    Sedona AZ (October 4, 2018) – Experience the figure in movement and stillness, and draw if you dare during the Sedona Arts Festival Draw-a-Thon, October 13, 10am-1pm, at Sedona Red Rock High School! Artists and attendees of the Sedona Arts Festival are invited to a unique opportunity to experience drawing the semi-clothed figure at a “Draw-a-thon,” where performer/models will dance into poses.

    At the Draw-a-thon, performance artist/models Pash Galbavy and Mark Stevens will dance into poses that will be based on their work together as performance artists and contact improvisational dancers. They will then offer 6-minute, “quick gesture” poses that attendees will be invited to draw. Attendees are welcome to watch or to draw on the easels, which are donated for the occasion by Sedona Arts Center.

    20181004_PANA9626“I waited 30 years to see something like this in Sedona,” local author, James Bishop, Jr. said about seeing the dancer/model performance at Sedona’s first Draw-a-thon, which was at at Sedona Arts Center last January. Bishop, who is a local arts icon, further stated: “Sedona’s art spirit is as strong as ever because people who love art truly need it in the same way as they need sunsets and oxygen.”

    Held against the backdrop of Sedona’s breathtaking red rock vistas, the Sedona Arts Festival will present its 28th annual fine art festival on Saturday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 14, 2018. Attracting artists from across the country, this renowned festival will showcase a diverse line up of over 100 juried artists as well as live music, food and art fun for the kids. Since its inception in 1989, the Sedona Arts Festival has funded nearly $300,000 to art programs and scholarships.

    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.
