Indie Women & BendFilm Share a Passion

N

otes from the Publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews

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 contemplate along with a chance to meet innovative and hopeful filmmakers who are sure to find a spot in history.

Three years ago, several local women 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. The group is appropriately called Independent Women for Independent Film.

Money raised is also needed to fund valuable festival activities such as filmmaker visits, lectures and workshops, as well as attendee gatherings that have helped to make the BendFilm festival successful in past years.

With three years and more than $30,000 under our belt, we are well on our way to raising another $10,000 that will help the festival’s inspirational director, Todd Looby, put on another fabulous festival in 2015. Please see the Indie ad on page 20 for a list of current members,

which is constantly growing.

Independent Women for Independent Film is a really unique initiative. Todd says he doesn’t know of another film festival that has this kind of support from the community and especially from women community leaders. The founder of the “Film Fatales” network was extremely impressed with the support Bend showed for women directors. Founded in New York City in 2013 Film Fatales is a collective of female feature directors who meet regularly to mentor each other, collaborate on projects and create a supportive community in which to make their films.

They now want to do something with BendFilm every year. Todd says: “Most people don’t know how truly bad the gender disparity is among industry directors. Film Fatales is working to change that. As with most things, when big corporations see independent creators thriving and see films made from a women’s perspective that people pay money to see, they do follow. You all are helping that cause.

“Our filmmakers do take notice when they are helped. For the past two years I’ve invited Lynn Shelton to come back to Bend. Lynn won the Faerie Godmother award at BendFilm 2007 for her first film We Go Way Back. She remembers that clearly. It impacted her career at a time when she needed a boost.

Lynn now directs A-listers like Keira Knightley and directs TV shows that

need a unique female voice behind the camera.

“As a filmmaker, I can attest that these signs of appreciation and support we receive at film festivals are the things that keep us going when everything else tells us to quit. So thank you again for funding “ceiling breakers” and making a difference in the careers of emerging artists!”

If you want to join Indie Women and continue our effort to help women filmmakers please contact me at pamela@cascadebusnews.com or just send a check made out to BendFilm to me at 404 NE Norton Ave., Bend, OR 97701 or, even quicker, go online to bendfilm.org and make a $100 contribution and send me an email so I can add you to our group!

We give in order to continue the amazing tradition of BendFilm.

Marlene Alexander Featured in Palette

Oregon artist Marlene Alexander creates exciting series focused on broken eggs and is featured in Palette Magazine. The three page photo spread goes into depth about her inspirations and techniques for her latest works. She proves that beauty can be found all around us, including every day objects and surroundings.

“I live in the high desert of Oregon, and the bold shapes, open skies and vastness of the surrounding landscape have provided me with inspiring subject matter,” says Alexander. “I’ve spent years outside painting its beauty, but recently, as I was in the kitchen cracking open a few eggs for breakfast, I tossed the shells in the sink on a paper towel. While glancing at the broken egg shells and marveling over their simple, bold shapes, I was struck by the thought of making these simple shapes into a series of paintings.”

She has created beautifully flat pieces that make negative space just as important as the positive. She’s interested in exploring these ordinary objects and exposing their complexity. Her inspirations seem to have found her, rather than the other way around. http://tumaloartco.com/other-gallery-artists/ marlene-moore-alexander/ Local Artists Accepted in Watercolor Society of Oregon Four artists from Central Oregon had paintings accepted into the fall show, juried by Ratinda Das, a Dolphin Fellow and signature member of AWS and NWS as well as several other societies. This year’s fall show and convention will be at the Eastern Oregon Higher Ed Center at Blue Mountain Community College in Hermiston, Oregion October 2-30.

The artists are Winnie Givot of Sisters, Judy Hoiness of Bend, Steve Rothert of Bend and Sandra Neary of La Pine.

Marjorie Wood Hamlin One Woman Show Bend artist Marjorie Wood Hamlin is the new acquisition at Collector’s Gallery in the venerable arts community of Carmel, California.

Tamara Agassi, gallery owner, was immediately impressed by the unique style of her abstracts and for her extraordinary use of copper and gold foil using adhesive and non adhesive surfaces. She will have 25 works at the opening of her one woman show on September 4.

Marjorie has exhibited in galleries and shows locally and throughout the west. Her environmental abstracts video has been shown in Spain and at the United Nations as part of the International Women’s Month event of the Women’s Caucus for Art in March.

Cultural Development Grants Awarded

Statewide cultural organizations will receive a record $2.6 million in grants from the Oregon Cultural Trust in fiscal year 2015-16, up a full 30 percent over last year and surpassing $2 million for the first time. The dramatic increase in

encore

funding results from a record fundraising year and a new distribution formula approved by the Oregon legislature.

Among the 84 recipients of Cultural Development Grants is Deschutes County Historical Society which operates the Deschutes Historical Museum, where Trust funding will support the upcoming exhibit Winter Comes: Oregon’s Nordic Ski Heritage.

“We are extremely grateful to members of the legislature for giving us the flexibility to provide deeper support to the groups who ensure Oregon’s cultural vitality,” said Cultural Trust Executive Director Brian Rogers. “The increased funds will allow them to have an even greater impact on creating the quality of life we Oregonians expect and appreciate.”

Central Oregon Grants: Arts Central, Bend (Capacity): $12,296 Central Oregon Creative Economy Development: o support the creation of an actionable plan to enhance the Central Oregon cultural economy.

Deschutes County Historical Society, Bend (Preservation): $14,164 to support Winter Comes: Oregon’s Nordic Ski History in 2016.

