misc_none Adopt a Shelter Cat Month at Woods Humane Society Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Contact: Steve Kragenbrink   805-543-9316 x19   skragenbrink@woodshumane.org
    June is “National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month”

Woods Humane Society encourages you to “Adopt and make it for Life”! June is National Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and Woods Humane Society is celebrating our 58th Anniversary by reducing the adoption fee for all adult felines (over 6 months of age) and asking adopters to “NAME YOUR OWN PRICE” for the entire month!

Did you know there are proven benefits to owning cats? Besides having an adorable face to wake up to every morning, cats have been proven to help in many ways, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing stress and anxiety levels, improving moods, easing depression, reducing loneliness, and providing companionship. 

Woods can help with finding your perfect match.  For the past year, Woods has implemented the Meet Your Match Feline-alityAdoption Program, a program of the ASPCA®.  By using the “feline-ality” assessor tests, the personality of each cat can be detected, whether it is a “party animal,” a “sidekick,” or a “love bug.”  Then Woods can match what cat personality would best suit the adopter and his or her needs. 

“The goal for every adoption is to find a loving home for our cats,” says Steve Kragenbrink, WHS Community Programs Director. “The Feline-ality program helps us do that. It helps our adoption counselors match the expectations and lifestyles of the adopters with the behaviors and feline-alities of the cats.”

By adopting in June, Woods allows future cat-owners to choose the price for their new furry friend.  Furthermore, each adoptable feline is already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped prior to going home.  If you are looking to bring a loving new companion feline into your life, please consider stopping by Woods Humane Society at 875 Oklahoma Avenue in San Luis Obispo and spend some time getting to know all of the truly wonderful adult cats who are desperately seeking a home to call their own!

#####
 
Founded in 1955, Woods Humane Society has proudly served the homeless animals of San Luis Obispo County for 58 years. Woods Humane Society is an animal sheltering and welfare organization based in San Luis Obispo that annually places over 1,100 dogs and cats into loving homes. Woods Humane Society has performed over 17,000 spay/neuter surgeries since opening our surgical center in September 2007.  WHS’ adoption center is located at 875 Oklahoma Avenue in San Luis Obispo. Call us at 805-543-9316 or visit www.woodshumane.org to donate or learn more.

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ARTS COMMISSION:
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, CA


W. Dibblee Hoyt: Far Reaches

Recently the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission conducted an on-line search for past students of photojournalist Dibblee Hoyt culminating in a juried photographic exhibition, W.Dibblee Hoyt: Far Reaches. The Arts Commission will present the exhibition of photographs of mentor/teacher, Dibblee Hoyt and selected students: Sherri Chavez, Phyllis Daniels, Cathy Gregg, Debbie Fuller, Raymond Lopez, Sandy Peterson, and Lynda Schiff.

For many years, Dibblee Hoyt taught at Alan Hancock College and at classes throughout Santa Barbara's North County. This exhibition celebrates the far reaches of his teaching and the many students whose work ws inspired by his dedication and love of his craft.

Channing Peake Gallery, at the County Administration Building, 105 E. Anapamu St., Santa Barbara
Opening Reception: 1st Thursday, June 6, 2013 in Santa Barbara

Betteravia Galleria in Santa Maria in October of 2013


W. Dibblee Hoyt is a Santa Barbara native and received his first camera from his father at age six. In high school his father gave him a small Argus and light meter. He asked Dibblee to track his exposures and would review each exposure and point out what he was doing right or wrong. As Dibblee said, "This for me, began a long love affair with capturing images. I learned to develop and print my images in a bomb shelter darkroom in high school and while in college studied journalism and graphics." He worked as a photojournalist and writer for several publications and traveled to many countries ncluding Russia, Eastern Europe, Mexico and Central America. In 2002, Hoyt began teaching photography at Alan Hancock and in 2005 was the recipient of the part-time faculty excellence award. He is one of the founding members of the Santa Ynez Camera Club and also teh Lompoc Photographers Guild of which the majority of its members are former students. Through his teaching, he has inspired and mentored many of his students to pursue professional careers in photography.

The photographs of W. Dibblee Hoyt and his past students are committed to capturing both the colorful ranch life and the incomparable beauty of the landscape around them. These former students have looked through Dibblee's eyes and learned, fired with his passion for photography, and have honored the legacy of this mentor and teacher who has taught them how to see and who has left his own indelible mark on the land.

