The Vision — BendFilm Flourishes with Indie Women You have to have a big vision and take very small steps to get there. You have to be humble as you execute but visionary and gigantic in terms of your aspiration. It’s not about grand innovation, it’s about a lot of little innovations: every day, every week, every month, making something a little bit better. ~ Jason Calacanis (American internet entrepreneur and blogger)

endFilm is an inspiring, passionate and economically beneficial event embraced by the community in a pretty big way. An independent film festival that was once a dot on the radar is now one of the top 50 film festivals in the world named by MovieMaker magazine.

The four-day dream catcher gives our community a firsthand glance at documentaries that are gut wrenching, films that will make you laugh or cry or ponder along with a chance to meet innovative and hopeful filmmakers who are sure to find a spot in history.

BendFilm has had its ebbs and flows in its minor financial crisis and its changes of the guard through various directors, board members and sponsors.

But Bendfilm survives because it is a gift for our community and offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to view great works of thought and visual intregrity through film.

Under the leadership of former BendFilm Executive Director Orit Schwartz, last year was certainly a banner year for the festival as it completed its tenth season and evolved into one of the most anticipated events in Bend’s history.

Several years ago the festival was highlighted by the performance of the amusing John Waters with his edgy Pope of Trash. But it was the Audience Favorite and the Best of Show winning a $10,000 award, The Trials of Darryl Hunt, that was so deeply moving and still reminds me today why we bring independent films here. Darryl Hunt spent 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. The winning film was a story of a brutal rape/murder case of a young white women in the south and a wrongly convicted young black man. With exclusive footage from two decades, the film frames the judicial and emotional response to a chilling crime — and the implications that reverberate from Darryl’s conviction.

visits, lectures and workshops, as well as attendee gatherings that have helped to make the BendFilm festival successful in past years.

You can see a list of some of the women who have given to the Indie Women fund over the years on page 34 of this magazine. With two years and more than $20,000 under our belt, we are well on our way to raising another $10,000 that will help the festival’s new and inspiring director, Todd Looby, put on another fabulous festival.

If you want to join Indie Women, it is most assuredly not exclusive, please contact me at pamela@cascadebusnews.com. We give in order to continue the amazing tradition of BendFilm.

It was a great tribute for BendFilm to host both Darryl Hunt and director Annie Sundberg and reminds me often of what an introspective experience BendFilm can be.

Two years ago, we fathomed the idea to create a special ‘club’ so to speak, whereby 100 women would each contribute $100 each to raise $10,000 for BendFilm awards especially for women filmmakers and directors.

Money raised is also wanted to fund valuable festival activities such as filmmaker

Jubelale Artwork by Lori & Lisa Lubbesmeyer

Deschutes Brewery 2014 Jubelale bottle features original fiber artwork from Bend’s Lisa and Lori Lubbesmeyer showing two people sledding in a playful winter landscape.

The twins’ artwork for Jubelale 2014 was created through the Lubbesmeyer’s unique method of layering and overstitching with fabrics. During their artistic process, they exchange the pieces, allowing the imagery to emerge spontaneously.

The fracturing of shape and saturation of color occur layer by layer – allowing the texture of the fiber to build the imagery as they’ve responded to each other’s work.

Art Shapes Worldviews Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life. - Henry Miller

S

chools have been under increased pressure to raise student proficiency rates in “core” subjects of reading and math since the No Child Left Behind legislation became law in 2002. Based on the idea that high standards and measurable goals in education can improve individual outcomes, schools now have to test their students annually in these subjects.

Several studies compiled data showing 71 percent of schools have reduced instruction time in the arts, history, language and music, and many art educators saw budgets for their programs decline and money redirected toward “core” classes and test prep.

This is troubling for many reasons. “Art education should be seen as something that contributes to the economy and makes for a more thoughtful society,” said Dr. Robert E. Sabol, president of the National Art Education Association. “It is often the designs of artists that influence consumer and civic decisions that range from what car or home to buy to how to interpret messages from political candidates and others who are trying to shape public opinion.”

What our art educators have done in the wake of No Child Left Behind is step in and fill the void. We are lucky to have institutions like Arts Central, Cascade School of Music, BEAT and the many other individuals and organizations who specifically work with school-age children to impart a more holistic view of learning and creativity, and they need our continued support. See the article on Arts Central (pgs. 16-17) to learn more about their needs and how you can contribute to arts education in our community.

ancy P’s is celebrating its first opening reception on Friday, September 5, 5–7pm. On display, in collaboration with Caldera, the Sunriver Nature Center and the Clabough Foundation, will be Caldera student artwork.

“This exciting collaboration has produced wonderful work by our students,” said Tricia Snell, Caldera’s executive director. “We are thrilled to share the creative inspiration of youth with the community of Bend in September at Nancy P’s.”

The artwork, created during Camp Caldera, was inspired from bird and reptile visits by the Sunriver Nature Center and by Caldera’s annual environmental theme: Humans, Wildlife and the Habitats We Share, and supported in part by a grant from the Clabough Foundation. Works on display will include printmaking, photography, drawing and video.

Caldera is a catalyst for the transformation of underserved youth through innovative year-round art and environmental programs. Youth programs provide underserved Oregon children with year-round, long-term mentoring through arts and nature projects, beginning at age 11 and continuing every week through young adulthood. Caldera works with students in 12 partner schools: six in the Portland metro area, six in Central Oregon and at its summer camp located in Blue Lake outside of Sisters.

Established in 1996 by Dan Wieden, co-founder of the Portland, Oregon-based international ad agency Wieden+Kennedy, Caldera is a nonprofit arts organization that supports children with limited opportunities through long-term mentoring and arts learning, as well as provides fully subsidized residencies to professional artists.

