Can Creativity be Measured?

Coming to the

TOW ER SPAMALOT Sept. 13-21

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

O

~ Scott Adams, American cartoonist.

ne might ask this: can we measure our creativity? Can we take stock of our community’s creativity and leverage it into an economic factor?

Some creative data collectors seem to think so. A report called the Creative Vitality Index (CVI) for Oregon details the findings of research designed to establish an indicator of the health of an economy’s arts-related creative sector. Since we have been advocating for years that art and culture are directly related to the economic well-being of our community, we like this stuff.

The purpose of the research was to develop a more inclusive and robust diagnostic tool related to the arts elements of the creative economy. A related goal was to develop a credible data source that could be used for arts advocacy purposes.

In the CVI, an area’s creative economy is defined as including for-profit and nonprofit arts-related creative enterprises and the key support and service activities that sustain them.

It turns out that we have a particularly high level of creativity businesses in Central Oregon from architects, landscape architects, art directors, fine artists including painters, sculptors and illustrators, multi-media artists and animators, commercial and industrial designers, fashion designers, floral designers, graphic designers, interior designers, set and exhibit designers, art and design workers, actors, producers and directors, dancers, choreographers, music directors and composers, musicians and singers, editors, technical writers, writers and authors, photographers, advertising and promotions managers, public relations managers, agents and business managers of artists, performers and athletes, direc-

tors, educators, librarians, media and communication workers, audio and video equipment, broadcast technicians, sound engineering technicians, camera operators, television, video and motion picture, film and video editors and musical instrument repairers and tuners.

Wow, when you think about it there are a lot of creative people working and living in this region. We depend on their talents for a huge variety of jobs. We can’t quite imagine an environment without them.

Why bother collecting creative data? It can all seem rather silly to spend time and money making a list of who is deemed creative and their value to our lives. However, in identifying creative segments we are able to expand our view of human ability and achievement beyond the traditional concept of intelligence.

As an employer it can help us understand and predict employee’s creative productivity. As parents and educators we can better understand various ways in which people exhibit their creative behavior and how to determine the impact of creative instruction.

It seems, however, that the entire point of enhancing our access to creative outlets and furthering creative education is to just plain help us think better.

There is not one among us who couldn’t use a little more of that. By cultivating skills in creative thinking, innovative leadership practices and problem solving techniques we enhance our ability to imagine new ideas by learning to envision that which cannot immediately be seen.

In the words of Albert Einstein: Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.

Lisa Hoffman–McCabe in Hood River Show The 39 artists who have been selected from the application process to participate in the month long show at Columbia Arts in Hood River, September 6-29 include Bend artist, Lisa Hoffman-McCabe of Red Chair Gallery.

High Desert Museum Receives $250,000 Matching Grant Central Oregon’s High Desert Museum received some welcome funding thanks to Senate Bill 5533A which passed at the end of the legislative session. The bill awards $250,000 of lottery funds to the High Desert Museum.

According to the bill, $250,000, earmarked for economic development and administered through the Oregon Business Development Department, will be allocated to the High Desert Museum in 2015, once the Museum has raised matching funds in the same amount.

The money will be used for a capital improvement project: the renovation of one of the Museum’s most popular exhibits – the Autzen Otter Exhibit. Renovating the exhibit would increase the Museum’s already significant economic impact in Central Oregon. Currently, two thirds of the Museum’s visitors come from outside Central Oregon, accounting for over $1 million in tourist money that is then reinvested locally through salaries and operat-

M

ing costs. Of that amount, roughly half comes from outside the state of Oregon.

Redfield Exhibit at Oregon Capitol S. Randy Redfield of Sisters says that when he was nominated to exhibit work in the governor’s office, he decided to compose a series on wood panels rather than his traditional canvas approach. Working with different tools, he discovered that the surface prep could be Dawg by S. Randy Redfield part of the finished composition. The result is the underpainting became representational. They took on the shape of dogs, storm clouds or nebulas. He penciled out these images and let them float in the fields of color. You can view the exhibit through September 25 in Salem.

Cultural Trust Grants The Cultural Trust Board approved $1,618,056 in grants for fiscal year 2014 while in Newport on July 25. This represents an increase of more than $100,000 from fiscal year 2013.

Awards of $539,351 were made in each of the Trust’s three grant categories: competitive cultural development grants, cultural participation grants (to county and tribal cultural coalitions) and partner grants to the Trust’s five statewide partners.

The direct economic impact of the Cultural Development grants alone is estimated to be in excess of $14 million, according to Trust Executive Director, Christine D’Arcy.

ore than $16 million are spent annually on the arts in Central Oregon. This figure represents the results of a recent member survey of more than 30 creative organizations in the Arts & Culture Alliance (ACA).

Additionally, more than a million arts and culture experiences were generated by these organizations, ranging from participating in an art class or workshop, attending a performance, lecture or exhibition or actively engaged in the region’s creative economy.

Members report through the survey that they employ more than 160 full time-equivalent employees (not including thousands of volunteer hours and contract services). However, these results only represent a small fraction of the arts and culture organizations in Central Oregon.

Formed in May 2010, the Arts & Culture Alliance realizes the impact the arts have on Central Oregon and the economy. The ACA understands the need for collaboration and networking; their shared purpose in working together to promote the arts and supporting each other establishes a collective voice.

