Pop-Cyclicle by Ron Evans @ Punch
2024-06-01 12:00 - 16:00, 2024-06-08 12:00 - 16:00 | Punch Projects, 10630 N Thorp Hwy, Thorp, WA, 98946, United States
Ron Evans
Pop-Cyclicle: Robots, rayguns & remnants from a time or place that likely never existed.

Ron Evans, a dynamic mixed-media artist rooted in East Wenatchee, is driven by an unwavering and inexplicable passion for robots, rayguns, pinup, mid-century design, and pop culture. While his artistic journey began with acrylic paintings and pen & ink illustrations, Evans has ventured into the realm of 3D artistry, crafting intricate sculptures from paper, wire and foamboard.
Within his creative philosophy, 1960s kitsch, nostalgic tacky motels, Saturday morning cartoons, and heavy metal album covers are elevated to the status of ‘fine art’. Evans strives to infuse his creations with both substance and a sense of approachability.
In 2015, Evans opened a tiny art gallery in his home called RadarStation. The success of these shows – focusing mostly on lowbrow street art and pop-surrealism – led to a downtown gallery/bar/venue which operated from 2017-2019. In 2017, Evans launched The Comet Magazine, an alternative local-centric arts and entertainment monthly which continues to grow in readership and coverage.
Pop-cyclicle showcases some of the investigations, interpretations and transgressions that occupy Evan’s creative mind. Please join us for the opening on Saturday, June 1, from noon until 4 pm with live music by the legendary Jumpin’ Johnny at 2-4pm in the PUNCH bar.

Upcoming Events on the PUNCH Stage:

6/01: Jumpin’ Johnny [acoustic jams from a legendary rocker], 2-4pm
6/08: Anjuman [classical indian/ afro-cuban fusion], 2-4pm
6/15: The Last of the Red Hot Mamas [jazz-inspired, country-sauced blues], 2-4pm
6/22: Randy Weeks and the Silent Treatment [soul/ americana/ roots rock], 2-4pm
6/29: Last Saturday!: DJ Grand Marshal, The Nightmares [punk /garage-rock], Datura [post punk/ goth rock ], 6-8pm

Monthly Song Circle
2024-06-01 18:30 - 20:30 | Leavenworth, US Hwy 2, Leavenworth, WA, 98826, United States
Shine Song Collective presents a Monthly Song Circle.

Every month on the 1st – locations will vary.

What is a Shine Song circle? Together we will sing simple, heartfelt songs that invoke our inner most power. Our voice is a musical instrument…but also an instrument for healing, for mental clarity, for generating true confidence, and for the awakening of a heightened consciousness.

While many other musical events are passive – you listen and take it in, our offering is active. Shine song circles are all about how it feels on the inside, not about how it sounds on the outside, a safe place to express yourself. Be prepared for movement and soul connections too, through the power of our collective voice.

We’ll be singing old songs, new songs, loud ones, soft ones, funny, intense and tender ones. Yours, mine and ours. No experience necessary, all are welcome. Just bring your open heart. And some water.
~~~
S.H.I.N.E stands for
S. Sacred synchronicity in song
H. Harmonically holding space to heal
I. Inspiring innovative inner work, inclusively
N. nurturing new neural pathways for nourishment
E. Everyone elevates ecstatically!

The 2024 Juried Art Show & Sale will be judged by Velocity Made Good founder Perri Lynch Howard, CWU Campus Visits Manager Sarah Haven, and WVMCC Board President Stephanie Stauffer.
Perri Lynch Howard: Perri Lynch Howard is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, drawing, installation, and sound. Her work investigates the passage of light, sound, and signal through landscapes on the front lines of climate change—a phenomenology of place. Howards’ art has a global reach through exhibitions and sound installations completed in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Canada, the Arctic Circle, and in South India as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar. She is a volunteer field recording ambassador with Quiet Parks International, an avid adventurer, and a private pilot.
Sarah Haven: While studying theatre as an undergrad, Sarah Haven took a ceramics class on a whim, and it changed the course of her life. In 2003, she relocated from Ohio to Washington for graduate school. Enthralled with the Pacific Northwest, she decided to stay upon completing her MFA. After 12 exciting years at Gallery One Visual Arts Center, a nonprofit in downtown Ellensburg, Sarah recently returned to work at Central Washington University. She relishes spending time-pinching pots in her basement studio as well as serving on the board of the Washington Clay Arts Association. Sarah’s pots are available at Saltstone Ceramics in Seattle, WA, and Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN.
Stephanie Stauffer: Stephanie currently serves as board President of the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center. For close to twenty years, she has worked as a lawyer, and is currently employed by Starr Ranch as its general counsel. Although Stephanie’s personal artistic skill is limited, she appreciates creative expression in all forms and is immensely appreciative for the opportunity to participate in the 2024 Juried Art Show.