Student artwork will hang at Nancy P’s at 1054 NW Milwaukee Ave, Bend from September 5-29

Strobel says that the series’ success benefits the community in a number of ways.

“Author! Author! promotes and strengthens community dialogue. We saw this so clearly last season, especially with authors such as Sherman Alexie and Cheryl Strayed. But the program also helps out libraries at the same time,” she adds. “All of the proceeds from ticket sales are used by the Foundation to support and enhance Library programs and services.”

In an effort to increase exposure to literature and engage teens in civic dialogue, the Library Foundation also provides free tickets for up to 200 regional high school students to attend the four author presentations and to receive copies of the authors’ books.

“The Library Foundation works closely with high schools in our area to provide books for students to read prior to each author’s visit,” Strobel says. “This is part of an effort to reach out to young adults in the region and to expose them to quality literature while engaging them in discussions regarding the books’ themes.”

General admission tickets are just $20 each. Those tickets, as well as preferred seating tickets that include access to a private author reception, are available now at www. dplfoundation.org. Series tickets are also available.

Recently from Michigan, the slender lined desk chair and ancient English carved oak chair have been recaned. The English chair seat frame had to be reconstructed with epoxy and screws as it had been converted from hand woven to machine woven cane.

This means that over the holes already drilled through the chair frame a channel was routed removing half of the wood causing the frame to break. Now sturdy, all is well. Karen has hand woven the maple dining chair seat for many more years of comfortable service.

God of Carnage Opens at CTC

ascades Theatrical Company (CTC) presents God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton. The show is directed by Brad Thompson, who directed I’ll Remember You last season. The cast features A. Lynn Jesus, Brad Thompson, Christine Thompson and Ed Victor.

God of Carnage is the first production in CTC’s new Black Box series, which is designed to offer an unique way for Bend theatergoers to experience and participate in a more unconventional style of theatre. A team of talented and dedicated community members chose this season’s selection of plays (personal favorites and passion projects) and are thrilled to see them unfold before an audience.

A playground altercation between 11-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

The Black Box productions are different from CTC’s Main Stage productions

The Trouble with Harry at BEAT

Alfred Hitchcock is the acknowledged Master of Suspense. He could simply say “Good Evening” and send a suspenseful thrill through the listener. “Indeed, the willful perversity of Hitchcock’s films is what makes them so effective. Even the most ordinary details become the source of nameless dread: a shower, a staircase, a window, a flock of birds, an innocuous door that just can’t seem to stay closed. And it’s always ordinary, everyday people who become entrapped and entangled in this web of Hitchcockian intrigue,” wrote Judge Gary Militzer.

With creative concept, vocal and stage direction by Nancy Engebretson and music direction by Jason Stein, Mozart’s magical masterpiece is sure to be a major highlight of the Central Oregon 2015 performing arts season.

Auditions for both productions begin 4pm September 15, with The Magic Flute rehearsals getting underway September 25 through November (for local performers) with limited rehearsal in December and resuming January 5, 2015.

BEAT (quality youth theatre) has taken on the challenge of presenting Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry on stage. Leila Smith-Daines is directing the cast and is delighted to see the actors’ reactions to 1954, specifically to no cell phones and test patterns shown on TV, but also to the witty banter. Even the six year old character, Arnie Rogers (LioDitta), is caught up in the uniqueness of being able to run free in the woods unaccompanied, living the dream.

The film, The Trouble with Harry was experimental, an odd black comedywhich perfectly combined many of the elements of obsession, suspense, witty observation and human psychology that Hitchcock doted.The play’s small cast is crucial to the success of The Trouble with Harry.

It is built upon peculiar non-responses to the death. It is as if the audience is taken into a slightly eerie dream formula. Hitchcock wryly called this film

for audiences to see this eagerly anticipated production as we have other acts booked for the theatre the following weekend.”

The TONY Award winning musical focuses on convict Jean Valjean ( Jason Stein), who is on the run while being hunted relentlessly for breaking his parole by his adversary, Police Inspector Javert ( James Knox). Valjean has no choice but to fight for his life and sacrifice everything to honor the promises he has made and protect the people he loves such as his adopted daughter Cosette (Shantae Knorr) and her mother Fantine (Mollie Tennant).

It is being produced by Shore Thing Productions, the company that presented 1776 in Concert with an all-female cast at the Tower Theatre in the summer of 2012. The production will be directed, in an all new staging, by Mike Nowak who will be assisted by Brad Ruder.

It will feature some of Central Oregon’s most skilled classical singers, guided by Jason Stein and Nancy Engebretson, co-founders of OperaBend, and accompanied by a full orchestra conducted by Central Oregon Symphony Maestro, Michael Gesme.

ecords are being broken at the Tower Theatre box office as the demand for tickets to Les Misérables, this year’s offering in the Marquee Series, a showcase of local musical productions sponsored by U.S. Bank with additional support from Bendbroadband, has exceeded expectations.

Originally scheduled for a run of six performances , a decision was made in July by Ray Solley, executive director of The Tower Theatre Foundation, to add a seventh performance in order to accommodate the unprecedented demand for tickets.

This extra show sold out in less than two weeks.

According to Solley, “The Marquee Series has always presented popular theatrical offerings for audiences with many sold out shows, but we have never previously sold out seven performances one month before a show opens. The interest in purchasing tickets for Les Misérables has been apparent since we put them on sale 10 months before opening night, which was another first for the Tower.”