Central Oregon’s creative economy has an incredible impact on the health of the region; in addition to the jobs and influx of dollars spent in our cities, creative opportunities create livable communities and attract visitors and residents who want a well-rounded lifestyle: recreation and craft beers go hand in hand with live music and outdoor festivals.

The economic impact of the creative arts in Central Oregon is growing, and ACA is dedicated to work to enhance the visibility of the region’s cultural assets.

Current members include 2nd Street Theater; Art in Public Places; Art in the High Desert; Arts, Beautification & Culture Commission, Arts Central, Atelier 6000, Bella Acappella Harmony, Bend Chamber of Commerce, Bend Dance Project, BendFilm, Caldera, Cascade Arts & Entertainment, Cascade Chorale, Cascades Theatrical Co., Central Oregon Mastersingers, Central Oregon Symphony Association, COCC Barber Library Rotunda Gallery, Des Chutes Historical Museum, Deschutes Public Library, High Desert Chamber Music, High Desert Journal, Les Schwab Amphitheater, Lubbesmeyer Studio, Mockingbird Gallery, Redmond Community Concert Association, Sisters Folk Festival, Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, Terpsichorean Dance Studio, The Museum at Warm Springs, The Nature of Words and the Tower Theatre Foundation.

Membership is open to creative arts practitioners, non-profits, businesses, artists, groups and organizations that focus on the arts.

The Thriving Arts

T

he arts are thriving in Central Oregon. If our jam-packed magazine of literary, theatrical, musical and artistic events each month doesn’t reveal the fact, then you can just look to the Arts & Cultural Alliance (ACA) survey results (on the left). Of the 30+ arts and cultural organization in Central Oregon that make up the Alliance, over a million arts and culture experiences were generated just last year with over $16 million spent on the arts.

These results come on the heals of the decision to put Measure 9-94 on the ballet to Bend voters this November.

The measure would raise transient room tax rates one percent the first year and .4 percent the following year. In addition to providing additional funding for police and fire, the increase would establish a long-term funding source for the arts, at no cost to local residents.

Even though the numbers provided by the ACA are impressive, funding sources can be hard to come by for many of the smaller organizations that provide incredibly rich and diverse art and cultural opportunities to residents and visitors alike. The formation of a permanent source of funding for arts and culture organizations could increase these numbers dramatically.

Cascade Arts & Entertainment is a proud member of the ACA and strongly supports Measure 9-94. We encourage you to support this measure on the November ballot. Find out more at www. bendtaps.com (Bend Tourism, Arts & Public Safety) and www.artsandcultureco.org. Central Oregon has a thriving cultural community, and together we can attain even more.

Brief the Making of an Art Vandal

lexandra Chasin’s forthcoming novel, Brief, is about the making of an art vandal. The illustrated book is as much a microscopic look into art and cultural history as the psychology of art vandalism.

Los Angeles Review of Books says that, “Brief seeks to both indict us and exonerate our sources, re-piecing them in search of a larger truth about making and thinking, being and acting, in a world where creation paradoxically arises from destruction.”

Hyperallergic writes, “Chasin has brought together in a compelling way the craft of collage with the art of argumentation.” Alexandra Chasin holds a PhD in modern thought and literature from Stanford University and teaches in the Literary Studies Department at Lang College at The New School in New York.

The trade paperback and ebook will be released this fall; the highly innovative iPad app was released December 2012.

The Relevance of Ballet Today

by JOY VICTOR of Performing Arts International A large photograph of Ulanova radiates this presence in the coffee lounge of our new school.

This is the magic of true ballet, the heights to which it soars and then affects human hearts forever. This is the glimmer that draws little ones to its beauty, an expression of purity in a world gone mad.

This is an oasis of peace and perfection of grace that gives a weighty sense of rightness to our search for meaning and goodness in the world. This is why I love ballet. And this is why I want to keep it alive and well for those who seek it out whether young or old.

There are those who train in ballet, seeking the elusive and difficult professional career. Then there are others who dance to enjoy the thrill of this nearotherworldy art, creating forms and gestures that draw out the imagination to ageless ideals and genteel graces.

The influence even on very small children remains as a memory like a blessed island apart from the rush and press of growing up into the adult world of work and competitive achievement. You can recall moments where you saw and felt in ways that you cannot see and feel today. The effects of timeless music and creative movement in a loving atmosphere held in the memories of young children can cause a life to be guided by a higher source, an angel voice of aspiration whose whisper never fades.

Like a vein of gold rising from deep rocky places, ballet comes from the charm, the royal beginnings, of the sincere desire of kings and potentates to make the world a better place. Ballet will continue to do this as long as it is understood and guarded for the high art that it is, taught with true knowledge and respect for its origins. Combining its discipline with a contemporary outlook and appeal is the not-so-new challenge of the great professional ballet companies of the world.

Giving special motivation to thrill and enliven students in the long term is the greater thing, greater than just imparting ballet technique. Ballet being one of the means to an enriched life makes the opening of Victor School of Performing Arts very exciting for me, seeing what new adventures of inspiration may come. We aim to project our vision far beyond Oregon to countries of the world to enact a cultural exchange of students, art and friendship.

