    Beginning in December 2022 at the Hozho Shopping Center, the partnership will feature ongoing exhibits by the talented artists of the Sedona Renegades plus an esteemed guest artist each month.  And to inaugurate things most exceptionally, the featured guest artist for December is John Oakes, whose works and career will be celebrated at the venue’s First Friday reception on December 2, 5-7:30 PM.  All art lovers are cordially invited to enjoy this reception plus the future exhibits and featured artists, which will change each month.

    Originally from Kentucky, featured artist John Warren Oakes received an MFA from the University of Iowa and a CAA from Harvard University, and then completed a long and distinguished career as an art professor at Western Kentucky University.  He has shown his works in countless exhibitions internationally, including 51 solo exhibitions, and after retirement has held many leadership posts in the Sedona art community.  He has authored books on painting, photography, computer graphics, and religion, and for many years directed the performing arts program at WKU.

    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