High Desert Museum, Bend (Access): $16,645 Arts for the People: to support an exhibit exploring the history and cultural legacy of the Works Progress Administration

Sisters Folk Festival Receives Generous Grant Support

Sisters Folk Festival Inc. (SFF) received three grant awards recently all focused on providing second-year funding for a re-alignment and expansion of staff for the organization. In 2014, SFF hired Ann Richardson as managing director allowing Brad Tisdel, the former executive director, to assume the role of creative director and focus his skills and attention on what he does best, managing the growing presence of the Americana Project in the Sisters public schools and booking fabulous musicians for SFF events.

SFF received a grant of $12,500 from the Irene Gerlinger Swindells Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) for the second and final year to increase organizational capacity. SFF received a $15,000 grant, which is the final installment of a Meyer Memorial Trust (MMT), grassroots grant totaling $40,000 also in support of the Managing Director position.

SFF received a $6,337 Operating Support grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, a state agency funded by the State of Oregon and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Local Writer Honored

Bend-area writer Lauren Davis Baker was recently honored when her equestrian-themed blog Dressage for Mere Mortals received a Top 50 Horse Blogs Award by Horseclicks.com, a national website dedicated to promoting equine products and services.

Baker began the website in April 2015 to connect with riders sharing the highs and lows of attempting to learn the extremely technical equestrian sport of dressage. Dressage is one of the English riding disciplines featured in the Olympics, frequently referred to as ‘dancing with horses.’ Baker studies dressage with trainer Natalie Perry of Tumalo, OR riding a leased horse named Micah.

Baker began publishing Flying Changes Magazine, a monthly Northwest Sporthorse publication, in 1994, writing numerous articles to promote the region›s riders, horses, events, and services. In 2014 she sold the publication and branched out as a freelance writer.

ounder and owner of Conscious Ink Frank Gjata has spent years as a life coach thinking of unique ways to keep clients and himself focused on their goals and intentions. He has started a business that takes the fun idea of designing temporary tattoos and combines it with positive insight. Inspiration for Conscious Ink manifested when Gjata’s daughter brought home a gift bag from a party that contained temporary tattoos.

While he was wearing one of these tattoos, he began to think about the kind of impact that could manifest if there were temporary tattoos readily available to imprint positive messages on the body.

Conscious Ink’s mission is to spread love and raise consciousness around the world, one body at a time. They offer manifestation temporary tattoos that are safe, non-toxic and made with FDA certified colorants. Every Conscious Ink manifestation tattoo is made entirely in the USA, and each tattoo features empowering words, quotes and affirmations that help to motivate and inspire.

September | www.CascadeAE.com

Think of other self motivation tools you have seen. It is similar to that of leaving notes on your mirror so that you are able to visualize your goals every day. With these messages having direct contact on your body, Gjata believes the messages have even more impact. Whatever you want to manifest can now be tangible.

Users of Conscious Ink tattoos have a variety of ways to work on themselves and their goals. The tattoos can be for motivation, grieving, healing, rewarding or just for fun.

Tattoos can be bought individually, in packs of eight or as a starter kit filled with ten of their most popular tattoos. All of these options are under $25.

Why temporary tattoos you might ask?

Having the tattoos be temporary allows users to switch out messages for themselves as their goals or needs change. “With permanent tattoos, the significance of the message may fade as time goes on. The manifestation tattoos from Conscious Ink can change as we do, and therefore we can appreciate them even more,” says Gjata. This in the moment method allows appreciation to be fluid and adaptable, just as life is. www.consciousink.com

Avenue Q The Musical —What’s The Fuzz All About?

F

rom the composer of Book of Mormon and Stage Right Productions, the nonprofit that operates 2nd Street Theater and who brought us Spamalot, comes Avenue Q The Musical at the Tower Theatre September 11-19.

Don’t miss this politically incorrect comedy (definitely not for children!) about college grads and potty-mouth puppets looking for love, jobs and their purpose in the big city. Winner of the Tony Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. We interviewed a few of the fuzzy thespians last week; here’s what they had to say about coming to Bend.

Tower: How did you discover Avenue Q? Nicky: By accident, I was exploring a new monster drug called FozzHair, it’s a strain of pot (which is legal now) that makes you talk only in puns and induces severe short term memory loss...what was the question?

Kate Monster: It is the only neighborhood I could afford on a teaching salary.

Lucy: I was hired to sing in a dive bar in Pennsylvania. I found a special friend to keep me occupied there until he got too clingy and I tossed him aside.

I am too fabulous for just one man.

Next week, I’ll make an appearance on Avenue A, where the men can handle a girl with expensive tastes.

Tower: What is your most embarrassing moment?

Nicky: In seventh grade my pants fell down while I was performing as the bad boy love interest in Erin Brockovich the Musical. I mean, it was mortifying. I don’t have legs, or anything, THERE’S NOTHING THERE! Kate Monster: Trekkie and I were doing laundry and he saw my grannie panties. It was SO awkward. He called me Grannie Panty Kate for a month!

Lucy: One night my spike heel caught on a man’s belt loop while I was dancing, and I slipped and tore the back of my head. So embarrassing! An emergency seamstress had to be called in to give me stitches.

Tower: How long have you been performing?

Nicky: Since seventh grade, but I

took a short hiatus to deal with my pantless PTSD. Kate Monster: I’ve been performing cartwheels for my students for two years!

Tower: Describe your worst date: Nicky: I was cooking for a girl and got green hairs in her tiramisu.

Kate Monster: Princeton took me to see this performer…Lucy I think…it was terrible because he kept staring at her furry chest, rude!

Lucy: Some monster who watched porn on the Internet the whole evening.

He was all fur and no action.

Tower: Would you ever consider eHarmony?