Joy Victor is the director of Victor School of Performing Arts International, a new school in Bend.

VPA opens officially September 18 with classes for all ages. Grand opening party October 12. www.victorperformingarts.com.

ot everyone cares about ballet. But there is a certain and special psyche that is drawn to its mysteries and meaning, whether as an audience member or a practicing dancer. Until a person has the chance to see the power of this dance form worthily performed, it can remain irrelevant, regarded as a quaint and fading remnant of old Europe reserved for the imaginations of little girls playing princess.

At age six I was introduced to my first class, but only remember my fascination with our drill on how to use the fire escape ladder. Later at age eight came another story. Once I experienced a lifeJoy Victor teaches her former changing performance of the great Bolshoi Ballet student Tetyana from Moscow I was marked with a life-long pasMartyanova, now sion, culminating with the thrill of being a member professional of American Ballet Theatre in New York City, dancing onstage with legendary artists such as Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova.

Ballet expresses a nobility, an aspiration of the human spirit that no other dance form seems to be able to do. The famous ballet artists from 1850 until today, who attained an almost divine level of expression from the stage, communicated a bliss and wondrous rapture that has captured the hearts of lovers of beauty and grace, and also the most unlikely of victims.

Note the surprising reaction of a hardened war correspondent Harrison Salisbury who witnessed prolonged horror of battles in World War II and then found himself sitting at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow watching the unmatched Galina Ulanova perform the ballet Giselle.

“I was a war correspondent then, knew nothing of ballet and rather turned up my nose at it. The performance in 1950 was the first during my stay in Moscow.

After seeing Ulanova that night I tried to record what I felt. I wrote: “How can I put a dream down on paper? How can I make you feel a moonbeam and touch the gossamer wing of a fairy? Where are the words that will make an angel come to life, a star glitter in your hand and a wisp of rainbow shine in your hair?

“It is the most thrilling and beautiful thing I have ever seen. Don’t expect this to make sense. I’m still at the Bolshoi last night watching the fairy princess of the whole world and all her assistant princesses float over the stage, toes twinkling like stars and bodies fluttering like humming-bird’s wings. Foolish people talk about the seven wonders of the world. THIS is the wonder of the world.” (Harrison Salisbury, 1953)

Monty Python-Athon Takes Over Tower

T

Featuring Stage Right’s Spamalot plus movies and First Friday preview

he Tower Theatre Foundation brings the Central Oregon premiere of Monty Python’s Tony-winning musical Spamalot to Bend September 13-21 as part of its Marquee Series featuring live community theatre productions sponsored by U.S. Bank and BendBroadband.

Produced by Stage Right Productions, with book and lyrics by Eric Idle, music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, Spamalot is the irreverent parody of the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, featuring a bevy of beautiful show girls, cows, killer rabbits and taunting French people. The “noholds-barred smash hit” (New Yorker) was lovingly ripped-off from the 1975 comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The Stage Right production of Spamalot features a cast of 22 local actors. In true Python fashion, several of the male actors play multiple roles including women.

Director David DaCosta has been working with the cast for months. “We’ve harnessed some unique comedic creativity while staying true to the essence of Monty Python. Our goal is to give your stomach a workout with belly laughs!”

The Tower will also screen a Python-athon of the classic comedy movies Life of Brian (September 17) and The Meaning of Life (September 18).

As an added bonus, the Tower hosts a free Spamalot Sneak Peek First Friday September 6, starting at 6pm. The cast and crew will share songs, scenes and dance numbers from the show.

Even though the play is very, very funny, there is an incredible amount of depth to the story. That comes, in part, to how real these characters develop over the course of the play. The story deals with spousal abuse, an unwed mother, vanity, problems with aging and the enduring power of teamwork.

As their lives unfold and the years pass, these women increasingly rely on one another, through advice and rau- Show opens September 20 cous repartee, to get through the challenges (men, sex, marriage, parenting, divorce) that life flings at them.

he Dixie Swim Club by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten will open CTC’s 35th season September 20. We are very excited to present a play as touching, and laugh-out-loud hilarious as this one, for our opening to this milestone season.

Five Southern women whose friendship began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kid and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives.

Juliah Rae, a veteran director and actor with CTC, is at the helm of this show. Asked what drew her to want to direct this particular play, she shared that she had been eyeing this project at another theater group in town about a year ago, but right before she was supposed to begin, they closed. She also said, “The play is so lovely and poignant, and not traditionally linear. We watch these ladies change over five years.”

The characters are so wonderfully different, and yet they are bound together by this very unique friendship that never dies. I wondered what Juliah, as the director, would like the audience to take away with them as they leave the theatre. Mainly she just hopes that people will walk away with a wonderful and full experience. To feel that perhaps on some level each

The Upcycling Artist

8 layers of plastic bags are combined on a heat press

Photos by Mitch Grimmett

mericans tend to prefer the disposable and convenient lifestyle as opposed to a life full of reusable green products which require more effort on our part. Whether it be a piece of plastic silverware, a plastic cup or a simple paper plate, many of us love using anything that helps avoid loading the dreaded dishwasher for a little while longer.

Moreover, our food is often in plastic containers and the bags that we use to carry our nutritious or not so nutritious purchases are plastic themselves.

