STUDENT ARTIST RECEPTION
AND PROGRAM
Canyon Community Center
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
4 – 6 pm
(Program will begin at 6:30 pm)

The Art Auction for Education has provided funding for the art and music program, an annual event created by Kathy LaFave of the LaFave Gallery in Springdale.  Ten years ago the funding for Springdale Elementary art and music programs were cut by Washington County. Therefore, Ms. LaFave gathered the support of the community to continue the programs these past ten years. We are greatly appreciative of the efforts of many in our canyon to continue this program. This art show is our way of saying “Thank You!” and sharing what the children have learned this year.

Donations are always appreciated and will go toward the purchase of future art supplies and materials. For further questions, please call Springdale Elementary School at 435-772-3279 or Eva Pelton at 435-669-6278.

Additionally in the “Pops” genre, Thomas is considered a leading interpreter of the works of George Gershwin.

He struggles to uncover Laius’s murder and his own identity, despite numerous warnings that he should leave the truth alone. His pursuit of knowledge and truth, however, results in ruin as Oedipus uncovers his destiny, which he was better off not knowing. This suggests that knowledge is futile and limited in its ability to bring happiness to those who seek it.

Tickets for Z-Arts members is $5 and $10 for non-members.  Tickets are available from the Z-Arts office at (435) 772-3434, ext. 313 or zarts@springdaletown.com.

Samsara reunites director Ron Fricke and producer Mark Magidson, whose award-winning films Baraka and Chronos were acclaimed for combining visual and musical artistry. Samsara is a Sanskrit word that means “the ever turning wheel of life” and is the point of departure for the filmmakers as they search for the elusive current of interconnection that runs through our lives. Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, Samsara transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern. — (C) Oscilloscope

The Artist’s Reception is Friday, March 1 at the Canyon Community Center from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Cynthia is originally from California but has been coming to Zion since she fell in love with the Canyon during a magical trip in 1989. She and her husband Jim recently built their dream home in Springdale and plan to settle here more permanently as soon as Cynthia manages to retire from the small (and happily successful!) biotech company which she helped found 20 years ago. During their annual trek to their beloved continent of Africa both Cynthia and Jim carry cameras, but while Jim focuses on the animals Cynthia finds the people to be extraordinarily fascinating subjects to photograph.
