Community Calendar

The Valley Visual Art Show (VVAS) is always our first exhibition of the new year, and one of the longest-standing community art shows committed to showing the work of local artists. VVAS began in 1980 as a venue for local artists to share their artwork with the public. This exhibition is a great opportunity for artists new to the area, as well as emerging and established artists.

Join us for the opening reception Friday, January 23 from 5-7pm. VVAS will be on display through February 26. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

Teens are invited to explore the human experience through blackout poetry using words, art, and imagination. Working with existing texts, participants will erase, highlight, and transform language to uncover poems about identity, emotion, resilience, and connection. Teens can create using more than pen and paper, experimenting with paint, washi tape, canvases, and other art materials to make each piece uniquely their own. No poetry or art experience needed—just curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to let what remains speak.

Invitamos a todas las personas adolescentes a explorar la experiencia humana a través de blackout poetry utilizando palabras, arte e imaginación. Trabajando con textos existentes, podrás borrar, resaltar y transformar el lenguaje para descubrir poemas sobre identidad, emoción, resiliencia y conexión. Puedes crear poesía utilizando más que un bolígrafo y un papel, experimentando con pintura, cinta washi, lienzos y otros materiales de arte para hacer que cada pieza sea única en su clase. No es necesario tener experiencia previa en poesía o en arte; sólo curiosidad, creatividad y buena disposición para darle voz a todo aquello que ha quedado descubierto.

As a multi-instrument singer-songwriter, Michael has appeared on stages both large and small, performing solo, plus duo/trio with his group BonFire. With covers ranging from classic to contemporary hits and originals, each performance takes listeners on an acoustic-electric joyride.

Fusing old school string band instrumentation with rock and roll exuberance, The Brothers Comatose cement their status as standard bearers of a thriving, innovative West Coast roots movement on their intoxicating new album, Golden Grass. Recorded with co-producers Greg Holden and Tim Bluhm, the collection is as diverse and enthralling as the California landscape itself—at times carefree and breezy, at times wild and rugged—with lush, organic arrangements full of rich vocal harmonies and driving guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass. While the record marks the group’s first release with newest member Addie Levy, the result is quintessential Brothers Comatose: a warm, joyful reflection on identity and the ties that bind from a band that knows exactly who they are (and exactly where they come from).

Founded by Ben and Alex Morrison in 2008, The Brothers Comatose first emerged from San Francisco with their 2010 debut, Songs From The Stoop, which helped earn dates with the likes of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Greensky Bluegrass, and Trampled By Turtles. In the decade-and-a-half that followed, the critically acclaimed quintet would go on to release five more full-length LPs, rack up nearly 50 million streams, land festival slots at Outside Lands, High Sierra, and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, tour with Lake Street Dive, The Devil Makes Three, and Yonder Mountain String Band, and build up a devoted following thanks to their raucous live shows and relentless schedule.