Many years ago, Dibblee Hoyt moved back to an old farm house on the Rancho San Julian where he remembered all the sights, sounds, and smells of his ranching childhood. The Rancho San Julian was first established in 1817 as a source for meat, tallow, leather, and horses for the soldiers of the King of Spain at the Presidio in Santa Barbara. In lieu of back wages, Captain Jose de la Guerra, recieved Rancho San Julian and the Ranch passed along through the matrilineal when the Dibblee brothers purchased the Rancho San Julian, and Thomas Bloodgood Dibblee married Francisca de la Guerra. When the Dibblee brothers both died in 1895, Thomas' descendants retained the San Julian. The Ranch has been in the family for over 200 years. "I can say without exception, we dearly love and value this land, its significance in our local history, and the fact that so many who come before us, have left their mark here, " wrote Hoyt.

misc_none 6:00 PM  -  9:00 PM Polio Fundraiser at Doc Burnstein's Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Contact: Deb Linden   805-598-5349   dlinden@comcast.net
    On June 20, 2013, in order to raise awareness and critically-needed funds to fight the crippling disease of polio, the Rotary Clubs in San Luis Obispo, Pismo/Five Cities, Arroyo Grande, and Grover Beach, and the Rotaract Club of San Luis Obispo, will be holding a fundraising night at Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab in Arroyo Grande, CA.
 
Doc’s will be donating a portion of the proceeds from all ice cream sold between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm that night to Rotary International to help eradicate polio worldwide. We’ll be helped by several “celebrity scoopers,” including Burnardo'z Founder and Doc Burnstein's inspiration, Chuck Burns; San Luis Obispo Sheriff Ian Parkinson; San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Public Information Office Tony Cipolla, actor Lou Ferrigno (also known as The Incredible Hulk), and other very special guests. 

This fundraiser comes at an important time in the fight to eradicate polio. The number of cases of the disease has never been lower, and only three countries (Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) still remain active for polio. However, a funding gap means immunization campaigns are being cut in high-risk countries, leaving children more vulnerable to polio..
 
Rotary, a humanitarian service organization with nearly 34,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, made polio eradication its top priority in 1985.  Rotary has since contributed US$1.2 billion, and its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. Remarkable progress has been made;since 1988, the number of polio cases has been reduced from 350,000 a year to fewer than 250 cases in 2012. 
 
There is no cure for polio, but for as little as 60 cents worth of oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life.

Rotary International is the volunteer fundraising arm of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative—a public-private partnership that also includes the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

    Paso Robles Hams gear up to set long distance contact records and practice emergency communication skills.
  
Members of the Paso Robles Amateur Radio Club will work ‘round the clock this weekend to set up field radio communication stations, get on the air and contact thousands of other operators in the US and Canada as participants in the American Radio Relay League’s Field Day.
 
According to Joel Kaye, AD6KH, Club President, Field Day is the annual “shakedown run” for the ARRL’s National Field Organization. “Field Day is a way for hams to get outdoors and have fun under some difficult conditions,” Kaye says, “but it’s also a chance to fine-tune emergency communication skills.  We use generators and battery power and we set up antennas in the field.  The idea is to put together a self-sufficient, working station quickly and begin making contacts.”
 
The ARRL Field Organization has been effective in establishing emergency communication nets during floods, hurricanes, fires, earthquakes and other major disasters.  Field Day offers training for such emergencies as well as providing a contest environment where the objective is to make the highest number of contacts during the 24 hour contest period.
 
The Paso Robles Field Day activities will beheld in the parking area for the Administration building at SouthShoreSan AntonioLake.  From Paso Robles, South Shore of San Antonio lake can be reached by driving west on G14, Nacimiento Lake Drive, ( 24 St.) to G14 Interlake, just north of Nacimiento Lake Dam.  Turn left on G14 Interlake, and drive to San Antonio Lake Drive, which is approximately a half mile into Monterey County.  Turn right onto San Antonio Lake Drivefor one mile to the entrance of San AntonioLake.  Distance is Approximately 30 miles with a drive time of about fifty minutes.  The Administration building is located at the intersection of San Antonio Driveand Lynch.  
 
