    logo_sacSedona AZ (March 20, 3014) – Join us March 28–30, 2014 at Sedona Arts Center to honor Sedona artist Ed Jaskulski in a unique exhibit, “Renaissance Man at 100.” Ed’s impressive collection of works will be on display for 3 days only in the Special Exhibition Gallery at Sedona Arts Center in Uptown Sedona from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with a special opening reception Friday March 28, 5–6:30 p.m.

    photo_edjaskulskiEd Jaskulski was born in Easthampton, Massachusetts, on October 9, 1913. He studied at the Art Students League and the Juilliard School of Music in New York City and served in the Navy Seabees for three years during World War II as a photographer. During this time, he was stationed in the Pacific—the Treasury Islands and Okinawa—where he documented the war by taking extensive photographs which the U. S. Library of Congress has included in their permanent collections. After the war, Ed worked for the premier portrait photography studio, Fabian Bachrach, in New York City, where he photographed presidents, kings and moguls.  His outstanding photographs of Richard Nixon, Malcolm Forbes, Leonard Bernstein, King Faisal, Marshall Tito, Lee Iacocca, Indira Ghandi, and many others, are included in the special exhibit “Renaissance Man at 100.”

    Ed and his beloved wife Amelia, who died last year at 91, retired to Sedona in 1987, where they both became deeply involved in community affairs and helped shape the cultural essence of Sedona.  Ed continues to be active in Sedona Arts Center, Chamber Music Sedona, and the local Great Books Discussion Group. Ed Jaskulski has lived more than a fourth of his illustrious one hundred years in Sedona, enriching the vibrant art life here as well as the lives of all who know him.

      I have known Ed and Amelia for all the 20 years I have lived here as his neighbor in Sedona. They both were great people, nice neighbors with Amelia being busy all the time on local issues while Ed just socialized.I have seen his art collection in his home and even along his driveway, a talented guy. His portrait photograhy skills are evident in his photo collection.
      A great guy, I wish you many more years Ed.

    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