Nicky: Not for me, but I did sign up my best friend. Breaking the news to him might be a challenge, but I’ll do it in song—singing is the best form of delivery.

Kate Monster: No way! Not since Trekkie told me what the Internet is really used for!

Lucy: A dating site? Look at me. I have so many little black books I had to build a library and learn the Dewey Decimal System.

Tower: What is a fact that nobody knows about you?

Nicky: I watch The Little Mermaid every night and hope that I wake up with legs.

Lucy: My belly button used to be an outie. It was fun, but it affected my sleek line in my skintight clothing, so I had it altered.

Tower: Which celebrity would you most like to have a cup of coffee with?

Nicky: Richard Gere circa 1983.

Kate Monster: Helen Keller. She’s such an inspiration, and I bet she would have a lot to say.

Lucy: Adam Levine could bring me coffee in bed in the morning.

Tower: What is your favorite karaoke song?

Nicky: Otis Redding: Shout.

Kate Monster: My students and I like to sing the ABCs in three part harmony.

Lucy: Def Leppard: Pour Some Sugar On Me. Tower: What are your thoughts on Taylor Swift?

Nicky: Shake It Off has become my theme song and my roommate, Rod, listens to her constantly—in his closet.

Kate Monster: I think she has really great hair, unlike her choice in men.

Lucy: She’s okay and all, but she’s no Lucy.

Tower: Who would you like to see as the next President?

Nicky: Richard Gere Kate Monster: Princeton, he doesn’t know what his purpose is either!

Lucy: Miss Piggy. She has an impressive, um, platform.

Tower: Why are you looking forward to performing at the Tower?

Nicky: I get to relate with the audience regarding real life scenarios even though they are real people and I am but fur.

Kate Monster: I hear it’s Bend’s living room, but I’m confused about where they fit all of the couches!

Lucy: Ray Solley is a hunk.

Don’t miss your chance to see the rest of the cast. Tickets are on sale now. Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx.

Book by Jeff Whitty. Based on the original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International. Avenue Q is individually sponsored by Mountain View Heating, and is part of the Tower’s Marquee Series sponsored by BendBroadband. Membership, program information and individual and group tickets are available at the box office (835 NW Wall), by phone (541-317-0700) or online (www.towertheatre.org).

Evening performances begin at 7:30pm. This includes two Thursday shows. There are two Sunday matinees that begin at 2pm.

There is usually a need for volunteers to help building and/or painting sets, be part of the running crew, or to work the front of the house during performances.

O

shows and two All Aspects Teen Theatre productions. Visit www. cascadestheatrical.org or request a CTC season brochure from the box office, or find one on display at partner locations around town for a comprehensive view of CTC’s schedule.

Auditions for the musical, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, will be held at CTC Monday and Tuesday, September 21 and 22. See the Call to Artists section of this publication for more information.

In addition to productions, CTC also hosts the improvisational group, Triage. This month they will have two shows on Friday September 4. A family-friendly one begins at 7pm. A second show, for mature audiences, will be presented at 9pm.

Tickets are $5 at the door. $20 for adults, seniors (60+) $16, and students $13. Purchase online at www.cascadestheatrical.org or at 541-389-0803. Thursday September 17 is Preview Night, when the final dress rehearsal can be seen for $10 paid at the door.

Theater of the Mind Coming to Sunriver

nce upon a time, radio was the center of attention in the homes of many American families. Broadcasts provided news and entertainment, including hugely popular programs of comedy and drama.

In October, the Sunriver STARS community theater group will reopen what was called The Theater of the Mind, using original scripts from those radio broadcasts. The focus will be on mystery and suspense, interspersed with recreations of commercials many of us still remember.

On Tuesday, September 8 from 6pm9pm, STARS will hold auditions for actors interested in bringing these great dramas to life. Auditions will be held in Room 208 in the Sunriver Business Park, above the Village Properties office.

There are numerous parts to be played, and since actors will read from scripts, the focus will be on vocal characterization. There are also opportunities for singers to come together and recreate the bouncy jingles of the past which have stuck in listener’s minds for decades.

A keyboard player who can back the singers and improvise dramatic music to create atmosphere and punctuate the action is needed and a good whistler who will recreate the haunting theme from the classic suspense radio suspense series The Whistler from which the presentation Stranger In The House will be taken.

Performances of Theater of the Mind will be October 23, 24 and 25 at the SHARC. SusansPacas@yahoo.com sunrivermike@msn.com

t’s common knowledge that with budget cuts throughout the educational sector, arts programs are the first to get the axe.

The demand for math and science programs, which are equally as important, has skyrocketed, leaving the arts to fend for themselves. We don’t often hear details about the struggle to keep these incredibly enriching programs afloat, but a recent conversation with two key members of Arts Central, Cate O’Hagan and Deborah Allen, has shed light on all of the amazing things the arts can do for children and adults alike.

Arts Central has been supporting the arts for over two decades through arts education and outreach. In a given year, Arts Central’s trained teaching artists can reach more than 7,000 children through the Artists in Schools program, VanGo mobile art studio and classes at the Art Station.

Arts Central’s purpose is to inspire

16

September | www.CascadeAE.com

creativity through arts education and to advocate for integration of the arts in all aspects of community life in Central Oregon. They accomplish this through three distinct initiatives: arts education, advocacy and cultural trust, and receive support for services from the Oregon Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Art Central is dedicated to caring for the artists and instructors they employ. “The artists we hire have at least a bachelors degree in the arts, and many have a masters,” says Art Education Director Deborah Allen.

“These are incredibly talented, skilled artists who have held their own exhibitions and have worked in the art industry for years.” Because of the highly trained staff, Arts Central firmly believes in paying their artists more than just a living wage. Majority of the tuition for classes provided by Arts Central is given directly to the instructors.

