2 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

1967-2017, 50 years of… Love!

How blessed I have been over the past 50 years of my life!

For 50 years people have been creating, developing, playing, painting, writing, composing, improvising and performing -- driven by passion and the love of art.

I am honored to play the cards I have been given and work for our community to share Celebrating the Summer of Love! our love of and for the arts. Together, we have created a thriving Arts Center here in the redwoods.

As my father said to me before he passed, “For the first time in your life you are using all of your skills and qualities to benefit your community… your love of the arts, accounting and business background, people skills and your hard work and dedication are paying off. I am proud of you!”

Thanks, Mom and Dad, for providing me with the gifts and tools that allow me to pay it forward. From a rocky start during the Detroit Riots of 1967, we are indeed a blessed family that has grown to include and embrace the West Coast of California.

The following pages of Sketches are a glimpse into what a special place Gualala Arts is for our community and for me personally. I am absolutely blown away by the diversity of the life that we lead.

We go from hosting a great summer art program for youth, to a world-class chamber music weekend, to a rare auto show honoring some of the most creative inventors of automobile components. We then move on to celebrating the Summer of Love and my birthday with community, friends and icons of the music industry, all of this rounded out with inspiring exhibits from past, present, and beyond!

What do all of these things have in common and why are we doing them?

For the LOVE of it!

We look forward to celebrating the love and diversity of what we have all created together.

I am truly humbled by the outpouring of love, kindness and creativity. I carry your love with me everyday I hope in some way that you will carry mine with you...

Cheers to 50 more!

Dolphin Gallery Hours Disturbing... Wednesday - Monday The July 2017 exhibit at The Dolphin Gallery features Ron Bolander 10 am - 5 pm and his long-time friend and fellow artist Doric Jemison-Ball II who Closed Tuesday is also having his first two-person show at The Dolphin. The show’s title, “DISTURBING,” is most appropriate as both are noted for their free unorthodox creations meant to provoke thoughtful responses in Information the viewer. GualalaArts.org Bolander says, “ ‘DISTURBING’ is a show that does not pander to the taste of summer tourists. There are no pictures of lighthouses, 707-884-3896 weathered fences or barns, of Bowling Ball Beach or cows standing 39225 Highway One on a clifftop. There are no shiny, oversaturated, over edited sunsets at the beach, no glossy aluminum pictures of harbor seals, breaking waves or gamboling sheep. This show will be diametrically opposite to what one conventionally sees on the coast.”

Jemison-Ball is best known for his quirky ceramic pieces, taking the traditional craft a step further by adding a variety of figures from cartoon rabbits to baby doll faces. He might even crack open a pot to reveal an interesting interior. In fact, the person who introduced him to ceramics had him smash his first 14 pots to remind him that the process of creation was more important than attachment to the piece.

Since 2009, Jemison-Ball has won first place in ceramics at the annual Art in the Redwoods (AIR) show four times. His work stems Thrown pot with hand-built interior. Doric Jemison Ball II organically from his background more than from the two years of formal study he completed in ceramics. 4 EXHIBITIONS | GUALALA ARTS CENTER 50th
