The mother is a professional artist with an MFA degree and an in-depth knowledge and love for surrealism in all its forms. She has given lectures and classes on surrealism and created a lot of it herself! One day she discovered her own daughter’s exquisite\, ethereal poetry! As she read it\, her jaw dropped at the eerie phrases\, nearly making sense and then. . . not. The mother was intrigued and\, being an artist\, imagery began popping and flowing into her head. She wondered what these poems would look like! The daughter wondered too and thus began the Mother-Daughter Project.  \n  \n\nARTIST STATEMENTS\n\n  \n\nLINDA NEELY\n“My first clear memories of making art happened on brown paper bag book-covers in school. I now have a Master of Fine Arts degree which means I have had the good fortune to explore and make art in ways I never would have considered on my own. If I were to consider my art as a whole I would say I am interested in creating places\, environments of wonder\, awe and safety\, not necessarily all together. I have several favorite mediums. Often what I’m imagining dictates the medium.I have travelled the world with an openness to awe and wonder\, finding it in surprising places. I have also studied surrealism extensively: surrealism in art\, writing\, film and architecture. I have taught classes and workshops in surrealism. When I read Amber’s poetry\, I am in awe of the imagery it creates in one’s mind. Her method of writing also intrigues me. I suppose it was inevitable we would work on this project together. I am grateful she agreed. “\nwebsite • instagram • facebook\nAMBER NEELY\n“Writing has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. I began journaling when I was about nine years old\, and have continued to do so\, taking intermissions when things get particularly difficult\, particularly easy\, or I am being particularly lazy. I think I began writing as a way of processing unrealized dissociative episodes as a child. Through the process of writing\, I was able to remind\, or rather\, convince myself that I am here. I could look back and have a clear narrative of my life with no re-elaboration\, regardless of what was happening.I have never shared my writing with anyone other than my very close family and a couple of friends. Nowadays\, I write when I need to. When everything in me is locked or crumpled up\, or disintegrating before my eyes. I write to put words to that which I cannot express in any other way. Often it is inspired by dreams\, or some experience that feels too heavy or too magical to leave inside. I believe in writing more than I believe in anything else.”\n \n\n  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThe Mother-Daughter Project will be on display in The Granucci Gallery at The Center for the Arts from Thursday\, February 18 through Friday\, March 26\, 2020.\n  \n  \n\n\n\nUpcoming Exhibitions\n\nOpen Studios 2021 – Accepting ApplicationsTuesday\, February 2nd - Friday\, April 16thAmber & Linda Neely: The Mother-Daughter ProjectThursday\, February 18th - Friday\, March 26thArtist Q&A: Amber & Linda NeelyWednesday\, March 3rd | 4:00 pm - 5:00 pmIn Remembrance of a Peaceful WarriorThursday\, April 1st - Friday\, May 7thTina Basich Haller: Bent But Not Broken\, A Scoliosis Journey Through ArtFriday\, May 14th - Friday\, June 18th\n\n\n\nVisit the Gallery Virtually on our YouTube Channel!\n\n\n\nSpecial Thanks to our Gallery Sponsor URL:https://thecenterforthearts.org/event/the-mother-daughter-project/ LOCATION:The Granucci Gallery\, 314 West Main Street\, Grass Valley\, CA\, 95945\, United States CATEGORIES:_Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thecenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/200218-MotherDaughter_WEB_960x540.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210218 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210319 DTSTAMP:20210302T085547 CREATED:20210211T021316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210226T171616Z UID:8490-1613606400-1616111999@thecenterforthearts.org SUMMARY:Arts.

From an early age she found inspiration and creativity in the visual arts. Her love for art drew her to a series of mentorships with accomplished professional artists\, including Max Ferry\, Juan Pena\, and Sylvia Rogers. This strong foundation of rigorous training in a wide range of genres and mediums led to her own successful career as an artist\, including commissions from Sacramento Zoo\, the Folsom Zoo\, the California State Water Resources Board\, and numerous local businesses. \nAs an arts educator\, Virginia has taught art for 30 years here in the community at all age and skill levels\, both in the public school system and as a private instructor\, including co-founding and teaching with Community Canvas. For Virginia\, a smile on the face of a student after they complete a work of art is always a cherished moment. Through her belief that art is for everyone and that everyone has an inner artist that wants to come out and play\, even self-declared “non-artistic” guests leave her classes with a beautiful work of art that they’re proud of—not to mention a whole new set of memories. Virginia’s passion for art is contagious and living on the Right Side is her mantra. \n  \nArts Education at The Center\nThe Center is expanding their arts education offerings to adults with creative workshops starting late-summer. These workshops are for adults 17+. Locations range from in-house to virtual depending on the program. The Center is committed to providing creative offerings to the community in these challenging times. \nWe are currently seeking teachers. Do you have skills you’d like to share?

