Notes from the Publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews

Caldera Crafts Powerful Change in Young People

C

“We know what creativity does. It lifts you right up, and it explodes inside you and makes something really special happen. We just started taking some amazing young children that have been in really difficult situations. They just fell in love with each other and this has been going on for 20 years.” Founder of Caldera Dan Wieden from an interview by Doug Zanger on TheDrum.com.

entral Oregon at-risk youth with limited opportunities have greatly benefited from Caldera’s long-time mission to be a catalyst for the transformation of underserved youth. Founded in 1996 by Dan Wieden (co-founder of the Portland, Oregon-based international advertising agency, Wieden+Kennedy) and his family, the innovative, year-round art and environmental camp continues to nurture creativity and by doing so it has transformed hundreds of young people who grew and prospered by developing their own self-expression and self-worth.

Caldera, not just a onetime program, works with the students for seven years, though high school and into early adulthood. Numerous inspiring stories can be told of at-risk youth who set out from Caldera to make a difference in their own lives while uplifting their families and communities. They have become change agents of positive influence.

Every year Caldera supports over 430 youth from Central Oregon and Portland, integrating over 100 professional youth workers, artists and environmental specialists as mentors and teachers. In 2015, Caldera received a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award from First Lady Michelle Obama, recognizing Caldera as one of the top youth arts programs in the nation.

Recently Caldera was awarded a $35,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support its ongoing Geography of We project, a multi-year transmedia initiative that links Caldera’s arts and environmental programming. Focused on storytelling techniques that range from traditional forms to digital media, professional artists in film, animation, photography, writing, music, painting, sculpture and design give students the opportunity to explore their identity through the central theme of air.

Every summer, over 150 students and staff pack their bags and head out to the Caldera Arts Center on Blue Lake (about sixteen miles west of Sisters) for three eight- to ten-day camp sessions. They connect with their campmates and immerse themselves in various arts workshops, explore nature, build community and dive into the depths of their unique creative voices.

The NEA grant supports the fifth phase of the Geography of We project that will be launched during the summer camp sessions beginning mid-July. And you may not be going to camp but this summer but you can see this project in action with a public tour of the Caldera Arts Center on July 22 or August 12.

Summer camp at Caldera has all the makings similar to your own youth camp experiences: campfires, camp songs, nature hikes, challenge courses and lake activities. Except this camp consists of professional teaching artists, naturalists and mentors who changes lives. Imagine the opportunities to delve, for the

first time in a safe and welcoming environment, into music/audio production, visual arts, photography, dance, theatre, filmmaking, comics, drumming and creative writing.

Caldera will astonish you! It’s a creative place of enduring appeal, a healing environment, an uplifting space set in the middle of a beautiful forest near a dazzling lake. “I know when I go there, I feel like a better person,” said Tricia Snell, Caldera’s former executive director to TheDrum.com. “I feel like a more loving person, I slow down. I’m a little bit more mindful and I think everybody feels that way.”

You can make your reservation for your own camp empowerment by emailing Natalie.Whitlock@CalderaArts.org.

Redmond Proficiency Academy Students Win Awards

Redmond Proficiency Academy freshman Lily Yeatman won first place in the Maryhill Museum of Art Juried Exhibition sponsored by the MJ Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center.

High school art students from throughout Washington and Oregon were asked to showcase their art. Yeatman’s was awarded for her three dimensional work, entitled Rabbit.

Yeatman’s art will be on Rabbit by RPA student Lily Yeatman display in the new Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing of Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, Washington through July 30.

“Lily is a tremendously talented artist, and I am so happy that the Maryhill Museum has recognized her work,” said fine arts teacher Ethan Stelzer. “Many artists dream of having their work displayed alongside the greats, but few actually get to see it happen during their lives, much less before even graduating from high school.”

Redmond Proficiency Academy sophomore Michaela Alexander won first place at the Cascade School of Music (CSM) Honors Concert at the Tower Theatre recently.

Alexander won for her performance of Minuet 1 and Minuet 2 from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suite 1. Seven students from local area high schools were invited to play at the concert. Alexander and six other students had each previously won a monthly Fortissimo Award for their excellence in musicianship, for which each received a $100 scholarship toward their music studies at CSM and an invitation to play at the concert.

The monthly winners competed for the $1,000 scholarship prize.

The scholarship will be used toward further music studies at CSM. The competition was judged by well-known Central Oregon musicians, including Michael Gesme, conductor of the Central Oregon Symphony.

Sunriver Music Festival Young Artists Scholarship

The Sunriver Music Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship (YAS) program awarded $37,400 to 26 classical music students between the ages of 13 to 24.

“This year, out of the 26 scholarships, seven of the students were new applicants,” explains Pam Beezley, executive director of the Sunriver Music Festival. “While it is exciting to see new talent, it is wonderful

Beezley points out that one of this year’s scholarship winners, Miya Saito Beckman, violin, is celebrating 11 straight scholarship years. Two students, Taylor Gonzales, piano and Kiarra Saito Beckman, violin, have won scholarships for eight years.

Scholarships are awarded in three categories: 1) College or music conservatory tuition, 2) Private music lessons and 3) Music camps. To qualify for scholarships, students must reside in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook or Harney counties and they must aspire to be professional classical musicians.

2017 Congressional Art Competition

U.S. Rep. Greg Walden announced that Shannon Hoyer, a freshman at Mountain View High School, has been selected as a Regional Winner for Oregon’s Second Congressional District in the 2017 Congressional Art Competition. Let’s Look Up was ranked highly by a panel of local Let's Look Up by Shannon Hoyer. judges. Shannon’s art will hang in Walden’s Bend office.

