Clara M. Lovett Art Museum

September 15 - November 27, 2025

Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 - 5:00 PM

The Clara M. Lovett Art Museum at Northern Arizona University proudly presents Prints. People. Power., an exhibition celebrating the bold visual voices of artists from across the American southwest as well as Central and South America who harness the power of printmaking to address pressing social, political, and cultural issues while also celebrating our shared humanity. Featuring works from the museum’s permanent collection, we focus on artists from three organizations: the Taller de Grafica Popular (1937), the Movimiento Artistico del Rio Salado (1978), and the Arizona Print Group (1990s). The exhibition enables visitors to explore how artists utilize the democratic medium of print to amplify marginalized voices, inspire dialogue, and foster connections across borders.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Naked Ambition” showing Sept. 19-25 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Bunny Yeager, once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, had a huge influence on 20th-century pop culture, though few people know her name.

Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy, or inventing the selfie, Bunny was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the very changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic — until now.

Featuring testimonies from Dita VonTeese, Bruce Weber and Larry King, “Naked Ambition” is a rediscovery of a brilliant yet overlooked artist.

“Naked Ambition” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Sept. 19-25. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Monday, Sept. 19, 20 and 22 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday and Thursday, Sept. 23 and 25 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Waltzing with Brando” showing Sept. 19-25 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.

“Waltzing with Brando” follows Marlon Brando (Billy Zane) — then the most famous actor in the world — as he filmed “Mutiny on the Bounty” and bought a tiny and uninhabitable island in Tahiti. His intent was to escape his hectic Hollywood lifestyle and show the world the path to sustainability.

To achieve this goal, he plucks Judge (Jon Heder) — an obscure but idealistic Los Angeles architect — from his stable existence and convinces him that together they could build the world's first truly sustainable ecological retreat.

This beautifully shot film captures a lesser-known pursuit of the legendary actor during a time in his life when he was shooting some of his more acclaimed roles. The dichotomy between his in-demand Hollywood projects and his pursuit of calmness and sustainability are charmingly told in this film set in one of the most breathtaking places on Earth.

“Waltzing with Brando” — based on a true story — also stars Richard Dreyfuss.

“Waltzing with Brando” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres Sept. 19-25. Showtimes will be Friday, Sept. 19 at 2:00 p.m.; Saturday, Sept. 20 at 3:00 p.m.; Sunday, Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m.; Monday, Sept. 22 at 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, Sept. 23 at 4:00 p.m.; Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 3:30 p.m.; and Thursday, Sept. 25 at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