With all this plastic floating around, it is isn’t surprising to find out that it is having a negative impact on the Earth or that people like Sara Wiener are trying to stem this wasteful tide using art.

Coached by her grandmother Bella, Sara learned to sew at a very young age and this prompted a lifelong love affair with textile crafts. In 1991, Sara opened her original store named Sara Bella which aimed to produce clothing that both kids and adults could enjoy.

Craving more freedom to express herself artistically, Sara opened her new store in 2010 called Sara Bella Upcycled. Although the name may have changed only slightly, the products being sold from Sara Bella Upcycled are drastically different from those which would have been found in Sara’s previous store and in other stores around the world. This is because Sara Bella Upcycled sells products that are 95 percent recycled plastic bags that would have otherwise been dumped into a nearby landfill. But how is this possible?

Sara explained, “I take a whole bunch of plastic bags of different colors and I layer them on a heat press. I end up with around eight layers of plastic bags and then on the top layer I do a collage to create the decorative elements. I take these pieces and sew them together into a larger piece of fabric which is used to create the final product.”

This interesting technique creates colorful purses, eye catching messenger bags, solid growler totes and so much more. Perhaps one of the most impressive pieces made by Sara is the upcycled trench coat with its vibrant and powerful fashion statement. If this Christmas list of wearable and functional art just isn’t enough, readers will be glad to know that Sara also uses these plastics to make wall art, greeting cards and even sculptures of sea creatures affected by the plastic in our oceans.

Each piece is completely unique in its appearance due to the varying plastics used in the plastic pressing process. Yet, these items not only have value because they are one-of-a-kind eye candy, but because they are a sign of change and a reminder that we must all do our part to protect the Earth.

Simply put by Sara, “We need to take a look at how we use plastics and decrease it.”

Each Sara Bella piece is completely unique

Sara Bella Products can also be found at retail locations in Bend and Portland.

Outreach & Community Support at the Core of Tower Theatre Mission

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

S

ince the grand re-opening of the Tower Theatre in 2004, Bend’s iconic venue has welcomed a vast array of headliners and productions onto the stage. Managed by the non-profit Tower Theatre Foundation, the programming team works hard to secure big names that will bring in sold-out crowds, but the essence of the foundation’s commitment to supporting the community can be found in their educational outreach productions and local non-profit relationships.

“Ten years ago the community said they want the Tower Theatre; it’s the community that saved her. We have always felt a responsibility to give back,” said Foundation Development Director Todd Dickerson. The theatre’s $4.2 million renovation was made possible through years of campaigning and fundraising, and Central Oregon rose to the challenge.

“We want Bend [and Central Oregon] to know we have family friendly offerings from a content and price standpoint,” Dickerson said. “And we want to grow those offerings.”

The Tower’s educational programming falls under The LessonPLAN (Performing Live Arts Now) series, and while targeted at school-aged children, families of all ages can enjoy the evening performances at affordable rates of $5 - $10. “We know that we bring great value with these programs, and we hope we can spread the word so more folks will come to the evening shows.”

“We love to see kids “We love to see kids come to the theatre if they have never been here before and see their eyes light up,” he said. come to the theatre if they Each LessonPLAN program comes with materials to aid have never been here teachers and students in getting the most out of the presentation; last year the shows reached 4,000 kids. before and see their eyes Some programs have toured the country and already have an light up,” Dickerson said. excellent set of study materials, if not, the Tower taps into their volunteer base (including former curriculum directors) to help them create the materials, and the Foundation is currently working to form an educational outreach committee.

“We try to provide theater etiquette to the students as well,” Dickerson said. “Like what they will see, what it will be like and what is expected of them…like no standing on chairs!...We teach the teachers how to use the materials because they have enough to do. We want to make it as seamless and easy as possible, then we follow up and make sure it was a win-win.”

2013’s slate of LessonPLAN programs include Warriors Don’t Cry, a one-woman show focused on the 1957 struggle to end segregation in schools; Gizmo Guys with a bunch of tricks up their sleeves to help teach science and physics through juggling and sleight of hand; Lewis & Clark, an interactive voyage of discovery through the eyes of some of our greatest explorers; and Turtle Island Quartet, two –time Grammy winners introduce intergenerational classical chamber music.

As equally important as their educational mission, the Tower Theatre Foundation has worked to become “Bend’s living room” by supporting a variety of non-profits with discounted space rentals. The Tower hosted 116 non-profit use days last year.

“When non-profits to decide to rent the Tower, they have the whole staff at their disposal, we go all out,” Dickerson said. “We love to see the community using it, we wish we could give it away, but we have to recoup some of the expense to open the doors.” Rates are discounted about 25 percent. “[Non-profits] can be diverse on our stage, there is some real legitimacy to what you can do when you are here. The Education Foundation has trivia bee that happens every year and it’s a huge portion of the funding they accomplish.

“We make it as first class as it can be... I am always happy to visit with the non-profits to help them generate [a plan] as they might not have a development staff. I can help to make those connections,” Dickerson explained.

