Friday, March 1st at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM Tickets: $25 in advance - $30 at door The term “blue-eyed soul,” originally coined in the 60s, refers to musicians who were influenced by soul rhythm and blues.

Throughout the ensuing years, the lineup has featured several spectacularly talented new members, but The Limeliters have never deviated from the integrity of the fabulous sound they pio-neered.

ARIZONA GHOST TOWN DOUBLE FEATURE: Ghost Town Trail and Ghost Towns of Old Arizona

Two Films by Phil Wenstrand

Wednesday, March 6th at 7:00 PM

Tickets: $10 in advance - $15 at door The Ghost Town Trail isn’t necessarily a real place but is com-posed of the few images and stories that remain of Arizona’s frontier past.

The Haldeman brothers were just defending themselves but they became the victims of “The Last Hanging” of Tombstone. Frontier Arizona was a very hostile place. Forbidding deserts, heat and unfriendly natives made pio-neering here as tough as any place in the west. As miners dug in search of riches, others built camps that turned into towns. These films will take you into these fascinating and often dangerous places as filmmaker Phil Wenstrand follows the stories and lives of those who braved frontier Arizona.

Jack will tell us all about those missions, their importance to the development of California, their treatment of the Indians, and the effect of their secularization; as well as the founding of San Fran-cisco in 1776 by a Tucson boy, the Bear Revolt, the discovery of Gold at Sutter’s Mill, its importance in the Civil War and more.

Davis Wednesday, May 1st at 7:00PM Tickets: $10 in advance – $15 at door This 50-minute film features stunning images of Grand Canyon, an explanation of Hopi cultural connections to the canyon, live music footage, and much more. It helps explain Grand Canyon as a living landscape, something Hopi people equate to a house of worship. At the completion of the film there will be a question and answer session and musical demonstration by Matthew Nel-son and Gary Stroutsos. Music has the power to connect people to place in a profound way. With the Desert View Watchtower perched on the edge of one of the world’s most important cultural and geographic land-scapes, a trio of musicians with strong connections to Grand Can-yon recorded music inside the Watchtower on a project called Öngtupqa. Öngtupqa is the Hopi name for Grand Canyon and features the oldest instruments from this corner of the world. Clark Tenakhongva, Gary Stroutsos and Matthew Nelson use their mastery of voice, flute and clay pot percussion to bring the acoustics within the Watchtower to life. Öngtupqa is an acoustic soundscape intended to honor the surrounding landscape through music created on-site that could never be replicated in a studio far from the views and spirit of Grand Canyon. Öngtupqa is the first audio recording within this location, whose architecture is in-spired by Ancestral Puebloan ruins.

“My only hope is the music we offer will resonate with the world,” said Tenakhongva, who is a renowned Hopi singer, ka-china carver, and works as the Vice Chairman of the Hopi Tribe. “As Hopi, we were born within Grand Canyon and when we are done we return back to this place to rejuvenate life of a new be-ginning. This is the cycle. This is the Hopi way. And these are songs about that special place – Öngtupqa.”

SCRATCHBOARD/WATERCOLOR:

COMBINING DRAWING WITH PAINTING

Instructor: Rick Wheeler Dates: Every Tuesday, January 8 to April 23, 2019 Time: 9 AM - 11:00 AM Fee: $40/2-hour Session Scratchboard is fundamentally a drawing medium, popular in the early 1900's for book illustration. Scratchboard makes for some very dramatic black & white renderings, but with this class, the students will discover how adding color - using traditional watercolor - can enhance their drawings.

BEGINNING-INTERMEDIATE WATERCOLOR

Instructor: Rick Wheeler Dates: Every Tuesday, January 8 to April 23, 2019 Time: 11:15 AM - 1:15 PM Fee: $40/2-hour Session A class that focuses on the basics for beginners, as well as advanced techniques for the intermediate student. Color mixing, brush and paper choices, how to stretch your own paper will be covered, along with the importance of good drawing skills and such techniques as working light-to-dark, wet-into-wet, wet-over-dry, glazing, blending, and loose vs. tight painting. ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE:

A PAINTERLY APPROACH Instructor: Rick Wheeler Dates: Every Tuesday, January 8 to April 23, 2019 Time: 2:00 AM - 4:00 PM Fee: $40/2-hour Session "Painterly" is a term often used among other painters. If one painter calls another artists work, "painterly" it's con-sidered a compliment. The term is used to describe a style of work that allows for visible brushstrokes, thick applica-tions of paint, dry brush, and blocking-in, while incorpo-rating a more generalized, less detailed approach to paint-ing. All of these techniques, and several others will be covered.

THE BEST OF BOTH: MIXED MEDIA,

WATERCOLOR AND PASTEL Instructor: Tonja Sell Dates: March 18th and 19th

Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Supply Fee: $20 Class Fee: $265, Early Bird Special $240 if paid by Feb 16 Many artists new to watercolor find it not very forgiving and let's face it- down right frustrating! In this workshop you will discover tips and techniques to loosen up and how pastel can be just to tool to save your not-so-masterful masterpiece. Dramatic and versatile, chalk pastels can be one of the most beautiful of media. When combined with watercolor it transforms your work. I will help you remove any inhibitions you may have in regard to mixing media, giving you practical insight for both watercolor and pastel. BOLD BRUSH! TEXTURAL

ABSTRACTION & ACRYLIC APPLICATION

Instructor: Tonja Sell Dates: March 20th and 21st Time: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Supply Fee: $20 Class Fee: $265, Early Bird Special $240 if paid by Feb 18 This class is for beginner to advanced students who are interested in boldly exploring mixed media acrylic tech-niques and texture on a large format. We'll explore many different acrylic mediums and their potential applications to create exciting, textural, interesting abstract paintings. We will combine acrylic mediums while exploring ways to incorporate elements of form, pattern & strong design.

BALANCING OPPOSITES:

THE YIN & YANG OF COMPOSITION

Instructor: Jane Davies Dates: April 29-30, May 1-3 Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM Supply Fee: $10 Class Fee: $610, Early Bird Special $550 if paid by Feb 25 The concept of composition is elusive. Approaching com-position from the standpoint of Balancing Opposites can be an enlightening way to tackle the subject. In teaching, I find myself repeatedly saying things like: “all of your col-ors are saturated. How about balancing that out with some neutrals?” or “your piece is very busy; how about some quiet space?” In this workshop we will explore the ele-ments and principles of composition in terms of pairs of opposites: bright/dull; large/small; textured/smooth; busy/quiet, and so forth. You will come away with the tools to create dynamic compositions, and a deeper understanding of how to balance the Yin and Yang of composition!
