    logo_neilrizosCamp Verde AZ (December 6, 2013) – Award winning artist Neil Rizos has been selected to present a printmaking demonstration at White Hills Gallery, at 325 S. Main St. in downtown Camp Verde, on the night of their holiday party, Saturday December 14th starting at 5pm. During the presentation, Rizos will offer a brief history of etching and demonstrate the process using his printing press.

    Rizos has been a professional artist for the past 25 years, working in a wide variety of media including painting, sculpting, and printmaking. His primary subject is birds in their natural habitat and he has traveled extensively from the Artic to the tropics to find inspiration for his etchings and paintings.

    20131206_Neil-Rizos-Goldeneyes1Rizos has been awarded numerous Artist Residencies throughout North America and Europe including Acadia National Park, Maine and Cill Rialaig, Ireland. He is a member of The National Arts Club, The Salmagundi Club and Allied Artists of America. In 2008, he was awarded the Gold Medal of Honor by the Allied Artists of America for his etching, ‘DeWinton’s Pool’. Rizos’ etchings are featured in the book, The American Sporting Print: 20th Century Etchers & Drypointists, which includes work by Frank W. Benson, Carl Rungius, Ogden Pleissner and others.

    Rizos is among the artists selected for the Verde Valley Land Preservation’s traveling art exhibit, “A River Runs Thru Us.” The selected artists created works of art inspired by the Verde River that make up the traveling exhibit. The exhibit will travel through the watershed area and is currently on display at the Clarkdale Library in Clarkdale until January 3rd. Rizos’ piece, along with all the art on display, is available for auction at auctions.verdeartistchallenge.org.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
