Welcome to The Sisters Country

S

isters Folk Festival (SFF) announces the 2016 Winter Concert Series. This year’s series will include three outstanding shows, demonstrating the wide range of American roots music.

On Thursday, January 28,The Wood Brothers will perform their brand of masterful and soulful folk, with hints of blues, American and acoustic soul.

Steeped in a songwriting tradition, they are celebrating their fifth studio album, Paradise, and have quickly become one of the best live acts touring the country.

The Wood Brothers released their debut studio album, Ways Not To Lose, on Blue Note Records in 2006. Chris Wood already had legions of devoted fans for his incomparable work as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood, while his brother Oliver toured with Tinsley Ellis before releasing a half-dozen albums with his band King Johnson.

Almost a decade later and with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix added as a permanent third member, it’s become quite clear that The Wood Brothers is indeed the main act.

On Saturday, February 27, the second show in the series will feature Bumper Jacksons, from Washington, D.C. Folding sounds of jazz, early

Sisters Folk Festival Winter Concert Series Lineup blues, old-time music and country swing into an exhilarating repertoire of modern American roots music, the D.C.-based band has brought a harddriving party energy to countless dance floors. With three recent Washington Area Music Awards and many dozens of jubilant live shows under their collective belt, they’ve produced their second album, Too Big World, a sweetly balanced collection of hot swing numbers, heartbreak ballads and late-night moonshine foot-stompers.

Front-woman and Florida native Jess Eliot Myhre (clarinet, vocals, washboard) honed her musical chops in jam sessions in the streets and clubs of New Orleans, immersed in the music that fuels the city’s humid, carnivalesque all-night parties. In 2012, she met Maryland-born fellow song-crafter Chris Ousley (guitar, vocals) and the two joined forces to form the Bumper Jacksons’ core.

Concluding the series is Massachusetts-based quartet Darlingside on Thursday, March 10. The members of Darlingside (Sam Kapala, Don Mitchell, Auyon Mukharji, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft) met at Williams College in western Massachusetts. “Auyon and I were paired as freshman-year roommates,” Dave recalls. “We fought

often, but we spent so much time together that we very quickly became like brothers.” They joined a singing group with Don, and Harris joined the same group two years later. From there, they bonded over a shared interest in songwriting, despite a diversity of musical backgrounds and performance styles including chamber music, choral singing, Celtic session-playing and street-busking.

After six years of playing together and a decade-plus of knowing each other, the band’s collaborative process has evolved side by side with their friendships.

“The band has been described many ways; but what stands out is that their music feels urgent, fresh and new — yet has a comfortable

familiarity that leaves you wanting more. It’s an intangible musical collaboration that is unique, and has intelligence and integrity … our audience has embraced them wholly, like many audiences ‘discovering’ them across the country,” says SFF’s creative director, Brad Tisdel.

f you haven’t heard of PLAYA, the residency program for visual, performing and literary artists and scientists located in Summer Lake, Oregon, then you are missing out on the leaps and bounds that they are making in the creative thinking community.

During this past year, PLAYA has received grants and recognition for programming from the Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Cultural Trust, Ford Family Foundation (Golden Spot Award), Oregon Community Foundation, Lake County Cultural Coalition and most recently received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

PLAYA has partnered with numerous organizations such as Oregon Humanities for the Barry Lopez Fellowship, Ashland Creek Press for the Siskiyu Prize for New Environmental Writing, High Country News for Diversity in Environmental journalism, Writing Ranch for the Waterston Prize for High Desert Writing, the Society for Photographic Education with their ImageMaker Award, and the Poetry Society of America’s

33

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

Chapbook Fellowships, just to name a few.

So what makes PLAYA such a special place for artists and scientists to gather? PLAYA offers seclusion and quiet in a natural environment, and the opportunity for interaction, if desired, with a cohort of residents and the local rural community.

A residency provides the time and space to create substantive work or to research and reflect upon one’s creative or scientific processes. Away from the urgencies of daily life, residents can focus on their projects, immerse in a desert landscape of basin and rangeland and find inspiration through self-directed inquiry.

“We are truly excited about the achievements we’ve made,” says Executive Director Deborah Ford. “Our goal is to reach out to creative thinkers with similar sensibilities in order to cultivate a collaborative environment.” As the program becomes more nationally, and internationally known, PLAYA has more opportunities to become active members of the Central Oregon art scene.

“We are able to give back to the community, while

also giving residents a chance to learn and grow in this environment,” says Ford.

PLAYA began in 2011, and by 2013 the program took a break in order to reestablish their goals and expand. Now, residents from all over Oregon and the world are flocking to Summer Lake to be a part of residencies that can last anywhere from two to eight weeks at a time.

“We want to give our residents the chance to grow, as well as be a part of the wonderful Central Oregon art community,” says Ford. “We have travelling exhibits and events that will create a collaboration between our artists and the community at large.”