Eminent singer-songwriter\, The Sam Chase\, strides out of the hadron collider flanked on one side by Chandra Johnson\, violin heroine\, and on the other by Devon McClive\, renowned and feared cellist at large. “A refreshing and new style – let’s call it Chamber Americana.” This is what you get when deftly bowed strings collide with ironclad songwriting. This is the pure distillation of adventure and heartache of American song. To see Chandra and Devon wield their unforgiving instruments with such skill is truly inspiring. These women create a symphony\, intricate and epic… The Sam Chase is an international touring artist\, with four studio albums. Sam was voted Best Singer-Songwriter in SF Weekly 2019\, 2018\, 2017. Chandra Johnson studied violin at Western Washington University. Chandra has played with Mary Lambert\, Devotchka\, Allen Stone\, John Craigie\, & many more. Devon McClive was trained by a cello guru in the Appalachian mountains. Devon performs/publishes music with her own band & makes up nonsense songs for her son. \nwebsite | facebook | youtube \n \n  \nEvent Details \nFrom The Center: The Sam Chase Trio\nLive Broadcast Event\nFriday\, March 12\, 2021 • 7:00 PM PST\n$10 Public\, Free to Members* \nTICKETS \n*Discount applied at checkout.

No replay options available.* \nThe Center for the Arts continues to provide our community with unique cultural and educational programming. We are partnering with National Geographic Live to offer exciting natural adventures in an interactive online format. This series is free to attend when you RSVP. \nEngage in the art of nature through National Geographic Live! Explore the behind-the-scenes stories⁠ and stunning imagery⁠ from National Geographic’s world-renowned photographers\, scientists\, authors\, filmmakers\, conservationists\, and adventurers from the comfort of home. These one-time-only online events end with a live Q&A so that you can join in on the conversation. \n  \n\n  \nMeet two filmmakers renowned for capturing extreme feats of adventure in some of the world’s most remote and inhospitable environments. Based out of British Columbia\, Bryan Smith brings stories of adventure to the screen from the South Pacific’s deepest canyons to the frozen waters of Niagara Falls. Keith Ladzinski takes on the seemingly impossible—including chasing tornadoes\, hanging from massive natural arches\, and swimming with alligators—to document the endeavors of the world’s most elite adventurers.  \n  \nSPEAKER BIOS\n \nBryan Smith \nBryan Smith is an award-winning filmmaker based out of Squamish\, British Columbia. His first documentary\, 49 Megawatts\, received acclaim both for its amazing kayaking footage and insightful exploration of the controversy over British Columbia’s river-based energy production. He has since earned National Geographic Expedition grants and directed shows for National Geographic\, including “Monster Fish” and “The Man Who Can Fly.” With a knack for storytelling\, an ability to get cameras into difficult and remote locations\, and an insane work ethic\, Bryan has developed a strong reputation in both TV documentary and commercial cinematography.  \n  \n \nKeith Ladzinski \nKeith Ladzinski is a contributing photographer at National Geographic magazine whose work focuses on natural history\, climate change\, extreme sports\, and advertising. He got his start exploring two styles of photography—skateboarding in New York City and exploring the quiet mountains of Colorado—and eventually the two subjects converged as he forged his roots in the world of extreme sports. Keith is an Emmy-nominated director and has made films\, advertising\, and television content for National Geographic TV\, Disney\, Apple\, Nikon\, and The Weather Channel\, among others. \n  \n  \n  \nSeries Sponsor\n \n  \n\n  \nMore Upcoming Virtual Events\nMusic For Young MindsMonday\, March 1st - Sunday\, May 30thArtist Q&A: Amber & Linda NeelyWednesday\, March 3rd | 4:00 pm - 5:00 pmVirtual Family Fun Day featuring Diary of a WombatSaturday\, March 6th | 10:00 amIn Conversation with Julia Amaral\, Adventures in the South PoleSunday\, March 7th | 4:00 pm - 5:30 pmFrom The Center: The Sam Chase TrioFriday\, March 12th | 7:00 pm URL:https://thecenterforthearts.org/event/nat-geo-live-feats-of-filmmaking/ CATEGORIES:_Virtual,*Featured,Film Screening,Free Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/210317-NatGeo-Film_WEB_960x540_b.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210326T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210326T190000 DTSTAMP:20210302T085547 CREATED:20210203T194247Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210210T200913Z UID:8445-1616785200-1616785200@thecenterforthearts.org SUMMARY:From The Center: Whitney Myer DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE ARTIST\nA nexus of RnB\, hip-pop and Rock n Roll\, Whitney Myer’s soulful vocals and electrifying live performances have mesmerized audiences\, earning her featured appearances at Lightning in a Bottle\, The Bounce Festival\, and SXSW.

