NotesPamela fromHulse theAndrews Publisher Exhibit Leaves Us Looking for Local Artists

I

received a press release recently from The Ford Family Foundation announcing the selection of Oregon visual artists — five of Portland and one of Eugene — as the 2016 Hallie Ford Fellows in the Visual Arts. This is the seventh year of the $25,000 unrestricted awards to support Oregon visual artists and their exploration, conceptualization, production, exhibition and documentation of new work.

During the seven years not one Central Oregon artist has been selected for one of these awards despite local artists applying for this honor. I suspect that Hallie Ford, a philanthropist from Roseburg, Oregon who ‘ left a legacy of support to the Oregon arts ecology’ would not be pleased about the Portland/Eugene continued spotlight for her funds.

Another arts group, the Portland Biennial, claims to have “conducted a major survey of Oregon artists who are defining and advancing the state’s contemporary arts landscape.” The Portland 2016 Biennial is a two-month celebration of the here and now that showcases 34 artists at 25 partner venues in eleven communities across the state billed to be “the largest and most comprehensive survey of Oregon art, ever.”

Seriously? Of the 34 artists selected for this showcase not one is from the Central Oregon region, in fact 20 come from Portland, one from Beaverton, one from Ashland, two Corvallis, eight Eugene, one Springfield and the only one from the eastside of the mountains is from Pendleton.

I am really perplexed as to how the curator Michelle Grabner (credentials include co-curator of the 2014 Whitney Biennial and senior critic at Yale University in the department of painting and printmaking) who claims to have reviewed over 400 artist submissions and conducted more than 100 studio visits across the state could completely overlook the talented artists in Central Oregon. Think Randy Redfield, Bill Hoppe and Sandy Brooke. She claims her search to be the most extensive outreach to Oregon contemporary artists to date. She missed and/or ignored the High Desert.

Grabner said in a press release: “From La Grande to Ashland, I was looking for work that addressed global realities as much as it embraced Article on Justin Kelchak Published by Error In the June issue of Cascade A&E on page 22 a bio was published on local artist Justin Kelchak. The bio was sent to Cascade A&E as a press release from local Red Chair Gallery who received the information directly from Mr. Kelchak for an exhibit at the Gallery.

This information was previously published in Bend Lifestyle magazine which is owned by Lifestyle Publications based in Overland Park, Kansas.

Cascade A&E unknowingly and without knowledge republished the information.

Lifestyle Publications has threatened a lawsuit claiming 'copyright infringement' and has demanded that Cascade A&E give Gregg Morris credit for writing the article. Mr. Kelchak has claimed he wrote most of the article and is perplexed by the Cease and Desist Demand.

Although we have removed the information from our website we are now noting that the bio was originally published under the byline of Mr. Morris in Bend Lifestyle. We regret publishing the information.

radical regionalism. By listening attentively to the language that frames artists’ imaginations while witnessing the space of making, my 105 studio visits yielded a treasure of exhilarating work. It was a privilege to transverse the State of Oregon and to meet with artists and arts professionals who are enthusiastically committed to fostering a spirited culture in the region.”

The Portland Biennial includes exhibitions, events and performances in multiple locations from July 9 through September 18 including COCC Pinkney Gallery and Art Adventure Gallery (see new exhibits this issue for dates).

Since I am not a visual artist, I don’t view my concern for lack of recognition of local artists as sour grapes. I hope you will help me in expressing your concerns about the Portland/Eugene artistic focus.

Arts Central Receives Major Grant

Arts Central is the recipient of a $15,000 grant award from The Collins Foundation to expand its staff and upgrade equipment, all to deliver enhanced services throughout Central Oregon.

The Collins Foundation exists to improve, enrich and give greater expression to humanitarian endeavors in the state of Oregon, and to assist in improving the quality of life in the state. The majority of their one-year grant to Arts Central will help fund an existing full-time administrative position, which will allow other staff members to focus on programming and outreach efforts.

Deborah Allen, Arts Central’s interim executive director, states, “The Collins Foundation is an ongoing supporter of Arts Central and we are so pleased to receive this latest grant. We pride ourselves on delivering great customer service and being able to bring on an additional staff member means we can take that customer experience to the next level.”

Grant proceeds are also being used to purchase new fixtures and repair pottery equipment at Art Station, the organization’s visual arts school in the Old Mill District. www.artscentraloregon.org

Sunriver Music Festival Awards Scholarships to Central Oregon Musicians

The Sunriver Music Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship (YAS) program had a record breaking year and awarded $38,000 to 29 classical music students, between the ages of 12 to 23, over the weekend of June 1-3. The individual

scholarships ranged from $200—$5,000.

Celebrating 21 years, the Young Artists Scholarship program has awarded $438,300 to 135 Central Oregon music students in middle school, high school and college. To qualify for scholarships, students must reside in Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook and Harney counties and they must aspire to be professional classical musicians.

On Sunday, June 12 at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Sunriver, 17 of the 2016 scholarship winners performed to a full house at the annual YAS. The Young Artists Scholarship program began in 1996 with a handful of talented music students and a generous grant from the Sunriver Women’s Club.

Today, the Women’s Club continues to support the Festival’s music education programs in addition to a growing number of individual contributors. Other grants supporting the Sunriver Music Festival’s music education programs are from the Sunriver Rotary Club and the Oregon Community Foundation. The majority of the individual contributions to the scholarship program occur at the Sunriver Music Festival’s annual fundraiser, Festival Faire (scheduled for Sunday, July 31 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall). www.sunrivermusic.org

Sage Hassell 2016 Congressional Art Competition Winner

U.S. Rep. Greg Walden announced that Sage Hassell, a senior at Mountain View High School, has been selected as the overall winner for Oregon’s Second Congressional District in the 2016 Congressional Art Competition. In a record year for entries, Sage’s painting, entitled Flaunt It, was selected by a panel of local judges, including Central Oregon Community College art professor Bill Hoppe. The Deschutes County winner was Surprise City by Braya Robbins, a junior at Mountain View High School.

County winners will have their art displayed in one of Walden’s district offices in Bend, Medford, La Grande and Hood River and posted on his website at https://walden.house.gov/art-competition.

The Congressional Art Competition is a nationwide program for students to showcase their artistic abilities and to highlight the importance of art education.

MUSIC AMERICANA PROJECT Sisters Folk Festival celebrated two endof-school-year successes by young artists: the completion of the 2016 Americana Project and the creation of over 45 hand-made guitars and ukuleles through the Americana Luthier Program.

Sisters Americana Project released its 13th full-length record, We Are Stardust, all songs written and recorded by students of Sisters High School. The album was engineered by Brent Alan and was produced by Alan and student Megan Ellsworth, with assistance from Sedona Baer. The songs on the record are an eclectic mix of heartfelt singer-songwriter music, compelling social commentary and whimsical tunes in a primarily acoustic format.The new recording shows the diversity and talent these young artists embody.

Over the development of the Americana Project program, young musicians have invested their tireless effort into exploring and expressing themselves creatively through the art of songwriting. To have the privilege to release yet another full-length album to the public this year is a true testament to the devotion of the students to their craft. The Sisters Americana Project is the educational outreach program of the Sisters Folk Festival and has been actively supporting music and arts education in the Sisters School District for the past ten years. ~ Brad Tisdel/Pamela Hulse Andrews

MOVIE TOWER THEATRE THE HUMAN SCALE

Bend Livability Project and BendFilm hosted a showing of The Human Scale by Andreas Dalsgaard.

