Edie Dillon’s recent mixed media sculpture offers thought provoking visual interpretations of the ideas that lead us away from the limiting frame of human exceptionalism: interdependence, reciprocity, and connection between humans and the more than human world.

The growing Rights of Nature movement – which advances nature itself as a body deserving legal rights – has the potential to significantly increase our chances of sustaining all life on the planet. The movement puts into practice our increasingly inclusive and multidimensional understandings of the more than human world – understandings that encompass both deep spiritual traditions and sophisticated scientific discoveries.

NHI Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday from 12-4:00 pm.

Please join the Northern Arizona Chapter of the Arizona Archaeological Society for a presentation by Don Keller

I've had to consider how to map and represent a wide variety of archaeological heritage sites and features during my years of work in the Southwest. My presentation will attempt to describe and explain a range of these, outlining methods and interpretations of forms and functions.

Don studied undergraduate engineering at UCLA and the Peace Corps, received an MA in anthropology from SUNY/Binghamton and has been fortunate to follow a career in Southwestern archaeology since the mid-1970s.

All are welcome. All are related.

A social gathering for artists of all skill levels. Get your creative juices flowing with fun drawing prompts.

Water has always been at the heart of life and survival in the desert Southwest. This presentation explores the history, law and ongoing significance of Tribal water rights in Arizona. Presenter Cora Tso will trace the evolution of Tribal water law and policy—from early court battles and landmark settlements to present-day efforts to protect and manage these critical resources. Participants will gain insight into how Tribal nations are shaping Arizona’s water future, environmental stewardship, Tribal nation-building and sovereignty in a time of scarcity and change.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Texas Music Revolution” showing May 15-21 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Get ready for a toe-tapping, edge of your seat, behind the scenes look at the 25th anniversary of one of the most treasured, Americana/Folk/Country music festivals — Texas Music Revolution — based in McKinney, TX.

“Texas Music Revolution” — featuring Kiefer Sutherland, Charley Crockett & Ray Wylie Hubbard — follows the journey of indie radio station KHYI-FM GM and music festival founder Joshua Jones as he produces the silver anniversary of this iconic event.

As much a document of reintroducing live music in the wake of a pandemic, it is a celebration of Texas and its roots — where, at the crossroads of purist country and Americana has evolved the iconic 'red dirt' Waylon-and-Willie style considered one of three pillars of American country music.

For more than a quarter of a century, KHYI-FM's commitment to radio independence has given voice to this unique sector of the country western genre. TMR has subsequently emerged as an iconic live showcase and grown into one of the largest independent music festivals in the USA. In a volatile era where larger festivals have shuttered, Joshua and KHYI must double down to produce their grandest event yet.

“Texas Music Revolution” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre May 15-21. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday and Tuesday, May 15, 16 and 19 at 6:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Monday and Thursday, May 17, 18 and 21 at 3:30 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.
