Greetings!
I
love autumn. Leaves changing, cool breezes at night and morning, the
feeling of preparing for a more intense season. And for art and
culture in Flagstaff, autumn might be the best season of all.
Not
only do we have the Festival of Science right now, but we also have the
Flagstaff Symphony back in action, the Flagstaff Mountain Film
Festival, a ton of programs at NAU, and the Orpheum Theatre back at
full speed. Good times!
For our autumn offerings at Flagstaff Cultural Partners, first we are pleased to announce nominations have opened for the 2nd Annual Viola Awards. Please participate by nominating someone. See just below this message for more information.
We also have the Grand Canyon Guitar Society concert series underway now - with their best lineup in years. And Stories to Life returns October 11! Plus two other great October concerts: Frank Rosaly's Milkwork, and Grammy-nominated duo, the Ditty Bops. All this, plus the Navajo Rug Auction on October 17. I hope you can join us for all the fun!
Cheers,
John Tannous "JT"
Executive Director

The FCP Staff Top Five: "Hot Now" Artists
 Here
in the offices of Flagstaff Cultural Partners, we are obsessed with
lists. We love to rank the things we love (and even the things we
don't love so much). For over a year now, we have done informal
staff "Top 5 Lists" of everything from our favorite lunch spots, to
music we can't stop playing, to exhibitions we can't wait to see.
These were once in our own little world - a way for us to break up a
busy day. But now, we have decided, for better or worse, to
release one of our Top 5 Lists each month in this Newsletter.
So... *gulp* here goes...
The Top 5 "Hot Now" Local Artists
We
define this as local artists that are catching our eye right now, or
receiving a lot of exposure recently (or should be). Click on each
artist to learn more about them.
Jason Bohnert
Jessica Dawn
Sambatuque
Karen McClanahan
Charmagne Coe
