SUMMARY:Transonic Communities Three-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by ARTx Keynote Presenter Guillermo Galindo. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop cultivates both individual expression and communal resonance—literally and metaphorically. Through guided exercises in listening\, vocalization\, and movement\, and a culminating public performance\, participants discover how sound resonates not only in spaces\, but between people\, creating unique sonic textures that emerge from group interaction. Participants will leave with heightened awareness of their sonic environment\, confidence in their voice\, and an understanding of sound as a medium for human connection. Led by ARTx Keynote Presenter Guillermo Galindo. \nParticipants are expected to attend all three sessions: \n• Friday\, May 1\, 2026\, from 5:30 – 6:30pm \n• Saturday\, May 2\, 2026\, from 9:00am – noon \n• Sunday\, May 3\, 2026\, from 2:00 – 3:00pm \nGuillermo Galindo Bio: \nGuillermo Galindo began as a classical composer — writing symphonies and operas — before reconceiving sound itself as a living\, generative force. Drawing from shamanic traditions\, Mesoamerican cosmology\, and the animist understanding that all matter carries a life force\, his work is animated by a single obsessive inquiry: what happens at the boundary — geographical\, political\, psychological\, biological\, and gendered — where one world ends and another begins. Recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship (2024)\, his work is held at LACMA\, the de Young\, Crystal Bridges\, and the National Gallery. He teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. \nThis fusion of visual and sonic thinking runs throughout his work. The Sonic Botany installations pair graphic notation prints with interactive soundscapes that interrogate the commodification of the living world. Sonic Biogenesis\, Genomics and Mutant Jungles (2022) treats biological form itself as a boundary — between species\, between organic and synthetic life\, between legible and mutant form. His exhibition Ruido Negro probes a post-Anthropocene horiz1on beyond the permanence of the human on the planet — where sound\, image\, matter\, figuration\, and code serve as elements in the perpetual creation of the living.

SUMMARY:"SAMARITANS" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:In the shadow of remarkable human struggle\, “Samaritans” weaves a poignant narrative of hope and humanity on the US-Mexico border\, shedding light on dedicated volunteers who challenge the harsh realities of migration through unwavering compassion and life- saving aid. After the film\, join Writer and Director David Damian Figueroa for a Q&A. \nFilm Synopsis:\n“Samaritans” immerses viewers in the harrowing yet heartwarming story of the dedicated older American volunteers known as the Samaritans\, who have been steadfast in their mission to provide humanitarian aid along one of the world’s deadliest migration routes. \nFilmed over three years\, including the backdrop of the “Great Migration of 2024\,” this powerful documentary navigates the severe challenges faced by tens of thousands of migrants seeking asylum in the United States\, while simultaneously highlighting the transformative impact of community and compassion. \nSet against the stark desert landscapes of Southern Arizona\, where temperatures can be unbearably high in the summer and frigidly low in the winter\, the film intimately captures the fierce dedication of “extreme volunteers’—individuals who risk their safety to confront systemic inequities and provide vital assistance. With access to the frontlines where tragedy and resilience collide\, “Samaritans” humanizes those navigating perilous journeys filled with desperation\, determination\, and a relentless pursuit of a better life. \nThis documentary serves as a tribute not only to the countless migrants who have sacrificed their lives seeking the American Dream but also to the advocates who refuse to disregard their plight. Through their stories\, we are reminded of our shared humanity and the critical need for compassion and systemic change in the face of a humanitarian immigration crisis.