Some of the cities featured included Christchurch, New Zealand, Melbourne, Australia, Copenhagen, Denmark and more. Having visited these and many of the other featured cities, I enjoyed hearing what measures had been taken to make them more human - centric and less organized around automobiles. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

ATHLETICS CENTRAL OREGON AERIAL Kendall Knowel and Jessica Orf instruct the most amazing menagerie of aerial classes at the Central Oregon Aerial Arts studio on Empire. Taking the class as a true novice, I was shocked that I could perform a foot lock and several postures after a thirty minute lesson. I highly recommend this as a fun unconventional workout. ~ Krystal Marie Collins CAMPING PRIEST HOLE: MITCHELL, OREGON With hot weather just around the corner, planning a trip to your favorite swimming hole can be at the top of your list. Located in Mitchell, Oregon near the Painted Hills, is a good ol’ fashioned swimming favorite called Priest Hole. A remote spot located in a beautiful valley along the John Day River, Priest Hole is an amazing experience with openings for camping - but no developed sites - giving it a natural wilderness experience.

Just like a favorite swimming hole from childhood. ~Marcee Hillman

PODCAST MATER MEA I stumbled upon Mater Mea by way of another radio show.

Mater Mea offers a realistic depiction of black women in the many spaces they occupy: as mothers, daughters, employees and employers, lovers and friends. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

MUSIC APPALOOSA ON THE LOOSE

WINE VA PIANO

Check out the new CD by Appaloosa, a locally grown Americana band. Songwriters and guitarists, Dottie and Eli Ashley, started writing and making music in 2013. With the addition of the bass, drums, harmonica and another lead guitarist, you get some super hot licks and the full folk/ country sound on their second CD. Playing throughout Central Oregon you will find this is a fun, entertaining and engaging group. In addition to original tunes, Appaloosa tells great stories and often plays covers from their favorite singer/songwriters of the 60s and 70s when performing in public. ~ Pamela Hulse Andrews

FOR WRITERS IN CENTRAL OREGON Rich Opportunity to Learn & Connect This Fall

Oregon: A State That Stands Out

M

ichael McCloskey, former Sierra Club director, released a new book that celebrates the diverse achievements of Oregonians from 1843 to today.

Oregon: A State That Stands Out is the first book to look at Oregon from a national standpoint, assessing how the state stacks up by national standards. Including fun facts and little-known historical firsts, spanning dozens of fields from politics to nature conservation to the arts, A State That Stands Out is an entertaining, educational journey through Oregon’s uniquely compelling history.

Despite its modest population, Oregon not only looks very good by national standards (e.g., often being in the top ten)-sometimes it is even first.

LITERARY WORD

T

his fall, professional and budding writers in Central Oregon will encounter no shortage of opportunities to hone their craft and connect with fellow wordsmiths. From writer’s groups to salons, the literary scene in the region is flourishing.

Local writer Sarah Sennott Cyr will lead two writing groups. With the title Let the Story Come Home to You, the writing groups will meet once a week for eight weeks.

Inspired by the teachings of Natalie Goldberg Writing Down the Bones, timed writing sessions and meditation will be used as tools to elicit stories from the group’s lives. Beginner and seasoned writers are welcome. One group will take place on Monday nights at Sol Alchemy beginning September 14.

The other will be held on Wednesday mornings at Dudley’s Bookshop beginning September 16.

Cyr will host a series of workshops dedicated to elevate the way writer’s read. Called Book Club, Elevated, five works of literature will be studied over the course of ten months. In each workshop, the author’s life, book structure, powerful passages and themes will be examined. Participants will freewrite with prompts generated from the books.

The workshops will be held at The Wilds, a creative co-working space, beginning in September. (www.sarahcyr.com) Mike and Irene Cooper, two graduates of the OSU-Cascades MFA in creative writing program, host two writing events at The Workhouse every month throughout the year. A themed, facilitated workshop is given on the first Saturday of the month and a salon is held on the third Saturday of the month (both 6-8pm).

Salons are informal gatherings where the group shares work, does freewriting based on prompts, discusses craft and workshops pieces. Workshops are $25 and salons are $5. (www.theworkhousebend.com) The Central Oregon Writers Guild, founded in 2002, holds meetings on a monthly basis with featured guest speakers, panels, member readers and small group interaction, with topics of interest to writers at all skill levels. Meetings are free and open to the public and take place at Aspen Ridge Retirement. (www.centraloregonwritersguild.com) Writers will also have the opportunity to gain inspiration from award-winning authors coming to town this fall.

Author Katherine Boo, an American investigative journalist who has documented the lives of people in poverty, will appear at Bend Senior High on October 20 as part of the Deschutes Public Library Foundation Author! Author!

Literary Series. And celebrated author David Sedaris has a sold out show at The Tower Theatre on November 10.

Comedy, Music & Hijinks Come to the Old Stone

FILM & THEATRE

Although the Sisters declined to appear in the Cascades AE office for an interview — they refuse to show their faces in public—they agreed to a brief Q and A session with producers Schor and Cohen:

A

fresh blend of standup comedy and variety will come to Bend on Friday, July 22 and Saturday, July 23, when the Old Stone Performing Arts Center will present the first installment of High Desert Hijinks, an unpredictable mixture of mirth, music and mayhem.

The show is the brainchild of a team of local impresarios who call themselves Two Twisted Sisters. Working in conjunction with producers Howard Schor and Dan Cohen, the Sisters have promised to bring a distinctive, slightly twisted take on variety to the Old Stone stage.

The first shows will feature renowned comic Sharon Lacey, award winning stand-up Randy Mendez and special musical guests. But the Sisters have promised to deliver the unexpected, which has made producers Schor and Cohen a little nervous.

Because of this, the show is recommended for adults only.

11

July 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

Schor & Cohen(S&C): Tell us a little about the performers for the July 22 and 23 show.

Two Twisted Sisters(TTC): Well, Sharon Lacey is one funny female. She headlines comedy clubs across the US and Canada. She’s appeared on ABC, Lifetime, A&E and has played a slew of festivals throughout the west coast. She’s entertained our troops in Iraq and toured Africa, where she performed in Uganda. Sharon actually speaks two of Uganda’s tribal languages. She’s a good soul, but don’t cross her!

S & C: Will she be speaking Ugandan at the Old Stone show?

TTS: Don’t be smart. We’ll crack you!

S & C: And Randy Mendez?

TTS: Randy is quite a piece of work. Smart, with an edge. The Portland Mercury called him, “infinitely charming…with a disarming, ebullient stage presence.” You never know what he’s going to say, except that it will be hilarious.

S & C: What about the other guests?

TTS: We made a clandestine search of your community and discovered a few winners among the general populace. Actually the talent in Bend surprised us. And some of it is quite twisted, which piqued our interest.

S & C: So, comedy and music?

TTS: We already told you that. Were you not paying attention?

S & C: Could you explain what you mean by, “mayhem?”

TTS: Over the years we Sisters have cultivated a highly refined taste for mayhem. But what exactly we plan, you’ll have to find out for yourselves.

S & C: What about the rest of the program?