PLAYA offers monthly open studios, dance performances, up coming singer song writers and poetry readings to the public. In January, PLAYA will be exhibiting work from past residents at the Hallie Brown Ford Gallery in Roseburg, Oregon, Atelier 6000 in Bend in April and the World Forestry Center in Portland in July. www.playasummerlake.org

Explorations! Sharon Carvalho and Julia Jeans met a couple of years ago in a class at the Stitchin’ Post. During conversations, they discovered they both wanted to explore and experiment with surface design techniques and in late 2013 began getting together regularly— play dates they called them—to see which techniques fit their individual aesthetic. They would frequently alternate locations—Sisters or Bend— during which time they explored techniques such as fabric dyeing, screen printing, stamp carving, printmaking, digital design, marbling, thermofax, soy wax resist and photography. During the get-togethers, they exchanged ideas, products, fabric and know-how. Many of the quilts in the show these two are calling Explorations! are a direct result of those get-togethers and experiences.

Dining

E

at out enough and even the finest meals can start to seem like variations of the same song. That’s when you take yourself to Joolz for a symphony of tastes as bright as they are unexpected.

My friends and I started with a round of first-rate beverages—both alcoholic and not—and the sea scallop special appetizer. Two large, tender and perfectly-seared scallops served with a muhammara sauce that included crushed hazelnuts, garlic, roasted pepper and pomegranate molasses sat atop Joolz’s Wicked Garlic Sauce made from boiled potatoes, raw garlic, canola oil and lemon juice.

“Superb,” my friend Jill said. “I like to have scallops for my birthday.

These are birthday worthy.” Ditto for both sauces.

I was already trying to figure out how I could convince Joolz co-owner (with wife Juli) and chef Ramsey Hamdan to turn the scallops into an entrée for me on my next visit when I tasted the luscious, wild Cyprus prawns. Served in a sauce made from arak (a Lebanese licoriceflavored alcoholic drink), lemon and zataar (a spice mix that includes sumac) and topped with crumbled feta, they were sublime. Time to talk Ramsey—a chef who has clearly perfected the cooking of seafood— into a combo plate.

We finished the appetizer round with another hit and a small miss. I wanted more punch in the cauliflower as well as the accompanying tahini sauce which was a little thin for my taste. But the tangy, creamy hummus

35

topped with pine nuts and elk seared in olive oil, lemon and sumac was beautifully balanced and utterly delicious.

In the interest of research and because too many of the choices sounded too good, we selected five entrees for four of us, with resounding results. On the fish front, I loved the cobia—a firm-fleshed white fish— served in the same muhammara sauce as the scallops. The fresh sumaccrusted British Columbia salmon served over a chopped salad that included tomato, cucumber, red bell pepper, mint, feta and a pomegranate vinaigrette was deemed one of the best salmon preparations on record.

And the Pacific Seafood Tagine, with clams, white prawns, fresh fish and potato simmered in a chermoula citrus tomato broth was downright addictive. I couldn’t decide whether to eat more mouth-watering shellfish or drink the broth infused with fresh ginger, garlic cumin, coriander and cilantro.

Onto the meats. “Amazing,” said one of my friends about the elk kafta burger served with roasted poblano chili and topped with chutney and Rogue smoked blue cheese. I liked it even better when I ate the leftovers the next day without the bun, which allowed the meat to shine on its own.

And the lamb kabob served with tzatziki sauce was about as tender and tasty as you can get.

We capped off the evening with a shared slice of date cake that’s the definition of sweet and moist.

Three words sum up our evening.

Bravo, Maestro! Encore!

Central Oregon Symphony Features

Andreas Lang

F

rench horn musician Andreas Lang was born and educated in Wangen, Allgaü, an historic (as in 815) small city on the southern tip of Germany. His music training began at age six in a community music school (music and sports are not offered in public schools in Germany). At age nine he took up the French horn and has never regretted the choice. His passion for the horn is obvious today as he describes its sound as able to emulate all the human emotions, from the romantic to the dangerous, from the sad to soulful.

Andreas continued with the French horn in orchestras and chamber groups through his graduation from the University of Konstanz in Germany. In 1989, a Fulbright scholarship brought Andreas to Oregon State University where he joined the OSUCorvallis Symphony Orchestra while completing his doctorate in the department of statistics.

As if describing an athletic team, Andreas refers to the orchestra as “the ultimate team exercise.” But unlike professional athletes, “These musicians are volunteers playing together with a shared passion for music. Each team member equally important, each committed to doing their part, and bringing their best to the community. Like any team sport, it is demanding, but in a way that engages.”

T

he next concert in the 2015-16 High Desert Chamber Music (HDMC) season presented by Shevlin Dental Center will feature internationally renowned violist Heiichiro Ohyama and the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra Chamber Players in our annual Valentine’s Day concert. This evening is brought to you by German Master Tech and will take place on Sunday, February 14, 8pm at the Tower Theatre.

