Thursday | October 8, 2026

5 – 7 PM

This exhibition celebrates drawing as a shared practice rooted in collaboration, and creative exchange. Artists affiliated with the Hozhoni Foundation, a nonprofit serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, worked alongside invited artists to create the drawings presented here, responding to one another’s ideas, marks, and approaches.

Throughout the exhibit, a rotating selection of curated student projects inspired by these works will extend the dialogue through observation, interpretation, and response.

Chair yoga allows you to do yoga regardless of your ability, and will help you build and keep your strength, flexibility and balance. Instructor Lori Wallach has been teaching yoga for over 14 years, and has experience teaching all kinds of yoga, from power yoga to meditation. Presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library.

Artist Panel Discussion: Nature as Collaborator - Part of the Flagstaff Painting and Photography Plein Air Festival
Friday, October 9, 5:00 - 7:00pm

Join us for an Artist Panel Discussion exploring how artists are approaching the environment as a partner in the physical creation of art, rather than simply using nature as passive visual inspiration. We welcome Tom Conner, David Lash, and Gwen Waring to discuss a variety of topics including how artists bring nature back to the studio through imagery/composition, through material choice, and through expression/impression. We will also touch on how artists navigate environmental concerns in relation to their physical materials, and reframing the artistic process as a dialog with ecosystems, emphasizing a return to mindful, sustainable craftsmanship that respects our ecological interconnectedness with the planet’s changing landscape. We invite your questions to this open panel. Bring a chair, grab a beverage, and settle in for a lively discussion. Advanced registration is recommended due to limited seating. Free to join, though donations are welcome at the door.

Cost: Free — Donations Welcome

This 36-hour hackathon welcomes not only technology enthusiasts, programmers and developers, but also artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, educators, activists, students and community members. Participants from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise will collaborate to develop creative digital solutions addressing critical and timely social issues.

Unlike conventional hackathons typically designed for computer programmers and developers, Hacks for Humanity invites university and community participants above the age of 18 of all skill levels and disciplines to engage in creative problem-solving rooted in ASU Project Humanities’ Humanity 101® principles: compassion, empathy, forgiveness, integrity, kindness, respect and self-reflection.

This year’s event centers on these four themes:

AI and Humanity: As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, how can society ensure that humans retain agency, dignity and trust?

Aging and Labor: The nature of work is rapidly changing because of automation, gig economies and shifting workplace expectations. How do these changes intersect with the needs and experiences of an aging population?

Children and Social Media: Social media is creating new forms of digital identity. How are these online identities shaping and affecting children today?

Parenting: Caring for and nurturing another human being may be one of life’s most challenging responsibilities. How can caring for loved ones, at any age, be improved for everyone involved?
