    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (May 3, 2017) – The city’s sixth Mayor’s Arts Awards will be held Thursday, June 29, 2017, from 6-8 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, located at 2030 W. Highway 89A in Sedona.  

    The awards event recognizes four categories for exceptional contributions in the development and success of the arts in the Sedona community. The categories are Individual, Business or Organization, Education and Lifetime Achievement.

    The 2017 honorees are:

    Individual: Joe McNeill, author of the epic “Arizona’s Little Hollywood.” This informative and engaging tome captures volumes of stories and facts covering over 60 films shot in our area. O’Neill spent seven years documenting and preserving Sedona’s film history, significantly contributing to our arts and culture.

    Business/Organization: The Red Rock Arts Council for their unwavering dedication to public art in our community throughout the years. The council spearheaded Sculpture Walk and helped establish Sedona’s essential Art in Public Places Ordinance to create funding from new business development for the arts, which we still benefit from today.

    Education: Dennis Ott for his years of service as a leading arts educator in Sedona as ceramics department head at Sedona Art Center, teaching classes and workshops, initiating outreach and scholarship programs, volunteering and fundraising. Ott’s strong commitment to the arts has inspired many students to explore their creativity.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