“As we enter into this 10 year anniversary we want to celebrate all that has happened [with the Tower over the years]. We want to move forward and have really given attention to how we can have a greater community impact. I think you will see initiatives from us in the coming year and beyond that are new and exciting, and are really all about serving the community and doing things that no one else can do.” www.towertheatre.org, 541-317-0700.

ick Bartow, Dale Patrick Chihuly, Morris Graves, Marie Watts and Mark Tobey are just a few of the famous names behind the prints in a new art exhibit at the High Desert Museum.

Creating Impressions: Printmaking in the Northwest will showcase more than 50 modern and contemporary prints and the painstaking process behind each one. In printmaking circles, creativity and technical acumen coexist. The form requires a level of technical skill and understanding unparalleled in the art world.

“Printmaking is not just a creative, artistic exercise. It’s also a very thoughtful and analytical process,” said Faith Powell, curator of Creating Impressions. “There are many different techniques that fall under the banner of printmaking, all of which require a unique combination of artistic flare and technical skill.

goal with this exhibit is to highlight those intricate printmaking processes with modern and contemporary art from the Northwest.

It’s going to be a fascinating study of the form and function of printmaking. ” The exhibition is divided into four sections that will allow visitors to explore numerous printmaking techniques: relief prints, including woodcuts and linocuts, silkscreened prints, intaglio prints, including etchings and engravings and planographic prints, including lithographs and monotypes.

By looking at tools and equipment used for printmaking, alongside the fine art prints, visitors will gain a greater understanding of modern and contemporary aesthetics that draw from a range of artistic processes.

The featured artwork dates back to the 1940s and is on loan from the Jordon Schnitzer Family Foundation Collection. www.highdesertmuseum.org.

Jawann Venable Bringing an Awareness of New Direction

B

end artist Jawann Venable will have his first exhibit at Portland’s Pancakes & Booze Art Show September 13 at Urban Studio, 935 Davis, 8pm-2am.

Venable has devoted much of his time translating and exploring the visual world. “I hope that my work speaks to a similar search within you,” he said. As a young artist he was intrigued and stimulated by many things including surface, form, color, texture and individual inventiveness.

“The nature of my work varies from time to time, embracing urban tension, inspired by art history, the world around me and the visions that naturally come to me,” reports Venable. “My artwork promotes a transparent look into my personality and life experience.”

Venable’s current artwork is a mixture between Cubism, Modernism (contemporary art) and developing urban tension. “I aim to reduce natural form to their geometrical equivalents while reorganizing planes of the object I’m representing, reflecting human nature in the face of society, culture and the natural world. Color experimentation and experimenting with new ways of seeing fresh ideas is another key factor within my artwork.

“The heart and passion behind my work is the number one emotion or feeling I consistently strive to convey. It reflects the sense of amazement I hold for social consciousness, people, places and beautiful objects that appear in my daily life. As an individual creating art, it is a continuous reason to see as much as possible, experience as much as possible. Creating art is an ongoing excuse to stare at things, while envisioning dreams, finding time to retreat and ponder them.”

Venable’s passion for creating and designing led him to complete an Associate in Applied Science degree in the study of graphic design, with a one year certificate in digital imaging. “Graphic design is another aspect of my creative experiences,” he said. “I have always been interested in computers. Graphic design gave me the ability to utilize the computer to create.” jawannvenable@gmail.com.

Funds Needed for Historic Stained Glass Window Preservation

T

he First United Methodist Church in Bend was chartered in 1906 shortly after the City of Bend was incorporated. The current church building was constructed in 1920 and sits in what is now the downtown Bend Historic District. The building is highly visible in the downtown area and serves not only the needs of the congregation but a community in need. Programs providing services to anyone on a non-religious basis include regular meals, utility assistance, financial assistance, laundry assistance and sponsors programs for NA, AA, Alanon, SA, OA, boy scouts and girl scouts. The church also hosts the local Jewish congregation.

Financial needs were very limited in 1920 and the Bend community, in many cases non-Methodists, came together to raise funds for the building. During construction church members selected Povey Brothers Studios, located in Portland, to provide stained glass windows. Povey Brothers, in business from 1888 to 1928, were known for high quality stained glass windows that were called the Tiffany’s of the Northwest.

Today, Povey stained glass windows are considered some of the finest in the country and are known more as fantastic works of art. The windows were considered to have extraordinary quality and beauty and are a mark of pride in the Portland area in several historic buildings.

Currently the stained glass windows are protected on the exterior by an over 40 year old material that is seriously cracked and yellowed. The degraded condition of the protective material is allowing weather elements to endanger the stained glass windows. A preservation project is underway that will repair exterior window casework and replace the failing protective material with a new clear high tech material. The clear material will not only protect the windows from the elements but will enhance the outside appearance to the public and preserve these precious pieces of art history.

Meet Artists at Sunriver Artists’ Gallery on Second Saturday

C

ome wind down from summer activities with the artists of the Sunriver Artists’ Gallery. The Second Saturday Artists ‘Reception, September 14, is a wonderful way to meet the artists and view the latest additions to the Gallery’s collection. Enjoy a glass of wine or beer and a tasty snack, have a few laughs and get ready for a beautiful fall season.

Julie McClay’s watercolor paintings are long admired at the gallery. She produces delightful pieces, and aside from selling original artwork, Julie provides giclee copies of her images on non-paper media such as cutting boards and drink coasters.

