    Verde Valley News – From October 13-16, 2022, fifteen professional artists will take their studios outdoors, painting at scenic locations around the Prescott area as part of the 3rd Annual Prescott Plein Air Art Festival. Presented by the Highlands Center for Natural History and the City of Prescott, in partnership with the Prescott National Forest, Touchmark at the Ranch, Yavapai College Art Gallery and Mountain Artists Guild this special event will showcase Prescott’s natural, historical, and architectural beauty. There will also be a pre-exhibit and sale at Yavapai College Gallery, artist demos, and a post-exhibit and sale at Mountain Artists Guild in Prescott.

    Referencing the French expression for “in the open air,” plein air art festivals involve artists who paint in outdoor settings and strive to capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their work. Artists participating in the Prescott Plein Air Art Festival have been selected by a jury and hail from across Arizona, as well as New Mexico and Utah. They may be found painting anywhere throughout Yavapai County, and the public is invited to observe and engage with them at no cost as they create their art.

    Yavapai College Prescott Art Gallery is exhibiting paintings by 13 of the regional artists in an exciting pre-event exhibit and sale that began August 11 and will run through October 2, 2022.

    An opening reception will be held at the Yavapai College Prescott Art Gallery during the 4th Friday Art Walk on August 26 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. A cash bar and hors d’oeuvres will be available at the reception. Then, on September 7 from 6pm-7pm, Russell Johnson will give an Artist Talk in the gallery.

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