From the north, InterlakeG14can be reached at the Junction of Jolon Road and Interlake at the town of Lockwood.  Drive south on Interlake to junction of San Antonio Lake Drive.  Turn Left onto San Antonio Lake Drive to the entrance of the Lake.
 
Set up will be completed on Saturday morning, June 22nd, with the contest starting at noonand running until Sunday noon, June 23rd.  The public is invited to come and see Amateur Radio communication in action.

“Inspiration for my stories comes from my travels, my teaching experience and contact with children.  I illustrate most of my own stories with my photographs and drawings, although I have collaborated with other artists and even children for illustrations.” 
 “In addition to fiction, I have written a wildlife series of non-fiction books, including giraffes, hippos, elephants, zebras and others. These are in verse and illustrated with my photographs, many of them taken in Africa on safari.” (from Beryl’s website)
 
Beryl is an artist and story teller, living on the Central California Coast in San Luis Obispo.  During the last six years, she has written and illustrated children books. 
    Before she came to San Luis Obispo, she taught school and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
    Traveling extensively throughout the world including countries in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia, she has taken many photographs which she uses in her art work and books.  These travels have given her a broader understanding of the world and other cultures and have been an inspiration for many of her children’s stories.  Other story ideas come from her contact with children, who are a never ending source of delight.

Performances of this prize-winning dramatic comedy continue on the following Saturdays: June 22, July 20, August 10 & 31 at the Village Country Club at 4300 Clubhouse Road.  Dinner selections include Tri Tip, Chicken Piccata, or Eggplant Parmesan, all served with salad, rolls, coffee, and dessert.  Tickets are only $40 for dinner and the show.  Doors open at 6:00, dinner is served at 6:30 and the show begins at 7:30.  Dessert will be served during intermission.  Reservations are required; first reserved, first seated.  RESERVATIONS ARE DUE ON THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE EACH SHOW.  For more information and reservations, call LCT @ 735-2281. http://www.LompocCivicTheatre.com

Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands
Turning Water Scarcity into Water Abundance; Vol.1, 2nd Edition 


Tuesday, June 25, 2013
7:30 pm, $5 donation 
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery

 
Rainwater Harvesting expert Brad Lancaster returns to Santa Barbara with his newly published 2nd Edition of his award winning, best selling book Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands; Turning Water Scarcity into Water Abundance, Vol. 1, 2nd Edition on Tuesday, June 25.

Brad's books have always encouraged readers to turn water scarcity into water abundance by welcoming rain into our lives, landscapes and soils.  In this newly updated 2nd edition, Brad updates real life case studies for harvesting rainwater, completely renovates the approach to seeing & understanding sediment flows, and adds more tools for harvesting rainwater and other often overlooked free on-site resources, such as wind, sun, and shade. 

Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rain and making the most of it as close as possible to where it falls.  By harvesting rainwater on the land within the soil and vegetation, or in cisterns that will later irrigate the land, it is possible to control erosion, reduce flooding, and minimize water pollution.  This practice is enormously beneficial in a world with a finite supply of fresh water that is becoming increasingly polluted.

Although rainwater harvesting has been accomplished by humans in virtually every drought vulnerable region of the world for millennia, our society, until very recently with the help of people like Brad Lancaster, seemed to have a collective amnesia about the utility, efficiency, and beauty of rainwater harvesting practices. 

Brad Lancaster is an author, permaculture teacher, designer & consultant, and co-founder of Desert Harvesters (DesertHarvesters.org). Brad has taught programs for the ECOSA Institute, Columbia University, University of Arizona, Prescott College, Audubon Expeditions, and many others. He has helped design integrated water harvesting and permaculture systems for homeowners and gardeners, including the Tucson Audubon Simpson Farm restoration site; the Milagro & Stone Curves co-housing projects.  Brad lives on an eighth of an acre in downtown Tucson, Arizona, where annual rainfall is less than 12 inches. He practices what he preaches by harvesting over 100,000 gallons of rainwater a year, and with his brother Rodd, have created an oasis in the desert by directing harvested rainwater into a thriving landscape that includes abundant gardens, food bearing trees, and habitat for wildlife, instead of into the streets and storm drains of Tucson.