TTW: If your audience behaves, we may provide a filmed segment or two. But we’re not promising.

S & C: Could you be a little more specific?

TTW: No. But they don’t call us Twisted Sisters for nothing.

S & C: Anything else you’d like to tell the people in Bend?

TTW: Be in your seats promptly at nine. Or we’ll hurt you.

Although the Two Twisted Sisters insist on privacy, producers Schor and Cohen managed to garner a bit of biographical information. Originally three, the Sisters were once renowned throughout Europe and the Americas as impresarios of elite culture. But when an accident resulted in the untimely demise of the “nice” Sister, the remaining two withdrew from public life and took residence in a remote corner of East Central Oregon.

After they posted signs around their sprawling property warning of dire consequences to trespassers, locals began referring to them as the Two Twisted Sisters. The Sisters proudly accepted the moniker. High Desert Hijinks is their first public venture since relocating to the area.

The Old Stone will open its doors both nights at 8:30pm. Wine, beer, and snacks will be available at the Altar Café. The Sisters reiterate that High Desert Hijinks is intended for mature audiences. www.oldstonebend.com

BEAT Children’s Theatre Invites You to Imagine

W

here does your imagination take you? Can you pretend away a bad day? Do you travel to distant lands and have exotic adventures? Has a truly magical story ever changed your life? BEAT Children’s Theatre explores all of these questions with their new production of The Little Princess, based on the classic, beloved tale by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

A cast of 29 creative and courageous young performers tackle the wide range of characters as they tell the story of Sara Crewe and the extraordinary change in her fortunes. From a happy, wealthy upbringing in India, to a cold and difficult English boarding school, to poverty and hard labor, Sara Crewe’s story allows us to examine what truly matters in our lives, and how a deep and colorful imagination can actually alter the world around us. Sara is a gifted storyteller, and her tales allow her friends to recognize strengths and emotions they had never known they had before.

At BEAT young actors are challenged to develop complex and interesting characters — to rise to the task of making a classic story relevant to a modern audience. One of the story’s central characters, Ram Dass, an Indian Lascar, tells the audience that Sara’s imagination will push away their worries, even if only for a little while...and the cast of The Little Princess does just that. With skill and talent well beyond their ages, the actors draw you into the lives of their characters and take their audience on a magical journey.

Designed to contrast the delights of imagination with the often dark and dismal reality, the story of The Little Princess has brought hope to readers for generations. BEAT invites you to come enjoy this adventure of contrasts, of heart, of friendship, of magic.

The Tower’s Follies Double Fundraising

n 2012, the Tower Theatre Foundation launched a new major fundraiser, the Bend Follies. Over the past four years, Bend Follies has been honoring the Bend community through satire, comedy and songs, and raising money to support the programs and mission of the nonprofit Tower Theatre Foundation.

"In fact, that is what it’s all about,” comments Sally Russell, Bend City Council mayor pro tem and veteran Follies participant. “We spend the evening poking fun at everything Bend, laughing together, and raising money for a cornerstone in our community: The Tower Theatre.”

Thanks to the participation of local civic, political and business leaders, the Central Oregon community and the Tower staff and board, Bend Follies fundraising revenue has doubled from $19,000 in 2012, to $40,000 in 2016.

Annual fundraising efforts at the Follies begin with ticket sales, and continue throughout the silent and live auctions and now infamous LipSync battle between City Council, City Commissioners and Chambers of Commerce.

Local Musical Production Companies Announce Collaboration

S

hore Things Productions Theatrical (A Chorus Line, Les Misérables) and Thoroughly Modern Productions (SHREK: The Musical, The Last 5 Years, Peter Pan, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast) announced a partnership with the Tower Theatre Foundation to bring the best in musical theatre to the stage of the Tower beginning in June 2017.

Presented under the banner of Broadway in Concert, these joint productions will be staged in a unique fashion with the performers and orchestra sharing the stage.

The first in a planned series of annual co-productions will be the Pulitzer Prize/ TONY Award winning Frank Loesser musical, Guys and Dolls that will be staged at the Tower from June 2-4, 2017.

Based on Damon Runyon’s colorful New York gangsters and gamblers of the 1920s and 1930s including Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson, the show features such popular songs as Luck Be A Lady, A Bushel and a Peck and the rousing showstopper Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat.

Guys and Dolls will be produced by Shore Thing Productions with the creative vision overseen by Thoroughly Modern Productions’ team including direction by David DaCosta, music/vocal direction

by Scott Michaelsen and choreography by Michelle Mejaski of Gotta Dance Studio in Bend. Central Oregon Symphony Maestro Michael Gesme will conduct the show’s 17 piece orchestra.

Future Broadway in Concert musical productions will include Evita with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice, Meredith Willson’s The Music Man and five-time TONY winner including the award for Best Musical, Titanic.

SUNRIVER STARS PREVIEW 2016-17 SEASON

T

he Sunriver Stars 2016-17 season brings with it a phenomenal cast of directing talent. Each director has hand selected their show to provide a fiercely entertaining season of live theatre.

Cheri Redgrave will direct the season opener Give My Regards To Broadway; a musical that features the sparkling show tunes of George M. Cohen. Dick Foster is opening a Broadway show but is having problems with both money and his leading lady. Enter Mary Collins, an aspiring actress from New Rochelle, plus ’Legs’ Ruby, a Damon Runyon-type bookie who is on the run from the mob. Just as all appears lost, a financial ’angel’ appears with the money to do the show and Mary gets her big chance at stardom. Give My Regards To Broadway will be the first show produced by The Stars to feature a live band. The show will be at SHARC September 30-October 2.

The second production of the season will be a delightful reader’s theatre directed by Stars Veteran Susan Evans Inman. The show is titled Winter Wishes and will feature three plays that embody the magic of the holiday spirit. Winter Wishes will offer scintillating roles for ten males and ten females. Auditions will be held October 11 and the show will (tentatively) be December 2-4.

Starting the new year off with a bang is funnygirl Renee’ Nicole Owens as she holds auditions for Nana’s Got A Secret. This play is a familyfriendly farce that will leave you in stitches. Think ‘door-slamming-I-love-lucy’ style whackiness.

The rights to this show are still pending and so the official title of this show is yet to be released.

All we can say is that this show stars one sassy grandma. Roles for five females, three males and one male or female. Auditions will be held January 5, 2017 and show will run (tentatively) February

24-26, 2017.

The venerable Sandy Silver joins The Stars to teach an acting workshop March 4, 2017. The workshop will be free for participants and is open to anyone who would like to attend. The following week auditions will be held for a classic Neil Simon play to be directed by Silver. The play is set in the 1960s and stars a middle-aged fish salesmen’s three failed attempts at an extramarital affair. A voluptuous married woman, madcap hippie and priggish friend make for a hilarious comedy romp. Roles for one male and three females. Auditions will be held March 10, 2017.

Show will run (tentatively) April 14-16, 2017.

Fun, funny, reverent and bemusing, this is one season you won’t want to miss. Stay tuned as more details will be released about upcoming auditions and workshops.

Annual Art in the High Desert Premier Fine Art Show

by TORI YOUNGBAUER AE Feature Writer

O

ne of Central Oregon’s highly regarded summer traditions returns for its ninth year and welcomes a more diverse group of artists than ever before. The Art in the High Desert (AHD) is currently ranked as one of the top 25 art shows in the nation by Art Fair Sourcebook. Bend’s Old Mill District becomes filled with nationally acclaimed, professional artists each August who have the opportunity to not only sell their artwork, but to speak with the public about the work they create.