Something else that makes Arts Central truly unique is their involvement with other local nonprofits. Partnerships with camps

and organizations, like Mary’s House and Saving Grace, bring both art and healing within the community.

“The arts are incredibly therapeutic,” says Executive Director Cate O’Hagan. “It is important to care for ourselves, and working through conflict with art is really a way of feeding the soul.” The art programs provided to children in distressed circumstances has been wildly effective.

“We provide a type of consistency for them. But it’s also giving them a voice that they do not always have. It is a sense of control that may not be there in their everyday life, and that has a huge impact on these kids,” says Allen.

Arts Central is also responsible for giving out various scholarships for kids and adults so that they may pursue the arts on their terms. The children who have received awards in the past have gone on to truly blossom in every aspect of their lives.

“Watching these kids completely turn their lives around is such a rewarding experience. There is so much that can be healed through art, and we want

to be able to continue providing that to people,” Allen comments.

There are countless other stories that prove the positive impact Arts Central has on the community and beyond. As a nonprofit organization, the majority of funds that Arts Central uses to make these programs a reality is gained through donations and fundraisers.

The annual Black & White fundraiser is by far the biggest source of funds for Arts Central, and should not be an event to miss.

“Our fundraiser provides money for everything that is not already covered by tuition or grants, so it is incredibly important to us,” states O’Hagan.

This fun social event features food, wine, entertainment and fabulous prizes that will be auctioned off. It is going to be an incredibly special event, and donations as well as volunteers are always welcomed.

If you are interested in supporting Arts Central in their efforts in community and artistic development, the Black & White event will take place September 20 at the Tetherow Golf Club and Resort.

Black & White Dinner Auction Supporting Arts Central’s Art Education Programs Arts Central announces that its largest annual fundraiser, the Black & White auction and dinner event, will be held on Sunday, September 20 from 4-8pm at Tetherow Golf Club and Resort in Bend.

Combining fine food and wine with friendly bidding in silent and live auctions, the Black & White has been one of Central Oregon’s signature fundraising events for 18 years running. The evening’s auctions will feature works by acclaimed regional artists, one-of-a-kind trips and experiences, sparkling jewelry, staycations and much more. All proceeds directly support Arts Central’s mission to enrich the cultural community and bring invaluable arts education to students in schools throughout Central Oregon.

This year’s event will be held in a 9,000 square foot tent on the terrace of Tetherow Golf Club and Resort; a first for the Black & White. According to event co-chair and Arts Central Board President Bert Kronmiller, “Tetherow offers a stunning backdrop for our organization’s most important fundraiser. With gorgeous works of art, golf packages, world travel and more up for auction, we are looking forward to an unforgettable and successful evening benefitting Central Oregon’s only nonprofit visual arts school.”

Black & White tickets are available for $95 each or $950 for a table of ten and can be purchased by calling the Black & White hotline at 541-633-7242 or by visiting www.artscentraloregon.org/events.

Corporate sponsorships are also available, starting at $1,000.

A Spectrum of Color for Art Central’s Black & White

B

Wavelengths by Bill Hoppe

ill Hoppe has spent 14 years in Bend honing his artistic craft and sharing it with others. He has received several prestigious awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Fellowship for drawing in 1981, and is currently teaching classes at COCC.

His deep connection with the Bend community is the reason he decided to donate his work to Art Central’s Black & White fundraiser. Since the year 2000, Hoppe has been a board member for Arts Central, and has curated shows and galleries for them as well. “My birthday is coming up in October, so when Cate approached me about the artwork, I felt that it was the perfect opportunity to celebrate with the Bend community and give back to it,” says Hoppe.

His series Wavelengths is inspired by the diagram of the electro magnetic spectrum. Hoppe feels that his piece poetically plays out the colors and light that humans are capable of seeing, by laying out the images with cool tones, running into warmer ones and back to cool again. “They are meant to be seen in a sequence. Although they are individual paintings, I view them collectively as one piece,” Hoppe explains. Although he likes to create larger scale pieces, these smaller watercolor prints are more accessible to the public and were a change of pace to from his usual work.

Hoppe was eager to contribute his artwork to the Black & White fundraiser. “It is incredibly important to me to be able to support all of the arts, especially visual arts,” states Hoppe. His work will also be on view for the public in the Old Mill at the beginning of October.

In her show, Between Here and There…Closing the Divide with Color, she strives to capture a joie de vivre in her vivid portrayals of the places she loves—the high desert of Central Oregon, the Adriatic Coast of central Italy and the south of France.

Her work reflects her preoccupation with the color and shape of things, of landscapes, of details in the ordinary components of life, which call to be altered, and to be represented in unexpected ways. She deconstructs the various elements of her compositions, simplifying them, and distorting the perspective, blending sophistication with primitive simplicity.

An Oasis of Art in Harney County’s High Desert

or several years, an art gallery was a gleam in the eye of Kate Marsh, ceramic artist, poet and photographer. Last year she joined forces with potter Fred Pelroy, who needed a place to throw pots instead of in the middle of his living room.

The two searched in earnest for a proper studio in Burns. After looking at possibilities on and around the main street in town, they found a five-room, former tattoo parlor that was painted red on the inside and staked their claim.

Kate drew up the papers for an artist cooperative and Gallery 15 was born. Core members and patrons helped to rip out an inside wall, paint over yellow and red ceilings and walls and repair the interior. They painted the exterior wood deep blue, aqua and lime green. Beautiful glass display cases magically appeared.