This exhibition has been compiled from his negatives by his mother\, Sally Black\, as a tribute to his memory and the short\, but passionate life Michael lived.  \n\n  \n \nAbout the Artist: Michael Christopher Black (1989 – 2019)\nMichael was a peaceful warrior who traveled the world trying to make a difference in people’s lives. Michael had a strong sense of justice and equality and was a mentor to many people. He was passionate about life and the people he met.\nIn 2014\, Michael began a five-year journey traveling the world on a Royal Enfield Motorcycle photographing his encounters. Traveling profoundly changed Michael. His trips to India and Nepal especially had a deep impact on him.\nMichael was on the island of Tinos\, Greece when he suddenly and tragically passed away at the age of 30 from injuries sustained in a motorbike accident. \nAt the time he was studying the art of analog photography with his teacher\, Sebran D’Argent\, a famous Paris photographer living on Tinos Island. Michael was in his fourth year of mentorship and getting ready to show his photos in Paris when he passed. He had already traveled extensively through the US\, Mexico\, India\, Australia\, Turkey and many other places in Europe taking photographs and inspiring many wherever he went. \nThe photographs from India were taken between 2015-2018. Michael used a vintage Rolleiflex camera\, many of them hand-developed by Michael. \nMichael’s many gifts included capturing the essence or heart of people whether it was taking photographs or merely having a conversation with them. His love for humanity\, earth’s many living creatures and the environment is embraced in each of his photographs. One can see by his beautiful photos that he wanted to share his vision and make a difference in the world.\nTo honor Michael’s passion for analog photography\, his family compiled his many negatives and created this website to share Michael’s art with everyone. \nhttps://michaelcblack.com \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \n\n\nIn Remembrance of a Peaceful Warrior will be on display in The Granucci Gallery at The Center for the Arts from April 1 – May 7\, 2021.

Availability is limited.\n\n  \nOakland\, California music legends Tower of Power – the most dynamic and distinctive band of survivors in Soul Music – is roaring into its unprecedented 50th anniversary with a dynamic new disc of all new material that finds them as energized and inspired as ever. A labor of love\, definitively titled Soul Side of Town\, this package is charged with 14 filler-free songs. In the spirit of their enduring theme song “Oakland Stroke” – the bookending intro and outro “East Bay” shine a light on elemental instrumental ingredients within the band’s signature sound. This astounding and historical release inaugurates Tower of Power’s fresh affiliation with Mack Avenue Records\, a Detroit-based company renowned for its award-winning dedication to top-tier Jazz that is now extending its support to Soul and Funk giants\, Tower of Power: a band so one-of-a-kind\, it’s an institution. \n  \n \n  \nAs always\, the songs on Tower of Power’s Soul Side of Town were primarily composed by the hitmaking team of founding members Emilio Castillo (Detroit-born on 2nd tenor sax) and Stephen “Doc” Kupka (Los Angeles-born on baritone sax) who also hold down the world famous 5-man Tower of Power Horns. For the special occasion of Tower of Power’s 50th anniversary\, leader Emilio Castillo brought in a most-astute choice in co-producer\, Joe Vannelli: an all-around production/engineering/keyboard master best known for the jazz-tinged Soul-Rock Grammy-winning work he performed behind the scenes with his international superstar brother\, Gino Vannelli. Also insuring that the sound blasts powerful and clear from your speakers is the presence of mastering engineer Bernie Grundman in the mix. Along with the legendary rhythm section drums and bass lock of David Garibaldi and Francis Rocco Prestia\, respectively\, these decorated veterans have custom-crafted a hair-raising audio experience that longtime fans\, music connoisseurs and a new generation of listeners will groove to for years to come. \nIn keeping with Tower of Power’s golden canon of classics\, the new material picks up the torch in all of the time-tested styles fans respect and love. In line with hiply intricate\, cranial-crushing funk classics such as “Down to the Nightclub” and “Soul Vaccination” are new jams “Do You Like That” and “On the Soul Side of Town.” In the tradition of heart-stopping balladry like their biggest chart hits “You’re Still a Young Man” and “So Very Hard to Go” are new love songs like “Let it Go” (Bruno Mars will want to cover this one) and “Can’t Stop Thinking About You.” Along the firing-on-all-cylinders line of instrumental anomalies such as “Squib Cakes\,” “Walking Up Hip Street” and “Ebony Jam” are burnin’ offerings “Butter-Fried” and “After Hours.” Following up positivity primers such as “Knock Yourself Out\,” “You’ve Got to