“We are interested in who each artist is,” explains AHD Founder Dave Fox. “We want to know

16

July 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

their inspirations and why they do what they do. Conversation is so valuable and having the opportunity for the public to interact with the artists is a great way for everyone to learn and grow.”

The overall goal of AHD has been closely related to reducing this barrier between the public and presenting artists and creating an intimate show space for all.

Sculpture by Danae Bennett Miller

This year, there are plenty of new and exciting features at AHD including 58 entirely new artists that have not presented in the past. There will be discussion opportunities led by Oregon Public

COVER ARTIST Broadcasting’s Katrina Sarson, as well as opportunities to win, buy and give Art Bucks, which can be used to purchase artwork from any of the 110 artists showing their work. “People get very involved in the presentations and love being able to ask artists questions,” says Fox. “Creative work is essential to quality living. Being able to hear about an artist’s creative integrity and their unique solutions to situations is something you can’t find at many curated art shows.”

As in the past, AHD offers artists who specialize in avariety of art categories including 2-D mixed media, metal work, painting, 3-D mixed media, photography, sculpture, ceramics, print making, digital art, drawing, wearables, glass, wood and jewelry.

Truly there is something for everyone at the event.

Sculpture by Larry Fox

Art in the High Desert wouldn’t be possible without the countless volunteers who give their time before, during and after the event, as well as the jury who selects the artists showing this year. “It is a very special thing,” Fox explains. “The jury not only sorts through hundreds of applications, but the process is entirely blind and therefore unbiased. The artists who apply have the opportunity to get constructive feedback, which is unlike any other art show they may apply for. We are so grateful for the jury’s hard work.”

Art in the High Desert will be buzzing with artists who show original thought and intent, go beyond the norm and consistency of style and who are not only experts in their craft, but push themselves beyond the usual or expected.

Those interested in volunteering for AHD can visit www. artinthehighdesert.com for more information

Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Ave. Beyond The Seen, non-traditional photographs by Maria Bay, Paula Bullwinkel and Jill Rosell.

Bay’s photographs reveal her passion in creating new perspectives. She seeks to bend reality sufficiently to transport viewers into a different dimension where strong and independent women possess the determination to conquer any obstacle, including gravity.

Her unique perspective and skill earned her a Best Emergent Photographer award from jurors Jessie Wender, senior editor, National Geographic Magazine and Lizz Lapp, curator and content manager at Yahoo. From Arequipa, Peru, Bay has a passion for travel. At 15, she travelled to England and, fascinated with the culture and people, she learned to speak English fluently. Later the artist lived and worked in Brazil, China, Ukraine as well as Arizona, Texas, Massachusetts, and now resides in Bend.

Bullwinkel shows photos from the book, Beatrix and Hestia, a surreal photographic narrative on display at First Friday. Presented as an odyssey, photographs lead the reader through a unique experience of the traditional theme of a sisters’ bond. Though not text driven, the words help push the photographic tale along.

The artist photographed her teenage daughters, Violet and Esmé Singer, over two years in Bend, Portland, Yachats and Paulina Lake for the book.

These talented young women, both winners of scholastic awards for creative writing in the Northwest, wrote the text.

Bullwinkel, formerly a professional New York City photographer, worked for Andy Warhol photographing such icons as Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Kate Moss. Later she worked in New York City and London with Vogue, Interview, GQ and others.

Rosell, native of New Zealand, has traveled the world and settled in Bend in 2000. Her discovery of her passion and love for photography stemmed from raising and capturing her small children and photos from daily activities.

In 2010, her devotion to photography resulted in her Facebook page – I LOVE BEND, OR. Posting images of the people and places of Bend on Facebook, the artist offers her affection for Bend to over 13,000 people nationally and internationally. She has posted over 3,000 images.

Growing up in Salem, Oregon, the Frederick household was always full of various animals, so it was entirely natural for Rod to combine his interests in art and animals into a career as a wildlife artist.

"People tell me they like the natural colors and mood I create in my work," Rod Frederick says. "They say it's very realistic and that's what I'm looking for.” First Friday Art Walk featuring musical guest, local artist Zander Reese.

Her designs are bold, fun and always very wearable. They fit the Central Oregon lifestyle, are made for each individual personally, and are always one-of-a-kind.

Bandy is also an abstract painter who is working on a new series called The Continuum.

It speaks to life slowly evolving through time, nature, birth and death, but also how we try to box it up in a neat little package, containing it, veiling truths and forgetting the lessons of the wise ones before us. The subject matter and the physical process of working with paints speaks to this idea of the continuum as Bandy works both transparently and opaquely, adding layers and scraping away, creating line and texture and revealing hidden messages and truths. Open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 11:30am-5pm, First Fridays, and by appointment at other times.

Lubbesmeyer Studio & Gallery Old Mill District, 541-330-0840, www.lubbesmeyer.com The Lubbesmeyer twins offer a range of work created in fiber and paint.

Baird and Jacobsen will be conducting a Bend Plein Air Workshop June 29–July 1. Contact Mockingbird Gallery at 541-388-2107 for more details.

Baird is a representational painter devoted to the traditions of the late 19th century artists who looked to the human figure and to the natural landscape for inspiration regarding light, color and design. He works directly from life to capture the qualities and nuances of natural light and color harmony.

Jacobsen’s paintings evoke a sense of serenity and the feeling of wonder he has for nature. He is a plein-air painter as well as an accomplished painter of still lifes. His paintings have a distinctive style, and his luscious surface textures are punctuated by gemlike spots of color.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave, 541-382-8436 The Oxford Hotel celebrates First Friday with Philip Gordon Newman’s figurative ceramic sculpture. The artist will be present at the champagne opening from 5:30–7pm.

The artist’s figurative ceramic sculpture incorporates seemingly ancient facial imagery. He credits his attraction to archaic artifacts, expressed in his sculpture by the stylized hair, crowns and facial adornments. He notes that his work with the figure also encourages his reflection on the mysteries of the human psyche and its evolution.

On a more playful side are his boxes with animal themes such as the Old World Circus Box, complete with crouching tiger adornment on the lid. Another delicately formed box with difficult extruded curling leaf-like designs is The Carnival Lion whose body structure follows a similar pattern. The lobby exhibition is open during all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, coordinates the Oxford Hotel exhibition schedule. Contact Turner at billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Pave Jewelry 101 NW Minnesota Ave SageBrushers artists, Jack Bridges, Sherri Crandell and Sandy Carron.

Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com Featuring three local artists. Jacqueline Newbold is known for her colorfilled paintings and sparkling jewelry designs. She enjoys finding inspiration

for her color choices from nature’s beauty. Jacqueline teaches watercolor painting in her Tumalo studio as well as nationally and internationally. Her painting Looking Up was just accepted into 18th volume of SPLASH, a book showcasing today’s most accomplished watercolor artists.

Eleanor Murphey has been a professional potter for 40 years. Her work is functional stoneware pottery, reminiscent of the early 20th century pottery. Her techniques and designs are more contemporary than that of the arts and crafts period yet still holding to the philosophy of that time, the idea of utilitarian objects being beautiful as well as functional.