Juried members brought artwork

to sell. Art includes watercolor, acrylics, ceramics, pastels, watagami, jewelry, fiber and fabric art, books, photography, metal art and quilts.

On July 1, Gallery 15 opened for business. August 28 was the first featured artist reception for batik watercolorist Linda Peterson of La Grande.

The Gallery participates in Burns’ new First Thursday events. Says Marsh, “Our focus at Gallery 15 is to represent fine art and fine crafts from Eastern Oregon. Showcasing local artists as well as featuring highend regional artists will make our gallery a small art mecca in our wide expanse of high desert. This is for our community and our visitors, both.”

Gallery 15, open Wednesday through Sunday, 10am-6pm. 76 East Washington St., Burns www.artinburns.com

Tiny Hey Project about to Give its First Big Hello

by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer

I

f you haven’t heard the buzz about a new arts project that is about to come to life in Bend, here’s the scoop. The project Tiny Hey, a brainchild of Angela Reid, is all about a little hello, a quick connection and a small reminder that we all have stories to tell. Tiny Hey is a progressive postcard-writing exchange between neighborhoods in Bend.

The distinctive mailbox stands at a local business each month, where community members can pick up a free postcard, write an anonymous letter on the current theme and drop it into the box. The following month, the mailbox will move to a new location and the postcards will be shared online.

Reid first developed the idea through her volunteer work at The

Bethlehem Inn, a shelter that gives homeless individuals the opportunity to have a safe space to get back on their feet. Reid learned about the overall mission of this vital establishment within the community, and had a very eye opening experience.

“There is a stereotype where we view homelessness as something that is scary and unlike us, where in reality, many stories I have heard hit very close to home,” says Reid. “People may have fallen behind on a mortgage, lost their source of income or perhaps a spouse.

These are people who many times are invisible but have just as many stories as anyone else.”

It was with this realization that Reid moved forward on a project that would give everyone throughout the community the same opportunity to share their story anonymously with someone else. “Bend is a place where a lot of enriching, new ideas are

openly embraced. My hope is that by providing a mailbox that changes locations each month, I will be able to reach out to people that I don’t know all across the city of Bend,” Reid adds. The connection would then be established for the entire community, rather than just a select few places downtown.

The storytelling aspect of this project is only half of the overall plan. Tiny Hey is reaching out to the art community as well, asking artists to submit artwork, no bigger than 11”x11”, that will be featured at a Tiny Art Show in October. The artwork will then be featured on the postcards for people to write their stories on. This combination of art and storytelling is what makes Tiny Hey truly unique. It is an art project that will also positively impact many people who choose to interact with it.

Reid’s short-term goal is to simply

their long term and urban renewal planning processes. The award event will take place at Redmond City Hall on October 8 from 5pm-7pm.

The public is invited to attend.

According to Arts Central Executive Director and Deschutes

Cultural Coalition Chair Cate O’Hagan, “Not that long ago, the only public sculpture in Redmond was the eagle at the Redmond airport. Redmond’s downtown redevelopment transformed the urban core from careworn to a vital and vibrant heart of the city. Their aesthetic considerations imbedded in their urban renewal process serves well as an inspiration for other cities.”

Redmond city leadership has worked hard to celebrate its heritage and marry it with the innovative, forward-thinking and family-friendly community that is Redmond today.

“We have done that by blending the old and the new and utilizing local artists and craftsmen to focus on design details—such as the public art, streetscape and architectural renovations—to help define and celebrate our own authentic sense of place, bringing to life the stories and talents of this amazing community,” comments Community Development

make Tiny Hey a reality. As it begins to grow, she hopes that the project will be a fun way for people to talk to each other. “Everyone should be heard, and this is a creative outlet that gives that opportunity to the whole community.”

MART, Start Making A Reader Today and Umpqua Bank present the fifth annual SMART Art: Show, Sale, Social on October 22, 5:30pm at Kendall Toyota on Third Street in Bend.

In 2014, nearly 100 people attended this fabulous event and had a wonderful time helping raise money to support SMART programs in Pre-K-third grade classrooms across Central Oregon. SMART Art is a family oriented, entertaining event including a children’s art contest sponsored by Cascade Arts & Entertainment. The event features displays of book inspired art pieces by children, raffles, a wine wall and live music provided by Lori Fletcher of Deco Moon Jazz.

SMART Art is not only a fundraiser but also a friend-raiser.

For the past 23 years SMART volunteers in Central Oregon have read with children at local

SMART Art: Show, Sale, Social elementary schools inspiring a love of reading and ultimately, giving kids the support they need to read confidently and fluently by the third grade. This school year they are reading to children at several new school sites in Central Oregon which means they will need upwards of 100 additional volunteers to provide this very important support to children.

SMART Volunteers commit to one hour per week reading one-onone with children in local schools.

Attendees of SMART Art will learn more about volunteering to read one hour a week with children in Central Oregon.

“Volunteers who give the gift of their time are helping SMART realize the vision of an Oregon where every child can read and is empowered to succeed,” said Sue Stephens, SMART senior program manager.

Admission to this event is $10 or a new, hardcover children’s

book to add to our school based permanent collections.

RSVP recommended, 541355-5600 or dturnbull@ getSMARToregon.org.

For 23 years SMART, Start Making A Reader Today, has partnered with schools around the state, engaging community volunteers to read one-on-one with Pre-k-third grade children, helping to strengthen literacy skills and encourage a love of reading. SMART has steadily grown to become Oregon’s largest volunteer literacy program. In the 2015-16 school year, in Central Oregon alone, we will serve nearly 700 children with the help of more than 400 community volunteers. Children in the program receive 14 new books throughout the school year to keep and read with their families.