The Congressional Art Competition is a nationwide program for students to showcase their artistic abilities and to highlight the importance of art education. Since its start in 1982, more than 650,000 high school students from around the country have participated.

Arts & Culture Alliance Grant

The Arts and Culture Alliance of Central Oregon is the recipient of a $15,000 grant from the Community Grant (That includes funds from Fred W. Fields Fund, Dorris Coombs Thomas Fund, Ward Family Fund) of The Oregon Community Foundation to hire a community coordinator to improve marketing, branding and membership strategies to promote the creative economy in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook Counties.

carving equipment. We have a couple of stone cutter-carvers amongst us.

Book Launch Features Bend Creative Writers

T

he Clockwork Purple Volume 1 book launch will be held at Dudley’s Bookshop Café August 11 at 1pm. This unique anthology features a collection of short stories by local authors from the Bend Creative Writers group. Six authors will each read one selection and be available for autographs.

Clockwork Purple features a collection of 68 short stories and 15 poems, which began on Monday mornings in the summer of 2016 when a small group of friends met at Dudley’s in Bend. They randomly picked a “prompt” from one of the books in the store. Then, they would write for 45 minutes based on that prompt. At the end of the time, they would read their stories aloud to each other without fear of criticism.

The diversity of content among the authors was not only entertaining, it was often healing, thought-provoking and even comical, which encouraged them to publish their collection of stories in Clockwork Purple.

The authors are Aingeal Rose O’Grady, a prolific author of 13 books and an internationally known master reader and teacher of the Akashic Records.

Charles Scamahorn runs the gamut of life experiences from his career as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force to helping found the Berkeley Barb, and sheds light on the prompts with his academic wit.

Dell Blackman is an intuitive poet with a gift of simplifying thought-provoking ideas. Harriette Hoover Green has been working as a psychotherapist for over thirty years, while incorporating Quantum Physics into her work, which adds a spiritual dimension to her writing.

Kevin O’Grady is a published author and radio host on World of Empowerment Radio.

Linda Kay is a non-fiction author with a background in advertising copy and is now inspired with the challenge of writing fiction. www.clockworkpurple.com Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | July 2017

BendFilm Festival It’s All About the Story

BendFilm announced the 2017 BendFilm Festival will run October 12-15 at iconic locations around Bend including the historic Tower Theatre, Tin Pan Theater and McMenamins - Old St. Francis. BendFilm is a celebration of independent storytelling through film, music, events, panel discussions and more.

Now in its 14th year, the BendFilm Festival typically screens 100 films and awards $10,000 in prizes directly to independent filmmakers.

Todd Looby, executive director of BendFilm, said, “When audiences gather to watch a film and explore new ideas that unfold on screen, the energy in the theater is palpable. There will never be a substitute for a communal film watching experience when you can hear directly from the filmmaker after the screening and continue the discussion with your friends long after you leave. For those reasons and many more, we invite everyone to come experience the power of film with BendFilm in October.”

BendFilm has unveiled the 2017 festival creative campaign featuring the message, It’s All About the Story, to complement the organization’s deep commitment to sharing stories to create meaningful engagement and dialogue. This year’s campaign utilizes a bright yellow background, white block letters, an arresting image featuring local models intended to solicit curiosity and the question, “what is going on…”

The campaign was created by Bend-based branding firm, Astir Agency.

“Just like a good independent film stirs dialogue at the festival, we want this year’s campaign to evoke curiosity in our filmgoers and a desire to share stories,” says BendFilm Marketing Director René Mitchell. “Community engagement is a crucial piece to what BendFilm does and this campaign is meant to help spark interest before, during and well after the festival. As that is the power of film.”

The 2017 line up will be selected by the BendFilm team and a committee of screeners from around the world and announced in late September. Due to its value to the local filmmaking community and wide appeal, BendFilm Festival will once again host the First Features panel which centers around an established independent filmmaker like last year’s presenters, John Sayles and Maggie Renzi.

BendFilm will seek collaborations with local nonprofits and special interest groups to bring the community closer to the stories told in the program.

Regular tickets and passes go on sale later in the summer on the BendFilm website.

Sunriver Stars Prepare for Hang on the Bell, Nellie

ollowing a successful run of Play It Again, Sam the Stars are looking forward to the performance of Hang On The Bell, Nellie, a comedic melodrama, just perfect for summer, with hissing and booing the villain, along with cheering and applauding the heroine. This play was written and will be directed by “the real” Bill Walton (not of basketball fame). It will be performed at The Door in the Sunriver Business Park on Thursday through Saturday, August 24-26 in the evening at 7pm and Sunday August 27 as a matinee at 3pm.

The scene is set for hilarious fun when the heroine Nell Finely and her friend Prudence Purewater arrive home from college. Enter the villain, Handsome Jack Vaselino and his sidekick, Dirty McKenzie, apparently with mischief on their minds. Hero Jim Mainstay is home from Over There and he tries to save the day.

E

ach August since 2008 the welcoming banks of the Deschutes River in the Old Mill District in Bend come alive for one of the premier fine art shows in the country: Art in the High Desert (AHD).

In its short ten years Art in the High Desert has been nationally recognized year after year accumulating a desired following with some pretty significant accolades including tenth in the nation for art sales out of 600 reviewed by Art Fair Source Book.

It has consistently risen to top ranking among art festivals around the nation following Art on the Square in St. Louis, festivals in Sausalito, La Quinta, Fort Worth, Woodlands in Texas, Cherry Creek in Denver, Des Moines and Plaza Art Fair in Kansas City, Missouri.

