The 2023 ArtLight Quotation Calendar is available for purchase.

3 Ways to Order:
1) If you have the 2022 Calendar, you may purchase using the pull-out order form inside the current calendar. Send us your check or call us (503dot398dot5800) with your credit card and shipping info. (It’s a good idea to complete the order-form before you place your call….)
2. Visit our website to place your order: www.artlightmedia.com/
3. Visit our Etsy.com shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/artlightmedia

This is our 26th year. The calendar was conceived as the final project during the two-year prototype workshop for The Hero’s Journey painting cycle led by Susan Walsh, in the mid-1990s. CART’M was birthed at the same time!

The ArtLight Quotation Calendar offers 12 monthly settings featuring original art and a hand-stamped quotation from an artist, visionary, poet, or sacred teacher. It occupies a small amount of real estate on the wall — just 5.5 wide x 8.5 tall, in a vertically-oriented format. Great to hang on the wall near a computer or handily prop on a shelf or windowsill.

Discounts are available when you order multiples. Orders of 20+ receive free shipping. See your pullout order form or visit the web for more details.

Thank you for the long-time support of so many in BBQ-Land! May your holidays be peaceful, healthful, safe and happy.

SUMMARY
Part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Standing in for the author, Eugene Jerome is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.”

Hoffman Gallery December Show

Submitted By: HoffmanArtsNews@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
HOFFMAN CENTER FOR THE ARTS GALLERY SHOW IN DECEMBER WILL FEATURE MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS BY DENNIS WORREL, MELISSA YOUNG, AND A COASTAL TEAPOT SHOW.

Dennis Worrel is a painter and printmaker living on the northern Oregon Coast. He worked as a soil scientist for over 35 years studying forest and desert landscapes across the western U.S. He is a founding member of Arts Accelerated and a member of Print Arts Northwest. For this show, Worrel painted and drew over botanical dye prints created by fellow artist and partner, Christine Harrison. In this series, Worrel calls attention to the natural world around us, encouraging connection and exploring our spiritual force of nature.

Melissa Young’s mixed media work will also be on display. Young is drawn to figure and portrait sketching, particularly working with the female form, as well as art journaling. Featured in this show, titled Time Will Tell, is a series of mixed media portraits inspired by the artist’s maternal grandfather’s family photos and history.

Additionally, we will exhibit a variety of local artists in a Teapot Show. The show was born from a desire to feature the incredible talent of our coastal artists. All the teapots will be functional, and you can expect a wide range of styles, shapes, and a variety of techniques.

We invite you to view art December 2 through 23, Fridays through Sundays from 1-4 pm. The not-for-profit Hoffman Center for the Arts is located at 594 Laneda Avenue, Manzanita, Oregon.

Free Advent Concert

Submitted By: anyalreeser@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
TONIGHT!

Thursday, December 15 at 6pm, at St. Catherine’s
(Doors open at 5:30pm)

FREE—This concert is Deb’s gift to the community, so if you have a heart to give then pass it on to others in need!

Join singer-songwriter Deb Montgomery for a quiet, early evening of music and candles: a kind-of-sort-of Advent Concert. Think house concert in a church. St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church is sweet and warm, open, inclusive, and welcoming.

“Montgomery’s music has been compared to many other talented musicians, from Natalie Merchant to Neil
Young. These are great comparisons, and Montgomery is an excellent storyteller. Her music is glorious in
its ability to make you cry, to make you feel, to make you find hope again.” — Beat Media

Deb has performed for many years—with and without a band—in Seattle, Toronto, Chicago, and New
York City. She recently relocated to Manzanita. You can find her music on iTunes and Spotify, or listen
to her albums here: debmontgomery.com and debmontgomery1.bandcamp.com/album/the-heart-of-it.

Robert Liebler Obituary

Submitted By: thelieblers@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Robert C Liebler passed away on December 13, 2022 in New York, 6 weeks shy of his 90th birthday. Brooklyn-born and a veteran of the Korean War, Robert lived in Wheeler for the last X years, moving back to Brooklyn in 2021 to be cared for by his family.

He is survived by his sons Scott and Todd Liebler, and Leon Vining, and his 5 grandchildren, Eliza, Isaac, Augustus, Thaddeus, and Jane.

He was fondly known as R.B. by his poker buddies and, in his memory, Robert would like everyone to buy into a game of Texas Hold ‘Em.
