Annette Bellamy, "Village" Ceramics installations
on exhibit, July 2nd - Aug 4th, Artist talk 6pm, July 2nd
"Fresh Flowers"  |
A
long-time resident of Halibut Cove, Annette's is inspired by years of
handling fish and fishing gear and putting food by. "Village" features new work. The title piece features multiple small clustered vessels made of clay that has passed from the hands of kids in Artist in Schools to visiting ceramic artists to Annette. "Fresh Flowers" another wall-mounted installation incorporates tulips, 'the dancing flower' in vase forms. As time passes, the installation reflects on loss and mortality. Learn more about Annette's process and thoughts at her artist talk at 6 pm on Friday during the opening reception.

 Homer-grown acoustic folk and jazz siren, Hallie Hudson recently completed her diploma with a certificate in jazz vocal and piano studies from Idyllwild Arts Academy. Joining a diverse and passionate artistic community at a young age has been life-changing. In January she released her first album, "Sea Changes."

Hallie was recently accepted to double major in songwriting and music therapy at Berklee College of Music but has deferred her acceptance for a year to take on an exciting internship at a TV and film company in Los Angeles in September.

Mary Mullen, Poetry Reading, July 13, 5:30 pm
 Mary Mullen's work is clear and unsentimental. Her poems about
growing up in Alaska and her later time in Ireland with her daughter, Lily, a beautiful 13-year old who happens to have Down's Syndome, are vibrantly alive..
Mary will read from Zephyr, a collection delivered in a range of poetic styles. "Most important of all the poems affirm the power and truth of poetry and life-fine poems that make rich testament to a committed life." -Michael D. Higgins
"Mary Mullen's poems of displacement,
Ireland and Alaska, the exotic and the orginary, beluga whale pods and
sculpted Burren brambles ...are the poems of a searching heart." -Nuala Ní Chonchúir

Homer's Joe DeCino on horn joins jazz greats Marshall Hawkins and Markus Burger, July 31st, 7:30pm
 Los Angeles jazz giants Marshall Hawkins and Markus Burger return to perform with Homer's outstanding young horn talent, Joe DeCino and others. A performer and composer, Joe has been making waves in the NYC jazz scene since he set off to school last fall. On July 31, DeCino's amazing horn style will befit the gallery, invoking the sultry intimacy of the Village Vanguard club scene, from "big-band" brass arrangements to tight improvisational acts, both original and standard jazz melodies. The August 7 show will feature a potluck dinner party and jam session with revolving roles for piano, bass, drums, horns and more as well as vocals by Homer talent, including those who take master classes with the visiting stars between 7/31 & 8/7.

Rasmuson creates possibilities for artists and communities, and works to strengthen non-profit organizations like Bunnell. Our lives are enriched through the programming and support of vibrant cultural institutions that Rasmuson provides. Thank you, Rasmuson, for your leadership and vision!