Funkifize” and “Credit” are new spirit lifters “Selah\,” “Love Must Be Patient and Kind” and “Do it With Soul\,” along with T.O.P.’s singular approach to Pop-Rock on “When Love Takes Control.” \n  \n \n  \nAlong with veteran members Castillo\, Kupka\, Garibaldi and Prestia\, T.O.P. consists of guitarist Jerry Cortez\, Hammond B3 organist/keyboardist Roger Smith\, 1st tenor saxophonist Tom Politzer\, and trumpeters Adolfo Acosta and Sal Cracchiolo. Soul Side of Town is also blessed with not one but two lead singers: outgoing Ray Greene (now in Santana) and incoming Marcus Scott (boldly introduced on several selections\, including “Hanging with My Baby”). The 10-piece Tower of Power band is prepared to throw down next year with a celebratory tour that will include sweet spots around the globe. \n  \nSince its formation in Oakland\, California in 1968\, Tower of Power has forged a reputation as a crack band of high achieving musicians fluent in all realms of Soul\, Rock and Pop music with a sophistication and punch like that of a Jazz big band. From their first album East Bay Grease (1970) on Rock impresario Bill Graham’s San Francisco Records label (distributed by Atlantic)\, the interracial band became pillars and signatures of The Bay Area Music Scene that included pioneering like-minded bands such as Sly & The Family Stone\, Cold Blood\, Graham Central Station\, The Pointer Sisters and The Sons of Champlin plus rock-oriented outfits such as Santana\, Betty Davis and Journey. Beginning with their sophomore release\, Tower of Power came to prominence with a string of acclaimed albums on Warner Bros. Records: Bump City (1972)\, Tower of Power (1973)\, Back to Oakland (1974)\, Urban Renewal (1974)\, In the Slot (1975) and Live and in Living Color (1976). A move to Columbia Records resulted in three more major label releases and their last top-charting hit\, “You Ought To Be Havin’ Fun.” Including all studio albums\, live albums and rarities anthologies\, T.O.P. has 24 previous releases in its burgeoning catalog. \n  \nAlong with T.O.P.’s classic recordings\, the 5-piece Tower of Power Horns – known for its power packed punch and fullness with two trumpets\, two tenor saxophones plus a baritone sax on the bottom – became much in demand for studio sessions and live gigs. Among the hundreds of artists they have blessed with their presence are Rufus featuring Chaka Khan\, Graham Central Station\, Elton John\, Little Feat\, Billy Preston\, John Lee Hooker\, Coke Escovedo\, Jose Feliciano\, Al Kooper\, Sammy Hagar\, Rod Stewart\, Peter Frampton\, Jermaine Jackson\, Harvey Mason\, Lenny White\, The Brothers Johnson\, The Meters\, Lee Oskar\, Dionne Warwick\, Melissa Manchester\, Bobby Caldwell\, Heart\, Rick James\, Santana\, Smokey Robinson\, Huey Lewis & The News\, Toto\, Paul Shaffer\, Bonnie Raitt\, Aaron Neville\, Spyro Gyra\, Terence Trent D’Arby\, Luther Vandross\, Candy Dulfer\, Aerosmith\, Phish\, John Hiatt\, Neil Diamond\, P.Diddy\, Bill Wyman\, Eiko Shuri…and TV’s The Simpsons (Sing The Blues). \n  \nMost importantly\, when almost all other R&B bands abandoned their horn sections as the sound of Soul music morphed into more stripped-down techno and synthesizer strains in the `80s\, Tower of Power near single-handedly carried the torch for full-on 10-piece bands\, often even including a conguero/percussionist. Faithful fans flocked to their concerts and purchased their new albums that kept the real soul vibe alive for decades. Indeed\, the horn section is so pivotal to Tower of Power that unlike most band stage setups that have horns in the back\, T.O.P.’s renowned and respected horn section is right up-front with the lead singer. \n \n  \nSoul Side of Town is the centerpiece of a celebratory 50th Anniversary campaign for Tower of Power that will also see the re-release via Mack Avenue Records of four hard to find independent productions: The East Bay Archive Vol. 1 (a 1973 live recording from Boston)\, Oakland Zone (a 2008 release celebrated for the return of drummer David Garibaldi after several years away)\, Great American Soulbook (an all-star affair of soul classics featuring guests such as Joss Stone\, Tom Jones\, Sam Moore and Huey Lewis)\, and 40th Anniversary: Live at The Fillmore in San Francisco (a deluxe multi-disc CD/DVD collector’s item loaded with great new live renditions of hits plus interviews with alumni past and present). \nThis year promises to be a BLAST for Tower of Power and all its fans as they celebrate their 50th anniversary with a motherload of electrifying new sounds guaranteed to funkifize\, energize and provide the soundtrack for new American movements of Love\, Peace\, Soul Power\, Mind Power and People Power to rise! \nwebsite | facebook | youtube \n  \n \n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR SHOW SPONSOR\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n\n  \n*NEW* Choose Your Own Ticket Packages. Click a link below and you will be directed to our ticketing platform to make your show selection.