Dave Fox, who founded the festival with his wife, jewelry designer Carla Fox, had a simple vision: to bring truly original thought and intent, going beyond the expected, fine art and craft to Central Oregon.“We thought it would be a good way to jump start the arts community; there was a need to stimulate conversation, which is what this encompasses. We formed a great collaboration with the Old Mill District and Art in the High Desert was born.”

AHD showcases new artists every year as well as past favorites. This year the juried show had 697 total applications narrowed down to over 115 artists from across North America including 46 new artists for 2017.

Dave notes that they keep it to a reasonable number of artists so it’s a successful, balanced the show. There is work for sale at every price point. “Artists will come from 28 different states, predominately from the Northwest,” he explains, “but a large number are from the east. The show is positioned during the busiest tourist season so artists can travel to several shows including Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Portland and the Bay Area.”

It is a coveted venue for local artists as well and six Central Oregonians are represented this year: Danae Bennet-Miller-Printmaking & Sculpture, Cheryl Chapman-Glass, Kim Chavez-Sculpture, Annie ChrietzbergCeramics, Carla Fox-Jewelry and Mary Medrano-2-D Mixed.

“We make sure that everyone is an original artist,” says Dave, “these are the artists who do the work...unveiling a strong story about their work. We want artists who are really pushing beyond what you would see anywhere else.

“There are four things we say: original David Bjurstrom thought and intent — going beyond what is Austin, Texas

expected, overall concept or voice of their work, excellence in craftsmanship and consistency in style, that it really stands out.”

Along with bringing over 115 qualified artists and numerous visitors and art collectors to Bend each August, the nonprofit show is produced by an all volunteer collection of artists and art patrons.

AHD is one of the local organizations recognized for the cultural tourism impact they have in Anthony Hansen Morro Bay, California Central Oregon.

In a survey of over thirty art and cultural member organizations in the Art & Culture Alliance of Central Oregon, data shows that more than $16 million are spent annually on the arts in the area. The art show has been particularly successful at attracting cultural tourists, many coming from outside Central Oregon (including Florida, New York, Alaska and Hawaii) and most come specifically for AHD. BENCHMARK AWARDS Dave and Carla contemplated how they could identify and encourage artists to really put together a great presentation of their work and engage with the public.

The result was the creation of five Benchmark Awards.

As explained on the AHD website, “Many art festivals present awards to exhibitors. Most commonly in our experiences the awards are listed as ‘Best of---’ with a “winner” from each media category or from the whole show. We believe that our jury already made those awards and that art is not a competitive event, that recognition goes to each of our chosen artists.

“Our Benchmark Awards are another way for us to honor excellence at the show. Since the beginning of Art in the High Desert we have emphasized specific goals, values and behaviors that have helped us to shape what the show is today.

“Our Benchmark Awards will recognize those artists who we believe best exemplify those attributes including practicing thoughtful and professional presentation to the public, in booth and art, being well prepared for all aspects of the show, upbeat and positive in their work, and with the public and fellow artists, making Eileen Sorg an effort to be actively involved Kingston, Washington

COVER ARTIST

COVER ARTIST Gregory Strachov Strachover, awarded the Gold Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Art by the Butler Institute of American Art, hails from Floral City, Florida.

The paintings of Gregory Strachov are in collections all over the world. His work has been honored in prominent museums in this country as well as abroad. Strachov has conducted numerous lectures on art and theory and these have been televised as well as used as instructional material in museums and in graduate studies. During his career, his work has earned 63 prestigious awards.

During 2001, 16 mid career artists were selected from the United States to be shown at the Chateau Musee’, a museum owned by the Grimaldi family of Monaco, situated at the top of a hill overlooking the Mediterranean in Cagnes sur Mer, France. This was an exhibition to show that Gregory Strachov there are new directions as well as new explorations in painting. Four of Strachov’s works were Floral City, Florida featured and he was honored with one of four top awards.

Strachov has taken a good look at the art world and the strata of art that is offered. He realized that one of the major proponents to abstraction was the removal of the narrative.“I wanted to paint great beauty which had imagery that provoked no reason for its existence other than the beauty of that moment. To do so, I had to search for a subject matter which offered no meaning other than the beauty of the object itself. I drove to the deserted landscape of the West and walked and explored the landscape for months.

“In this vastness, I found profound changes in my thinking had occurred. While walking through that landscape, with each step that I took, I learned to feel more than I had to think. In this enormous and empty place I found the most where other minds see the least. My current work is the direct result of this realization.”

with the public during the show, helping others to understand and appreciate the value of art in quality living and showing excellence in their applied art and their work in general.”

AHD will acknowledge up to five artists who they believe embody the standards, goals and benchmarks of Art in the High Desert. Benchmark awards are selected by the AHD board and announced Sunday, August 28, 8:45am at a special catered breakfast in the Hospitality Tent.

A6 Evolves/Changes Name to

Bend Art Center

A

telier 6000, a printmaking studio and gallery space in Bend’s Box Factory, takes a leap forward with a name change to Bend Art Center this month.

A Grand Opening on Thursday, July 6 from 5-8 pm will introduce Bend Art Center to the community. This free event features live music, creative studio play and a preview of July’s exhibit, Lee Kelly: Sculpture and Prints.

will host guest artist speakers and monthly art appreciation programs to showcase a wide variety of contemporary and historical art.

Over the past eight years, A6 struggled to build public awareness. “Our formal name, Atelier 6000, was not easily understood by the public—or grant panels,” explained Bruce Emerson, board president. “Our nickname, A6, also left people guessing what we were about.”

The switch to Bend Art Center happens to coincide with a change in leadership.

Dawn Boone, executive director since 2014, recently stepped into a new role as education manager. Alexis Chapman, on staff since last fall, became the new executive director as of June 1.