The evening talk & book signing takes place at the Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery, 40 East Anapamu St, SB, 93101, in downtown Santa Barbara, on Tuesday, June 25, 7:30-9pm. $5 donation, no reservations required.  Co-sponsored by Santa Barbara Permaculture Network ,Sweetwater Collaborative & Permaculture Credit Union  .   For more information, please call (805) 962-2571, margie@sbpermaculture.org.

Drawing on influences from jazz, rock, classical, and bluegrass, Inner Faces has been performing their unique brand of string music on the Central Coast for over 20 years.  The trio writes its own music and has created a distinctive sound that’s difficult to categorize.  This has resulted in the production of two original CDs entitled “Beneath the Surface” and “Best Laid Plans”.
 
Inner Faces has been featured twice at the Live Oak Music Festival, The Mozart Festival (now Festival Mosaic), and at numerous other concert venues in California.  The ensemble has also performed on several live radio programs, including public radio. 
 
In 2012, Inner Faces started weaving in vocal compositions into their sets that draw on rock and Americana music roots.
 
Tom Waltershas played mandolin with a variety of ensembles and recorded as a sideman on several local recording projects. Besides instrumental compositions, he also composes ballads for guitar and voice that help fill out the trio’s original sound
 
Guitarist Bruce Corelitz is a graduate of the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles and a veteran of rock, blues and jazz bands on the Central Coast.  His unconventional approach to guitar and composition grows out of a rich background of diverse musical interests. 
 
Bassist Ken Hustad is a well-known performer and recording artist on the Central Coast and beyond. He is a member of the San Luis Obispo Symphony and the Festival Mosaic Orchestra.  In addition to playing with the some of the most prominent jazz groups in the area, Ken teaches bass and cello privately and at Cuesta Community College.

On Saturday, July 6th, the Dunes Center will be leading a hike through the Black Lake area owned by the Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County in honor of Kathleen Goddard Jones' birthday.

In the 1960s, Kathleen Goddard Jones worked for the preservation of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes as open space for the enjoyment of the general public. The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Complex was zoned for industry at the time and would look very different today if not for Jones. She passed away in October 2001.

The first 25 arrivals will receive a complimentary copy of Defender of the Dunes: The Kathleen Goddard Jones Story

Directions:
The approximate address for the hike location is 1150 Mesa View Drive, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420. Look for Randy Lane. Randy Lane is an unmarked dirt road that goes over the railroad tracks. Drive over the railroad tracks and past the gates on the left hand side. Do not go to the right on the Dune Lakes Ltd. Property. Drive towards the eucalyptus trees and park in between the trees in the wide open area.

About the book:
 
 
When Steve McKuen, former drug dealer, faces a threat to his legitimate business, he’s unprepared and unable to cope with it.
John Christian, a psychopathic con artist who murdered his mother, has created an almost perfect counterfeiting method, and tries to get revenge on McKuen for the death of his sister.
The enigmatic Tamra Morrison illuminates aspects of a bigger picture, while Annie McCarthy, a beautiful undercover agent, creates a dilemma for him.
After McKuen is almost killed in a horrible accident, he turns to his loyal assistant, Dennis Reneaux, and legendary detective, Charlotte Coil, to bring Christian to justice.

misc_none Dasha Shishkin & Edgar Orlaineta Exhibition Remind Me about this Event Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Contact: Cayla Mihalovich   805-966-5373   press@caf.org
    Exhibition on view: July 7 - September 8
 
Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum is organizing a one-person exhibition by New York-based artist Dasha Shishkin. Presenting new work specifically for CAF, Shishkin is known for her large, colorful drawings on semi-transparent mylar surfaces, which utilize a variety of media including acrylic, ink, and Conté. While her artwork is figurative in nature, evoking fable-like qualities, the artist eschews any concrete narrative.  Rather, her complex compositions broadly contemplate themes of romance, eroticism, humor, and the grotesque.
 
Born in Moscow, Russia, Dasha Shishkin currently lives and works in New York, NY.  She received her MFA from Columbia University, New York, NY (2006) and her BFA from the New School for Social Research, New York, NY (2001).  Shishkin has recently shown in solo exhibitions at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, CA; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, OH; Zach Feuer Gallery, New York, NY; and group exhibitions at Oakland University Art Gallery, Rochester, MI; Joe Sheftel Gallery, New York, NY; and Denver Art Museum, CO. She is represented by Zach Feuer Gallery, New York, NY.