In 2011 she was exposed to a simple felting technique and dove headlong into this ancient and ever evolving textile art form. She crafts one-of-a-kind pieces utilizing wet and “nuno” felting processes. Wool\, yarn\, silk and other fibers are transformed into functional and wearable art. Scarves\, hats\, slippers\, vests\, purses and decorative vessels are just a handful of items that she produces. She enjoys experimenting with hand dyeing and hunting thrift stores for garments to be repurposed. Locally sourced materials are utilized whenever possible. She offers classes and workshops at her home studio as well as community maker spaces. \nBeth Leydon | website \nJennifer Landau\nJennifer Landau’s passion for art\, fiber and the mountains has been with her since childhood. Jen is a lifelong resident of the San Francisco Bay Area\, with the Sierra Nevada and France as places of family\, exploration\, retreat\, and inspiration. With an academic background in organizational development\, Jennifer is a pioneer of the profession\, graphic facilitation\, where visual thinking is used with teams and organizations. In Jen’s fiber art\, handspun wool\, “knit felt” and machine felting are signature materials. Increasingly Jennifer is becoming known for her 3D and freestanding art quilt work. Abstract themes draw on her background in graphic design\, while landscapes reflect her love of both outdoor and urban life. Her art quilts have been\nshown in local art events as well as regional and global SAQA exhibitions. Art Quilting Studio magazine has featured her work since 2013\, and she enjoys speaking about the use of wool in her artwork. She sells her fiber work and demonstrates spinning at the Great Dickens Christmas Fair in the San Francisco area. Her work can be seen online at ruedoak.com and hammondhandspun.com \nSandra Poteet\nTransitioning between the painted fabric work and other fiber manipulations renews my energy. My art continues to evolve\, there are no rules and I exercise the right to try anything new. All doors are open\, I can go through. \nThe choice of cloth as medium sometimes sets me in the midst of the never ending argument about what is art\, and what is craft. So many opinions. I am clear that my work is art\, but I can resolve to say that if the viewer also decides my work is “Art”\, it is well-crafted. If chosen to be seen as “Craft” pieces\, they are artful\, designed and executed by me to provoke an aesthetic or emotional response. If an original work has integrity and can touch someone’s sensibilities – is the distinction critical? \nSandra Poteet | website \nSusan Elsa\nI describe my work as "stealth art": the comfortable ambiance of sewn cloth draws viewers in\, where they are confronted with the often-uncomfortable paradoxes of\ncontemporary life. My work has developed in tandem with the art quilt movement\, but I am one of the few artists making figurative sculpture—often incorporating sound\, light\, and movement—from this medium. I use cloth to create an alternate universe\, and the resulting work is full of contradictions: it is whimsical\, edgy\, mundane\, surreal\, and engaging\, all at once. Each piece tells a story\, but the narrative is always open to interpretation. The power and beauty of the collaged and quilted cloth surface play off\nthe form and content of the work\, and the result is a dynamic seesaw of meanings and possibilities. \nSusan Elsa | website \nValerie Messervy Birkhoff\nValerie Messervy Birkhoff graduated from Portland State University with a B.S. in Arts and Letters. Her work includes clay sculpture\, hand-sewn-beaded-wire sculptures\, oil/acrylic painting\, and mixed media. Her work has been shown from Marin to Joshua Tree and several places in-between. Her awards include the following: Best of Show\, for her beaded sculpture\, “In Her Hands” at Sacramento Fine Arts Center\, and her clay pieces “Sweating Dirt” and “Human Interaction” have also received a Best of Show there as well; First place award for 3D for her clay sculpture “Preasevare” with the Joshua Tree National Park Art Council Show\, where she has participated since 2014 and received a Second Place Award in 2015 for her beaded sculpture “Ouch!.” Her clay sculpture “Unveiled Hero” received 3rd Place\, a Bold Award for her clay sculpture “Words Hurt\,” and her oil painting “Humour” was given an Award of Excellence\, in Sacramento. She was included in the 30th Annual Clay Competition in Davis in 2019. She is an instructor of expressive clay sculpture in Auburn at JCLee Studios. \nValerie Messervy Birkhoff | website \n  \nFaye Schoolcraft\nFaye Schoolcraft was born in Chicago\, Illinois\, to artist parents\, Freeman and Cora Schoolcraft .

As a teen\, he was captivated by the banjo playing of one of its masters\, Earl Scruggs\, and decided he’d be a banjo picker\, too. Del joined Bill Monroe’s Blue Grass Boys in early 1963 providing him with a priceless trove of bluegrass tutelage direct from the source.Countless hours of recording sessions and miles of tireless touring dotted the decades. “We don’t have a setlist\,” says Del. “We try and work in the new songs\, but a lot of times it’s just requests from the audience. It’s more interesting for the band\, for me\, and for the audience because nobody knows what’s coming next.” With but a single change in membership in twenty seven years The Del McCoury Band shows unprecedented stability and accolades including membership in the Grand Ole Opry and two Grammy wins. Del says “I consider myself traditional at heart\, but I don’t have any boundaries. I’m just a guy that likes to sing and play music.” \nDEL MCCOURY BAND website | facebook | instagram | video \n  \n\n  \nDEL MCCOURY BAND\nSaturday\, July 31\, 2021\nDoors: 7 PM | Showtime: 8 PM \nReserved Seating: $45-$60 \nGet Tickets \n  \n  \nGenre: Bluegrass  \nRecommended Shows: Front Country | Suzy Bogguss | Sierra Hull     \n  \n\n  \nBecome a member to get discounted tickets\, early access\, flexible exchanges and more! \nQuestions?