After weathering a financial crisis this spring, staff and board felt a greater urgency in addressing the name issue. A generous outpouring of community support provided the means to tackle a rebrand and purchase new signage.

The A6 studio will live on within Bend Art Center and carry on Clark’s legacy. A6 will continue to offer workshops in printmaking and book arts, and foster the development of local artists through studio membership.

THE ARTS

Bend Art Center recently received $1,500 from Art on the River and $3,600 from Clabough Foundation to provide arts education to underserved schools in Redmond and La Pine. After a test run in 2016, Bend Art Center is poised to begin offering offsite programs to schools across the region this fall. These programs reflect a growing commitment to address equity and arts access in Central Oregon.

Bend Art Center is open to the public Monday-Friday 10-7pm, Saturday 10-6pm and Sunday 12-5pm for exhibit viewing. Admission is free. www. bendartcenter.org

The name Bend Art Center was chosen not only for clarity, but because, “We wanted to give the community a sense of ownership,” explained A6 Founder Patricia Clark, who has introduced scores of local artists to printmaking and book arts.

This new identity opens up exciting possibilities for long-term growth and the board believes the new name will foster public understanding of its programs.

Bend Art Center will stretch beyond its roots and present a broader array of art—including photography and sculpture—in the main exhibition space. The Center

Journeys Art Quilt Group’s 10 Year Anniversary A group of artists that aim to go beyond the expected, to explore new dimensions, to make unexpected original works and have fun doing so!

17th Annual

WHEELER COUNTY BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL 2017 June 30 - July 2 Fossil, OR

Work by Donna Rice

by DONNA L RICE, Member of Journeys Art Guilt Group In 2007, 12 Central Oregon quilters started a journey and formed a group to explore assorted quilting and fiber art techinques, taking their craft to a higher level. Meeting once a month, they have shared their collective passion for fabric, fiber, techniques and other forms of art. While many members have a background using fabric and fiber creating clothing, home décor, quilts, etc., there are also members that draw from an art background and enjoy the use of textiles for their medium. Each member has their own diverse skills and unique style. Although the artists works their craft individually, meeting monthly creates an energy that inspires and motivates each individual to a higher level of creativity.

Members have come and gone through the years. There are now 14 artists in the group: Betty Gientke, Catherine Beard, Charlene Kenny, Donna Rice, Helen Brisson, Jan McBrien Tetzlaff, Jean WellsKeenan, Judy Beaver, June Jaeger, Marion Shimoda, Martha Sanders, Mary Stiewig, Sheila Finzer and Tonye Phillips.

The Journeys Art Group exhibits their work locally and regionally throughout each year. The 2016-17 exhibit theme is Come to the Edge, a poem written

by Christopher Logue. Whether the artist worked in a literal direction or was inspired to push their work to the “edge” you can truly see the diversity of approaches within the group.

The Journeys Art Quilt Group had their first showing at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS) in 2007. To celebrate ten years together, they are again displaying their work at the 2017 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

Work by June Jaeger

“We are inspired to create glass sculptures in a broad range of styles. The desire of creation moves us into new realms every day we are in our studio. Working side by side and having the connection between us is a driving force in the studio,” says Heather.

Jeff, a fourth generation Oregonian, grew up in Bend and graduated from Bend Senior High in 1995. While at the University of Oregon he took a marble making class that focused his interest into glass. After being married for about a year Heather began to assist Jeff in the studio and now, through teamwork, they are able to accomplish much more complex glassblowing projects. Previously based in the Corvallis area the Thompsons moved their glassblowing studio to Bend in 2005.

“Behind the art there is a scientist inside me and I find it very satisfying to design, engineer and build my custom studio equipment which includes crucible furnaces, oversized kilns and many various peripherals. For me, this global view of my process is an important part of mastering the medium,” says Jeff.

Jeff are Heather are the newest member artists at the Red Chair Gallery. Their work is represented in fine art galleries all over the country and they were featured on Oregon Art Beat in 2007.

usband and wife glassblowing team Jeff and Heather Thompson have been creating sculpture in molten hot glass together for over 17 years. Their artworks are an intelligent blend of contemporary, traditional and custom techniques that they compliment with a diverse taste in modern sculpture. Their style is based in the traditional Italian method of glassblowing which utilizes a long steel blowpipe to ‘gather’ liquid hot glass from a crucible furnace. They are best known for their sea life sculptures as well as their contemporary vases and large-scale installations.

Chavez was commissioned to create three pieces that would honor the former mascots of each school that had been housed in the building — a golden panther, a wolf and an eagle. Each original bronze sculpture is perched upon a steel pedestal greeting guests at the main entry to the building.

Douglas Robertson, a respected artist, founder and executive director of the festival, along with local artists, bring the project to life. Robertson notes that the festival is a reflection of artists’ desire to interact directly with the public. He adds that the HDMF, a 501c3 nonprofit, encourages positive artistic development as an economic driver in Bend as realized in major U.S.

cities and abroad.

No longer in the domain of anonymous “street art” night creations, murals presently generate respectable market sums. Former “street artist” now renowned artist, Banksy‘s Rat & Heart mural brought 106,250 GBP (Great Britain Pound) in auction at Sotheby’s Untitled Mural by Nicole Fontana London. Similarly, Shepard Fairey, creator of the OBEY street art label and the Obama Hope poster, completed a series of murals for the cities of Chicago and San Francisco.

From ancient Pompeii frescoes to the respected creations of Diego Rivera for New York’s Museum of Modern Art, murals occupy a significant role in global art. The High Desert Mural Festival Untitled Mural by Megan Meyers supports this potential for Bend and encourages interested artists to contact the festival.

