Submitted By: baycityartscenter@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Bay City Arts Center (BCAC) is pleased to announce the next in its 2022 Performing Arts Series with a Brazilian-themed concert by the jazz duo, Beléza!, Friday, April 15th. Beléza! (pronounced be‧lé‧zah) is made up of master jazz guitarist John Stowell and the celebrated flugelhorn virtuoso Dmitri Matheny. Taking its name from the Portuguese word for “beauty,” it’s a duo that formed from the two artists’ shared passion for bossa nova, samba, and the timeless music of Antônio Carlos Jobim. Dmitri Matheny is one of a handful of modern jazz masters specializing in the flugelhorn, and he is widely acclaimed for his “brilliantly imaginative” and “irresistibly pretty” playing.

“People think of [the flugelhorn] as a double for the trumpet,” says Matheny. “It’s a bigger instrument, you have to fill it with more air. To my ear, it’s just a better sound… Flugelhorn is to the trumpet like the viola is to the violin. The violinists get all the love, but the viola players really expand the sound.*”

John Stowell is one of the world’s great jazz-guitar masters, specializing in the intricate “chord-melody” style, which is perfectly adapted to Brazilian Jazz. Stowell has performed and taught in over 20 countries in his 45-year career, and has been hosting and performing jazz concerts at the BCAC for over 20 years.

Doors open at 6:30PM, with the concert starting at 7:00PM. Tickets are by donation–pay what you can–$20 suggested. Reserve your tickets via email (baycityartscenter@gmail.com) and pay for them at the door. Covid protocols officially lifted April 1st—masks are now optional.

Jazz in Bay City is made possible by the generous support of sponsors including our performers, the City of Bay City, and the BCAC Board of Directors. If you would like to make a donation or become a sponsor of the BCAC’s Performing Arts Series, send us an email at: baycityartscenter@gmail.com.

The Bay City Arts Center is a community gathering space featuring art galleries, an art school, an auditorium, a dining hall, a recording studio, and a radio station, all wrapped up in one historic building in downtown Bay City. It’s also a collection of volunteers and friends who come together in the name of community, art, expression, and reverence for the beauty of the coast.

2022 ‘CONVERSATIONS WITH FUNDERS AND PARTNERS’ GOES VIRTUAL APRIL 12-21! (PHOTO)

News Release from Oregon Cultural Trust
Posted on FlashAlert: March 31st, 2022 9:26 AM

Salem, Ore. – Grant makers offering more than $5 million in funding for FY2023 will gather virtually with the Oregon Cultural Trust for four regional 2022 “Conversations with Funders and Partners” events from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 12 (Southern Oregon), April 14 (Portland Metro/Willamette Valley), April 19 (Central/Eastern Oregon) and April 21 (Oregon Coast).

The free online interactive events will enable grant seekers to learn about funding programs available and will include breakout rooms where they can discuss their projects and programming with specific funders. NOTE: Capacity is limited, so early registration is encouraged: bit.ly/3uKuQ3X

Participating with the Cultural Trust will be representatives from three of its Statewide Partners – the Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage and Oregon Humanities – as well as colleagues from the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation and Travel Oregon.

Organizations encouraged to attend “Conversations with Funders and Partners” include community development organizations, libraries, arts organizations, museums, cultural and community centers, parks and trails groups, historical societies, arts alliances, literary groups and heritage organizations. All cultural nonprofit organizations that are planning cultural projects are welcome.

“There are more than 1,500 cultural nonprofits serving Oregonians,” said Aili Schreiner, Cultural Trust manager. “We want to make sure they know about the significant funding and programming resources that are available to support them.”

Oregon Cultural Trust Cultural Development Program

Among the funding opportunities discussed at the online Conversations event will be the Cultural Trust’s FY2023 Cultural Development Program (funds to be awarded summer of 2022).

The Cultural Development Program recognizes and supports significant projects through four program funded categories: Access; Preservation; Creativity; and Capacity.

In 2021 the Cultural Trust awarded more than $3.2 million in statewide grants. Cultural Development Program grants represent one third of the annual funding the Cultural Trust provides to Oregon’s cultural nonprofits. Other funding includes grants to the Trust’s five statewide partners – to support their mission goals and respective funding programs – and to 45 county and tribal cultural coalitions that fund local initiatives, projects and programs.

FY2023 Cultural Development Program grants are for projects and activities that will occur between Sept. 1, 2022, and Aug. 31, 2023.

Grant guidelines are now posted for a Friday, May 6, application deadline.

The North County Food Bank and Clothing Bank is excited to announce that we will be welcoming our neighbors back inside the Food Bank building starting Tuesday, April 5. In addition to shelter from wind and rain, you’ll find our free racks stocked with extra goodies for Food Bank clients as well as children’s books and information about community resources.

The Clothing Bank will also be open for browsing. Full racks of clothing, linens, and other miscellaneous items await you. You do not need to be a Food Bank client to access the Clothing Bank. It’s a community resource for all who need clothing.

The Food Bank also offers free at-home Covid tests and masks if you need them. We do ask that folks wear masks while in the building to protect our volunteers, most of whom are over 65. Clients not wishing to mask can have their orders taken outside and we’ll bring the food out.

A special thanks to our community for its ongoing support of the Food Bank during the pandemic. We really appreciated all the coats and warm clothing donated during our February coat drive.

Hours are 12 pm – 3 pm on Tuesdays. We can also take donations of food, clothing, or hygiene items during those hours. We are located at 278 Rowe Street in Wheeler, across the parking lot from the Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy (Rinehart Clinic).