When viewing the depth of skill and talent demonstrated in the acrylic paintings of artist Chuck Chamberlain, it is difficult to reconcile those painting with the serendipitous way in which his career in fine art began. At the age of 30, he was regifted a “Famous Artist’s” painting course by his sister. After four lessons, he was hooked. It is easy to recognize his New England background in the variety of painting subjects that draw his attention. Back roads, fishing, hunting, barns and covered bridges are excellent opportunities for Chuck to demonstrate his in depth observations of light and color.

Rhythm In Vision – High Desert Art League at Sunriver Resort

T

he Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery continues Rhythm in Vision by members of the High Desert Art League (HDAL)through September 25 in the upper and lower galleries.

Exhibiting HDAL members include Cindy Briggs, Helen Brown, Cameron Kaseberg, David Kinker, Jacqueline Newbold, Vivian Olsen, Janice Rhodes, Barbara Slater and Joren Traveller.

Watercolor is the chosen medium for four members. Briggs, award winner featured in Watercolor Magazine, America’s Best of Watercolorists and recognized by Daniel Smith Watercolors as a Master of Color, presents vibrant paintings of sunflowers.

Brown uses batik on rice paper in her painting Curb Appeal, chosen in 2014 for publication in Splash 16, the Best of Watercolor. The batik technique involves brushing molten wax on areas of the paper to prevent

watercolor from adhering, later removing the wax to apply other colors.

Newbold’s watercolors capture images from her travels in Europe and other destinations. Her popular The Jacqueline Newbold Watercolor Travel Kit provides the needed supplies, including a journal, to record memorable scenes.

Olson, HDAL president and wildlife artist, exhibits luminous watercolors of quail, barn owls and wolves. All illustrate her expertise in depicting wild lif e ’s u n i q u e appearance and postures.

T h r e e H D A L members work in other traditional mediums of acrylic and oil. A painter of landscape

and murals, Kinker expresses his attraction to abstraction in his richlyhued acrylic paintings of intricate geometric designs. His murals appear at the Tower Theatre and St. Charles Health Center.

Frequently featured on the cover of Ranch and Country and shown at a recent Oil Painters of America exhibition, Slater paints her beloved subject of animals. Her opulent oils depicting a curious goat and a content ewe with lambs reveal this affection.

Oil painter Traveller also favors an animal theme. An accomplished sculptor of horses, she shows this

subject but also broadens her imagery to paint scenes of climbers at Smith Rock.

Both Kaseberg and Rhodes use non-traditional mediums. Kaseberg presents labor-intensive solvent transfers completed by chemically dissolving magazine inks and his own photographic imagery and transferring them to clayboard.

Oregon Public Broadcasting recently featured the artist on Art Beat.

Rhodes exhibits the ancient and challenging technique of encaustic involving the use of heated beeswax, mixed with resin infused with highlycolored pigments. She presents the diverse genres of abstraction and realism with her playful triptych of a summer beach scene.

Billye Turner, art consultant, organizes the art exhibits for Sunriver Resort, open all hours to the public.

Everything Blossoms at Dandelion Ranch

by JEFF SPRY CascadeAE Feature Writer

Dandelion Ranch is a cozy new gift boutique blossoming in the heart of downtown Sisters.

Owner Lisa VandenBrink owned a similar store in Salida, Colorado and relocated to the Bend area to be closer to family just six weeks ago.

“Our first priority was to get this store up and running again,” she said.“We chose Sisters because it was so close to that same type of quaint small town in Colorado where we lived. These places are special. You begin to have an intimate relationship with your customers with this sort of location.”

Her comfortable new shop is filled with a little bit of everything, from wearable handbags, handcrafted aprons and heirloom pillows, to birdhouses and whimsical melamine tableware made to imitate paper plates, embellished with honey bees.

“I never wanted to put all my eggs in one basket so I carry a large variety of distinctive items you might not see anywhere else. “ Vanden Brink’s country-style emporium also displays an impressive selection of charming windchimes, garden planters, outdoor mirrors and patio statuettes to adorn your yard with.

LOCAL ARTISTS DONATE SCLUPTURES TO REDMOND’S PERMANENT ART COLLECTION he City of Redmond recently accepted the donation of three sculptures to its permanent art collection. The donations were made by local artists who have participated in Redmond’s Art Around the Clock outdoor public art gallery program and work is still on display: Papoose by Greg Congleton valued at $18,900, Rain Tree by Robert Fouse valued at $5,000 and Iris Bronze by Jerry Werner, valued at $3,200.

“Since 2002 Redmond has played an important role in launching my sculpting career and why I am pleased to donate Papoose to the city’s collection,” states artist Congleton.

With discounted purchases and donated art, the Art Around the Clock program has cost the City of Redmond $15,000 and has yielded $75,000 of permanent sculptural art for Redmond’s public art program, resulting in a $4 return for every $1 invested.

“Redmond started its public art program in 2006 with a donation from Phil and Penny Knight, Air Traffic Control, a sculpture by Greg Congleton,” states Heather Richards, community development director.

“Over the years we have continued to build our public art program primarily through donations. Redmond is blessed to not only be surrounded by such a diverse and creative artist community but also to have such generous benefactors contributing to our public art program.”

St. Charles Hospital—Redmond 1253 NW Canal Blvd. www.curlewphoto.com Local photographer Gary Wing photographs.

Wing grew up in western Montana, and it was there in the Rocky Mountains he developed a love of the outdoors, either hiking or riding his horse in the mountains behind his house. Moving to Redmond in 1959 and graduating from Redmond Union High School in 1964, he developed a passion for the desert country and the Cascade Range.

