    logo_madeinclarkdale2Clarkdale AZ (November 18, 2019) – Where can someone find a place overflowing with holiday spirit this season? Plan to visit Made In Clarkdale, an artist showcase, between December 5 to 8. Over 50 artists who live and work in Clarkdale, the historic small town located at the gateway to Mingus Mountain, create in seemingly endless media. All forms of painting, photography, master-built ceramics, jewelry, whimsical sculpture, hand carved gourds, elegant dog accessories and more fill the show in the historic Clark Memorial Clubhouse.

    “I spend a lot of the year creating my art for this show, then spend several weeks planning my booth, for the these days when I complete my holiday shopping’, reports Ann Metlay, a ceramic artist who has participated in this show over the past three years. “Then I can sit and enjoy the live music among friends.”

    Planning for the past 10 months, organizing fundraising activities, sending out publicity, designing the booths, and recruiting new members. The artists are now completing their work to be shown at Made in Clarkdale, a 33-year-old art tradition in the Verde Valley.

    Bear Schutz sees the high desert views from his studio as inspiration for his oil paintings and the source for materials he up-cycles and re-purposes into sculpture and musical instruments. Kaayla Fox, a long time silversmith and author, collects gemstones and crystals to combine into whimsical spiritual angels. Luke Metz throws his pots at the Reitz Ranch, a mecca for clay artists on the bank of the Verde River just 5 miles from the show.

    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.