As a result of the seven sold out shows, Solley has added an eighth performance on Sunday, September 21 at 3pm.

“This will be the final performance of Les Miserables and the last chance

an “expensive self-indulgence” but he continued with, “the humor is quite rich.”

Peter Bradshaw wrote, “Bernard Herrmann composed the music for The Trouble with Harry; it was his first score for Hitchcock. This rhythmic musical soundtrack and the rollicking tongue-in-cheek attitude taken

by Hitchcock . . . are two of the chief reasons that it works so well.” Smith-Daines loves the depth Herrmann’s scores bring to the scenes.

The character Sam Monroe (Riley Kenna), is a misjudged artist whose paintings are sold by the local shopkeeper. She hangs one the wrong way up. With a tolerant snicker, Sam turns it around – but isn’t the least bit annoyed. When the film was released, no one knew which way up to hang The Trouble with Harry. It’s time to take another look! Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant and comedic whodunit is fun for the entire family.

“Our program will strengthen the local arts community by generating more opportunities for people to connect through arts exploration all while creating jobs for local artists and educators,” continues Rutz. “Coming this Fall, we are sculpting original jewelry with Silver Metal Clay with artist Larissa Spafford.

We are standing up and representing ourselves and our projects in Diane Allen’s Pitching Your Business for Artists, Entrepreneurs & The Generally Creative.

We will “Sip N Dip” our paintbrushes with beer and coffee artist, Karen Eland.

This Fall we will paint, we will write, we will eat, we will meet friends and we will invigorate our imaginations.”

In addition to the assortment of classes, they are premiering biweekly creativity labs for artists, thinkers and makers of any kind beginning September 4.

Like an exercise class for our brain, these labs are a time and a place to stretch and strengthen our creative aptitude through discussion, exercises and exploration of diverse media in an informal educational setting.

Topics for this quarter include Cross Pollination: How to Find Innovation Through Interdisciplinary Study, Cultivated Habits of a Productive Creative: Flow, Mindset & Discipline and Spontaneous Combustion: Studies & Exercises in Idea Generation through Random Association.

Classes are held primarily on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and on weekends. www.theworkhousebend.com, 50 SE Scott Street, Suite #6, Bend (right behind The Sparrow Bakery)

he table—one of the most understated human inventions. It’s a place to share the fruits of our labor, where conversations happen, a place to ponder ideas and make goods. It’s an essential device that perpetuates the beauty of human life.

“At The Workhouse we have a table,” says Leah Rutz, education and outreach coordinator at The Workhouse. Mounted on old solid iron 2x4s, it spans over 15 feet and seats 20—or more. Remnant of the Old Mill, the table is made of old growth timber coated with a precious patina speaking its age and the many hands that have traversed its surface.

This September The Workhouse is officially debuting The Workhouse Arts and Culture Education Program. They are hosting workshops, discussions and events at the table ranging from arts and craft exploration, professional skills development, lifestyle studies and DIY projecting.

“Our aspiration is to continue to cultivate the seedbed of active, contemporary arts culture that has organically been evolving in the area of the Old Iron Works,” says Rutz. “Together with the other creative-use businesses that make up the Old Iron Works Arts District, we are artists and entrepreneurs in pursuit of a sustainable and meaningful livelihood.”

Through its active artists’ studios, retail gallery and new class program, The Workhouse is building momentum to be a hub where productive relationships are nurtured and local creativity flourishes.

Developing artists get exposure too. A6 has dedicated a Member Feature wall at the entrance to highlight new and developing members. Members can also share their process (and their work) as the featured Artist at Work on First Friday.

As A6 launches its first membership drive, Boone hopes to attract artists who don’t necessarily think of themselves as printmakers or book artists. “Painters, sculptors, photographers, fabric artists, writers—they can discover some really exciting ways to expand their creative process at A6,” says Boone. “Printmaking and book arts are bridge mediums. They connect easily with other art forms. And printmaking is experiencing the greatest evolution from a technical—and technological—standpoint, so there is a lot to explore.”

6 is a boon for Central Oregon artists. A fully-outfitted professional print studio, A6 offers beginning through advanced classes in printmaking and book arts. For artists who want to experience the camaraderie of a working studio and fuel their artistic growth, the greater benefit comes with monthly artist membership.

As the new executive director at A6, one of Dawn Boone’s first moves was retooling the studio, exhibit calendar and membership program to better serve artist members. “When Pat Clark founded A6 in 2007, the artist members were the heart and soul of the studio,” explains Boone. “We’ve had a lot of growth in our educational outreach programs and our community impact since becoming a nonprofit in 2012. I want to A6 Artist Members at work ensure we keep true to our core—our artist members— and grow that program as well.”

A6 has dramatically expanded its hours starting this month, so artist members can use the open studio during the weekdays, evenings and weekends. Artist members can also take advantage of free critiques and twicemonthly demonstrations and discussions.

A6 artists will have plenty of chances to exhibit in the coming months. “We’re planning more solo and two-

Art Central’s Black & White Supports Arts Education Photos courtesy of Arts Central & Gillian Rathbun

Arts Central provides creative outlets for children and adults alike

by RENEE PATRICK, Cascade A&E Editor

A

rt was my favorite class in school when growing up. I learned how to throw clay, carve soapstone, draw, etch and the best part: get messy with paints. The climate for arts education in today’s schools is much different than it was 20 years ago: budget cuts, curriculum changes and the impact of No Child Left Behind has created a vacuum for creative arts in schools.

That’s why the Black & White Fundraiser for Arts Central’s work is so crucial to the health and vitality of our children and communities, through their efforts to make the arts accessible to all, and by integrating the arts into all aspects of community life, they can mitigate some of the impact of dwindling arts programs in schools.