SUMMARY:S.E. Willis & Friends
DESCRIPTION:An evening of Flagstaff blues \n\n\n\n\nBack in Flagstaff in 1969 musicians worked in just a few places: fraternity parties\, high school dances and the Oddfellows Underground on Arrowhead\, a teen dance hall in the basement. We all played there. (There were country bands at the Museum Club\, but no love for teenage rockers) \nMy band was the Vanilla Doorknob\, a psychedelic name for a pretty conservative small town dance band. The other band was the Sympler Form\, with Donny Roberts on guitar and Isidro Padilla on vocals. They were the bad boys\, south side characters who played a lot of underground material. They were covering the Velvet Underground’s Heroin for heaven’s sake! \nIsidro moved on\, lineups changed\, but Donny and I were pals and 17 years old then. Word got out that there was a new singer in town\, an older guy from New York City who had been in the Army in Germany. That was Frank Manhardt and I remember watching him at the Underground. \nHe stuck around\, bands changed\, and he and Donny became locally famous as Freaky Frank and the Pistons. Big crowds for them down at Shaky Jake’s\, the Zanzucchi family’s bar on South San Francisco. Then they moved to Tucson and did really well there as Straight Shot and the Frank and Woody Show. \nDonny moved to Nashville and became a top studio musician\, working with Webb Wilder and\, famously\, playing guitar on Steve Earle’s Copperhead Road. \nI’ve been trying to think of something different to try at Coconino Center for the Arts. November’s “An Evening of Flagstaff Blues” with Tommy Dukes\, Bob Blasi\, Dale Caddell\, Roger Smith\, Chuck Curry and Greg Varlotta was quite successful\, selling out for standing room only. Plans are being made for a Fall repeat\, but on May 9 Roger Smith and I will be hosting a smaller gathering with Frank Manhardt (Freaky Frank) and Donny Roberts. Other guests to be announced. \nThis show will be more eclectic\, not so Blues focused\, with more Americana and even Country elements. We’re having a party 60 years in the making! I know most folks in Northern Arizona weren’t around in 1969 or even ’76\, but I’m inviting you to come out and see what a lifetime of experience playing American music can achieve! Let’s have some fun!

SUMMARY:Indigenous Ties to Dark Skies: Arabic Poetry in the High Country
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 9\, 2026\, 8:00 – 10:00pm \nJoin cultural astronomer and Flagstaff Dark Skies Coalition executive director Dr. Danielle Adams for an evening exploring the rich heritage of indigenous Arabian astronomy through poetry and storytelling. Presented during the exhibition NightVisions: AMBER\, this special evening program invites audiences to experience the transition from twilight to darkness while reflecting on humanity’s enduring relationship with the night. \nThe evening begins indoors\, where Danielle will set the scene by telling stories from Arabian skies that depended on seeing stars near the limits of naked-eye visibility. Then she will take the audience into the ocean of classical Arabic poetry to illuminate the breadth and depth of poetic inspiration that came from a single asterism: the famed Pleiades star cluster. \nAs twilight fades\, the presentation will move outdoors under Flagstaff’s famous dark skies\, where Danielle will reveal how generations of ancient stargazers found meaning\, memory\, and beauty in the stars above. Using an astronomical laser\, she will help participants discover how stars became guides not only for navigation and seasonal forecasting\, but also for imagination and cultural expression.

SUMMARY:Max Gomez & Howe Gelb with Slant Can
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 19\, 7:30pm \nMax Gomez was born and raised in Taos\, New Mexico\, where he fell under the influence of country and blues singer-songwriters at an early age. After becoming a fixture in the New Mexico music scene\, Gomez left home to pursue a broader horizon. His debut album\, Rule the World (New West Records)\, earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S.\, into Canada\, and throughout Western Europe. \nHowe Gelb long has been saddled with such ticklish titles such as ‘godfather of alt-country’ ( only in the UK) and ‘elder ambassador of desert rock’ ( at 3:00 AM during a desperate writer’s deadline ) but please never utilize the moniker Americana ( which originally was a descriptive instigated by Sylvie Simmons of MoJo aeons ago ) and just call it American music; the result of a melting pot of the poor and tired and the huddled masses yearning to be free. \nIn three decades plus\, he’s managed to mash elements of erosion rock\, de-composition\, crunchy & western\, something close to blues\, punk snark\, lo-fi hi-fi\, pseudo jazz\, gospel a-choir-ing\, semi-standard piano standards and a side swipe of Andalusian gypsy flamenco. \nSLANT CAN  \nwhen straight can’t \nA week’s worth of rehearsing for a Giant Sand European tour with Thøger Lund for the upcoming Danish line up\, for Autumn 2025 led to this spontaneous creation instead that included newly Tuxoned Bethy Goodfellow. Like a child meant to stay on course and finish his homework\, instead would sneak out between songs needing to be gone over and instantly make up something new without losing the groove masters