She created the West of Lincoln Project\, which was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation from the City of Los Angeles for Art in Action\, as well as a grant to an individual artist from the Carl Jacobs Foundation. Granted a residency at the Millay Colony for the Arts in NY\, published in Professional Artist Magazine\, Catapult Art Magazine and Huffington Post\, and has taught at the Crocker Art Museum. Ruth was a featured sketch artist on the Dead Files TV program\, was awarded an Artist in Residence at Nevada County Arts for Artist Activating Communities through a grant from the California Arts Council for BELONGING\, I AM HERe\, and most recently HOME. BELONGING screened at 18th Annual Nevada City Film Festival (AKA “Sundance of the Sierra”)\, and at Wild & Scenic Film Festival during 2019. \n  \n \n \nAbout the Exhibition\nI struggle with the notion of what a woman is. My work explores what it means to be a woman and the struggle to understand all that entails. I create large intimate paintings from images that women have submitted and from selfies that my daughter has taken. I also create public art installations and video from public engagement projects. Motherhood opened a world within me that is both painful and empowering. Causing me to reevaluate the roles I have resisted and submitted to\, and how I see myself as a woman. Using my daughters’ selfies\, I am able to capture the complexity of the mother/daughter relationship. Experiencing my daughter’s adolescence has awoken memories\, causing a deep reflection on how our childhood shapes us as women\, and the role vulnerability plays in our development. Working with images that women have submitted allows me to step back and see a broader view of the female experience. I use social media as a communal aspect of my process that takes me out of the isolation of my studio and expands my understanding of women outside of my own experiences. \n  \nRuth Chase  website | Facebook | instagram | vimeo | CV \n\nUPCOMING EXHIBITIONS\nOpen Studios 2021 – Accepting ApplicationsTuesday\, February 2nd - Friday\, April 16thAmber & Linda Neely: The Mother-Daughter ProjectThursday\, February 18th - Friday\, March 26thArtist Q&A: Amber & Linda NeelyWednesday\, March 3rd | 4:00 pm - 5:00 pmIn Remembrance of a Peaceful WarriorThursday\, April 1st - Friday\, May 7thTina Basich Haller: Bent But Not Broken\, A Scoliosis Journey Through ArtFriday\, May 14th - Friday\, June 18th URL:https://thecenterforthearts.org/event/ruth-chase-she-remembers-everything/ LOCATION:The Granucci Gallery\, 314 West Main Street\, Grass Valley\, CA\, 95945\, United States CATEGORIES:_Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/R.Chase_.SheRemembersEverything.2020.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210907T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210907T200000 DTSTAMP:20210302T085547 CREATED:20191220T180015Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201120T202928Z UID:5847-1631044800-1631044800@thecenterforthearts.org SUMMARY:The Allman Betts Band DESCRIPTION:In December of 2017\, Devon Allman was ready. After a year of mourning the losses of his mother and father\, Allman was ready to make music again. He deeply appreciated all of the condolences and well-wishes\, but\, respectfully\, it was time to forge ahead. \nAllman organized a concert at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco to honor the music and memory of his father\, founding Allman Brothers Band keyboardist and singer\, Gregg Allman\, and also to debut his new band\, The Devon Allman Project. A proverbial star-studded affair- with guests such as G. Love and Robert Randolph- the marathon performance also marked the beginning of a partnership with Duane Betts\, son of founding Allman Brothers Band guitarist and singer\, Dickey Betts. It was time\, in that historic venue\, to pass the spirt to this next generation. It was time to take all the lessons of the past\, all their collective experiences\, and make something new. \nBetts recently had turned solo after a touring stint with folk-rockers Dawes\, and would serve as an opening artist on the Devon Allman Project 2018 world tour\, as well as joining Allman each night for a musical tip of the hat to their respective fathers. The year-long trek was the first to pair Allman and Betts\, and saw the two tally nearly 100 dates at theatres and festivals nationally and internationally\, including a summer leg in Europe\, and notable appearances at Colorado’s venerable Red Rocks amphitheater\, the Peach Festival\, Gov’t Mule’s Island Exodus in Jamaica\, and a return to The Fillmore for the second annual\, sold-out Allman Family Revival. \n \n2018 provided them a certifiable proof-of-concept: Performing a repertoire gleaned mostly from their respective solo careers\, as well as a handful of Brothers gems\, the Devon Allman Project with Duane Betts consistently drew audiences growing in size and enthusiasm with each successive leg. \nNow\, they were both determined to embrace a new challenge; to write and record new music that could someday join the classics; to wow new audiences; to form a new band. During off-days on the bus or in hotel rooms\, Devon and Duane collaborated on new original material\, inviting respected songwriter Stoll Vaughn for writing sessions on the road. \nOn the still-smoldering heels of the hugely successful Project world tour\, Devon and Duane circled back to their roots for this ambitious next step. They called up their old friend Berry Duane Oakley\, son of the