On Stage at the Lee Burrows Arts Center: John Muir…In Person!

Saturday, February 11 at 7PM
630 E Street, Marysville
Admission: $10

Reverend Don Baldwin, former minister in Yosemite National Park, brings John Muir to life in this heartfelt & energetic characterization of America’s most significant environmentalist. In a performance that is both compelling and entertaining, you will learn what transformed Muir from a machine specialist to a passionate mountain man and world-famous conservationist.

Accompanying Don’s performance is a beautiful slide show program, “Yosemite: The Range of Light.” This special presentation utilizes 6 projectors, a 24-foot wide triple screen, and displays stunning photography of the Sierras by some of Yosemite’s premiere photographers. The slide show is sensitively blended with classical music and features a script composed entirely from the writings of John Muir.

Tickets are $10, and can be purchased in advance at the Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council, 624 E Street in Marysville, or at Gallery34, 419 D Street in Marysville. Tickets may also be purchased at the door. For more information, call (530) 742-2787.

Bok Kai 2012: Dragon Invitational

Local artists are invited to participate in the 2012 Bok Kai Exhibit at the Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council Gallery. 2012 is the year of the dragon; dragons and/or the Bok Kai Festival should inspire all submissions.

The Bok Kai: Dragon Invitation Exhibit is on display January 31 – February 25. Submissions must be dropped off at the Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council during the week of January 24 – 28 to be considered for inclusion.

Submission Guidelines

  1. Chinese Dragons, Bok Kai, and/or the Bok Kai Festival should inspire all submissions. From the Bok Kai Festival website:
    In contrast to the fire-breathing, evil dragons in European legends, Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize positive power. Dragons are strongly connected to water in Chinese folklore, exerting control over rivers, waterfalls and oceans, and with the power to create or prevent floods.
    We encourage interested artists to gain inspiration from the Bok Kai Temple and its surrounding area. Additionally, Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council has historical information located at the front desk that artists may pick up. Other resources are listed at the bottom of this page.
  2. Artwork must be dropped off during the week of Tuesday, January 24 – Friday, January 27, 12 p.m. – 4 p.m., and Saturday, January 28, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Deadline for submissions is Saturday, January 28 at 4 p.m.
  3. All artwork must have contact information (Full name, address, phone number, and email) and artwork information (artist name, title, medium, dimensions, year completed & price) attached. All mediums accepted. Multiple entries accepted. No entry fees. 30% commission on sales.