After graduating from OSU, Wing had a career as a biologist and also worked as a ranch manager. Retiring in 2011, he returned to his passion for photography, which he had begun in the 70’s, but could never find time for. He combines his photographic work with his wood working skills and produces all his own wood frames.

Wing mainly enjoys the challenge of photographing birds, but also enjoys macro and landscape photography. Wing is represented by Circle of Friends Art in Tumalo and Fine Art America.

Dining Rockin’ Daves Rocks Breakfast & Lunch

link as you’re driving along Greenwood between Sixth and Seventh Streets, and you’ll miss Rockin’ Daves Bagel Bistro.

And that will be your loss, because Rockin’ Daves is a whole lot more than a bagel joint.

My friends and I settled outside on the patio with our five (!) dogs and ordered Bloody Marys (one with chipotle and bacon), a Chai drink with vodka and Irish Cream, and a grapefruit breakfast beer (delicious by the way). Our Saturday afternoon was looking pretty good already, and was about to get better.

Since Rockin’ Daves serves breakfast all day long and Eggs Benedict on the weekends, we decided to share one of the Bennies. After evaluating the six options on the specials list, we agreed on the Dungeness Crab Caprese Bennie, with tomato, fresh mozzarella, caramelized onion, spinach over hash browns. I’m usually an Eggs Benedict purist, but this may have changed me forever. The crab was fresh, fresh, fresh, without even a trace of fishiness.

The eggs, from Great American Egg in Powell Butte, were cooked medium, which was a hair too much for me. I would have wanted those bright orange yolks to be just a little runnier. But the zesty hollandaise and finger-lickin’ good dots of arugula mint pesto easily made up for that.

When you go to a place that calls itself a bagel bistro, you have to have at least one bagel, especially when they’re all made in house. The Oh Nelly, featuring house-smoked lox and dill cream cheese on a soft, chewy jalapeño bagel (our choice from some ten options), was spot on. Delicious.

Opting for a healthy interlude, we tried the Veggie Market Scramble next.

That day, our three (or was it four?) eggs were served with eleven different

35

September | www.CascadeAE.com

roasted vegetables, including cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes (two kinds), spinach, zucchini, Brussel sprouts and mushrooms. Add a bed of perfectly roasted, creamy seasoned potatoes underneath and a sprinkling of goat cheese on top, and you’re looking at a tasty bargain breakfast for two that’s also served as a breakfast burrito if you’re on the go. (By the way, Rockin’ Daves has entire separate menus for vegetarians, vegans and those who are gluten intolerant.)

Deciding we’d been healthy enough, we switched gears and spilt two sandwiches: half a Royal Reuben with house-braised corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing and half a house-smoked hot pastrami with Swiss cheese, house-made sweet pickles that pack a hint of heat, grilled onions and Dijon mustard, both on rye. If you’re looking for a New York deli, this isn’t it. But man is it good! Between the corned beef that’s house-braised until it’s pot-roast tender, the house-smoked pastrami, the gooey cheese and the cooked onions, these sandwiches define comfort food.

“What could we do better?” owner Dave Flier asked when he came out to check on us. The only thing could come up with was that a cool-looking, upcycled fence would shield al fresco diners from the traffic noise and help to draw attention to the restaurant. Rockin’ Daves, we all agreed, deserves all the attention it can get.

REDMOND COMMUNITY CONCERT Welcoming New Subscribers (Continued from Page 31)

Next in the lineup on March 13 is Alpin Hong, a highly accomplished classical pianist. He has performed in many prominent venues ranging from Walt Disney Hall to the White House and is also known as an avid musical education advocate. Between his youthful vitality and virtuosity, Hong brings audiences young and old to their feet.

The season will close on April 17 with The Step Crew who present a brilliant visual and musical display combining dance with vocals and world-class fiddlers. This Canadian group features a troupe of dancers who combine several styles of step and tap along with a five-piece ensemble.

They are certain to bring a high-energy performance.

The subscription campaign is underway, and sales have been brisk. Tickets are sold by season subscriptions only; the cost for five performances is $60 Alpin Hong | Photo courtesy of RCCA

for adults, $25 for students under 21 and $125 for a family with students.

Tickets have sold out for the 2pm shows, but are still available for the 6:30pm performances. All seats are general admission.

“RCCA is able to keep its subscription cost affordable because we are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization,” explains Jay Jantzen, RCCA president. “We also are fortunate to have the generous support of patrons and advertisers who are enthusiastic about the quality of music we present as well as our emphasis on student artistic outreach to Redmond Schools and music Scholarship Program for our youth.”

All performances are held at Ridgeview High School’s Performing Arts Theatre in Redmond. www.redmondcca.org, 541-350-7222

Make-A-Band

See what happens when musicians come together like never before.

Musicians of all types are gearing up to showcase their abilities and win prizes while raising money for the local arts community.

Musical artists interested in details on how to get involved or sign to perform can go online to make-a-band.com.

Sign-Ups will begin September 1.

All musicians will be asked to perform at one of six spotlight events in front of a live audience. During these events producers, sponsors and fans will pick musicians who will come together to form bands. These bands will highlight a wide variety of genres of all ages.

The bands will then perform at the Make-A-Band Showcase on Saturday, November 21 at The Tower Theatre.

“Make-A-Band was created to evoke collaborative efforts and award musicians for their individual talents.

In the end, it doesn’t matter if the band stays together, it’s the journey along the way that becomes the prize,” states Jennifer Meyer, producer of Make-A-Band.

Over $20,000 in cash and prizes including production time and gear will be awarded to musicians who participate in Make-A-Band. Proceeds from Make-A-Band will benefit

local nonprofit’s, including The Tower Theatre Foundation whose mission is to be Central Oregon’s leading performing arts organization, providing cultural and educational programs that make essential contributions to the region’s lifestyle and strength of community.

