    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Art for Everybody” showing April 11-17 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    Thomas Kinkade’s pastoral landscapes made him the most collected painter of all time – and the most despised.

    You’ve seen his cozy cottages, idyllic gardens, and welcoming village streets on everything from canvas to commemorative plates. Both celebrated and disparaged for his kitschy signature settings, the “Painter of Light” Thomas Kinkade rocketed to popularity in the ‘90s by marketing himself to American evangelicals and pitting himself against the elite art establishment.

    Yet beneath the pristine public persona were demons that would drive him to alcoholism, scandal, and death from an overdose in 2012. After his passing, Kinkade’s daughters uncovered a trove of unseen, unexpectedly dark paintings, a discovery that launched an investigation into their father’s true personality.

    Through the voices of skeptical critics, adoring fans, and Kinkade’s closest friends and family, “Art for Everybody” digs deep into Kinkade’s life and work to elucidate the real man behind the persona. The film is an insightful documentary that peels back the layers of Kinkade’s facade, delivering a portrait of a complex man divided by the same forces that continue to pull us apart as a nation.

    “Art for Everybody” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 11-17. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 11, 12, 13 and 14 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, April 15, 16 and 17 at 6:30 p.m.

    Tickets are $12 general admission, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona.  For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    O Captain, My Captain, My Trump

    By Sanford Bach

    When Donald J. Trump descended that golden escalator, America witnessed not just a man — but destiny in a red tie. The Founding Fathers stirred in their marble graves, whispering, “Finally… our sequel has arrived.”