“The need for arts education in the schools is extremely serious,” explained Arts Central Executive Director Cate O’Hagan. “Almost 25 percent of our budget (or $100,000) comes from the Black & White Fundraiser, with all proceeds going to support the organization’s arts education programs.

This event is critically important.”

The programming offered by Arts Central ranges from the Art Station, Central Oregon’s only nonprofit visual arts school; Artists in Schools, a team of over 30 professional artists working with students and teachers; and VanGo, a community outreach program giving children in rural communities and at-risk youth access to arts education.

“Art Station is the largest freestanding art school east of the Cascades,” O’Hagan said. “If we were extracted from this market there would be basically no visual arts education. There are a number of instructors, artists and studios who are doing smaller scale programs, but the breadth of what we cover is greater than what anyone else is doing.”

Arts Central took a hit during the recent recession, as they saw an almost 40 percent drop in their budget. “During the recession a lot of our students left town…and to protect our ‘internal organs’ we hunkered down and weren’t doing as much outreach as we didn’t have the staff,” O’Hagan explained. “Standing today, we did pull through. We are now in the process of carefully rebuilding and figuring out the best ways to proceed. The environment for arts education has changed since 2007. We are assessing: what is the new environment? What can we do and how?”

O’Hagan touts the Art Station as their biggest asset as it serves as Arts Central’s laboratory where they develop new curriculum, train teachers and test the results through programs like VanGo. VanGo, the decorated Honda Element, is a mobile art studio complete with supplies and an art instructor. To date, VanGo has traveled to 30 sites in four counties, reaching over 2,250 underserved kids.

VanGo helps nonprofit service agencies and community organizations throughout Central Oregon strengthen their programs to build a stronger support system for children through art; partnership organizations include Partners in Care Camp Courage, St. Charles Healthcare’s cancer program, Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Oregon, Head Start and Mary’s House.

In the next phase of Arts Central’s operations, they plan to increase the resources put into professional development, thus increasing their ability to train teachers how to teach art and how integrate it into their studies.

The board of directors has been elemental in helping the organization survive and now thrive. “Every single board member is appropriate for this organization, has the means to help support, garner support and plays a hands-on roll,” O’Hagan said. “We have a leadership policy making board,

Black & White is a critical funding source for Art Central’s programming

Black & White – An Elegant Evening of Arts & Community September 21

T

he annual event, held at Bend Country Club on September 21, is in its 10th year of raising funds to support Arts Central’s programming. What began on the Mirror Pond Plaza a decade ago, is now a celebrated gathering where supporters can bid on live and silent auction items and enjoy an evening of fine dining.

“At our first Black & White Gala our volunteers organized everything from cooking the food to setting up the event,” Executive Director Cate O’Hagan said. “When reflecting on the event today, Arts Central and the Black & White has had a good trajectory.”

Attendees will enjoy a glass of champagne upon their arrival as they browse the different live auction items. “We try to auction art from local artists,” commented Black & White Organizer and Arts Central Board Member Marsha Stout. “This year we have pieces from the Lubbesmeyer Gallery, Douglas Fine Jewelry, Rhodes Smithy Studio, Sandy Brooke and more, along with wine dinners from Jackalope Grill and

and the people are willing to do more grass roots work like coming into the office and helping out, taking on development and membership processing jobs and running the Black & White.”

In addition to the programming offered for all ages and their outreach activities, Arts Central plays a vital role in supporting the community and local artists. As the Regional Arts & Culture Council, they collaborate with businesses and city governments to bring the arts into every facet of our region.

Arts Central spearheaded a collaborative cultural tourism effort by pulling together representatives from four regional Cultural Coalitions of the

Bend Wine Cellar, two trips to Tuscany, a trip to New Orleans and a Portland cultural getaway.”

The silent auction will feature over 50 items like a magnum of wine from Archery Summit, Tower Theatre tickets, local golf packages and plenty of local art.

“What’s vital for everyone to know about the Black & White and Arts Central is that we provide art for students of all ages, especially those in underserved areas,” said Stout. “Without us a lot of kids wouldn’t get art instruction and it’s such a valuable component of their education. I have an art degree myself, it is such an important part of who I am, and I want to make sure children are given every opportunity to experience art and culture.”

Tickets are available until they are gone, 541-633-7242 or acinfo@ artscentraloregon.org. www.artscentraloregon.org

They also initiated and sponsored the formation of the Arts & Culture Alliance (ACA) that now has over 30 local member organizations working together to promote, enhance and expand Central Oregon’s art and culture opportunities.

Arts Central needs your help to continue offering arts education programming in schools and to provide opportunities for anyone looking to get messy with paints or learn a new artistic skill.

Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Ave. Celebrates First Friday with works by Randy Redfield and Gary Vincent. Redfield presents images from his Project 43 series. The series, evolving since 2012, continues his color- Crosswater by Randy Redfield field painting but on wood panels rather than canvas. Color-field refers to a non-representational art form that features large, often isolated blocks of color yielding a more simplified image.

As seen in Crosswater from the current series, the artist applies successive layers of underpainting combined with sanding and electric drill work, effecting greater surface texture.

He notes these techniques produce a new color-field approach in his art that inspired some representation images Vishnu in Black and White by conceived in the last stages of the larger pieces. Redfield notes Gary Vincent that the format allowed him the freedom to emphasize the surface more than previously, creating in his work “a new fluency in the language of making art.”