Bloom Projects: Edgar Orlaineta, Katsina Horizon

Orlaineta’s work focuses on the minutiae of everyday life, thus transforming them into sculptural forms. Inspired by modernist design and its legacy, the artist combines hybrid forms where modernist ideals and contemporary realities collide.  Orlaineta has written, “My investigations into modernist ideals praise both subject and form in modern art and design, as well as the contradictory ideologies that are forced upon the work due to a certain legacy within a larger historical/cultural context. Ultimately, I try to direct attention to the transformative powers of the everyday and its relentless aspiration for a utopian way of life.” Orlaineta will produce new work for Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum’s Bloom Projects gallery in the summer of 2013.  

Edgar Orlaineta was born in Mexico City, where he currently lives and works. He received his MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, and a BFA from Escuela Nacional de Pintura y Grabado, Mexico City, Mexico. His work has been shown at Steve Turner Contemporary, Los Angeles, CA; Casa Estudio Luis Barragan, Mexico City, Mexico; Sara Meltzer Gallery, New York, NY; and Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA. He is represented by Galeria de Arte Mexicano, Mexico City, Mexico.

“The Colony”, the musical, is an organic production like the colony of Atascadero itself.  Written and produced by local talent, it depicts the early days of the town in two acts.  The first act debuted in 1994; the second act was added and performed in 1995.   Always intended to include an epilogue, the entire production will be performed publicly for the very first time as the crowning jewel of our Centennial celebration.
 
A cast of more than sixty local adults and children will dance, sing and act their way through a poignant and, at times, humorous account of the early days of Atascadero, beginning in the tent city of E.G. Lewis’ utopian vision.
 
Script and lyrics by Anet Carlin, founder of the Brickyard Theatre and co-founder of Great American Melodrama And Vaudeville and the Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts.  Music and lyrics were written by Colleen Goulding Lord, a voice and piano instructor, she was also a Pioneer Player and a former board meDiamber of that same organization.  The epilogue was written by Lon Allan.  Musical arrangement is by Stephen Tosh with a score that includes original songs and standards of the day.   John Lambie, our director is a veteran singer, actor, director and instructor with experience throughout Central and Southern California, including North County, Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts and Hollywood!
 
Performances will be free and presented in the Sunken Gardens utilizing the City’s historic Administration building as the backdrop on Saturday, July 20th and Sunday, July 21st   at 6pm.  Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy or purchase food and drink from vendors that will be set up nearby.

    SLOFolks presents the John Jorgenson Quintet at Castoro Cellars,Templeton, 805-238-0725 $22.  Part of the SLOFolks Outdoor Summer Concert series.

John Jorgenson Quintet features guitarist John Jorgenson, a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, the Hellecasters, and six-year member of Elton John's band.  Artists ranging from Barbra Streisand to Bonnie Raitt to Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson's guitar work.  Recently, John Jorgenson was chosen to portray Django Reinhardt in the feature film Head in the Clouds.

Extraordinarily gifted, guitarist John Jorgenson's pedigree is second to none. In the mid-80s along with ex-Byrd Chris Hillman he co-founded The Desert Rose Band. While they clocked up five US number one singles Jorgenson won the Academy of Country Music's ‘Guitarist Of The Year' three consecutive times before forming the mightily acclaimed, much garlanded Hellecasters after which he was invited to play guitar for Elton John. Initially contracted for an eighteen month world tour the engagement lasted for six years. And – if all this wasn't enough – along the way Jorgenson has played with Barbara Streisand, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Benny Goodman to mention but a few. More recently he has championed the re-emergence of Gypsy jazz.

    The Bowmans (Sarah and Claire)

With harmonies that seem to come from one astonishing voice, The Bowmans share a rare, near telepathic musical bond. The identical twins have been called the “roller coaster” duo, with songs ranging from poignantly captivating to serendipitously joyful. Their music is concurrently sophisticated and imaginative, blending together the preserved vulnerability and abandoned glee of their Iowa childhood. The Bowmans deeply move and delight their audience world wide with uncanny, evocative, and unforgettable performances. Their style is a blend of Americana, Folk and Classical music.