Meyer makes clear the distinction between Make-A-Band and similar Battle of the Bands competitions. “The collaboration is taking place between a group of people who are passionate about music. We are bringing them together.” As someone who has been a part of marketing within the competitive music business, Meyer is taking a stand to create an entirely new experience for aspiring musicians.

“We want expand the music market of Central Oregon, while also giving opportunities for music lovers of all ages,” says Meyer. The Make-A-Band events will be fun, engaging gatherings that should not be missed. www.make-a-band.com

n My Life - A Musical Theatre Tribute to the Beatles is the nationally touring musical biography of the Beatles through the eyes of manager Brian Epstein, featuring the live music of renowned tribute band, Abbey Road.

The show is widely considered by industry insiders to be the most unique Beatles show in decades. In My Life returns to the Tower Theatre in Bend on Tuesday, October 13 at 7:30pm. The show sold out the Tower Theatre in 2013, and another show, which Abbey Road performs with, Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Shootout played to a capacity audience at Tower last year.

More than just a Beatles tribute concert, In My Life gives the audience a chance to be there at pivotal moments in the extraordinary career of the Beatles: Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club,The Ed Sullivan Show, Shea Stadium, Abbey Road Studios

and the final live performance on the rooftop of their Apple Corp offices.

With manager Brian Epstein serving as narrator, In My Life allows the audience to get a glimpse inside the world of the Beatles from their point of view, as well as hear some of the greatest songs ever written. Historical settings such as the Cavern Club are established on stage with videos and images which play behind the actors and musicians on a video screen.

With their tight harmonies, flawless renditions, custom–tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudlian dialect and precise attention to detail, they recreate the magic of the Beatles, including the Fab Four’s cheeky personalities and familiar onstage banter.

In My Life takes the audience back to February 1964 when America watched the Beatles for the first time on The Ed Sullivan

Sgt. Pepper show: Nate Bott (“John”), Axel Clarke (“Ringo”), Chris Paul Overall (“Paul”) and Jesse Wilder (“George”) | Photo by Michelle Fairless

Show, playing I Want To Hold Your Hand. Progressing through their various musical stages, the audience re-experiences the psychedelic era of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,

the creation of the haunting Blackbird and the raucous rock and roll of Revolution.

Weird Al Yankovic & Ben Harper & Innocent Criminals Kick into Fall at Les Schwab Amphitheater

A

merican singer, songwriter, parodist, record producer, satirist, actor, music video director, film producer and author Weird Al Yankovic is known for his humorous songs that make light of popular culture and often parody specific songs by contemporary musical acts, original songs that are style pastiches of the work of other acts and polka medleys of several popular songs featuring his favored instrument, the accordion.

Since his first-aired comedy song in 1976, he has sold more than 12 million albums (as of 2007), recorded more than 150 parody and original songs and performed more than 1,000 live shows. His works have earned him four Grammy Awards and a further 11 nominations, four gold records, and six platinum records in the United States.

His most current album, Mandatory Fun, won a Grammy in the category of Best Comedy Album. The album features

Beatles Biography Show Returns to Bend

parodies of some of the biggest hits of the past year, including Pharrell Williams’ Happy (Tacky), Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines (Word Crimes), Lorde’s Royals (Foil), Iggy Azalea’s Fancy (Handy) and Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive (Inactive).

Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals are reuniting for their first tour in seven years. "The Innocent Criminals are a family," Harper said of the band's return to touring. “We've remained very close over the years and it seemed like we couldn't wait another minute. We've all come full circle in our own ways and it is time we pick up where we left off. It's creatively time for us to do this.”

The Innocent Criminals consists of percussionist Leon Mobley, bassist Juan Nelson, drummer Oliver Charles, keyboardist Jason Yates and guitarist Michael Ward. Founding members Mobley, Nelson and Charles have been integral parts of Harper’s sound for more than 20 years, first playing gigs at the tiny Mint nightclub in Los Angeles and supporting Harper’s 1994 debut, Welcome to the Cruel World. Yates and Ward became ICs a decade later and helped expand and refine the band’s sound.

“The new music we’re writing honors the old IC sound, but is light ages ahead of where we were back then,” explained Harper. “I can’t wait for fans to hear it and give us that stamp of approval that only Innocent Criminal fans can give.” www.eventsticketcenter.com

band will be covered. Workshops run Saturday from 12-4pm at Melvin’s Fir Street Market, The Open Door, Angeline’s Bakery and Sisters Coffee Company.

On Sunday, there will be four additional workshops at Sisters Coffee, which will continue to be a free venue all weekend.

New Perspective for September by Eileen Lock

ake your time as this month begins, and spend more time listening than talking, especially near the 3rd. Life starts to make more sense on the 5th and it will be easier to know what to do next. Relationships shift significantly after the 6th and the desire to take action is strong. Steps taken on the 8th will be met with cooperation and support. Action is definitely easier than words at this time.

The New Moon on the 12th could feel awkward, and it’s important to keep an open mind. Opportunities near the 16th will ask for you to let go in order to move forward. Big changes begin on the 17th and your words might only confuse the situation. Have faith over the next few days as you adjust to using a new approach.

Changes in relationships near the 22nd are exciting and feel delightful. The Fall Equinox on the next day could leave you wondering what just happened. Conversations on the 24th could be intense and there could be big decisions on the 25th. The Full Moon on the 27th is mixed with a Total Lunar Eclipse so everyone could be feeling reactive. Keep the talking going over the last few days and make a point of sharing how you really feel. Realize how important it is to be completely honest with yourself and others.

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