Linda Swindle’s paintings reflect the humor and beauty she sees in life. Life on a working ranch allows her to relate to animals on a more personal level and her subjects sometime take on a whimsical and humorous attitude. Her subject matter varies but she attempts to tell a story with her work by leaving some interpretation to the viewer. Linda’s goal is to involve the viewer on an emotional level.

Sage Custom Framing and Gallery 834 NW Brooks Street, 541-382-5884, www.sageframing-gallery.com All I Want to Do presents original prints by Adell Shetterly. Shetterly’s exploratory spirit draws on encounters with nature and everyday life. The integration of organic and inanimate marks energizes her hand-pulled prints which express her innovative artistic style. Insight into Shetterly’s working processes and printmaking techniques include investigations in relief print, monotype, monoprint and mixed media giving the viewer a glimpse into the present technical procedures and design possibilities that underpin the celebration of printmaking.

“When truly engaged in art-making, time stands still. Lost in creativity and exploration, the artistic vision evolves...moving forward or backward...and perhaps it begins anew with a spark of innovation. Motivated to be present in this state of discovery, I savor the journey traveled in the creation of art.”

Townshend’s Bend Teahouse 835 NW Bond St., 541-312-2001, Carissa@Townshendstea.com Local artist Megan Clark’s fantasy illustrations highlight July’s exhibition. Clark exhibition MerMeg showcases drawings of sea creatures, mermaids and imaginative compositions. With an interest in drawing from an early age and with an eye on the art industry Clark aspires to one day have a career doing what she loves—drawing and bringing beauty and smiles to those who view her work.

Tumalo Art Company, Old Mill District, www.tumaloartco.com, 541-385-9144 Digital media artist Dorothy Freudenberg presents Forests and Trees: Mystery and Metaphor. Dorothy blends photographic images in digital media, creating many layers to create the evocative landscapes of imagination.

“The necessity of our trees and forests on our land and in our collective mythology cannot be underestimated. Never more than now we need to value our relationship to our surroundings and treasure the importance of trees in anchoring our physical world as well as their place in our spiritual development and appreciation.”

Spontaneous Watercolors of Linda Swindle

L

inda Swindle was an art education major and has maintained the desire to learn throughout her life. She has been exposed to a variety of mediums and is presently involved with silk painting creating beautiful designs in her mixed fiber fabric arts.

She is an avid watercolor painter and loves the transparency, fluid movement, unexpected surprises and spontaneity the medium offers. Linda often chooses animals for subject matter with lots of inspiration coming from her life on the ranch. Her creatures can often be whimsical or more realistic depending on her mood. Bold color is a mainstay for her work and she can also be found painting the local scenery whether that be at home or wherever she happens to be traveling.

“The reason I paint is to try and portray the beauty and humor I see in life. Sometimes that means giving a cow a silly expression or painting horses with bold color. The ultimate goal is to create a piece that will cause an emotional connection for the viewer. When one of my paintings goes to the home of a collector, it warms my heart and I feel that a small part of myself has impacted the world of that buyer in a positive way.”

Most recently, Swindle is using canvas rather than paper for her beautiful and often whimsical works. This adds a new dimension to watercolor which once completed, is finished with an archival varnish or wax medium to preserve the piece.

Linda is a lifelong instructor and presently teaches classes at her studio in Powell Butte. She teaches at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in Lincoln City, Pacific Northwest Art School in Whidbey Island, Art Untraveled in Phoenix, Arizona and other locations.

Swindle is one of the featured artists for July at the Red Chair Gallery and is a full time member exhibiting year round. www.LSwatercolor.com, Jlranch@yahoo.com

Nancy Hoyt is an Oregon native and graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in fine and applied arts. Her emphasis is jewelry and metalsmithing which has allowed her to create beautiful jewelry for over four decades. Some of the processes Hoyt employs include lost wax casting and hand fabrication techniques.

From custom wedding rings to fun and whimsical everyday jewelry, her work will delight every level of buyer. Materials include silver, yellow, white and rose gold and a variety of precious and semi precious stones. Each piece is meant to be worn and often is touched with a bit of whims​y.

Both Lindblom and Hoyt’s work can be seen at the Red Chair Gallery year round.

or one day only, the public can peruse hundreds of original hand-pulled prints at A6’s first annual Fine Art Print Fair on Saturday, July 16 from 10am6pm. Staged inside the Box Factory’s expansive breezeway, the Print Fair will feature prints of all sizes, kinds and prices.

A6 artist members will have scores of prints in the fair’s inventory, along with works from A6’s institutional collection and prints by local and national artists. Print collectors will find highly collectible works such as one-of-a-kind monotypes by Oregon artist Rick Bartow or vintage photogravure prints by the celebrated Seattle photographer Edward Curtis.

But this event is not just for collectors, explains A6’s Executive Director Dawn Boone. “If you want a unique work of art to hang in your home or workspace, there is something

here for everyone. Prints are a great option for people who want something better than ‘box store art.’ Original prints tend to be more affordable than paintings, are simpler to frame and look stunning in both traditional and modern homes.”

Morning shoppers can enjoy free coffee courtesy of Strictly Organic.

Proceeds from Print Fair support the participating artists as well as A6’s exhibits and arts education programs.

A6 (Atelier 6000) is a nonprofit studio and gallery in Bend centered on printmaking and book arts.

Don’t worry, just take a short drive to Sunriver and listen to world-renowned pianist William Wolfram kick off the 39th edition of the Sunriver Music Festival on Sunday, August 7.

Highly sought after for his breathtaking performances of the music of Beethoven, William Wolfram has appeared with all of these orchestras and numerous others around the world. Winner of the silver medal at both the William Kapell and the Naumburg International Piano Competitions and the bronze medalist at the prestigious Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow, he is bringing his considerable talent to Central Oregon for two special performances.

As educator and teacher, Wolfram is a long-standing member of the piano faculty of the Eastern Music Festival in North Carolina and a regularly featured guest at the Colorado College Music Festival in Colorado Springs.

He teaches a performance class at the acclaimed Manhattan School of Music.

CLASSICAL CONCERT I Sunday, August 7, 7:30pm, Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall.

Pianist Wolfram will lead off this year’s Festival series with a performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The world-class Sunriver Festival Orchestra will perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 Pastorale and Dvorak’s In Nature’s Realm.

SUNRIVER RESORT LODGE BETTY GRAY GALLERY Featuring High Desert Art League

T

Sky Over Bend by Cindy Briggs

The Beet Goes On by Barbara Slater

Lake Maud Grasses by Patricia (Pat) Clark

28

July 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

he Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents the High Desert Art League (HDAL) exhibition entitled Art in a Series continuing through September 5. The artists will be present at a public reception on Saturday, July 9 from 4:30–6pm.

Art in a Series unites the 12 members of the League in the show of varied imagery and mediums. Professional artist members include Cindy Briggs, JM Broderick, Helen Brown, Patricia (Pat) Clark, MaryLea Harris, David Kinker, Lisa and Lori Lubbesmeyer, Jacqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller.

Briggs, inspired by western skyscapes, exhibits three water-media paintings. She creates her dramatic skies using brushwork and her fingers to create energy and movement, lost and found edges, bright light and colorful shadow shapes. A member of the American Watercolor and the National Watercolor Society, she has won numerous national awards.