Busik’s whimsical and bold paintings celebrate her Dragonflies by Susan Busik Latina heritage.Traditional in Hispanic art is magical realism or portrayal of the unseen, the spiritual in nature. Her art includes many such references including hummingbird and butterfly images as well as spirals of dots of brilliant color symbolizing spirit’s presence in our material world.

Her over-scale images of forests with full moons and dragon flies, boldly hued dahlias Monarchs by Susan Busik (Mexico’s national flower), are a tribute to the magic realism of the nation’s folk art. Adopted as a child, the artist knew nothing of her heritage. Learning of her birth mother’s Latina origins, she sought to connect to those roots with the surrealistic images and brilliant color of traditional Mexican folk art.

With her newfound passion, Busik painstakingly taught herself the complexity of the folk art’s design and color. The process yielded a fearless painter, connected joyously to her past.

The lobby exhibition is open during all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule with info at 503-780-2828, billyeturner@bendnet.com .

Peterson/Roth Gallery 206 NW Oregon Ave, Ste. 1, 541-633-7148, thegallery@petersonroth.com www.petersonroth.com Summer Exhibition featuring Christian Burchard and Korey Gulbrandson.

Starting as an apprentice to furniture makers, Burchard quickly turned his attention to woodturning. His wood of choice is Pacific Madrone burl because as it dries, it warps, allowing the wood to take its own shape.

Gulbrandson starts each piece with a hand-crafted wood canvas and evolves with an accumulation of layers, manipulating wax and various mediums. Using a torch and carving tools Korey scribes and removes the layers.

Sarah B. Hansen, Mixed Media, Open Thoughts Tumalo Art Company Old Mill District, www.tumaloartco.com, 541-385-9144 Sarah B. Hansen shows new works in her solo show, Nature Unplugged.

Looking to nature to escape modern distractions using watercolor, gouache and collage in a semi-abstract manner, Sarah’s art conveys a sensation of peace and inner strength. Depth and texture in her mixed-media work of the Pacific Northwest illustrate a multi-layered process of connecting back to that central core of being.

Sarah has developed a technique of painting on re-purposed, recycled Plexiglas that involves creating texture by applying gesso and collaged items in addition to calligraphic marks, words or patterns onto the sheeting. As a result, the surface becomes an intriguingly unique base for her loose, textural watercolors.

RESORT LODGE BETTY GRAY GALLERY Summer In The High Desert: JM Brodrick, MaryLea Harris, Karen Ruane Sky and Storm in the American Art Collector article, The Art of the Horse, encourages her choice.

Brodrick works with Healing Reins, donating paintings each year for auction to help sponsor a horse for their respected programs and, similarly, donating to 3 Sisters Equine Rescue to help raise money to sponsor horses. The artist earnestly adds, “I just love painting horses!”

Harris, visual artist of Bend, brings an impressive background in mixed media, sculptural books and fiber arts to her current work. Now specializing in abstract art, she analogizes the Gabriel by JM Brodrick interplay between positives and negatives, both he Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray as elements of space and color in painting and in Gallery presents its summer quarter life experiences. series through September 6. The exhibit, Summer in the High Desert, features JM Brodrick, Her abstract work features highly saturated hues MaryLea Harris and Karen Ruane. both in background and foreground, creating spatial perception and movement through juxtaposition of Bend artist Brodrick exhibits one of her most light and dark values in the colors. The eye cannot admired subjects — horses. When queried why the resist movement between the dark and light, the horse, she noted, “It’s the pure beauty and power negative and positive. Similarly, the artist offers of the horse that I love.” Her realistic and detailed perspective on the influence of life experiences, equines appear on a subtle abstract background, both joyful and sad, positive and negative, and the serving both to emphasize and anchor the subject. interplay of time/space and their impact in life.

T

Her affection for the horse is evident in her rendering of each as an individual with a distinct personality. Further, her attention to the subtle tilt of a horse’s head, the turn of the neck, gaze of the eyes, reveals her skill of intuitive observation of their character and temperament.

As a child in Detroit, Michigan and again on weekend trips with her father to Chicago, she observed the mounted police and painted their horses.

These adored animals became her early subject.

Then, for some thirty years, she painted other subjects; but, upon moving to Bend,“…my love for painting horses returned and now is a major part of my genre.” Having her paintings of horses sell out in the prestigious 2015 Traveling Art of The West at Southwest Gallery in Dallas, Texas and the 2016 Mountain Oyster Annual Art Exhibit in Tucson, Arizona and the June 2017 feature of her paintings

Harris also creates spatial perception in her abstract work through multiple layers of paint with areas scraped away to create varied, subtle depths as well as light reflection or shadow. For her scraping process, she uses plastic gift cards that make excellent tools. The artist notes that the cards also serve as a reminder of our consumer-driven society and our frequent use of man-made materials to replace nature. Her latest paintings, entitled Map Series, explore our relationships between physical place,

connection, belonging and our collective p e r s o n a l journeys.

Ruane, also of Bend, notes, “I love color, I love nature, I love Perfectly Imperfect by MaryLea Harris form.”

These powerful factors influence the current focus of her art as both expressionistic and abstract forms.

She uses alcohol inks (a combination of alcohol and a color base) to create her imagery. The highly-pigmented inks may be made more or less fluid depending upon the amount of alcohol present.

Instances of the effect of the fluidity can be observed in the more expressionistic image of her Hydrangea wherein the flower is easily recognized yet not realistic, or the abstract image of Tangle wherein blue, yellow Tangle by Karen Ruane and subsequent green flow together in an entwined, enigmatic form.

Ruane, long a fan of the unpredictable in her artwork, values the fluid medium which she permits to flow in its self-chosen, but somewhat guided, path. The results are arbitrary yet minimally tractable and certainly unique.