Allman Brothers Band’s founding late bassist\, Berry Oakley\, and floated the idea of joining them. The trio’s musical friendship traces back to The Allman Brothers Band’s 20th anniversary summer tour in 1989 when the three first met\, and often sat-in with the Rock-And-Roll Hall of Fame inductees; teenage descendants rightfully joining a rock-and-roll legacy. \n \nAs well\, they recruited seasoned players from the Project ensemble: slide guitar sorcerer Johnny Stachela\, drummer John Lum\, and percussionist R Scott Bryan (Sheryl Crow). In November of 2018\, they announced the formation of The Allman Betts Band. \nEnlisting producer Matt Ross-Spang (Jason Isbell\, Margo Price) the band booked a post-Thanksgiving week at the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. They brought in Gregg’s former bandmate\, Peter Levin\, and former Allman Brother and current Rolling Stone’s keybordist Chuck Leavell as guests\, adding organ and piano. For a subsequent world tour\, they recruited keyboardist John Ginty (Dixie Chicks\, Robert Randolph). Motivated by classic recording techniques and vintage gear in the historic Alabama studio\, they cut the album live. No computers. No digital editing. Setting-up as one in the studio\, they tracked nine songs on two-inch analog tape\, resulting in their debut album\, Down to the River\, a Top-10 entry on several rock charts including Number One on iTunes Rock\, released in June of ’19. \nThe Allman Betts Band is: \n\nDevon Allman– guitar\, vocals\nDuane Betts– guitar\, vocals\nBerry Duane Oakley– bass\, vocals\nJohnny Stachela– guitar\, vocals\nJohn Ginty– keyboards\nR Scott Bryan– percussion\, vocals\nJohn Lum– drums\n\n  \nwebsite | facebook | youtube \n \n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR SHOW SPONSOR\n\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nAdd this event to your calendar: URL:https://thecenterforthearts.org/event/the-allman-betts-band/ LOCATION:The Center for the Arts\, 314 W Main St\, Grass Valley\, CA\, 95945\, United States CATEGORIES:_Performing Arts,Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thecenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/200315-Allman-Betts-Band_WEB_960x540.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210909T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20210909T200000 DTSTAMP:20210302T085547 CREATED:20200522T211658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210105T011400Z UID:6584-1631217600-1631217600@thecenterforthearts.org SUMMARY:Los Lobos DESCRIPTION:Los Lobos has sold millions of records\, won prestigious awards and made fans around the world. But perhaps its most lasting impact will be how well its music embodies the idea of America as a cultural melting pot. In it\, styles like son jarocho\, norteño\, Tejano\, folk\, country\, doo-wop\, soul\, R&B\, rock ’n’ roll and punk all come together to create a new sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts. Their journey began in 1973\, when Hidalgo (vocals\, guitar\, and pretty much anything with strings)\, Perez (drums\, vocals\, guitar)\, Rosas (vocals\, guitar)\, and Lozano (bass\, vocals\, guitarrón) earned their stripes playing revved-up versions of Mexican folk music in restaurants and at parties. The band evolved in the 1980s as it tapped into L.A.’s burgeoning punk and college rock scenes. They were soon sharing bills with bands like the Circle Jerks\, Public Image Ltd. and the Blasters\, whose saxophonist\, Steve Berlin\, would eventually leave the group to join Los Lobos in 1984. Early on\, Los Lobos enjoyed critical success\, winning the Grammy® for Best Mexican-American Performance for “Anselma” from its 1983 EP …And a Time to Dance. A major turning point came in 1987 with the release of the Ritchie Valens biopic\, La Bamba. Through the years\, they’ve managed to keep things interesting with unexpected side trips like an album of Disney songs in 2009\, along with countless contributions to tribute albums and film soundtracks. One of those – “Mariachi Suite” from the 1995 film Desperado ¬– earned the band a Grammy® for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. \nLOS LOBOS website | facebook | instagram | youtube\n \n \n\n\n\n \nLOS LOBOS\n\nThursday\, September 9\, 2021\nDoors: 7 PM | Showtime: 8 PM \nReserved Seating: $35-$50 \nGet Tickets \n  \n  \nGenre: Rock\, Folk\, Country\, Traditional \n  \n\n  \n  \nBecome a member to get discounted tickets\, early access\, flexible exchanges and more! \nQuestions?

Their material is welcoming in terms of subject\, folk-pop melody and instrumentation — songs of love\, loss\, and environment\, delivered with soaring\, interwoven vocals on various combinations of stomping clawhammer banjo\, guitar and harmonica. With a stage banter striking a unique balance between slapstick and sermon\, these veteran singer-songwriters have a way of making time disappear\, rooms shrink\, and audiences feel as though they are right there on the stage with the band. It’s not uncommon for listeners to find themselves laughing\, dancing\, crying\, or caught up in a good ol’ fashioned sing-along. \n  \nTHE SMALL GLORIES website | facebook | instagram | youtube \n  \n\n  \nTHE SMALL GLORIES\nThursday\, September 23\, 2021\nThe Center for the Arts \nDoors: 6:30 PM | Showtime: 7:30 PM \nGeneral Admission $30 – $35 \nGet Tickets \n  \n  \nGenre: Country\, Folk\, Roots \nSimilar Shows: Suzy Bogguss | Front Country | Sierra Hull \n  \n\n  \nBecome a member to get discounted tickets\, early access\, flexible exchanges and more! \nQuestions?

