    logo_yavapaicollegeClarkdale AZ (February 16, 2017) – Yavapai College is proud to present an exhibition titled “Consecrate: Works about Preparation and Sanctity” at the college’s art gallery on its Verde campus at 601 Black Hills Drive Bldg. F-105.

    Consecrate is a collaborative show, assembling the works of Alyssa Ritchie, Sean Oswald, and Ben P Norton. The show focuses on the theme of Consecration, using the word as a prompt for each artist’s concepts to spill forth. 

    The act of art-making in itself is an act of consecration – an act of making special. The role of the painter is one that feels consecrated, one that feels akin to a calling. In this show, each artist confronts this notion as filtered through his/her own intellectual and spiritual convictions. How do we make things special, and how do we preserve that feeling through painting? How do we align ourselves with a calling, and how does it appear to others? This show attempts to address these questions, crossing between the secular and the spiritual in search of consecrated ground.”

    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.