Vincent’s Vishnu in Black and White illustrates his non-objective art that begins with choosing a palette, often his favored black and ivory, and essentially making marks in black on the blank canvas. He finds that a pattern begins to emerge from the negative ivory shapes formed by the background, which suggests a rhythm in the image. Continuing, the black marks define the pattern, the size of the shapes, the interactive hues. The phenomenon of the optical shift between the light and dark values becomes integral in defining the design. As the painting continues, the hues shift in prominence and a final harmony arises that defines the composition. The artist observes that the creative process is highly intuitive, counter-balanced by the logical mind seeking to define the imagery, an interactive exchange between conscious thought and intuition. He notes that Chaos Theory may be operative in this process wherein the logical mind finds order.

Vincent also states that non-objective art is hence a constant exploration into the unknown, trusting the intuitive … he experientially concludes that “Art is from the Heart or it isn’t Art.” Noi Thai serves wine and Thai appetizers.

Art at the Oxford Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Photography by Dave Kamperman. Meet Kamperman, a professional photographer for over 35 years. His move to Bend in 1983 inspired his transition from formal wedding and portrait imagery to landscapes. He states that the beauty of Northwest scenery, particularly that of Oregon, displays the diverse and remarkable beauty of Umpqua by Dave Kamperman “the Creator’s design.” He chooses landscape photography to preserve this magnificence for future generations to enjoy. His passion for accurate representation leads him to continue the use of large format film which he feels surpasses most digital imagery in clarity, natural color saturation and resolution. For the past 10 years, he also creates unique hardwood frames for his images, finding great enjoyment in the matting and framing aspect of his art, “almost as much as the photography itself.” He recently added photos printed on metal to his presentation.

The exhibit continues thru September 26 in the lobby of the Oxford, open all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, curates art displays for The Oxford Hotel lobby with additional information at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176, www.redchairgallerybend.com When Pig’s Fly Through Rainbows features local artists Linda Swindle, Julia Kennedy and Joanie Callen.

Every time Swindle sits down in front of a blank canvas or a piece of paper, she intends to paint something “serious.” Painting by Linda Swindle She looks through her photos and references; ponders, thinks and plans. Then she looks out the window at her ranch toward the cows or horses or even her family dog, Captain, and once again she finds herself painting an animal with vivid colors, expression and personality. Animals seems to touch us like nothing else and it brings Linda such pleasure to paint creatively and bring others such happiness and a smile.

Kennedy started beading after she moved to Seattle in 1995 and needed a rainy day hobby. Since then she has sold her bead-woven jewelry at dozens of juried art shows around the North West. She moved to Bend in 2003 and in the past year has branched out to create Jewelry by Julie Kennedy jewelry using leather and soutache techniques.

Callen is a mosaic artist who studied the classical mosaics in Ravenna, Italy. The technique she learned was the ancient Byzantine method of setting tesserae (pieces of glass) directly into a mortar bed. The Italian experience inspired her to translate the ancient technique into a modern interpretation. Then with vibrant glass, colored mirrors, dichroic glass and many sparkly objects all combined with Joanie’s sense of whimsy and love of color she creates fanciful creatures and colorful mirror frames that will brighten your home and life. Callen’s love of color, especially strong saturated color dominates her work. Callen spent her youth in Northern California but has had traveled extensively living in Germany for two years and visiting such exotic locales as Tahiti, Turkey, Capri, Santorini and Bora Bora. She has chosen Bend to spend the majority of her time and has been Mirror by Joanie Callen living in the area for seven years. Her travels and experiences influence the many colors and shapes she chooses to work with in her art. With the addition of a glass kiln to her studio, Callen’s latest creatures and works incorporate fused glass buttons, flowers, stars and various fanciful shapes. Each piece takes you just one step deeper into the creative mind of Joanie Callen.

Tumalo Art Company 450 SW Powerhouse Dr., Ste. 407, 541385-9144, www.tumaloartco.com The September featured artist is Helen Brown, watercolorist, who focuses on the Struggling Species of the Northwest.

Her concerns—and her paintings—include the honey bee, Monarch butterflies, puffins and the spotted frog among others whose habitats are endangered, or whose populations are declining for various reasons. Helen’s watercolors have earned attention statewide and she was recently selected for publication in Splash, the Best of Watercolor, a nationally acclaimed hardcover collection.

Velvet Lounge 805 NW Wall St., 541-728-0303, www.velvetbend.com After uprooting from their Nashville home and full-time jobs in June of 2012, the husband and wife duo, You Knew Me When, set plans to tour the nation for a full year…however, they never stopped. Since that time they have been serving up their craft brewed compositions coast to coast throughout the USA and into Canada, released their first studio album You, Me, and the Rest of the World and have done so as a fully independent entity.

On September 5 the duo will continue their ongoing tour as they perform in Bend at Velvet. You, Me, and the Rest of the World conveys the dualistic melding of both Karisa and Cie’s musical styles. It is an album that parades between a fusion of progressive indie-rock and folk compositions all infused with a myriad of stirring beats. While blending their vocals, Karisa, who previously served as a Nashville public school music teacher, provides the piano, ukulele and glockenspiel, as Cie, who spent several years as the global events manager for Gibson Guitar, supplies the guitar and rhythmic nuances. The cumulative result is a musical style that blends a singer-songwriter soul with a pop/rock mentality.

Brain child of August Cary, owner and operator of The Crankery, The Artrey was born of equal parts: interest in using his business for the good of the community, a rich background in all things creative and a similar event in his home town of Bozman, MO.