Sunriver Resort invites the public to the exhibition.

he summer is warming up and it is time to party with the artists. The Artists’ Gallery Sunriver will be hosting an event on Saturday, July 8 from 4-7pm. Many of the participating thirty artists will be serving up wine, beer and appetizers while displaying their latest artistic endeavors.

The gallery is presenting four featured artists for the month of July: potter Diane Miyauchi, alternative potter Peter Roussel watercolor artists Marjorie Cossairt and Deni Porter.

Miyauchi’s pieces demonstrate all that is good with traditional pottery. Her signature Sunriver coffee mugs are always in demand. The distinctive blue/ green glaze of her many serving bowls, platters and other dishes make excellent gifts or additions to your personal kitchen and dining collection. All pieces are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe. But if you want to purchase something to make your home a more special place, then take a look at Miyauchi’s raku art vases. Each piece is a unique presentation of the raku glazing process and a beautiful art piece that you will enjoying looking at forever.

Kitty by Deni Porter

Artists’ Gallery Sunriver

Roussel makes pottery pieces that are designed and produced specifically to be eye catching works of art. He makes all pottery by hand and throwing on the potters wheel. He looks at each piece as a blank canvas ready for surface treatments far from traditional glazing techniques. Whether horse hair, sagger, slip resist, smoked, raku or fumed and pit fired, the end result is always surprisingly beautiful. Many pieces are great as display of dried arrangements. But if using the pieces for fresh flowers you must place a water tight container inside the vessel.

The pots are for decorative purposes and indoor use only. Roussel gladly accepts custom orders and on many occasions produced memorial pieces for people who have lost their beloved horses using the tail hair of their horse.

Cossairt brings a diverse mix of artistic skills to her pieces at the gallery.

Fortunately the artist provides high quality, beautifully framed prints of many of her unbelievably popular original pieces. Her colorful depictions of the Central Oregon countryside flora and fauna have a delicate and ethereal quality. Cossairt takes an incredibly difficult painting process and makes it look easy. One painting of dandelions defies the flat paper with its colorful movement. She also produces whimsical ceramic pieces with inspirational words and phrases that would be beautiful in any home.

Porter is a watercolor artist as well, but unlike the ethereal beauty of Cossairt’s work, Porter’s pieces want to jump into your shopping bag and go home with you. Her colorful depictions of animals and Sunriver scenes are further enhanced with the use of colored pencils over top of the watercolor paints.

The artist really shines when painting pet portraits. Simply e-mail a few photos of your treasured pet companion and Porter will paint a one-of-a-kind piece of art for you or as a gift.

Laurel Werhane creates beautiful fused glass art works.

Laurel’s latest creations where inspired by the passing of the family dog, Gus. She began designing affordable fused pendants, pocket memorial stones and plates sprinkled with the ashes of beloved pets. Laurel meets with each family to hear stories and admire photos of their beloved pet. She then customizes her art to fit their special sense of style and design. Her memorial keepsakes help heal the heart and keep memories close.

Art has been a life-long interest for Larry Koppy.

He is a member of Plein Air Painters of Oregon and enjoys painting with watercolors for their unpredictable nature which, with some practice, still allows a certain amount of control. Koppy’s solo exhibition in the Silent Reading Room will feature his characterization of five famous gunfighters.

Horse Show Set for July 18-30

ow in the 28th year, the annual Oregon High Desert Classics Show is scheduled to kick off in Central Oregon on July 18 running through July 30.

Designated a Heritage Site by the prestigious United States Equestrian Federation, the twoweek show is presented by the Oxford Inns, Suites & Hotels and takes place at J Bar J Youth Ranch

Oregon High Desert Classics kids with ribbons & pony's

on Hamby Road east of Bend. The community is invited to come and watch this special event.

The popular Hunter/Jumper competition showcases top riders from the Western United States and Canada, including junior athletes and Olympic competitors. Over $150,000 in prize money is at stake as horse and riders of all ages and levels compete in classes such as United States Hunter/Jumper Association (USHJA) International and National Hunter Derby events.

Each week concludes on Saturday evening with Grand Prix events. In 2016 and again in 2017, J Bar J was selected to be the host of the USHJA Children/Adult Amateur Hunter West Regional Championships, only four of which are held in the nation.

Sponsors and 600 rider entrance fees are instrumental to the success of the Oregon High Desert Classics as well as to the success of the J Bar J Youth Services organization.

A nonprofit organization offering options for at-risk youth who are working toward self-sufficiency, J Bar J Youth Services offers seven programs including the J Bar J Boys Ranch, The Academy at Sisters, The Learning Center, Cascade Youth & Family Center, Big Brother Big Sisters, Safe Families and most recently, Grandma’s House.

“The Oregon High Desert

Classics is the highlight of our summer. It is a pleasure to host sponsors, riders and coaches for this event, and to have spectators join in festivities at the Ranch,” says Executive Director Stephanie Alvstad.“We invite the community out to see the beautiful horses, watch young riders gain confidence and experienced riders compete for a cash purse. There is no charge for spectating.

The proceeds from the event support the many programs offered to kids and families under the J Bar J Youth Services umbrella.”

Attend the 28th Annual Oregon High Desert Classics, the annual fundraiser for all J Bar J Youth Services Programs. This is an “A” rated hunter/ jumper competition with Olympic level riders that you won’t want to miss!

MUSIC & FESTIVALS

Crawfest Annual Music Festival

T

he Crawfest Annual Music Festival July 13-16 in Powell Butte has reached a milestone year as 2017 makes ten years of Crawfest.