Beginning in 2005, The Bowmans began a habit of incessant grassroots touring, performing in venues all across the United States. In 2006, encouraged by the selection of their pre-release “Diggin' for Gold” by NPR's All Songs Considered, their touring expanded to Europe. During this time, they completed their first critically acclaimed album, “Far from Home” released in 2007 on Mother West Records in the US and Continental Song City in Europe. Songs from the album were featured in MTV reality shows, Starbucks stores across the nation, a festival documentary film, regional radio throughout the U.S. and Europe, and national radio in the UK, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland. And, in 2008, The Bowmans were overjoyed to be selected by Paste Magazine to perform on the first Cayamo Journey through Songcruise (Sixthman Entertainment). In 2009, The Bowmans recorded a self-titled, self-released album with grammy winning producer, Malcolm Burn. In 2010, they recorded a live concert in the renowned PowerPlay studios in Switzerland for their third release, also independent.

In recent years, the dynamic duo has toured more lightly as Sarah Bowman relocated to Europe to launch a successful solo project and duo with her husband, Rene “Coal” Burrell. The Bowmans are planning a new release for the end of 2013 and will be hitting the road again.

Albums: Live at Powerplay Studios, 2010, The Bowmans, 2009, Far From Home 2007.

The Bowmans are featured on the Songwriters At Play showcase, which will include up to five other performers playing short sets beginning at 1pm.

    Many great works of art are born from tragedy, strife and struggle. These three pieces, written in different parts of the world in different time periods, represent the struggles each composer faced. In 1915 France was in the midst of World War I, and Debussy struggled with the cancer that would take his life. In addition to Napoleon’s invasion of Vienna and his deteriorating relationships with family, Beethoven also had to contend with deafness while writing Op. 95, one of his most celebrated quartets. And the String Quartet No. 6 was the last piece of music Bartok wrote in his native Hungary, having to flee the Nazis in World War II.

About: The ADaPT Festival consists of performances & conferences celebrating movement arts & experimental genres with educational forums and networking components.  In 2013 the ADaPT Festival returns to the United States as a bi-coastal Festival with ArtBark International serving as hosts.  Designed in a conference format, in addition to performances of dance, physical theater, and performance installation by world class artists, the 11-day event will include opportunities for artists to network, engage in dialog, and participate in classes. 

 In 2011 Sonne Blauma Danscz Theatre hosted the inaugural award winning dance and physical theater festival drawing more than 100 artists from five countries and 23 different cities with events in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The second year, Raw Matters and ADaPT participant Regina Picker hosted the festival in 2012 with events in Vienna, Austria at Palais Kablewerks and Contramass Galerie.  Associated with the ADaPT Festival series is ArtBark’s Affinity Project – which gives ADaPT artists a chance to reconnect for continued performance, education and information exchanges.  In 2012 Affinity events occurred in Santa Barbara, Pasadena, and Paris, France culminating in a five-day Festival in October 2012.

Santa Barbara Independent Arts Editor/Critic Charles Donelan  said, “The inaugural SB-ADaPT Festival took over Center Stage Theater last weekend with two full programs—Alpha and Omega—that brought together dance and physical theater companies from as far away as Istanbul and as close by as Long Beach to create a magical atmosphere of excitement and aesthetic adventure...SB-ADaPT contributed not only a beautifully executed set of programs to the community but also an example of how much can be accomplished on a small budget by like-minded artists willing to take chances and engage in genuine international exchange.”

The three-time Academy of Country Music Awards winning lineup was honed to perfection by their work with such leading bands as The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Manassas (Chris Hillman), The Dillards, The Laurel Canyon Ramblers, Emmy Lou Harris, Dan Fogelberg (Herb Pedersen), The Hellecasters, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Bob Seger, (John Jorgenson), Laurel Canyon Ramblers, Dan Fogelberg, and the Bluegrass Cardinals (Bill Bryson). 

The Desert Rose Band became one of the most sought after country music acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s compiling numerous “Top 10” and “Number 1” hits.  Their success led to three Country Music Association Awards and two Grammy nominations. This special reunion concert will give the Central Coast an opportunity to hear what the Washington Post described as “rich, four-part vocal harmonies with plenty of space for hotshot improvisational chops”. In an enthusiastic review of a live Los Angeles area concert, the LA Times observed,  “In the opening number of their 90 minute set, guitarist Jorgenson coaxed riffs that magically segued from bluegrass to Beatles in the course of a single phrase while he, Hillman and Pedersen knocked off exquisite three-part harmonies almost without batting an eye.” 