Now McClay has elevated her love for water to a whole new level by harnessing water’s endless momentum and translucent vibrancy with her creative water features. Using metal (copper is the artist’s favorite so far), McClay makes it possible to feel, hear and visually see water. Her spectacular creations combine copper stems, leaves and branches with natural elements such as stones, driftwood and plants collected by the artist. Each work of art will bring peace and tranquility to your home.

makes a wonderful base for any arrangement that is used to enhance the piece’s beauty.

Oil and acrylic painter Bonnie Junnel is a local favorite. Her subject repertoire is vast, but of late, the artist has been indulging her love of sunlight dancing on and through water. Current paintings include water with reeds, koi fish or waterlilies. Her painting Follow the Leader depicts golden koi fish lazily swimming under the lily pads. The gold of the koi is a wonderful complement to the cerulean blue water. The light twinkles on the water surface.

Junnel recently provided artwork for a newly published cookbook about Italian cooking. Her painting, A Taste of Italy, is one of a series of 12 paintings for that project.

Potter Peter Roussel’s use of alternative firing techniques on the beautiful pots and platters that he throws always result in endless and beautiful surface finishes. Alternative firing techniques are sometimes referred to as horsehair, sagger fired, slip resists, smoked finished, fumed and pit fired pottery. When asked about the details of horsehair pottery, Roussel tells a great story about how hard it is to get the horse to back up to the pot and Fountain by Julie McClay

Painter Dottie Moniz utilizes multiple processes when creating her artwork. Often, she will display a wonderful control of watercolor technique.

Other times, she uses paper collage or fabric to convey her beautiful images. Sometimes, she will use all three techniques on the same painting. Moniz is a pro at capturing the texture, colors and lines hidden in nature’s palette. She provides a combination of abstraction and realism that gives her artwork an edge. Her depictions of local landmarks make wonderful groupings for her dedicated collectors.

Her painting Moon Over Bachelor was inspired by an evening drive when the moon was full and shining on Mt. Bachelor. It captures the moon’s shadows of blues and greens as they play

Roussel then uses chemicals like ferric chloride to create the intense hues of red and orange of many of his pieces.

Other pieces are a beautiful turquoise.

Roussel purposely throws all of his platters and pots “heavy.” This means that each pot is substantially weighted and

The wash of blue in the background highlights the warm yellow poppies in the foreground. As a special touch, Moniz has added piano music from her Grandmother’s collection of sheet music along with dictionary text from an old dictionary.

Welcome to The Sisters Country

by JEFF SPRY Cascade A&E Feature Writer

For owners Don Patheal and Teri Applegarth of Don Terra Artworks, the change has been kind to them, with better foot traffic and Gallery Owner Don Patheal more display space to spread their artistic wings and grow.

Since opening in its original Hood Avenue location in 2007, Don Terra Artworks has been a supportive haven for new and established artists in Central Oregon and they’ll continue that tradition at their new digs just down the boulevard.

“Last November our landlord told us he was going to put our building up for sale,” said Applegarth. “The good thing about our community here in Sisters is that we work together really well. When we heard the new property was available we talked to our landlords trying to find a place big enough to accommodate our gallery. Mike Reed was gracious enough to accommodate our needs and discovered a perfect spot to move into the City Center Building on the corner of Hood and Elm. “Don and our son Dane packed it all up and we were up and running in eight days, from the time we started to the time we finished. So it was a pretty easy transition. And we love the new place, it’s a much better location, we have no trees to block our view and there’s increased visibility. It’s open and airy and doesn’t feel confined, with this amazing bright sunlight for the artwork. The outcome has been awesome.”

Don Terra Artworks is also nearing their sixth anniversary in Sisters this November.

“We’re really loving this new location,” said Patheal.

“The layout is much better and we think it’s a busier cor-

ner and we’re getting tons of foot traffic with great response from our customers and visitors. Currently we’re at about 140 artists represented, maybe down a little bit from our last place, primarily all from Oregon but we do have a few from out of state as well. And we’ve got about 3,000 square feet total with the addition of this side room now.”

Inside their wraparound interior is a rich treasure house of pottery

by Blue Spruce Pottery, the oldest potter in Central Oregon, stunning fused glass by Ann Cavanaugh, lodge style furniture in juniper, maple burl and black walnut by Terry Boatman, bronzes by Tim Norman, landscape paintings by Barbara Berry and spectacular glass vases from Glassometry Studios of Hood River as well as a multitude of impressive metalwork, birdhouses, artisan jewelry, Lester Newell moose antler carvings, hard-maple walking staffs and a colorful oasis of garden art.

“When we first opened we decided to mix the fine arts and crafts together and consider it to be all art anyway,” explained Patheal. “So far it’s been a great combination and worked really well. It’s been a wonderful ride for us and we want to thank all of the artists and customers we’ve met over the years and appreciate their enthusiastic support. Please come on in and visit us at our new location. We always have artist receptions and creative events and there’s a revolving roster of fine artists and craftsmen featured in the store so you’ll never see the same stuff twice.”

Something new on the horizon will be a relaxing art courtyard for customers and artists to unwind, chat and mingle. Patheal said, “It’s already all landscaped and our son is going to be building welded garden art along with some pre-existing artists’ work. The courtyard area has a big deck in the garden and we hope to stage some fun events this summer with artists and live music and wine.”