The Crawfest Music Festival is a multi-genre musical festival started in 2007 by Jake Crawford. Named after the Crawford family— and taking place on his fourty-acre parcel of private land in rural Powell Butte —according to Jake it has come to be known as a highly affordable and entertaining annual festival that people return to year after year.

Crawfest was initially created as a way for Jake to share music with his friends and family, and has steadily grown from a small gathering with one hand-built stage to a full-blown music festival with two professionally produced stages, featuring over thirty bands. Crawfest’s mission has always been, and continues to be, providing a laid-back atmosphere where artist and audience can connect and enjoy a fun and dynamic live music experience.

Last year’s Crawfest (2016) provided visitors with three days of music on two stages. Crawfest X is turning out to be even bigger, starting with the festival providing attendees an extra night of access to music with the newly added Early Bird Pre-Party show on Thursday for those with early bird tickets.

Participants get to enjoy captivating live bands and solo acts spanning multiple genres including (but not limited to) country, bluegrass, rock, pop, punk, reggae and metal as well as comedy sets by world famous comedian Ngaio Bealum.

Entertainment includes Third Seven Recordings (Billy Mickelson), 100 Watt Mind, Matt Borden and the MFB, Jive Coulis, Cody Roan, Open Defiance, The Mondegreens, the Munsens, Wache The Dead, Second Best, Unofficial: Somewhere Between, The Resinators featuring Tomikaze, The Saxxy Beast, The NeverCanEvers, Harley Bourbon, Faithless Saints, Tactical Martians, Rotary Age, Abandon Shoe, tuck and roll, As the Crow falls, Solo Viaje, Black Karma Social Club, The Heathens, Viahara and Alovitiman.

Lucid Dance New Kind of Dance Experience in Bend

end Urban Festival has created a new movement for Bend. Every Third Friday this DJ-driven event will create a new platform for an all-ages dance and community.

Held at the newest movement studio, Tula Arts, in NorthWest Crossing, Lucid Dance will host a non-alcoholic (and shoeless) evening once a month that will allow freedom of expression as dancers are held in a safe space for their own individual expression.

This environment will emulate a conscious festival experience. All ages are encouraged! Before the main dance, there will be a contact-improv workshop for those interested in learning the dynamics of dancing with a partner or group and, following, a tea/herb elixir bar, chill lounge and booths by local artisans.

Vendors who feel their works would be a good fit are encouraged to contact us. DJ for the first dance will be SinSay (https://soundcloud.com/sinsay-music).

When/Where 3rd Fridays at Tula Movement Arts 2797 NW Clearwater Drive, Suite 100 Schedule 7-8pm Contact Improv Workshop (www.facebook.com/contactimprovbend/) 8-10 Lucid Dance with rotating bevy of masterful DJ’s $10-15 sliding scale covers all admission costs for whole night Ryan Re 541- 639-9695 exudechi@gmail.com

Charlie Parr at Crow’s Fee Commons

harlie Parr, amazing player, insightful writer and all around good dude, will be in Bend on Saturday, July 22 at 7pm at Crow’s Feet Commons touring for Stumpjumper.

Produced by Phil Cook in rural North Carolina, Stumpjumper harnesses the excitement of Charlie’s live show, highlighting his blistering fingerpicking, foot-stomping blues and finely crafted songs like Over the Red Cedar, Falcon and Remember Me If I Forget.

His songs are populated with a list of characters you wouldn’t ordinarily meet: old ladies going to buy the cheap wine (they ain’t no better than the bums), a woman with an uncontrollable temper and people getting left out of getting the American dream.

Long a part of the Duluth, Minnesota music scene (Alan Sparhawk and Low, Trampled

by Turtles), Charlie’s inspiration is drawn from the alternately fertile and frozen soil of Minnesota; his songs exude a Midwestern sensibility and humility. crowsfeetcommons.com Charlie Parr

Ween Kicks Off July at Les Schwab Opening

es Schwab Amphitheater (LSA) plans include more concerts than ever, set to bring throngs of people to the banks of the Deschutes this summer.

Ween! — July 1 Last performance at the LSA was six years ago. Childhood friends Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) and Mickey Melchiondo (Dean Ween) are back to bring their eclectic mix of funk, soul, country, gospel, R&B, punk, metal and more.

LSA with DEFTONES + RISE AGAINST! — July 4th “We’ve been talking to Rise about touring together for a while now. Finally, everything aligned and we get to spend the summer playing shows with our friends.

We couldn’t be more excited and can’t wait to see you at the shows,” Deftones said in a statement.

Slightly Stoopid, Iration & J Boog— July 15 Fusion of folk, rock, reggae and blues with hip-hop, funk, metal and punk.

Jack Johnson SOLD OUT— July 20 An Evening with The Avett Brothers — July 21 The songs are honest: just chords with real voices singing real melodies. But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung, is really why people are talking, and why so many sing along.

Diana Krall — July 25 All tickets include a download of Krall’s upcoming album Turn Up The Quiet, celebrates jazz and the Great American Songbook, reuniting her with Grammy Award-winning producer, Tommy LiPuma.

Steve Miller Band & Peter Frampton — August 4 This will be the first time Frampton has performed at the amphitheater.

Michael Franti & Spearhead — September 8 Blending hip hop with a variety of other styles including funk, raggae, jazz, folk and rock.

Modest Mouse — September 22 Modest Mouse formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washington and has become, over the past two decades, the indie rock gold standard: one of the few bands capable of achieving massive popularity without sacrificing their longtime fans. www.bendconcerts.com

its off-Broadway run in 1960.

