Review

First surprise: at the Manley Art Center, the Carl Rovainen Trio showed up with four musicians! Plus there was “Whiskers,” the mummified cat found recently during the reconstruction of the old wing, properly polished and enshrined in his own glass house. Guests could study Whiskers while they delighted in the delicacies prepared by the artists. Eva Marie Klaas demonstrated her painting skills
At Brian Scott Gallery’s inner Dungeon, Gold Beach watercolorist Pat Renner talked to Art Walkers about her work (see figure), while Brian Scott tasted the goodies. In the outer Dungeon Lon Goddard and friend entertained guests with guitars and singing.
The sensation at Words and Pictures was the exhibit “Feminine Mystique and Mythology” set up by sculptress Andrea Marchangelo and watercolorist Horst Wolf. The nude and semi-nude goddesses and nymphs of ancient Greek Mythology were unequivocally appreciated, especially since they were, as one Art Walker was overheard saying, “nicely clad in stripes.” Robert Scheppler (see figure), well known local actor and speaker, read the poem “Orpheus” of R.M. Rilke in front of Horst’s painting “Orpheus,” and other poetry, all selected especially for this exhibit. Nina Paulson and the Wolfgarten Duet provided the musical entertainment.
Probably the biggest surprise was in the Library Gallery: the first Art Walk appearance of a trombone quartet, “Bones Northwest.” (Fig. 3). The room resonated with classical as well as popular pieces streaming out of their mellow horns. The “Bones” alternated with Tom Broderick, who showed off his new Yamaha Portable Grand. The music fit well with the exhibit "Art as a Second Career, put on by five men who had turned artists after a successful first career: Pete Chasar, John Helgeson, Dale Wells, Horst Wolf, and Fillmore Earney, aka Silver Snake.
Guests came from as far as Port Orford and Crescent City to share in the Art Walk experience, which has turned into one of Brookings’ premier social events (see figure). Among the local dignitaries were Brookings’ new mayor, Pat Sherman; and actors Victoria Weller (see figure, looking over her glasses) and Michael Fox (see figure, on the right, talking to Horst Wolf, left).
