    logo_jeromeartwalkJerome AZ (August 22, 2016) – Jerome Art Walk continues its momentum on September 3rd with its first Saturday celebration of art. Twenty-five galleries and studios will be open from 5:00 to 8:00 PM with art, music and refreshments. This free event has become a Verde Valley favorite with a shuttle that will transport you from the artist filled Old Jerome High School, up to the center of town with The Lincoln Gallery and Made in Jerome Pottery and everything in-between. The holiday weekend is the perfect time to enjoy late night dinner hours at Jerome’s great restaurants, enjoy some live music and maybe spend the night. This holiday weekend promises to be a lively and festive time in the mile high town.

    “Soul Food: Places and Spaces to Nourish the Spirit” continues at the Jerome Artists’ Cooperative. Mike Koopsen has always been passionate about the natural world and the beauty that surrounds us. As a photographer, it is one of the reasons he moved to Sedona.

    “I hope my images will inspire others to seek out a richer, more personal connection with the natural world by increasing everyone’s awareness of the fragile and precious nature of our environment and the need to protect it, so future generations can enjoy the wonder I have been blessed to experience.”

    Treat yourself to a Soulful experience on Saturday, September 3 from 5-8 pm at the Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery where you can meet and talk with the artist. Enjoy soulful company, snacks and beverages during Jerome’s “First Saturday” Art walk. Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery is located at 502 Main St.

    Jerome ArtWalkAfterHours continues at Caduceus Cellars on Main Street. Stop by for an evening of film shorts that will screen beginning at dusk and wine by the glass with Art Walk specials until 9:30pm .

    Wonders of the Grand Canyon, and other incomparable southwest landscapes, await visitors at Yester Day’s Fine Art Gallery at September’s Art Walk in Jerome this coming Labor Day Weekend. Oil paintings by Patricia Barthe, Roy Swenson, and Ann Rabago capture Mother Nature at her best in the golden season of autumn in Arizona. Other fine art—charcoal and graphite drawings, hand painted etchings, intaglio prints from engravings, photography, vintage jewelry, glass art, Mexican ceramics, wood and metal sculptures, and miniature watercolors—present timeless beauty as well at our gallery, located at 509 Main Street in Jerome’s lower art district.

    Pura Vida Gallery will be showcasing the watercolor and pastel art of Wolfgang Lehnhardt during the September 3rd Jerome Art Walk. Measuring under standard 8×10 sizes, each piece is a small vignette of landscapes capturing the dramatic play of light and color of larger desert scenes. Wolfgang’s work is shown in galleries throughout the Southwest and collected on five continents. Join Pura Vida for chocolates and champagne during the evening of the Art Walk and see Wolfgang’s paintings.

    Please join Zen Mountain Gallery for September’s Art Walk as we feature the work of several of our potters. We will have new work from many of the gallery’s local potters including Luna Patterson, Greg Wenz, Elizabeth Bonzani, Mike Upp, Sharon Upp, Laura Pokorny, Deanna O’Donnell, Joanie Wolter and Dennis Ott. This group of potters offers a significant range of techniques and approaches to their pottery. From 5-7 we will take entries for a drawing to win a specific piece of Luna Patterson Pottery. The drawing will take place at 7:15pm and you must be present to win. Please join us for food, wine and a chance to win a beautiful piece of hand-built, pit-fired pottery from Luna Patterson.

    Gallery 527 continues “Heart Conversations,” abstract paintings by Julie Bernstein Engelmann, on Sept. 3rd, from 5:00-8:00 PM. “The paintings are like personal stories, only just their distilled essence,” said gallery owner Donna Chesler. “Each one has a very specific feeling, distinct from the others, which is unusual in abstract art.” Engelmann begins with a seed idea from her journal, such as a dream that she wants to explore in visual form. She prepares a varied surface, then pours latex wall paint diluted to flow and mix at different speeds, giving an exciting base layer to the painting. From there she uses acrylic brushwork to enhance and transform the composition into a space with visual depth and drama.

    Engelmann explains, “The title, ‘Heart Conversations,’ refers to my heartfelt relationship with what I call the painting spirit. Like a dynamic conversation, the painting spirit actually helps me do much better and go much further than I imagined, leading to a surprise ending that reflects my seed idea in an intriguing way.” Engelmann’s lush abstracts have won numerous awards. She was honored with a retrospective exhibit, Being Spirit, at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Altoona, Pennsylvania.

    Engelmann holds an MFA from UCLA and a BA from Barnard College, where she studied with Milton Resnick, first-generation Abstract Expressionist. In 2014 Engelmann moved with her family from Pennsylvania to the Sedona area, where she teaches Luscious Abstractions as a faculty member at the Sedona Arts Center School of the Arts. “Heart Conversations” will be on view at Gallery 527 in Jerome from September 3rd through October 1. For more information about this show or Jerome Art Walk, contact Donna Chesler at 928.301.3004.