While in Bend, Mr. Ohyama will be presenting a Master Class for violists and violinists. This event will be held at the First United Methodist Church on Saturday, February 13 at 2pm and is free and open to the public.

“One of my goals has been to present educational events in a public forum for the community. Master Classes are beneficial and exciting for all those involved – the student musician receives valuable insight and personalized instruction that they can apply to their studies, and the audience can learn and experience how the master’s advice improved or affected the student’s performance. I met Heiichiro Ohyama in my teens, and he had a direct and lasting impact on my development as a young musician. I am looking forward to providing some of our young students with the opportunity to learn from such a master of his craft,” states Executive Director Isabelle Senger.

The depth and history of Mr. Ohyama’s influence and experience in the music world is expansive. His training includes studies on violin and viola with such luminaries as William Primrose, Josef Gingold and Ruggiero Ricci.

He is extremely well versed in string pedagogy, and has had a hand in training countless numbers of young students who have moved on to successful professional careers.

Due to the exclusive nature of Mr. Ohyama’s visit to the United States and in order to benefit our local students, only those residing in Central Oregon will be eligible to perform in the class. There will be no cost to participate as a performer, or attend as a listener. In addition, all students who apply will receive complimentary admission to attend the performance on Sunday evening.

Students interested in performing should contact HDCM for deadlines and further information and the intent to apply is requested as soon as possible.

High Desert Chamber Music’s mission is to bring world class chamber music and musicians to Central Oregon. Now in its eighth season, HDCM has presented a broad range of chamber groups, ranging from string trios to piano quintets. Tickets for all events are available through HDCM online, by phone or in person at our office in Downtown.

HDCM 2015-2016 title sponsors include Shevlin Dental Center, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, Lumbermens Insurance, Pine Tavern Restaurant, German Master Tech, Oregon Cultural Trust, KQAK radio and KBNW Radio. Additional support provided by Hertz Car Sales of Bend, Tower Theatre Foundation, BendBroadband and Creative Images of Life.

The Belfry Livens Up Winter

he Belfry is a converted church built in 1914. They host many events from science club lectures to fundraisers, weddings to proms and, of course lots of fabulous music from many different genres.

DENNIS MCGREGOR AND THE SPOILERS January 22, 8–11pm The Spoilers play Dennis McGregor’s songs, which are often wryly twisted, making them pretty much impossible to call normal. That’s what people like most about them. They are plenty musical though, and at times rather hookish, finding permanent homes in many a listener’s mind. You’ll go from head-scratchin’ to leg-shakin’ in three songs or less with Peter Heithoff, Benji Nagel, Dennis McGregor, Justin Veloso and Patrick Lombardi.

THE NOTEABLES January 29, 7–10:30pm The big band era comes alive whenever The Notables Swing Band plays the great swing music of the 1930s - 50s. They are a 17-member band in Central Oregon that provides rousing live big band music for dancing and entertainment. The playlist includes a big variety of more recent favorites, all played with the traditional full sounds of a classic big band.

TOMMY CASTRO AND THE PAIN KILLERS February 17, 8–11pm Night after night, Tommy Castro, a fierce and fiery road warrior, fervently delivers his driving, blues-soaked, soul-baring music to fans all over the world.

The road is where he honed his guitar playing to a razor’s edge. It’s where he learned how to captivate an audience with his intensely passionate vocals and his memorable songs, licks and grooves. It’s where he learned to turn his band into a dynamic, high-performance engine, able to bring down the house with a soulful ballad and then bring fans to their feet with a blistering blues rocker.

January 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

In the words of Blues Revue, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.”

Over the course of his four-decade career, Castro has played thousands of shows to hundreds of thousands of fans, packing dance floors, always leaving them screaming for more. He has released 14 albums filled with original blues, soul and West Coast rock, each one standing alone. Hailing from the San Francisco area, Castro, along with his band, The Painkillers (currently featuring bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Michael Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown), play music that is guaranteed to fire up fans and leave critics searching for new words of praise. Billboard says the band plays “irresistible contemporary blues-rock” with “street-level grit and soul.” Now, with Method To My Madness, the group turns the intensity up another notch.

BROTHERS COMATOSE WITH THE EASY LEAVES February 27, 8–11pm Despite their name, The Brothers Comatose have become known nationwide for lively, high-energy performances. This five-piece string band from San Francisco blends Americana, Folk and Bluegrass with concise song writing to create a unique experience that leaves audiences wanting more.

The Easy Leaves are very top of the Country heap in San Francisco, headlining and filling big rooms (Great American Music Hall, The Independent, Mystic Theatre), main stage set at last year’s Outside Lands Festival (Willie Nelson told them, “We should play together again”).

CMT premieres their videos... but more to the point, they write, record and perform incredible songs. Songs that are meticulously crafted, and have great capabilities of (just plain) moving people. Under the guidance of Merle Haggard’s music and countless other important poets, The Easy Leaves have written their own great collection of poetry for the common man.
