    logo_olli3Sedona AZ (October 17, 2019) – If you enjoy art, you will have a great opportunity–and have to make some difficult choices–next weekend, October 25-7, when over 45 artists in the Verde Valley will open their private studios for the Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition’s Fall Open Studios Tour.  

    Learn about this extraordinary cultural event from Darleene Nelson when she will be the guest of honor at the OLLI’s Sedona Community Forum (formerly called Lunch and Learn) on Wednesday, October 23, from 12:30 – 1:30  p.m., in room 34 of Yavapai College’s Sedona Center (on Cultural Park Place, across Rt. 89A from Red Rock High School).

     Her talk will  help you to optimize your tour experience.  She will address questions such as:

    • What might you experience at a studio?
    • How might you decide which studios to visit?  How many studios?
    • How long might you stay at each one?
    • What are the artists’ expectations?
    • Any recommended dos and don’ts for your visit?
    • Any other suggestions for planning a tour?
    • What is the Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition?
    • What other events do they sponsor?
    • What do its members have in common?
    • Can you join?

    The tour provides opportunities to see how artists in Sedona and the greater Verde Valley area work in both 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimensional art encompassing many mediums and genres such as:  oils, acrylics, watercolor, fiber, wood, glass, clay, metal, photography, film, found objects, jewelry and mixed media.

    Before moving to Sedona, Darleene lived in Grand Rapids, MI where she competed in West Michigan juried shows for two decades and where her work is exhibited in museums and colleges.

    Her paintings are inspired by nature, playful, use water based media, and are usually highly textured, even incorporating sand in the mix.  She also will share some of her work during her talk.

    Bring your lunch and join us at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 23, to meet Darleene Nelson and to learn more about The Sedona Visual Artists’ Coalition and how to have a fulfilling Studio Tours experience. The Sedona Community Forum is an enjoyable, informative, weekly community event that is free and open to the public.

    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.