It’s the one summer concert scheduled for the Central Coast you will not want to miss. Seating is limited, so don’t be left out. Tickets are $40 on sale now and can be purchased at the www.pacslo.orgwebsite or by calling 805/756-4TIX.
 
This all-star concert is a benefit for St. Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox Church in San Luis Obispo.  The only Greek Orthodox Church between the Santa Barbara and Monterey/Salinas area, the church shares its faith and culture with the community through its San Luis Obispo Greek Festival in the summer and its “Evening in Greece” dinner/dance in October.

Zimbabwes pride, most successful artist and national treasure, Oliver Mtukudzi is gifted with a deep and gusty voice plus a talent for writing songs that reflect on the daily life and struggles of his people. 'Tuku' as he is known, began performing in 1977 and has earned a devoted following across Africa and beyond, all the while incorporating elements of different musical traditions. A member of Zimbabwe's Kore Kore tribe, with Nzou Samanyanga as his totem, he sings in the nation's dominant Shona language along with Ndebele and English.

Tuku's music is heavily influenced by a humanist chimurenga ethos, which, in turn, is inspired by the hypnotic rhythms of the mbira (thumb piano). His music also  incorporates South Africa mbaqanga and the energetic Zimbabwean pop style jit.   

Tuku (along with Angelique Kidjo, Hugh Masekela and Ladysmith Black Mambazo) is one of the most successful African recordings artists in North America, having sold hundreds of thousand of records on Putumayo, Heads Up/Telarc and Sheer Sound.

    Contact: Thaddeus Chapman   315-420-9356   thaddeuschapman@yahoo.com
    Join us for the opening reception of WELCOME TO THE FLR: Studies of Flying Lady Ranch Road by Thaddeus T Chapman.  There is no charge and no invitation necessary.  Everyone is welcome!  Come enjoy the original artwork, people, music, food and beverages at Forever Stoked Gallery on May 11th from 12pm to 10pm!

As a recent transplant to the Central Coast, the road to Thaddeus’ new home became the inspiration for his first California based show WELCOME TO THE FLR: Studies of Flying Lady Ranch Road.  This premiere series follows the gradual and unexpectedly sudden change in the local landscape over four seasons.  The paintings are intended to communicate the emotion of the artist when the image was captured; they embrace simplicity and complexity, isolation and connectivity.  “I want art to be accessible…approachable.  I paint because I want to share the beauty I see with others.”   
 
Thaddeus T Chapman has been a professional painter based in Central New York since 2000.  He graduated from Syracuse University in 2004 with a BFA in Illustration.  His paintings are created using gouache on paper—a technique that utilizes layers of the heavier, more opaque water-based paint to create works with a greater reflective quality.  Chapman utilizes reference photos of his subjects, which he uses to develop drawings.  Although he considers himself a portrait painter, his works vary from landscapes to abstracts and nudes.  Thaddeus’ work has been featured in the publication Making Music and his work was recently exhibited at Imagine Gallery in Skaneateles NY.
                                                                                                                            
The Forever Stoked artist collective was founded in 1998 by Charlie Clingman and Chris Pedersen. Recently they opened their own gallery in Morro Bay.  From original paintings to giclees, prints, greeting cards, stickers, and locally-crafted accessories, there is something for any budget. This spacious industrial style gallery showcases their art as well as other amazing artists.  Art opening receptions occur every few months and paintings are constantly rotated keeping the space fresh. We invite you to explore this fabulous gallery created by two friends who share a love of art, surfing, and nature.

Cantinas Ranch Foundation is a non-profit 501(C)(3) entity whose mission is to encourage talented Christian teen and college-level artists to promote healthy family values and interaction. Last year’s debut festival was a sold-out success drawing over 5,000 attendees to engage in a full day of festivities and entertainment by multi-platinum selling band MercyMe, Newsboys, Building 429 and breakout artist Kylie Rose.