Sculpture Wins People’s Choice Vote in Redmond

wo years ago, the City of Redmond unveiled a new public art program, Art Around the Clock. Art Around the Clock is an outdoor public art gallery where artists loan the City their sculpture to display for two years. The City of Redmond then promotes the artist and their sculpture and at the end of the two-year installation, and the public votes on a favorite sculpture to purchase for the permanent collection. “It is a win-win program for all,” explained Heather Richards, community development director for the City of Redmond. “The City of Redmond is able to install several sculptures for the public to enjoy and the artist gains exposure and the potential of having their sculpture purchased for the permanent collection.”

horse sculptures throughout the Northwest. Although Sirocco retails for $39,000, Jan agreed to sell it to the City of Redmond for $9,000 because she likes how it looks in Redmond and believes that it suits Redmond well. “We only had a maximum of $9,000 to purchase a sculpture, and I was nervous when we put together the people’s choice vote, because I suspected that the community loved Sirocco, but I was not confident that Jan would agree to sell it to us for the money we had available,” Richards said. “We would not have been able to put Sirocco on the ballot if it cost more than $9,000 and I did not want to disappoint the community.

I was shocked and grateful to Jan when she agreed to the price. Redmond is very lucky to have the opportunity to purchase this beautiful sculpture for such a reduced sum.”

Funding for the purchase of the sculpture came from a variety of sources, including an Oregon Arts Commission Grant, private donations and the City of Redmond.

Small Pleasures at Pure Kitchen

Still hungry, we ordered round two. We had wanted to try the Steamed Garlic Ginger Rice on the first go-around and thankfully corrected the oversight this time. What a treat!

“That’s seriously good,” I said.

“I love the rice!” exclaimed my no-carb friend.

“I love the rice!” She would repeat those exact words two more times.

In short, make sure to order the rice.

The Calamari Super Bowl was another hit. A plentiful amount of calamari, lightly fried and tender, was served with a house-made, sweet (but not too sweet) chili sauce. Our only suggestion would have been to add a second aioli-style sauce.

The Duck Salad featured a generous amount of Duck Crepe grilled, crispy, medium rare duck that this time was allowed to shine, served on a bed of spring greens tossed with red onion, toasted rice and a light, spicy lime vinaigrette dressing.

ocal singer-songwriter, Travis Ehrenstrom released his new album, Remain A Mystery in record stores and on iTunes in August. Digital copies are available for download on Ehrenstrom’s website, while audiophiles will celebrate a late September release on vinyl.

Crowd-source funded through a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, Remain A Mystery was co-produced by Ehrenstrom and Keith Banning and recorded at Banning’s Lonely Grange Studios in Sisters.

“It’s an engaging listen, an eclectic, 21st Century take on folk-pop-rock-whatever,” says The Bend Bulletin’s Ben Salmon. “Fans of Wilco, Ryan Adams and My Morning Jacket’s mellower moments should take notice.”

In November The Travis Ehrenstrom Band will embark on a coastal tour of Northern California, Oregon and Washington.

Travis Ehrenstrom has been writing and recording Americana music for the last decade and performing solo and with his band. From 2010-12, Travis filled the bassist role for Seattle-area rock band, The Courage. The Courage was a national touring act, gracing stages with the likes of Josh Ritter, Portugal, The Man, Kimya Dawson and more.

Rounding out the roots-rock band are Patrick Pearsall on bass and vocals, Benji Nagel on guitar and vocals and Kaleb Kelleher on drums. travisehrenstom@gmail.com, www.travisehrenstrom.com, 425-516-8363.

ob Dylan’s influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-consciousness narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notion that a singer must have a conventionally good voice in order to perform, thereby redefining the vocalist’s role in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. And that just touches on the tip of his achievements.

Dylan’s force was evident during his height of popularity in the ‘60s — the Beatles’ shift toward introspective songwriting in the mid-’60s never would have happened without him — but his influence echoed throughout several subsequent generations, as many of his songs became popular standards and his best albums became undisputed classics of the rock and roll canon. Dylan’s influence throughout folk music was equally powerful, and he marks a pivotal turning point in its 20th century evolution, signifying when the genre moved away from traditional songs and toward personal songwriting. Even when his sales declined in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Dylan’s presence rarely lagged, and his commercial revival in the 2000s proved his staying power.

For a figure of such substantial influence, Dylan came from humble beginnings.

Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Dylan (b. Robert Allen Zimmerman, May 24, 1941) was raised in Hibbing, Minnesota, from the age of six. As a child he learned how to play guitar and harmonica, forming a rock and roll band called the Golden Chords when he was in high school.

Dylan made his way to New York City in January of 1961, immediately making a substantial impression on the folk community of Greenwich Village. Dylan’s debut album (released in March 1962), is a collection of folk and blues standards that boasted only two original songs. Over the course of 1962, Dylan began to write a large batch of original songs, many of which were political protest songs in the vein of his Greenwich contemporaries. These songs were showcased on his second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

By the time The Times They Are A-Changin’ was released in early 1964, Dylan’s songwriting had developed far beyond that of his New York peers. Heavily inspired by poets like Arthur Rimbaud and John Keats, his writing took on a more literate and evocative quality.

