partnering with Everybody Dance Now! and various preschools in Santa
Barbara such as 1st Presbyterian Early Childhood Center to bring
dance performance and exploration to kids/teens. Additionally, Nebula
guest performed at NECTAR as well as the SB Birth Center's fundraiser
in October of 2011.
Taking only a short week off the company has been back in the studio
creating two new works by choreographers Devyn Duex and Emily Tatomer
for their world premiere in September 2012 at Center Stage Theater.
In addition to the company show Nebula has been working diligently to
showcase their new works leading up to the big premiere, such as
guest performance at Center Stage Theater's fundraiser Savory &
Sweet, guest performance at Fusion Dance Company's show in June at
CST, MixMatch festival in LA in August, and more!
Passionate about continuing to strengthen the outreach/education
platform they have been scheduled for additional opportunities with
1st Presbyterian Early Childhood Center, and Everybody Dance Now! in
the coming months.

Spirit
of ’76 Association
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lamberton_1776@yahoo.com
Santa
Barbara to Celebrate July 4th with 50th Annual Parade and
Concert
Santa
Barbara, California – June 18, 2012 – The all-volunteer Spirit of ’76
Association will share a major milestone with Santa Barbara residents and
guests this year as it presents its 50th annual 4th
of July Parade. The theme of this year’s parade is “The Gift of Individual
Liberty.” The events of the day will celebrate Liberty and its place in
the heart of America.
“Liberty
is the essential quality of a free person who is dependent upon no other,” says
Paul Lamberton, President of Spirit of ‘76. “A founding principle of the
American Revolution is that every man and woman is to be as free as possible
from external control over his or her life and property. Our nation’s history
contains many shining examples of those who struggled to increase our Liberty,
those who used their Liberty toward great achievements, and those who defend
our Liberty.”
The parade will take place on Wednesday
July 4, 2012. The grand march begins at 1:00 p.m. at Micheltorena Street and
proceeds down State Street to Old Town Santa Barbara, concluding at Cota
Street. Potential participants are invited to contact Spirit of ‘76 at Spirit_1776@yahoo.com.
Later that day, Spirit of ’76 and
Santa Barbara Music Events will present the annual Independence Day Concert at
the Santa Barbara Courthouse Sunken Gardens. The concert will take place after
the parade (Wednesday July 4th), at 4:00 p.m.. It will be open to
the public and there will be no admission charge. The Santa Barbara County
Historic Courthouse is at the corner of Anacapa Street and Anapamu Street.
Bring chairs, blankets and a picnic dinner.
Classical concert pianist Bryan Tari
will be the Event Director
and Coordinator of all musical acts in the 4th of July concert. Tari has
performed on stages, television, and radio throughout the world, including at
the opening ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
“We are very excited to have Bryan Tari directing
the concert this year,” Lamberton said. “He is a highly respected Santa Barbara
artist who will help make this beloved annual event more memorable than ever.”
The event, a long-running favorite of locals and visitors, will once again fill
the Sunken Gardens with
the sounds of traditional music celebrating America’s Independence Day. It will feature prominent
musicians from the community,
including artists from The Music Academy of the West.
The
public is invited to visit http://spiritof76sb.org/
for more information about this year’s 4th of July celebration as
details evolve. Spirit of `76 is a non-profit organization. The group is
non-partisan and non-political.

About proyectoJAROCHO
proyectoJAROCHO is
dedicated to sharing the vibrant music and dance tradition known
as son jarocho from the state of Veracruz on Mexico's eastern
coast. Son jarocho reflects the synthesis of Mexico's African,
Spanish and indigenous influences in a tradition that continues to thrive among
current generations. The ease of learning son jarocho makes
it an excellent introduction to music.
The essence
of son jarocho is expressed in an event known as a fandango, a
festive encounter where musicians gather around a tarima or wooden platform
upon which dancers take turns. The fandango model serves as a tool to teach
children and adults to play, sing and dance. It is an inclusive space
where all are welcomed to participate in an accepting and energized
environment.
proyectoJAROCHO explores the rich rhythms and melodies
of son jarocho using the jarana (an eight string guitar-like
instrument), the quijada de burro (donkey jaw), tarima (wooden dance platform)
and marimbol (large bass thumb piano). Instruction includes an overview of the
construction of son jarocho stringed instruments carved from a
single block of wood. Led by experienced musician and instrument maker in
the son jarocho tradition, Jorge Mijangos.