The Artery is a new free-style gallery in Bend

After obtaining a bachelors of fine arts from Montana State University in both graphic design and photography, Cary opened the bike shop in March 2013 and held the inaugural Artery in April 2014.

icture a bike shop transformed into a free style gallery space. On a wall where bike parts once resided, canvases and frames of acrylic, pastel and print now hang.

Imagine a meeting of artists showing pieces of all mediums, finished and unfinished, where dialogue, community support and inclusivity are imperatives. The bike shop is The Crankery, and the event is The Artery, Bring Your Own Art (BYOA) Show and Potluck held every last Wednesday.

Cary calls artists to participate saying, “The goal of The Artery is bringing together and promoting local, less established or growing creatives.”

For September The Artery is teaming up with Last Saturday on September 27 at the Old Iron Works for a special mash-up.

Armature will host The Artery and submissions details for the show are available via The Crankery’s facebook page or 541-550-7233.

also feature other cowboys at work and at play.

Cattle drives from Central Oregon to The Dalles for inland shipping were common when stock raising was the area’s major industry prior to the turn of the century.

Many regional rodeos, including Sisters and Pendleton, pay homage to the area’s heritage as does the exhibition that features western cowboy and rodeo images.

Robert Schlegel, former school superintendent returning to art, shows non-traditional, large horses in bright acrylic loosely based on photos of horses around his home in Banks, Oregon. Another life-long artist, this work recognizes his continuing transition from realism to expressionism.

Alvis shows his remarkable and unusual photo of the now discontinued Rock Springs Guest Ranch cattle drive. A photographer in Bend for over 40 years, the majority of his photography is of artist’s work.

Bend artist Joanne Donaca, born and raised in Ontario, shows oils of cowboy scenes including that of a recent cattle drive in Central Oregon. Her paintings

Logan, working in graphite, shows a rodeo barrel racer, working cowboys and calf-roping. The images reflect his life-long interest in horses beginning with his youth in Montana and retirement in Bend.

he ability of art to evoke emotion is a powerful one. The Sunriver Artists’ Gallery invites you to feel some powerful emotions when viewing the work of this month’s featured artists: Karla Proud, Gary Chandler, Maggie Down, Shirley Checkos and Ken Medenbach. Meet these talented artists at the Gallery’s monthly Second Saturday celebration (4-7pm Saturday, September 12) while enjoying refreshing and complimentary libations and food.

Green Sunstone & Jasper Pendant

by Karla Proud

Karla Proud – Jewelry Designer Nothing delivers an emotional thrill like the purchase of a jewelry piece designed by artist, Karla Proud.

Proud’s one-of-a-kind pieces have made her a long time favorite of Gallery regulars. Many Smith Rock by Gary Chandler & Maggie Down Sunriver visitors have an annual tradition of purchasing the perfect piece of Oregon sunstone jewelry to add to their collection. New Gallery visitors are often amazed that they are not familiar with the beautiful Oregon State gemstone.

Oregon sunstones are rare, beautiful and only found here...a short three hour drive southeast of Bend. The gems, which range from clear champagne to deep reds and rarely, greens, are totally unique in the world. Natural rare copper inclusions lend the gem a myriad of colors and interior textures. The sunstone gems are either faceted, carved, cut into a cabochon of smooth shapes or even made into various shapes of beads. What really sets off the gemstones’ beauty is Proud’s special design talent. Settings range from simple elegance to delicate romantic pieces. Fortunately pricing also has a wide and reasonable range. One pendant features a rare 20 carat size green sunstone set with a ‘serape jasper’ from Arizona. The piece is 18K gold and uses the texture from a sea urchin shell for the tubular bale. And just for fun, the back of the piece is even more detailed with leaf patterns cut from gold.

Gary Chandler and Maggie Down – Photographers New to the Gallery is photography team Gary Chandler and Maggie Down. This talented duo produces a unique blending of photography with digital art. Each piece conveys the visual appeal of the subject or place as well as the emotional impact of the scene

that inspired it.

These talented outdoor photography artists use the camera lens to share their explorations of the beautiful world that they see around them. Taking advantage of digital technology’s enhanced post-processing capabilities and advanced artistic tools they create images that represent not only what the lens captured, but also what the mind saw. Their images are presented on fine art paper, gallery wrapped canvas and metal.

Tiger by Shirley Checkos

Shirley Checkos – Oil Painter Shirley Checkos, accomplished oil painter, produces emotional portraits of both people and animals. Her pieces display an almost super-realistic technique that allow the viewer to have an immediate connection with the subject in the painting. The intense, saturated colors are breath taking. Checkos has an enduring connection to nature that is expressed through the eyes of her subjects.

One of her newest paintings, Costa Rican Friends, depicts a toucan and a parrot that appear to reach out and catch the viewer’s attention. The lush jungle background allows the artist to display her obvious talent for color and pattern.

Ken Medenbach – Chainsaw Creations Long time gallery favorite, Ken Medenbach, captures the emotion of Central Oregon high desert country with his unique and often lovable chainsaw carved wood pieces.

Using indigenous woods, Medenbach’s rugged outdoor benches and beautiful indoor and outdoor furniture pieces are very popular. Many are drawn into the Artists’ Gallery by incredibly cute carved bears that hold the Gallery doors open. Whether bears, benches, eagles, salmon, trees or furniture, Ken makes everything to give your home the emotion of Central Oregon.

erry Underhill and Bub Warren have reopened their shop in Redmond, Glen Douglas Warren, at the old potato shed building on 337 Railroad Way. They spent the past two years on Highway 97 operating Cowboy Trading Post. Outgrowing that building, they moved to their new building and will continue to offer mu-

seum quality Pendleton Bags and purses as well as western style furniture pieces.