Clark presents ink drawings of water storage, usage, water tables and water flows depicting environmental concerns. After nearly 40 years as a full professor at the University of Southern California and elsewhere, she moved to Bend and founded Atelier 6000 (A6), a printmaking workshop. Her life of service to education and the arts earned her the recognition of an I Am Oregon award.

Fine artist, muralist and teacher, Kinker explores his wilderness experience in vivid acrylic paintings. Inspired by his deep connection to nature and water from 25 years as a naturalist and river guide on different rivers, the artist shows paintings of the Grand Canyon as seen from the Colorado River.

His public murals appear at Deschutes Brewery, Tower Theatre, St. Charles Medical Center and other locations.

Harris shows three acrylic paintings of abstracted nature. She creates bright backgrounds by layering colorful acrylics; then, to create texture and depth, scrapes the painted surface with unwanted, disposable plastic gift cards. While useful tools, the plastic cards also symbolize our consumerdriven society polluted with man-made waste. From this ironic use of waste comes her light-filled and whimsical imagery, emphasizing the beauty of “nature in its still state.”

Twin artists, Lisa and Lori Lubbesmeyer, turn their attention to cityscapes.

Known internationally for their expressionistic compositions of fiber applique with overstitching, depicting both nature and the city, the sisters now turn to painting. Through the use of acrylic and graphite, the artists draw and paint on canvas, blurring the lines and angles of the man-made landscape to represent the dynamism of urban dwelling.

Rhoades works with encaustic. A challenging medium, the Greek word encaustic means, “to burn in,” and combines pure beeswax, resin and pigment fused with heat. The method originated thousands of years ago for painting on hulls of ships, as well as for Fayum funeral masks used in Egyptian burial tombs now in collections of the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Louvre.

Billye Turner, art consultant, organizes the art exhibits for Sunriver Resort, open all hours to the public. For information, contact Turner at billyeturner@bendnet.com

Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Evokes Emotion in Artwork

SUNRIVER

(L to R) Gourd sculpture by Susan Harkness-Williams, jewelry by Stella Rose Powell, photo by Richard Frederick and painting by Laurajo Sherman

A

ll artists strive to evoke emotion in those who view their art. This July the featured artists at the Sunriver Artists' Gallery have achieved that goal. It doesn’t matter that the art media utilized by these artists range from jewelry and gourd art to photography and pastel paintings, the viewer can’t help but feel the emotion and admire the beauty.

Stop by the gallery and enjoy these special pieces of art. If your calendar allow be sure to attend the monthly gallery event Second Saturday. This celebration will be held on Saturday July 9 from 4-7pm. You can enjoy food, wine and beer while chatting with the artists about their work.

Reaching for new creative horizons keeps artist, Susan Harkness-Williams, in a constant state of curiosity in her fine gourd art sculptures. As a student of mixed media, she will draw from an illustrator’s perspective, a contemporary naturescape, or a nod to her love of archaeology.

In the Halls of the Ancients the art collector will find all these at once. Ancients is one of her larger sitting pieces and is suspended by hand forged steel. A second piece was inspired by a collector of her work. Elk Spirit Ceremonial Shield features a relief carved elk totem and employs oil paint, inlayed beaded rosettes and turquoise. The elk totem, symbolizing bravery and strength, is set upon a background of a stylized rising sun relief representing hope and renewal.

Metal smith and jewelry designer, Stella Rose Powell, creates hand wrought art jewelry using traditional metal smith tools such as a hammer and anvil.

Each piece is unique to the characteristics of the metal, the receptiveness of the hammer and the intimate relationship she has with nature. The artist uses the method of metal deformation to develop her own fold form elements.

29 July 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

Petals and leaves are hammered from copper, sterling silver and gold bi-metal sheet and forged into sensuous curves, ruffles and folds. Her new collection of jewelry is called Beyond the Garden.

Award winning pastel artist, Laurajo Sherman, utilizes her chosen medium to capture the light and energy of nature in each of her museum worthy pieces. Sherman’s combination of brilliant saturated color and the energy and movement of her actual painting strokes evokes an immediate viewer reaction.

Her pieces Daisy Power and Red Poppies are great examples of her emotive style. Most recently, the artist was awarded a Richardson Award and achieved Signature status from the Pastel Society of America.

Photographer Richard Frederick captures the emotion of those who serve.

Using his 4 x 5 field camera, he captured a black and white image located in the harsh environment of southern Utah. The image, titled Those Who Served, is of the final resting place of a single family who in one day were massacred by local tribal Indians. The family had been dispatched by the Mormon Church to establish a new community. Another piece, TAPS...Day is Done, is an archival color photograph taken at Lake Slocum in British Columbia.

Taken just after sundown, the photo captures the quiet and tranquility of the deserted location. A fitting memorial to those who served, you can almost hear the echo of the trumpet playing Taps.

isters Outdoor Quilt Show is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate and inspire the public about the art of quilting and to enhance the cultural and economic vitality of the schools and community of Sisters and Central Oregon. They accomplish this through a series of annual events, most notably the largest outdoor Quilt Show in the world held on the second Saturday of July. The 41st annual event will be July 9-10. www.sistersoutdoorquiltshow.org.

Quiltmaker Leotie Richards will host her new solo art quilt exhibit, American Folk Heroes, premiering at the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show.

Richards became enamored with textiles while working as an art director for a major retail chain. After 20 years of designing graphics and textiles for retail stores, she retired to Sisters and found that her graphic design skills could be readily applied to art quilting. Studying intently for three years in various workshops with Jean Wells, Sue Benner and Rosalie Dace, she became adroit with various fabrication techniques and began to experience a high degree of joy in her creative process with textiles.

In 2014, she conceived and began a series of portraits that feature American Folk Heroes, The first four portraits were featured along with retrospective work in solo shows at the QuiltWorks in Bend in July 2015, and the Sisters Library in November 2015. She is continuing development of this series and is scheduled to present 12 of these works in a special exhibit at The Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and at the NW Quilt Expo in Portland, September 22-24.

Richards greatly enjoys portraiture but also produces abstract work as part of the small quilt group called Sundance. Her frame-mounted abstract works were shown at QuiltWorks in Bend in December and January and will be featured in another Sundance group show at Sotheby's in downtown Bend in September.

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Endowment Fund Reaches First Year Goal

T

he Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS), a nonprofit organization that produces world’s largest outdoor quilt show, has successfully reached its first-year Endowment campaign goal to raise $40,000. The Endowment Fund, which was announced by founder Jean Wells Keenan in July 2015 at the 40th Anniversary Celebration, achieved this goal within ten months of launching the campaign.

“The SOQS Endowment Fund was established to support the future growth of our nonprofit organization by ensuring eventual sustainability through meeting financial goals and covering operating costs, noted Wells Keenan. “This enables SOQS to bring its mission to life for years to come.”

Since July 2015, more than 37 donors have contributed to the Endowment Fund. “The gift, which enabled us to reach our first-year, goal arrived in a surprising and most creative way,” said Jeanette Pilak, SOQS executive director.

“Staff and volunteers were working when Cosi, the office terrier who has designated herself official building greeter, went to investigate new arrivals,” Pilak continued. “When we called the dog to come back in the office, there was an envelope clipped to her collar. It was a $2,500 check made out to the SOQS Endowment Fund along with a note that read, “In appreciation for the 40 years of creativity and commerce you have brought to our City. May the Endowment Fund grow to preserve this inspired and inspiring tradition.” The donor requested anonymity.