 18 Degrees Out of
Latitude: Coffee in the Goodland
by Rachel Hommel
An early morning coffee
buzz usually starts with a long line, shouted orders, and watered down
caffeine illusions. The actual profile of the coffee bean has been masked
by a charcoal like “roast,” leaving us coffee drinkers chained to the likes
of Starbucks and Peet’s. Yet there is hope in our very own backyard. (Read

Good Morning Giacomo: Birds on Wires
New Work by John M. White
Opening Reception Saturday, June 30, 3-5pm
John M. White, Birds on Wires Series #12, 2012,
acrylic on paper, 34.5" x 40"
Click HERE for a sneak peek of
the exhibition
While attending the Patri School of Art Fundamentals as a
young man, John White's teacher and mentor Giacomo Patri instructed him
to spend a few hours in the middle of the night just looking out a
window. From 11pm on, White sat staring out his studio window, fascinated
by the birds that alighted on the wires around the city. Through the
seemingly mundane activity, Giacomo had surreptitiously taught White the
most important skill of an artist... how to see, not just look.
An indelible mark was made on him that night and he adopted the
pared-down birds on wires into his artistic language; the symbol of that
night makes an appearance in many of his subsequent paintings as lines
and dots. In tribute to his beloved mentor, White's most recent and aptly
titled series, Birds on Wires, continues his iconic and notational
style of an abstracted landscape of his own making. The exhibition will
be supported by projected photographs on birds on wires by photographer
Cole Smothers. The artist will be in attendance for the opening
reception, Saturday, June 30. The Sylvia White Gallery is located at 1783
E Main St in Ventura. Admission is FREE and open to the public
Wednesday through Saturday from 11am to 5pm. For more information, please
call 805-643-8300.

Hello Art Makers and Art Lovers;
As often happens, I am delighted with
the results of hanging the new show, “Someday
I’ll Take Art.” We finished hanging last evening in
time for dinner, and I was tickled. The plein air paintings from Sheryl
Knight’s painting class are so lovely. Good teaching added to already competent
painters..... Voila!....a great wall to view!
The Collage wall of Karen Browdy and
students always pleases...It engages so easily. Karen has a C Gallery weekend
retreat coming up in September...3 spaces left.
My drawing class on Wednesday mornings
offers some endearing fowl, landscapes exploring pastel stroking, highlighted
by Carole Patton’s watercolors, when she was our guest artist.
My own work, abstract and minimal,
offers a meditative panel. I’m happy with it....the start of a series. The
“judge” is only whispering. The “song” is louder than the “judge.”
There are some surprises, not the
least of which is Sharon Tate’s bold, wildly colored, contemporary swirling
figures. In April we had focused on the “Contemporary Figure.”
Finally, always unique and
thoughtful, Albert McCurdy’s wood block sculptures fill the pedestals.
They’re soothing and playful!
Come and see! The opening is tomorrow, Saturday, June 16th from 4-6pm. Stop in for a glass of wine and a nibble. Your invite is attached.
Maybe you’ll be thinking, “Someday, I’ll take art.” Connie

ONE NIGHT STAND 2012
200 Artists, 1 Night Only
SANTA BARBARA: Where will you be on the evening of August 11th? If you’re an art lover, collector, or artist
chances are you will be enjoying a One
Night Stand at Gallery 27 in downtown Santa Barbara. One Night Stand (ONS) is
an art lovers’ dream and an annual fundraiser for Art From Scrap. At ONS over
two hundred 9” x9” works of art will be exhibited for one night only on August 11, from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Contemporary artists from around the country
have been personally invited to contribute artwork in all mediums. The list of
artists who have accepted the ONS challenge
grows daily. Jesse Alexander, Eric
Beltz, Pamela Enticknap, David Florimbi, singer/songwriter Jack Johnson, John
Nava, and Nicole Strasburg have contributed their work for what promises to be the art event of the year. To keep an
eye on the growing list of artists participating in ONS, visit onenightstandafs.com.
One
Night Stand has an element of
surprise; none
of the artwork in the show will be identified. Artist’s names will be revealed only after
their artwork is purchased. Each work of art will be sold for
$200.00 with the proceeds benefiting Art From Scrap. The evening includes a Silent Auction,
festivities, food, and music.
Hot ticket entry will be at 6:30 and regular
admission at 7:00 pm. Last year’s ONS
was such a huge success that ONS 2012
will be held in an expanded area of Gallery 27 and check in at the door will be
expedited.
Early Entry and General Entry tickets to One Night Stand are available online at
onenightstandafs.com, onsite at Art From Scrap, and by calling (805) 884-0459
x17. General Entry to the event is
$25.00 and $30.00 at the door. Hot tickets
will be $100.00 early sale and $125.00 at the door. If you are interested in
Special Package Purchases, and Sponsorship Opportunities, call Melissa Brooks
at (805) 884-0459 x17.
While this may be your first One
Night Stand, we guarantee you will feel great the next morning, knowing that your
generosity has helped to support environmental education and the arts …. and
Art From Scrap will have the utmost respect for you!