“Recently I finished a bed headboard bench, fully leather carved, with salt and pepper cowhide back, sterling silver from John Hyde at Yamsi, Oregon and rawhided by Bill Black of Plush, Oregon,” explained Warren. The bench incorporated four craftsman, including Brent Gourley who made the wooden bench.

“We are an upscale store, selling custom saddles and leatherwork, furniture, art, bags, gun leathers, jewelry, native American beading and collectible salesman sample saddles for that ultimate collector of our western traditions and past.”

The location, if off the beaten path, is a short distance from downtown Redmond. “Central Oregon has become a destination for many years now and we are like committed to offer opportunity for tourist to take home items hand made in Central Oregon,” offers Warren.

Dining A Cut Above at 10Below a hit with the table. One fellow diner found the meat gamey. I didn’t, but I didn’t care for the sweetness of the meat, undoubtedly due at least in part to the beet powder marinade. On the other hand, the man at our table enjoyed the dish and what he perceived as its jerky-like flavor. “It’s a dude thing,” he announced.

We tried two salads, both as beautifully plated as everything else we’d been served to that point. The roasted beet salad with sweet heirloom tomatoes, arugula, pine nuts and Humboldt Fog cheese in a delicious orange-pomegranate molasses and tangerine vinaigrette once again proved a bit on the sweet side for me, but I’m sure my dad would have loved the triple play of sweet on sweet on sweet.

The Oxford’s 10Below delivers on both fronts thanks to Executive Chef Ingrid Rohrer, a California Culinary Academy graduate who moved to Bend after working at Bon Appétit Management Company as well as in kitchens across Northern California.

We started our meal with some of the most memorable scallops I’ve had.

Ever. Dusted in porcinis and served with white trumpet mushrooms in a white wine cream sauce, the silver-dollar-sized scallops were crusty on the outside, succulent on the inside and absolutely delicious. “This is the reason you fall in love with scallops,” I announced. The tablemate sitting kitty corner to me was barely listening. “That sauce and I, we have a thing going on,” she announced dreamily. Truly a match made in heaven.

We also grazed on lightly-breaded, crispy masa-fried calamari served with a homemade lemon chipotle aioli dipping sauce that had a lovely smoky undertone, as well as oyster shooters coated in cornmeal and flash fried, then topped with a bright tomato-guajillo salsa. Both quite tasty, cooked perfectly, and fresh as could be.

The buffalo carpaccio marinated with beet powder and served with orangepomegranate molasses and bits of Pierre Robert triple-cream cheese was less of

Having said that, I have to confess that the homemade candied pepper bacon on the iceberg lettuce wedge served with creamy gorgonzola dressing was positively addicting. We actually asked for more of both the bacon and the dressing. Go big or go home, as they say. And to think that my tablemates and I had actually debated about skipping that salad. My advice? Indulge. You won’t regret it.

We shared three different entrees, starting with two Oregon beef tenderloin filets wrapped in bacon and topped with a blackberry-gorgonzola demi-glace.

At nine to ten ounces each, the filets were the biggest any of us have ever seen served in a restaurant. We all quickly concluded that they were also the most tender we’d had as well.

10 Below “That’s one of the best filets I’ve 10 NW Minnesota Avenue, Bend had,” said each of my friends includPhone: (541) 382-1010 ing one who lived in Chicago for Executive chef: Ingrid Rohrer seven years. That’s saying something.

Hours: 6am–11pm (midnight on Friday &Saturday) The chef ’s daily special—seared with dinner from 5–10pm nightly yellow fin tuna with an Indian twist and related accompaniments— managed to encrust pungent South Asian spices onto the moist fish without overpowering its delicate flavor. That takes a deft hand.

We also sampled the wild salmon filet topped with mushroom duxelle, wrapped in Swiss chard leaves instead of parchment paper and steamed.

“You can really taste the salmon,” one of my friends said. “The chard is really interesting. And there are nice kicks of lemon [from the accompanying passion fruit gastrique].”

We finished the meal with an assortment of desserts plated so beautifully it reminded me of a Kandinskimobile. Our hands-down favorites were the earthy cardamom carrot cake with candied ginger and the fun and absolutely delicious homemade ice cream and sorbet sampler. The flavors on the latter change daily, but our medley, which included blueberry cheesecake as well as peanut butter ice creams along with a cabernet-blackberry sorbetanda lemongrass, apple and agave one, will give you an idea of the delectable creativity at work at 10Below.

Join Harmony4Women & Sing for Your Sisters

International of Bend and the American Association of University Women (AAUW ), Bend Branch.

Harmony4Women is an eight week education in music and acappella styling, directed by long-time, amazingly talented acappella musical director, Connie Norman. The singers learn so much, and are able to perform amazingly well after only 10 rehearsals. Said one singer, “I truly did love the H4W experience! Connie, you were an amazing director! While singing with other choruses, the director seemed like a remote figure, more like a human metronome than someone to really focus on. You, on the other hand, made it difficult to not watch you. This was difficult before I learned my lyrics and notes, but was truly amazing in November -- I never took my eyes off you, and was rewarded for that by being totally “with” you!” -- Pris B. Central Oregon Women and girls 11-90 years old should plan to join these four dynamic groups in an amazing, unique singing experience, and in supporting our less fortunate sisters.

ave you ever wanted to sing on stage, but chose to sing in the shower or in your car instead? Now is the time to develop your singing and your stage presence in a unique opportunity called Harmony4Women (H4W). On September 18 women and teen girls from all over Central Oregon are invited to attend a singer sign-up party, to be held at the Southeast Bend home of Linda and Tom Gardner, 22055 Rickard Road, Bend.

