Meet ROBIN GREENFIELD at HEART OF CARTM!!

Submitted By: jessi@heartofcartm.org – Click to email about this post
Robin Greenfield is a truth seeker, activist, social reformer and servant to Earth, humanity and our plant and animal relatives. You may have heard of him from “30 Days of Wearing My Trash” when he walked around LA in a suit made entirely of his own garbage. www.robingreenfield.org/la/
Well, now he is going for a walk. “I’ll spend time and talk with people who I meet along the path and who come to walk with me, practicing compassionate communication with each interaction.” Robin explains as he embarks on a 1700 mile journey down the Pacific Coast Highway.
We are delighted to host Robin and hear a few excerpts from his latest book, Food Freedom. Join us!
Thursday, September 5th, 5:00-8:00pm
at HEART OF CARTM
All attendees can pick up their copy of Food Freedom!

“In 2011 I awakened to the truth that the way I was living was causing incredible destruction to Earth, to my fellow humans and to the plants and animals we share this home with. My philosophy for change is action based. Through personal action, I show that another way is possible. My activism is often designed in extreme ways in order to reach the masses, to show another perspective on life and alternatives to our current status quo.” – Robin Greenfield

You are invited! Taking Shape: Here and There

Submitted By: info@cannonbeacharts.org – Click to email about this post
Join us tomorrow August 16th from 4:30 to 6:30pm for the opening of “Taking Shape: Here and There” featuring work by Pam Greene and Christopher Belluschi.

The exhibition will showcase captivating artworks that explore the concept of form and space in both the familiar and abstract.

Pam Greene, known for her exquisite use of color and light will present a series of paintings that capture the essence of the ocean and the surrounding forest. With an MFA in art and design from Stanford, and an undergraduate degree in botany, she is a perpetual observer of nature’s inspiring forms. As an innovator, Greene approaches each painting as something of an experiment. She likes to be surprised as the composition emerges, and create balance with distilled, delineated shapes using brushstrokes aiming to capture nature’s spontaneity. The resulting pieces have a graphic quality with influences from many years of travel to East Asia, and study of East Asian art. Her work is represented in private collections nationally and internationally, and available through the Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales gallery.

Christopher Belluschi is a sculptor based in Portland, Oregon. He sculpts reductively from both wood and stone and creates sculptures that are as captivating for the soul as they are for the eyes. He recently returned from six weeks of stone scouting and sculpting in Carrara, Italy. His current body of work reflects his reverence for Italian travertine, a storied, stratified stone which flaunts its bubbling formation in the primordial ooze.

This event is free and open to the public, meet the artists, view the collection, and enjoy refreshments.

The exhibition will be on display at Cannon Beach Arts Association from August 16th to September 22nd, 2024.

Submitted By: tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle present a free concert in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park, at 5:00PM on Sunday, September 8th.

While Rice started in traditional blues, he’s built upon that foundation with soul, R&B, folk and country to fashion a welcoming front porch where everybody wants to hang out into the wee hours.

The electric and high-energy band features a horn section and a thumping rhythm section to get your body moving.

“My goal is to reach people in a way that they need to be reached,” Rice says, “to say things they may not get to say or hear things they may not normally get to hear.”

This free, family friendly concert, in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park, begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets. Dogs, Frisbees, soccer balls and the like are welcome too.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Come By the EVCNB Tent at the Manzanita Farmers Market, Friday, August 16

evcnb.org/events-and-training/farmers-market-2024
Here’s what the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay (EVCNB) will be up to at the Manzanita Farmers Market this Friday, August 16th.

Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will be onsite, at The Manzanita Farmers Market, early to start erecting our tent. This is also considered a training activity. It remains critical that as many people as possible be familiar with the tent set up process. These tents are being utilized by local governments and EVCNB as a means to shelter large numbers of displaced people following any disaster.

Inside the tent will be team leads and representatives from all of our preparedness and response programs. Learn more about the CERT program and how you can contribute. Our Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WaSH) team will have equipment to show. WaSH classes are scheduled for the upcoming months, so take a chance to find out how this can benefit you and your family.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) and shelter teams can inform you of our local resources should we need to call on them. The communications team will have their innovative Solar GoBox (SGB) on display. It gives us the ability to communicate when other sources like the internet and cell phones are not working. Learn more about how you can be trained to use an emergency radio “Yellow Radio” to get in touch with neighbors.

The Nehalem Bay Fire and Rescue Team will be in our same area. Team members and equipment will be there.

We encourage everyone to take the chance to stop by and learn how EVCNB can help you be prepared.

Can’t wait to see you all at the Manzanita Farmers Market!