Reaching the first-year goal is a major achievement, and work will continue to grow the fund to its final goal of $400,000.

NEWBERRY EVENT Music & Arts Festival

S

et for July 21–24 Central Oregon’s Fourth Annual Newberry Event Music & Arts FestivalFundraiser offers a jaw-dropping variety of renowned musicians from outside Oregon. The theme of this outdoor festival is Variety, with two stages and over 25 bands. The event is an approved charitable fundraiser benefiting the Oregon Chapter National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Enjoy Lil’ Smokies, from Montana, winner of the Telluride, Colorado bluegrass competition. With roots in the thick buttery mud of traditional bluegrass, this band has blossomed into a leading player in the progressive acoustic sphere, creating a new melody-driven sound of their own.

From Los Angeles, California, Andy Frasco and The Un is feel-good music, whose performances have been described as a barefoot boisterous blend of R&B-flavored harmonic funk and jazz, topped with boundless energy, fueled by reckless abandonment and a disregard for rules, with witty lyrics to back it up.

Other socially conscious music you won’t want to miss is Canadian performing artist, Zahira, an internationally known musician who lights up any stage. Her electronic Soul/Pop/Reggae compositions are infused with lyrics of truth and positivity inspiring people to be strong amongst troubling times in the world today.

Satsang from Red Lodge, Montana performs their unique blend of Reggae, Folk and Hip-Hop, with something for every musical palate. Their lyrics are rooted in change, growth and awareness, used as a mission statement for reflection and activation. The rhythms put forth by this band keep everyone on their feet.

Mojo Green from Reno, Nevada brings heavy horn funk and soul music. Local band Ubuntu, a grooveheavy afro-roots rhythm band adds fun dance party music to the festival. Back for another year is Melody Guy, Nashville singer-songwriter, with her Rock/ Country/Americana/R&B. Jeff Dodd returns from Salt Lake City, Utah with his beloved piccolo fretless bass. He’ll start the mornings with mellow jazz tones.

Deschutes Brewery and Cascade Lakes Spirits will host the bars. A variety of food vendors provide yummy meals, including breakfasts from 9am to 11am for hungry attendees and campers. Camping is free with a four-day ticket and RV sites are available.

Located between Sunriver and La Pine, Diamondstone’s lawns, shady aspens and pines create an unforgettable venue in South Deschutes County for this family friendly experience (kids under ten free). Come see many vendor booths of handmade crafts and fine art from talented sculptors, photographers and painters like Mark Goheen, Dori Kite, Paul Thomson and others who have donated beautiful creations to the silent auction to raise funds for the cause. www.newberryevent.com

Redmond Celebrates Chucks in Public Places

marmots while embracing and supporting contemporary local art.

“We hope to further highlight the uniqueness of our community with an accessible art installation,” states Heather Richards, community development director for the City of Redmond. “This traffic-building event provides a new platform of support and recognition for local artists and will bring public awareness to our art program.”

Chucks in Public Places is four years in the making. Redmond’s Committee for Art in Public Places

(RCAPP) identified a rock chuck sculpture installation four years ago to celebrate Redmond’s own indigenous yellow bellied marmot.

However, the costs of pursuing a fiberglass sculpture program like other cities, such as Seattle and Denver, proved cost prohibitive. So, in true Redmond fashion, Redmond volunteers stepped up with their own skills and innovations to produce 20 polystyrene sculptures with very little costs.

Brown says the world has enough hard edges and, “I have always felt that fiber art softens that impact.

The fabric substrate lends itself to drawing, painting, printing and embellishing, making it such a versatile medium; it can be a wearable piece of art as well as a wall hanging or vessel.”

Goodson layers sheer dyed silks and stitching to create texture and depth.

Grant is a fiber artist creating wall art using commercial and recycled fabrics and using quilting and surface design techniques.

Jaszkowski is a textile artist who creates with needle and thread, including artistic quilt designs, as part of her creative repertoire with wall hangings out of a variety of textiles or a combination of textiles and mixed media, usually using the raw edge appliqué method and freemotion quilting.

Lee Ann Womack from Nashville to the Tower

S

unday, July 10 at 8pm, one of country music’s most powerful female vocalists makes her debut in Bend!

The Tower Theatre Foundation presents an evening with Lee Ann Womack, the award-winning singer-songwriter behind hits I Hope You Dance and Mendocino County Line featuring Willie Nelson. Her new album, The Way I’m Livin’, received multiple Grammy nominations, in addition to five-stars from USA Today, and Rolling Stone wrote, "it feels like something Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings would have crafted back in the seventies.”

“This is a show for people who truly love music and love the way great players can explore a song right before your eyes,” says Lee Ann. “Every night, to me, is a miracle, and I love to get to be a part of it and watch these songs unfold.”

This spring, Lee Ann and her band took the excitement to Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio, California and shared the stage with Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton and John Fogerty. www.towertheatre.org 541-317-0700

Radioactive Art with Linda Spring on the Air

by MADELYNN BOWERS AE Feature Writer

F

or the past 19 years, Linda Spring has been a resident of the Central Oregon area and heavily involved within the arts community of Bend for 15 of those years. Spring graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelors in fine and applied arts and cultural services. She has since served on a multitude of boards and organizations including a term as president of the Arts Council of Pendleton, chair of the Lane Regional Arts Council and as a Culture and arts writer for a local newspaper.

Five years ago, Spring opened Underground Spring, an Art to Wear company with a high emphasis on wearable, fine art pieces. The artist draws from an extensive background in fiber and installation art and currently utilizes many fabrics in constructing her pieces. Spring enjoys combining “gnarly materials” with silk because she sees the “juxtaposition of a found object on something so ethereal” as inspiring.

To create her clothing, Spring often uses her environment, and the Central Oregon scenery, as a muse. When crafting a new piece, the artist seeks out distinctive and varied textures, and appreciates incorporating found objects into her works as a way of giving them a second chance in life. On these particular items, Spring states, “things that are off center attract me.”

Pieces from Spring’s Underground Spring line can be found in Strictly Organic Coffee Co., Desperado Boutique and Lotus Moon Boutique.

In 2013, Spring was asked to visit galleries on the First Friday of each month, speak with exhibiting artists and describe what she saw on local radio station KPOV. This talk show has since morphed into a weekly interview series known as Radioactive Art, Part of The Point, (a show focused on local art, stories, culture and happenings).

Since the conception of Radioactive Art, Spring estimates that she has conducted approximately 150 interviews with visual artists. When selecting

Harmony4Women Calls for Singers

guests for her show, Spring aims to find “someone who is doing something that is very unique or interesting” or an artist who’s pieces are currently being featured in an exhibit.

Spring claims to enjoy the challenge that comes with “the task of describing something visual” because the voices of visual artists are so rarely heard.

The show is always live, as Spring hopes to be as real as possible, and the host relishes the abundance of prospects to be interrogated, stating, “[there is] so much creative talent in our region that I have an unending supply of visual artists to tap into.”

Among guests of The Point, Spring described the works of three artists who have been memorable in their individuality. The show has highlighted David Kinker, a plein air artist who travels along rivers via raft, occasionally stopping, unpacking his supplies, and painting the scene laid out before him.

