Local Artist, Greg Clifton, on display.
Greg Clifton February 1st-14th, 2019Underwater photography for Greg Clifton represents a convergence of two longstanding passions – diving and taking pictures. Greg is excited, and quite honored, to have the chance to showcase some of his favorite images stemming from dive trips over the past four years in Central America. The exhibit (his first!) will consist of 21 images taken from the waters of southern Belize, Bonaire, Roatan, Utila, and Cayman. Consisting largely of corals, tropical fish and some larger seafaring species (including the world’s largest fish – the whale shark), the images are shared to underscore the incredible beauty and rich diversity of coral ecosystems, while raising awareness of their fragile nature and declining status in recent years.

Books 'n' Bites - “Everybody’s son” by Thrity Umrigar
Join us! this month for a fun and lively book club experience featuring "Everybody's Son" by bestselling, critically acclaimed author, Thrity Umrigar. Some of her previous works include "Bombay Time," "The World We Found," and "The Space Between Us." In "Everybody's Son," Umrigar explores issues of race, class, privilege and power, asking us, her readers, to weigh in on some rather agonizing moral questions.
The novel follows two families—one black, one white. A sweltering heat wave in 1991 leaves young Anton to think beyond his year, escaping his apartment in the projects after surviving several days without air conditioning or parental supervision. When police find him, he is covered in blood. His mother, Juanita, on the other hand, is found in the home of a drug dealer. Anton is ultimately taken into child services, while his mother is taken into custody.
On the flip-side, the story follows the Harvard-educated son of a US senator, Judge David Coleman. As the progeny of white privilege, David uses his power and connections to keep his new foster son, Anton. Following in his adoptive family's footsteps, eventually rising to power himself, Anton discovers the truth about his life and will have to come to terms with the moral complexities of the actions committed by those around him.

Huichol Yarn Painting (One Book One Valley Event)
As part of this year's One Book One Valley (OBOV) programming, we are offering a night of Huichol Yarn Painting, a tradition belonging to the Huichol (pronounced Wee-chole) people of Mexico. Until recently, the Huichol people did not have an official language and rather, communicated through such mediums as their artwork. Famous for their beautiful yarn paintings called nierikas, (pronounced near-eekas) the Huichol people have been known to create them using a natural glue, often made from tree resin and beeswax. Once the glue is applied to a board, yarn is pressed on and left to harden. The designs made by the Huichol people typically depict their myths, stories and daily activities. Their designs also depict their belief that human beings are firmly connected to nature. Come Join us! and make your very own nierika! This event is free and open to the public.