Theatre history is an important part of a good theatre education, and with this production of The Fantasticks, Director Jimena Shepherd and Christian Ramirez as Hucklebee & Musical Director Jared Charney Cohen as Bellamy Jonathan Shepherd are bringing a classic experience to the actors of BEAT. Of the show itself Jimena says, “The Fantasticks is magical simplicity. It is a fable about coming of age that doesn’t require elaborate sets and costumes, because the theatrical fancy already exists in the heart and imagination of every single audience member. For that reason, I wanted to bring the production back to Bend and back to the young actors who are just now beginning to create their own Fantasticks story.”

The Shepherds have created a BEAT Bootcamp wherein the actors—all experienced teenage performers—are being challenged with a high level

BEAT Children’s Theatre is Fantastick!!

s love different in the harsh light of day, than in the soft and sweet moonlight?

Can young love be separated by a wall? Or by the manipulations of fathers? This July at 2nd Street Theater in Bend, BEAT Children’s Theatre will present its first production of the long running classic, The Fantasticks. BEAT is proud to be part of the tradition of the 42 years of productions that have made The Fantasticks the longest running musical ever, not to mention one of the most beloved. Music

by Harvey Schmidt and lyrics by Tom Jones, this play has delighted audiences the world over since it began

T

he 27th Annual Bend Memorial Clinic Munch and Music concert series will kick off on Thursday, July 6 with an outstanding line-up of national touring artists.

Every Thursday beginning July 6 through August 10, Bendites can enjoy free music in Drake Park. The evening will include an opening band and a headlining band, time in between acts to grab delicious food from one of the many vendors, craft and fine art vendors and great kids activities like bouncy houses.

Deschutes Brewery Libation Station will be available with beer, wine and cocktails.

July Lineup July 6: ARRIVAL From Sweden is the world’s most popular and best selling ABBA show band and since their start in 1995, the production has toured over Sixty nations and appeared in several TV and radio shows all over the world. They have done fifty tours in the USA since 2005 and have played with over sixty symphony orchestras worldwide since 2007. ARRIVAL from Sweden performs in ABBA inspired clothing. Most of the original outfits used by ABBA were made by Owe Sandström.

July 13: Cowboy Junkies were formed in Toronto in 1985 after guitarist and songwriter Michael Timmins and long-time friend and musical partner,

bassist Alan Anton, recruited Michael’s sister, singer Margo Timmins and brother, drummer Peter Timmins to join them.

The band recorded its blues-inspired debut album Whites Off Earth Now!! (1986) and released it on their own Latent label.

July 20: Ozomatli. Since its inception in 1995, innovation and creativity have defined Ozomatli.

Hailing from Los Angeles, the group found a way to represent the city’s eclectic culture through music that appeals to the local community and the world beyond. Ozomatli’s success is exemplified in an impressive variety of genres, from classic to modern Latino, urban, hip-hop and other world styles.

July 27: The Brothers Comatose. Expansive, uplifting and just downright beautiful, City Painted Gold is one of the most anticipated records of the coming year —at least amongst the loyal fans The Brothers Comatose had won while touring across the country in support of their past two releases. Infused with a sense of relaxed, experienced confidence, The Brothers Comatose offer a southwestern-tinged, rowdy string band sound that might just make this your new favorite record before you turn it over to side B. Walking lockstep with their undeniable top-

of expectation for character development, musical excellence and performance preparation. Director and BEAT Bootcamp creator Jimena Shepherd explains, “For BEAT’s first Bootcamp experience, we went about the rehearsal process a very different way. Our focus was not on the show, but the actors. We addressed each actors’ strengths and weaknesses, and challenged them in a positive learning environment, to grow into skilled artists, not just high energy performers.”

The Fantasticks is a small cast production (only eight actors) allowing for more focus and concentration on the development of each actor’s skills. Unlike other BEAT productions, this was an Audition Only opportunity, requiring the actors to compete for and earn the chance to participate. The resulting cast is dedicated, talented and their final work will charm and impress audiences.

The Fantasticks will be familiar to audiences of many different generations. Some of the musical numbers have become popular favorites on and off the stage, such as Try to Remember.

A small, live band will provide the music through which the story will unfold. The themes of foiled love, self-discovery and redemption are timeless and will resonate with all who see this lovely production. Choreography by Mary Kilpatrick (a BEAT Founder), costumes by Maia Denzler and sets by Gary Loddo will provide a magical, fantastical setting for this beautiful story told by an amazing cast.

Performances begin Friday, July 14 at 2nd Street Theater. www.tickettales.comThe Fantasticks, BEAT Children’s Theatre 7pm, www.tickettales.com

T

New Perspective for July by Eileen Lock

his month starts right out with an emotional intensity that is asking for some type decision on the 2nd. Follow your heart on the 3rd and there will be healing available. Do a lot of listening on the 4th as others may be expressing their feelings. Cooperation over the next few days will inspire you to open up even more and share your thoughts with those near you.

The Full Moon on the 8th is all about decisions and learning to let go of old habits. Memories of the past may surface from the 10th to the 12th as you are learning to speak up for yourself. Talk to your relationships on the 14th and realize how helpful it is for your partner to know what you need. Changes on the 17th could leave you wondering what to do next. Step back and give yourself time to integrate what you are learning and you will be able to see

your next steps. Agreements are made by the 19th and action starts by the next day. The New Moon on the 23rd asks for you to step up and do what you have been only talking about up until now.

Trust your ability to make the necessary changes on the 25th and making a “to do” list would help you to stay focused. A strong desire to express yourself on the 26th could initiate changes that last through the end of the month.

Check in with your heart on the 31st and take time to understand how you feel. A lot has happened this month and a little quiet time will feel good.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock, Clairvoyant Astrologer/Spiritual Medium 541-389-1159 1471 NW Newport Ave., Bend www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com