Another interviewee, David Ember, helped compile a publication entitled, America’s National Parks: A Pop-Up Book, and now works to design adult coloring books. And the third artist was Lynn Roth, a recent feature, and someone Spring describes as “gifted in so many areas” for her painting, work with clay, jewelry building and print making. Roth is currently exhibiting in Sisters.

Radioactive Art can be heard every other Thursday on KPOV, station 88.9FM. www.undergroundspringclothing.com/home.html

armony4Women announces an early registration for experienced and inexperienced singers who want to learn acappella harmony and participate in the 2016 Harmony4Women benefit concert.

The schedule begins August 25 with the meet and greet Singers’ Kickoff Party at the home of Linda Gardner.

Educational rehearsals begin September 15 from 5:45-8pm and continue every Thursday until November 17 at the Bend Senior Center. This year’s program, Tis the Season, will be performed twice on November 19 at Summit High School.

Begun in 2009, Harmony4Women is a non-auditioned women’s community chorus that performs once a year to benefit four non-profit organizations, Grandma’s House of Central Oregon, Soroptimist International of Bend, American Association of University Women — Bend Branch and Bella Acappella Harmony Chorus. These organizations serve and educate local women and children. Throughout the year, these organizations collaborate to develop this educational benefit program and the net proceeds from the show that are divided equally between them.

Under the direction of Connie Norman, Harmony4Women is a fun, educational experience with well-developed rehearsals that include the techniques of four — part acappella harmony, vocal production, performance expression and stage presence. Award-winning Bella Acappella Harmony mentors the new singers. Music and part-specific learning CDs are provided to facilitate the learning process. Because the rehearsals are so engaging it is not unusual to have girls as young as ten in the chorus or families of three generations singing together for the experience.

To register,contact Nancy Ueland at nueland@bendcable.com 541-383-3142. The fee of $50 includes all educational materials

Twisting & Turning with Aerial Arts

by KRYSTAL MARIE COLLINS, AE Feature Writer

K

endall Knowles, aerialist, head instructor and owner of Central Oregon Aerial Arts (COAA) is quick to point out, “For most of its history, aerial arts has been performance based. There weren’t schools and classes like there are now.”

In aerial, performers climb and twist through long pieces of fabric, creating friction by wrapping and unwrapping their limbs and using the force of their bodyweight for suspension, all while elegantly posing. At the COAA studio, Get a Move On, Knowles offers beginning, intermediate and advanced level instruction, as well as adult and youth classes. COAA maintains a troupe, Aura, which requires audition.

Knowles and Jessica Orf, aerialist and instructor for COAA says, “You’ll execute cool moves in the first lesson, even if you have never been able to do a pull up in your life.” They advise, “Be ready for some circus hurts, nothing major, maybe soreness or bruising.”

Though, the reward is worth it. Typically, within five minutes after a good warm up, students are in their first foot lock a few feet off the ground. In another 15 minutes, students can be practicing the half lotus and superman, all safely with a crash pad and spotters below.

Aura and the COAA have performed at the St. Charles Saints Gala at The Riverhouse, Bend Chamber of Commerce Sage Awards, Recharge Sport’s recent celebration and the Deschutes Brewery’s infamous annual Cyclocross Halloween Extravaganza. Look for upcoming performances at Bend Summer Fest, Surf and Turf at Sunriver July 17, Balloons Over Bend July 23 and the High Desert Classic July 23. Whether teaching or performing, Central Oregon Aerial Arts pride themselves on their commitment to professionalism.

They encourage venues seeking aerialists to be critical about the level of safety and experience the performers hired demonstrate and to check that proper insurance is carried. www.centraloregonaerialarts.com, centraloregonaerialarts@gmail.com

Bella Acappella Harmony 2nd Place in Regional Competition

by KRYSTAL MARIE COLLINS AE Feature Writer

B

ella Acappella, Bend’s local 29 member barbershop chorus, recently participated in a regional competition in Reno, Nevada. Competition consisted of choruses throughout most of Oregon (excluding Portland), northern California, parts of Nevada and Hawaii. Bella won a second place medal for Division A Small Chorus. Since being chartered in 2012, for the last three years, Bella has earned medals in the competition.

Contributing greatly to Bellas’ accomplishments is director Connie Norman.

“She has won medals for her directing capabilities, specializes in four-part barbershop harmony and has been teaching, coaching and formulating choruses

Wheeler County Bluegrass Festival

T

he Festival has grown from its start in 2000 and is noted for its wonderful rural atmosphere. Wheeler County, with its three incorporated cities, has the smallest population of people but some of the most gorgeous landscape in Oregon.

The Festival takes place in the pioneer town of Fossil in front of the beautiful brick courthouse, now over 100 years old. Fossil is known for its peaceful and quiet atmosphere as well as the friendly townsfolk that reside in it.

In conjunction with the Festival, there is an annual car show that takes place along Main Street. Check out cars and listen to some sweet sounding Bluegrass music.

The Festival is free. There’s lodging available from B&B’s to working dude ranches and everything in between. There’s dry camping and RV parking available at the fairgrounds and dry camping at the grade school, both about a five minute walk from the courthouse, and at nearby parks. Concessions sell a variety of food and snacks.

A unique and popular part of this Festival is the Fossil Song Contest. As in traditional song contests, only original, unpublished songs are allowed, but songs must be about some feature of the local area — the place, people, history or even imagined events.

Fossil is about a three-hour drive from Portland and two-hours from Bend.

Bring your instruments and your dancing clothes, stay a day or the whole weekend.

“Currently Bella is seeking additional singers,” Ueland explains, “particularly with high or low voices, experienced or inexperienced, ages 12 and above.

It is an independent, nonprofit music education association and one of the world’s largest singing organizations for women, boasting 23,000 members.

July 4 at 11am in Drake Park Bella will present patriotic songs like the Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful and Peace on Earth.

Bella rehearses weekly on Tuesdays at the Bend Sr. Center 1600 Reed Market Road from 5:45-9pm. Rehearsals are open for visitors.

New Perspective for July by Eileen Lock

uly begins on a good note with opportunities to do what you enjoy. The New Moon on the 4th brings people together and many things seem to simply fall into place. A small bump on the 7th needs to be seen as just that. By the next day doors are open and forward motion is happening again. Do what you have been wanting to do on the 10th and you will discover that you are supported. In order to take the next steps you need to be willing to turn a corner. Have faith and go for it.

Speak up after the 13th and let the world see who you are becoming. Action taken near the 17th will bring both change and healing. The Full Moon on the 19th could bring a decision that feels awkward. The more you trust yourself the easier it will be. Make a point to remind yourself to believe in the steps you are taking. Remember this is new and you will get more comfortable over time. Focus on yourself after the 22nd and realize you need your attention. Take a few days to simply regroup and recharge, it will be good for you.

Conversations on the 27th are about agreements, be completely honest about what you say you can do. Challenge yourself to take the high road on the 29th and the rewards will begin to show themselves very quickly. Appreciate what you hear on the 30th and express your joy over the last few days of this month. The happier you are, the better the changes will be.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock, Clairvoyant Astrologer/Spiritual Medium, 541-389-1159 www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com Listen for the song in your heart, find the melody and dance to the music.