Dylan made his breakthrough to the pop audience in the summer of 1965, when Like a Rolling Stone became a number two hit.

Bob Dylan Bootleg Series Volume 10 comes from the 1969-1971 recording sessions that ultimately produced the Self Portrait and New Morning albums. All 35 tracks are previously unreleased, alternate takes, demos or live versions of that material. The versions of the songs on this package are radically different from the officially released versions. The cover is new artwork by Bob Dylan. The liner notes have been written by Greil Marcus, who wrote the original Self Portrait review for Rolling Stone that infamously asked, “What is this sh**?” Also included is an extensive essay from well known journalist, Michael Simmons. The set also has extensive photographs of that era from John Cohen and Al Clayton, many of them rare and unseen - as well as pictures of the original tape boxes and cue sheets.

Jimmy Buffet - Songs From St. Somewhere Photo from islandjay.com

Jimmy Buffett

arrothead alert: Jimmy Buffett, who was born in 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, has a new studio CD, Songs From St. Somewhere, with 15 brand new recordings, plus a bonus track.

The album was recorded this spring in various locals including Key West, Nashville, Austin, Miami and St. Barts.

The first single Too Drunk to Karaoke is a duet with Toby Keith. Jimmy and Toby are shooting a video for the song, directed by Michael Salomon.

Other song titles are Somethin’ ‘Bout a Boat, Einstein Was a Surfer and Useless But Important Information.

Latin singer Fannie Lu lends her great vocals in the Spanish ver-

sion of I Want To Go Back to Cartagena. Soulfully (bluesy-rock track with great melody, harmonies and piano playing), Rue De La Guitare, I Wave Bye Bye (slow-tempo jazzy track with beautiful melody and vocals) and Colour of The Sun, are upbeat tempos.

After working with a cover band called The Now Generation, Buffett landed his first record contract in 1970. Later that year, he released his folk-country debut, Down to Earth, followed by High Cumberland Jubilee, both of which went largely unnoticed.

Having always been drawn to the sea, Buffett moved to Key West in the early 1970s, where he adopted his trademark beachcombing persona. Under this new guise, he signed a contract with ABC-Dunhill and put out White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean in 1973. With instant party hits like Why Don’t We Get Drunk (And Screw), Buffett gained a loyal following who appreciated the laid-back atmosphere of his live shows. Soon, his fans started wearing Hawaiian shirts, traveling Grateful Dead-style to his shows and calling themselves Parrotheads.

Buffett currently lives in Palm Beach, Florida, where he is an avid sailor and pilot and an outspoken environmental activist.

The First Step

by JEANNEMARIE HALLECK of Cascade School of Music

B

Music Notes

ecoming a musician is all about taking the first step. It is about falling in love with a piece of music, an artist, a composer or an instrument. It can be a momentary decision or a long-standing desire. Either way, that first step leads down a path that will add joy, community and fun to your life, through music. At Cascade School of Music we work hard to provide every opportunity possible to make that first step too easy to resist.

After all, who doesn’t want to be a musician? So why take that step here? Our instructors are some of the most talented musicians and educators in the state (and beyond). Our school is warm and welcoming, full of instruments of all shapes and sizes. We offer all kinds of classes, lessons and ensembles throughout the week. And if you can’t make that first step at the school, we offer programs at the local elementary schools.

We host field trips to the Central Oregon Symphony Orchestra and to shows at the Tower Theatre because we believe that seeing live music can be the perfect inspiration for aspiring musicians. We even have a guide to show you where that first step leads to next: our Musician’s Path program engages young students from the beginning, and keeps them learning while having fun.

Music is a life-long journey, and I guarantee that anyone who has followed the path to musicianship has not regretted it for a moment.

In early September we are opening up our doors for our second annual open house. We invite you to come take that first step with us. Visit the school, try out an instrument, meet our great instructors, go on a musical treasure hunt and eat ice cream in the park along the Deschutes River. We are sure that you will want to take that first step once you see just how easy it is.

New Perspective For September by Eileen Lock

heck in with yourself at the beginning of this month to be sure you have what you need. The New Moon on the 5th is a good time to organize some part of your life. Take a step back from everything on the 7th and simply feel good about what is happening. The 9th is a turning point where you begin moving in a new direction. Be patient with the process and take care of necessary decisions.

Follow your heart on the 10th as you take steps on the new path. Conversations over the next few days could feel challenging. Continue to listen to your heart and you will find your way. Celebration will be in order on the 13th and you could feel like you are setting the tone for your future. More patience on the 15th will be helpful as you challenge yourself to do something new. Everything seems to fall into place easily on the 17th and it will be important to express your appreciation. The Full Moon on the 19th could find you torn between moderation and going for it. Find a happy medium point and enjoy your experience.

The Fall Equinox on the 22nd is a time to share your joy with others. Spend the next week loving everything you see and notice how your life changes. Opportunities on the 26th are expansive and will invite you to open your mind to incredible possibilities. You could have mixed feelings on the 28th when your heart wants one thing and your body wants something else. Make a choice on the 29th and realize there are some parts of your life that are coming to completion. Trust enough to let go and welcome what is next.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock, Clairvoyant Astrologer, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com.