     THE MOMENT IS UPON US

    Dear Sedona,

    The moment is upon us. The time for a united effort to shift the focus back to our community is now.

    The ability to thrive in our community, our environment, our workforce, and the tourist industry, is entirely possible because we have all the resources needed for success.

    Still, we need a council that isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions, that makes decisions based on data and facts, and through discussion, rather than moving and voting in group unison as they so regularly do.

    This is my home. I have been a part of the Sedona community for 28 years. I witnessed the road debacle, the lack of planning, the city circumventing the local businesses ability to thrive, while making choices to expand the local government and be in direct competition with private industry.

    I am a unique candidate because unlike the incumbents, I don’t believe the government should expand in size, nor in operations, nor would I attempt to micromanage every aspect of our community.

    City government should stay in its lane and allow the competitive market of local private industry to prosper. And it should defend our community from corporate takeover and infiltration of our town.

    I do not agree that we should sign onto International Building Codes and regulations by signing Sedona up to the ICC. It is imperative that we remain a sweet, rural community.

    Where are the arts? Where is this organic thriving element that we allege to be animated by. Where is our culture? Where is our community?

    The discord between the decision making process and the desires of the community have never been more clear. It has been nearly a decade in the making.

    It is time for a new era of energy to take charge. An energy that is reflective in the ability to succeed rather than be trapped in out of date consciousness.

    It has been a great honor meeting with each of you. I hear your concerns over the insane and out of control spending and I echo them. A budget of $105,000,000 in a town of 9700 residents is completely unacceptable. A parking structure (that looks like a shoe box) originally slated to cost 11 million, now projected to cost 18 million, is incomprehensible. Especially, considering there is no intention of charging for parking.

    For those who are concerned that I lack the political experience within our established system- that is precisely what Sedona needs… Not another politician, but instead a person who understands people, who listens to the voices within the community, and who will act in service on their behalf with accountability, for the highest good of Sedona. What I am not, will prove to be an asset as I navigate the entrenched bureaucracy with a fresh perspective. Business as usual, is over.

    Creative solutions require new energy.

    Every decision that is made by our local government, must contemplate Sedona first.

    • Does this decision benefit the residents?
    • Does this decision benefit the local businesses?
    • Does this decision actually help the environment?
    • Will this decision sustain benefit in the future, or will it bring more problems?

    What we have now is a city government that expands to 165 employees for 9700 residents. Palm Desert has 53,000 residents and 119 city employees. Majority of our city department heads are not even in town. I find this problematic.

    Efforts towards championing in and courting new solutions for our medical needs are imperative. We are losing our doctors. We must encourage competition with other facilities rather than be held hostage by NAH, who clearly have their own set of dysfunctions.

    We must remember that so many move to Sedona for its beauty, hiking, and small town charm. Bigger, faster, and more concrete does not, in broad strokes, fit the ethos of Sedona.

    The old world must remain strong here in balance, as that is what visitors want to experience. Too many have noted that Sedona has lost its edge and charm.

    As Mayor I will preserve the rural charm of our community, and push back against the urbanization that is planned for Sedona.

    As mayor I will make it a priority to create opportunities to support our youth.  After school healthy, enriching programs should be created for our kids, and available to the Sedona workforce regardless of residency and regardless of school they belong to.

    As Mayor, I will create an agenda to deliberately embody the consciousness of our collective needs here, allowing private industry to meet the needs of our community rather than bigger government.

    I hope to have your vote on Aug 2nd. I am excited and have the energy to take on this leadership role with new eyes, community perspective, and the thoughtful consciousness that reflects all ages of the human spectrum.

    Thank you deeply for your consideration.

    Sincerely,

    Samaire Armstrong

    Sedona elections
    Armstrong vs. Jablow: The Main Event
    Ready to Rumble

    By Tommy Acosta
    In the Blue Corner stands Scott Jablow and in the Red Corner of the ring stands Samaire Armstrong, ready to rumble to the bitter end in their fight to become the next Sedona mayor. Jablow weighs in with 1,137 primary election votes (36.13%) under his belt, having wielded his advantage as sitting Sedona City Council vice-mayor to his favor. He brings his years of serving in that capacity into the fray and waged a solid fight in his campaign to make it to the run-off. Armstrong, however withstood a blistering smear campaign from the other opposing candidates and their supporters to make it to the final bout with 967 votes under her belt (30.73%), an amazing feat for a political newcomer. Unfortunately, for the other two candidates, Kurt Gehlbach and sitting mayor Sandy Moriarty, neither put up enough of a fight to make it to the championship bout. Read more→