The event will run from 5:30-7:30pm and potential singers will be treated to an explanation of the program and a sampling of 4-part harmony, acappella music. Refreshments will be provided, and carpooling is encouraged. A singer fee will help defray music licensing, printing and practice CD’s. The chorus will perform November 22 at the Tower Theatre.

In its fifth year, Harmony4Women’s goal is to educate, nurture, support and inspire women and audiences in Central Oregon while uniting women from all our communities and culminating in a crowd pleasing fundraising concert. With grantors and sponsors helping with expenses, the concert ticket sales and donations benefit the partner organizations, all involved in helping women and girls through education, training and inspiration.

The 4 in the middle of Harmony4Women refers to the 4-part harmony sung by the group, as well as the 4 partner women’s groups it benefits: Bella Acappella Harmony Chorus, Grandma’s House of Central Oregon, Soroptimist Harmony4Women’s Singer’s Party

S

tarry Nights’ Wine, Women and Song brings together three criticallyacclaimed singer-songwriters who are considered Nashville songwriting royalty – Matraca Berg, Gretchen Peters and Suzy Bogguss - for an intimate, acoustic evening of songs, stories, laughter and fine wine. Reminiscent of a show one might see at Nashville’s renowned Bluebird Café, Wine, Women and Song will be held at The Belfry in the heart of downtown Sisters on Saturday, November 15. The event is a benefit for the Sisters Schools Foundation.

Doors open at 6:30pm where guests can bid on silent auction items and enjoy hors d’oeuvres prepared by students of the Sisters High School Culinary Arts program, under the guidance of their teacher T.R. McCrystal, renowned chef and co-owner of Jen’s Garden in Sisters, and fine wines courtesy of Eola Hills Wine Cellars.

The music begins at 7:30pm, with an intermission featuring a live auction and paddle raise in support of Sisters schools. After the concert, the artists will join the audience at The Belfry for dessert, coffee and a chance to sign CDs. Matraca Berg’s songs have practically become the soundtrack of contemporary Nashville. Reba McEntire’s The Last One to Know, Patty Loveless’ I’m That Kind of Girl, Trisha Yearwood’s Wrong Side of Memphis and XXX’s and OOO’s, Suzy Bogguss’ Hey Cinderella, Martina McBride’s Wild Angels, The Dixie Chicks’ If I Fall You’re Going Down With Me and more than 50 other covers of her songs have made her one of the most recorded composers in Music City.

Recent highlights include the Kenny Chesney/Grace Potter hit You and Tequila, which received a Grammy nomination in 2012 and Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris’ stunning rendition of Berg’s Back When We Were Beautiful, on their 2013 Grammy-winning album Old Yellow Moon. Berg was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2008.

One of the most acclaimed female country singers of the late ‘80s and ‘90s, Suzy Bogguss was able to balance country tradition with a contemporary mainstream sensibility, thereby satisfying both audiences and critics. Among her many hits are Someday Soon, Letting Go, Outbound Plane, Aces, Drive South

T

and Hey Cinderella.

She was named Best New Female Artist at the Academy of Country Music Awards in 1989, winning the Country Music Association’s Horizon Award in 1992 and a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album for her contribution to Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster. Bogguss’ most recent releases –2011’s American Folk Songbook, a collection of folk classics and the 2014 album Lucky, a tribute to Merle Haggard – have both received critical acclaim.

Gretchen Peters is known as a writer of intelligent and introspective songs in the country/folk/pop vein, with such artists as Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis, George Strait, Martina McBride and Patty Loveless covering her material. Peters received her first Grammy nomination for Song of the Year in 1995 for Independence Day, a smash hit for McBride. At the Country Music Awards that year, the song took home the same award, as well as a CMA Video of the Year in 1994.

She was nominated again for a Song of the Year Grammy with the Loveless chart-topper You Don’t Even Know Who I Am. Her many other country hits include On a Bus to St. Cloud for Trisha Yearwood and The Secret of Life for Faith Hill. 2011 saw the release of the live DVD Wine, Women and Song with pals Bogguss and Berg. Peters released a studio album of her own new material in 2012 entitled Hello Cruel World.

Since its inception in 1997, Starry Nights has raised more than a million dollars in net proceeds for the Sisters Schools Foundation and has funded a multitude of programs including music, art, drama, science, sports, math, technology, foreign language, IEE and outdoor school.

Seating is limited, tickets $75, www.sistersstarrynights.org starting October 1, 541-549-6299

New Perspective for September by Eileen Lock

elationships become important this month as a healing of the heart begins. Thinking about you first on the 5th could feel awkward as it may be a new approach. Expect to change your mind during the Full Moon on the 8th as you may feel the need for privacy. Conversations could feel challenging during this time simply because so much has changed.

Take it slow near the 10th as you are making lots of adjustments. Be mindful when you speak on the 12th as you may be a bit edgy. A burst of energy on the 13th will get you going and you start to remember how much Love is in your life. Enjoy yourself during the next few days as you begin to notice yourself relaxing. Make space for healing on the 17th and appreciate whatever is taking place in your life.

Take time to celebrate something on the 21st and give yourself credit for making it through some very changing times. It’s time to let go of the old ways and begin discovering what the future holds.

The New Moon on the 23rd invites you to spend time with those who Love you and let yourself feel supported. Opportunities are exciting on the 25th and it will be important to say YES to what’s happening. The last few days of the month could find you saying Good-bye to someone or something. Open your heart to what is ahead of you and remember to make your happiness a priority.

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