Purina’s ‘Raise a Pint for Pets’ program was first launched in 2017 in St. Louis, where a partnership with local brewer Urban Chestnut Brewing Company began raising funds for area shelters. The company has expanded the program to its factory markets in recent years, including a partnership between the company’s manufacturing facility in Hartwell, Georgia and Southern Hart Brewing Company. Purina has operated in Flagstaff since 1975 making some of the most trusted dog and cat food brands, including Beneful, Friskies and Pro Plan, and employing more than 330 local associates.

Mixing genres of video, performance, and drawing, Francisco González Castro’s work examines problems related to territorial borders, social inequalities, and bodily transgressions. The project title refers to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) existentialist quote that begins, “The body is a great intelligence,” (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), and infers that the human body and soul are one. This title is illuminated in Castro’s own artistic philosophy, which confronts the body, people who reject the body, and how the body is approached as subject and identity. Castro’s personal bodily transgressions and tests of endurance are vehicles for his discourse about geographic landscapes and political borders. It is within this integration of life-and-art, body-and-spirit, that we intend to immerse the audience in this physically ambitious and psychologically profound exhibition by Castro at Coconino Center for the Arts.
Join us for a captivating journey through time as we celebrate 75 years of the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra.
From its humble beginnings in 1899 when a group of women, led by Emma Babbitt, sponsored programs in the opera house on the second floor of the Babbitt building, to becoming a cornerstone of cultural heritage in Northern Arizona, this talk explores the rich history, transformative performances, and enduring impact of the FSO. Delve into the stories behind the music, the visionaries who shaped its legacy, and the community that has cherished its music-making for generations. Though the orchestra changed its name several times over the past seventy-five years, its vision has remained the same: to share beauty and inspire joy; to create meaningful experiences for families, friends, and neighbors; and to help cultivate generations of artists, educators, and leaders through its music education programs.
