    20191203_HuhCottonwood AZ (December 3, 2019) – It’s not too late to shop for the Holidays, and enjoy the festive spirit of Old Town Cottonwood. Lights and decorations are up from the Chocolate Walk and Christmas Parade, and the Art & Cultural Walk gives plenty of opportunities to see new art and meet the artists!

    20191203_ChadraStart at The Muse Gallery on the corners of N Main and N 5th Streets. Three feature artists with an array of talents from macrame (knotting they call it, too!), to ceramics and alcohol inks, offer gorgeous AND functional art. Willow Wright incorporates native woods like algerita, manzanita, and mesquite or found objects like driftwood and seashells, crystals, rocks, and stones into her macrame. This is the perfect excuse for Miss Wright to visit beautiful places around the world as inspiration for her art, while finding just the right accoutrements to adorn her hangings.

    Chandra Hemminger is inspired by the land of Northern Arizona, the ancient culture and the art of the region. Much of her work reflects this allure, as she blends the patterns of landscape topography and respectfully borrows design elements from the historical pottery of the Southwest Native Americans.

    A few years go, Kimberley Stinson moved to Cottonwood with her husband and two dogs. She immediately fell in love with the beauty of her new desert home and found renewed inspiration in the discovery of Alcohol Ink. She loves the fluidity and vibrancy of the medium and has developed a unique, trademark style. Her boutique coasters and tiles have also been created by Muse students in-house during classes taught by Mrs. Stinson.

    All three of these serve both purposes: with macrame and rare wood shelves for plants, ceramic mugs, plates and serving dishes, and alcohol ink wall hangings, as well as coasters. Both functional and beautiful. Who doesn’t love a gift that was made by hand, and selected with love? For more Muse classes, events and hours, visit the-muse-gallery.com or call (928) 634-0003.

We are right down 5th after the Muse Gallery and Center for the Arts.

    20191203_HuhBack on N Main Street and one block into town on N 4th, stop at Arizona Regional Ceramics – Contemporary Fine Art to see the narrative sculpture of Travis Winters. As the artist states, “By creating comical figures, I am initiating a non-threatening conversation about a variety of topics prevalent within our culture. Captivating the imagination of the viewer through open-ended stories. I invite the fabrication of personal narratives and encourage an intimate connection with the characters.” For more information please call 928-202-9070.

    Around the bend, 3 Kings Kasbar presents the works of Heidi Danahy. Miss Danahy is an artist who works with animal skulls, capturing the spirit of the animal and showing the magic in each of them. She lives and works in Sedona, Arizona and her colorful, fantastical skulls and dolls pay homage to the animals of the area. Visit 3kingskasbar.com for more information and hours.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