“Knocking on heaven’s door once again on August 24, 2013, we hope you join us in seeking His presence and impacting families, future leaders, and the community, for the glory of God,” says Wendy Hughes, Co-Founder & Executive Director of Cantinas Ranch Foundation.

The 2013 Cantinas Music Festival will kick off at 12 p.m. PT with its popular Village Festival featuring an array of options in interactive fun for the entire family. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to experience live entertainment from various community vendors as they meet local artists and enjoy arts and crafts, photo booths, food concessions and more.

To coincide with this year’s music festival, Cantinas Ranch Foundation will once again host its annual Worship Song Talent Contest. Finalists will be chosen to perform in front of a soon-to-be announced all-star panel of judges at the festival.  In 2012, three frontrunners (out of thousands of submissions) were selected to take the stage before celebrity judges that included Today Show’s Kathie Lee Gifford, actress and former Full House star Candace Cameron Bure, and T.V./Feature Literary Agent Michael Van Dyck. The 2012 winner, Kyler Gentry, from Simi Valley, Calif., took home the grand prize of $2,000.

SAVE THE DATE
Saturday, September 7, 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM. We plan to “Grow the Garden” during our 2nd Annual “experience-based” fundraising auction. In the spirit of people not needing more "stuff" in their lives — and to do something so unique that we capture your imagination — the Garden's auction team is creating packages of special experiences, that cannot be purchased. So, rather than bringing home a "thing" from an auction, participants will be bidding on unique items that will enlighten, enrich, educate and entertain.

Keep a look out for our newest auction items at: http://slobg.org/auction/

Casa Serena’s 5th Annual “Celebrate Recovery” luncheon will be held on Saturday September 28, 2013 at the Santa Barbara Club, from 11:30-1:30. This event is the primary fundraiser for Casa Serena’s respected recovery programs for women in our community. The event includes a lunch provided by the Santa Barbara Club, silent auction, and entertainment.  Tickets are $95.00.
 
Casa Serena opened its doors on August 28, 1959. Founder Mildred Pinheiro, a woman in recovery herself, had a vision that all women committed to their recovery would have a safe place to get help. Millie dedicated her life to the realization of this dream and Casa Serena’s three recovery homes are the successful fruits of her labor.
 
In her honor, The Mildred Pinheiro “Pillar of Strength” Award will be presented to Judy Garrison and Denuse MacIntosh.  We are pleased to bestow this recognition to these two women who have supported the mission and vision of Casa Serena and women in recovery for many years.
Casa Serena is gratefully accepting sponsorships and auction donations for this event.
 
September is Recovery Month.  Recovery Month promotes the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance use disorders, celebrates people in recovery, lauds the contributions of treatment and service providers, and promotes the message that recovery in all its forms is possible. Recovery Month spreads the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective and people can and do recover.

The press and public are invited to attend.

Call For Entries 2013:  Morgan Carter, Julia Hickey, M. Helsenrott Hochhauser, Katy McCarthy, Marco Pinter, and Christopher Ulivo

MCA Santa Barbara showcases six stand-outs from the tri-counties in our annual Call For Entries (CFE) group exhibition, an opportunity that invited the artists to present newly commissioned work in the galleries.

Applicants were selected in Fall 2012 by a panel of distinguished jurors made up of art professionals currently working in the visual arts field including: Jill Dawsey, Associate Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; Cesar Garcia, Founder and Director of The Mistake Room, Los Angeles, CA, and the current U.S. Commissioner for the 13th International Cairo Biennale, Egypt; and Ruba Karib, Curator, Sculpture Center, New York, NY

Bloom Projects: Ro Snell, All that is left

Santa Barbara-based artist Ro Snell has been invited to create a new body of work for MCA Santa Barbara’s Fall 2013 iteration of Bloom Projects. All that is left will examine what remains, both physical and abstract, after a process or a period of time. The project considers what is left, not only in the material sense but also in the mind. Using assembled objects, re-contextualized organic forms, and combined printed images, the body of work will be an installation concerning perception, disintegration, emotion, and recollection.
 
Born in Malvern, England, UK, Snell currently lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA.  She received her MFA from George Washington University, Washington, DC, and BFA from Brighton University of Art, England, UK.  She has exhibited at The Arts Fund Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA; Atkinson Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA; and Tinsmiths, Ledbury, England, UK.
 
ADMISSION IS FREE
