Jerome AZ (July 31, 2018) – Visit the Jerome Art Center on Saturday, August 4^th for two community collaborative art-making events.

Karon Leigh invites families with children ten and under to participate in a free collaborative painting process, working together to create a mural-sized painting celebrating life in the Verde Valley from 10am – 1pm in studio 201 of building A. When children engage in hands-on art activities, they learn much better in all disciplines. Collaborative art projects connect children with a shared language that crosses other cultural boundaries. The finished work will be on display during Art Walk, 5-8pm.

Visual Artist, Beth Courtright-Detwiler of Word is Art studio will be hosting an ART POP-UP event at the Jerome Art Center on August 4th. This free public arts event is open to visitors of all ages and will be held during the day, from 10am-2pm, and again during the evening’s Open Studio Jerome Art Walk tour, 5 – 8 pm.

This creative and collaborative art experience will engage visitors in multiple stations of hands-on art-making activities, including: drawing and sketching, pin-back button making, and the implementation of a new large paneled colorful interactive art mural titled the “Community Flower Garden” which will be executed in the artist’s signature masking-tape art medium. This is an open-ended art activity that can be accessed throughout the day. Water and light refreshments will be provided.

As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