This simple two chord song has been on the lips and in the hearts of the world since its initial release in 1968. This American classic debuted on the cutting edge English rock band\, Traffic’s second album. It has become one of the most powerful and enduring tracks in all of rock and roll history. \n  \nBest known for his soulful voice and unsurpassed guitar playing\, Dave Mason was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame as a founding member of the group Traffic and continues performing as a solo artist with sold-out shows. His career spans several important rock eras and encompasses his work as a producer\, performer\, songwriter and consummate guitarist. Mason’s Feelin’ Alright Tour will feature all the classic songs fans love\, such as Only You Know And I Know\, We Just Disagree\, Every Woman\, All Along The Watchtower\, Rock N Roll Stew\, and of course\, Feelin’ Alright. In addition\, you will hear songs that have inspired him\, as well as personal stories about rock music that only can be told by a man who has actually walked that historical path. Mason is a legendary living classic rock artist and will be joined by his band\, Johnne Sambataro on guitar and vocals\, Alvino Bennett on drums\, Anthony Patler on bass\, keyboards and vocals\, and Gretchen Rhodes on vocals.  \n  \nDAVE MASON website | facebook | instagram | youtube \n  \n\nDAVE MASON: THE FEELIN’ ALRIGHT TOUR\nFriday\, October 15\, 2021\nDoors: 7 PM | Showtime: 8 PM \nReserved Seating: $55 – $70 \nOn Sale Dates:\nEncore Club: May 18\, 2021\nMembers Only: May 25\, 2021\nPublic Tickets Available: June 1\, 2021\nGet Tickets \nGenre: Singer-Songwriter\nSimilar Shows: The Allman Betts Band | Los Lobos | Classic Albums Live CCR \n  \n\n  \nBecome a member to get discounted tickets\, early access\, flexible exchanges and more! \nQuestions?

When she later spent two years living in Scottsdale\, she disliked the locale so much that the only thing she enjoyed was attending art festivals\, so that’s when her collecting began in earnest. \nTwo years later\, she moved to Nevada County and found it to be a haven for talented artists and fun art shows.  Her collection grew rapidly over the past 19 years and now encompasses some 400 pieces—paintings (watercolor\, oil\, acrylic\, collage\, pastel\, encaustic)\, drawings\, sculpture (metal\, clay\, glass\, wood)\, pottery\, beading\, fabric\, assemblages\, and many indefinable odds and ends. \nHindi’s collection tends toward the whimsical or quirky and colorful—few pieces with people in them\, most of animals or nature.  They run from a three inch gourd anteater to a six foot tall metal and glass assemblage. There is no rationale for what she likes and why she buys it\, other than pieces with color\, humor and/or distinctiveness catch her eye.  And now that her walls\, shelves and floors are completely full\, she has to forego any large art—or else she will have to start putting them on the ceiling. \nThe pieces in this display at The Center for the Arts consist mostly of wall art\, with only several floor pieces added for balance.  Almost all of the sculpture\, pottery\, glass and small pieces were left at her home—too easily broken. \nThe purpose of this exhibit of Hindi’s art collection is to show off the amazing talent of local artists and also to preview a small number of the art pieces that will someday be received by The Center for the Arts as a bequest from Hindi’s Trust\, to be sold to the public as a fundraiser for The Center (hopefully\, it will be a long time until that happens).  You\, too\, can donate art to The Center; contact them to find out how to do so. \n  \n\nRepresented Artists\n  \n\nBarbara Harris\nBetsy Lombard\nBob Libutti\nCheryl Wilson\nPhotography by David Wong\nDeborah Bridges\nDebra Gudge\nDenise Wey\nDouglas Truth\nEileen Blodgett\nGinny Davis – Metal Garden Art\nGwyn Stramler\nHelga Scarlett\nHindi Greenberg\nHoward Levine\nJennifer Rugge\nJessica Subotnik\nJudy Beck\nKathryn Wronski\nLinda Lewis-Taylor\nLisa Lang\nLiz Collins\nMargie Miller\nMarie Wolfe\nPaul Honatke\nPeggy Levine\nRichard Downs\nRobert – Neighborhood Center for the Arts\nSharon Griffiths\nSteve – Neighborhood Center for the Arts\nSteve Solinsky\nSusan Crocenzi\nSusan Lobb Porter\nSusan Michalski\nTricia Burbank\nYvon Dockter\n\n  \n\nContact\n  \nFor more information please contact the Gallery Manager\, Brynn Farwell\, at gallery@thecenterforthearts.org. \n  \n\n  URL:https://thecenterforthearts.org/event/greenberg-collection/ LOCATION:The Granucci Gallery\, 314 West Main Street\, Grass Valley\, CA\, 95945\, United States CATEGORIES:_Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thecenterforthearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/200225-WEB.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
