    Rotating Artist Program Series at Sedona Library

    Sedona, AZ (July 11, 2011) – As part of the ongoing Sedona Public Library in the Village Rotating Artist Series, Gary Rubin will be displaying his artwork at the village location beginning on Tuesday, July 5, 2011. An artist reception will be held on Wednesday, July 13 from 4 to 6pm. Some of Gary’s artwork will be available for purchase.

    Besides painting murals throughout the country and offering his large canvas paintings, Gary has developed “Nail Sculptures” where thousands of nail heads are positioned overlapping each other. This technique forms faces while utilizing the natural colors of the metals. His first nail sculpture was for a college art class. His professor took the piece to a friend’s art gallery in downtown Chicago and it sold in ten days. Hence, the birth of this unique medium. Gary has created nail sculptures of Native Americans, rodeo scenes, wildlife, six shooter guns, motorcycles, locomotives and classic cars.

    He also offers custom work for any subject his client would like portrayed in this beautiful and one-of-a-kind art form. As a dog lover, he has produced dozens of portraits of “man’s best friend” for clients throughout the country. His clients just supply a profile of their pet’s face and Gary does the rest.

    For his 2011 summer exhibit at the Sedona Public Library in the Village, Gary’s theme is “Go West”. His focus is on both the Old West and today’s western region. He will show several rodeo pieces (i.e. bull and bronco riders) to illustrate the sense of movement in his nail sculptures. Contemporary pieces like “Hopi Merchant” and “Desert Chief” will also be displayed to speak out for the plight of today’s Native Americans.

    Gary currently resides in the Village of Oak Creek with his wife, Leah, and their two dogs. Other examples of his work can be seen at the Village Gallery of Local Artists at 6500 State Route #179. He can be reached at 928-301-2660.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
