    logo_umbreallaprojectSedona AZ (April 3, 2013) – The Umbrella Project returns to Hillside Sedona April 26th through April 28th. Over 200 hand painted umbrellas will be on display. In addition, live music, bingo bash, fashion show, and barbecue will accompany this delightful exhibition.

    In 1990, when Hilda Brown lost her favorite brown umbrella, she was inspired to found THE UMBRELLA PROJECT, Inc., an all-volunteer, global 501(c)3 Not-For-Profit organization that uses the common language of art to empower young people. Envisioning everyone in the world carrying colorful canopies whenever life’s storm threaten, Hilda encourages school age children to paint in small groups on over-sized white-nylon umbrellas with non-toxic fabric markers.

    The Umbrella Project beyond, offering tools for self-expression, empowers children through global exhibitions of their hand –painted umbrellas. The Umbrella Project teaches children that they can be helpful when overwhelming events make them feel helpless. The children gain self-esteem by knowing that donations for their one-of-a-kind creations will benefit another child in need. This years proceeds will benefit Governor Cuomo’s Empire State Relief Fund – restoring and rebuilding the boroughs of New York City from the wrath left behind of Hurricane Sandy.

    Music will be featured Friday afternoon, all day Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Saturday will also feature a bingo bash, barbecue and fashion 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.
