Fellow Pynins is an award winning contemporary folk duo with a keen and bucolic sense of vocal harmony and song craft. The live performance is a whimsically emotional escapade through the chasms of our, yes, feelings. Dashed with spontaneous and clever banter, mirth and woe, you will probably cry and quite possibly laugh, a lot. Wielding claw-hammer banjo, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, and acoustic guitar the duo sings predominantly original music as well as reworked traditional ballads gathered from their travels.

Neo-classical piano renegade x culture innovator. Born and raised in Detroit’s inner-city, BLKBOK (born Charles Wilson III), grew up in a music-filled house and by the time he was 8, BLKBOK was an acclaimed piano prodigy, winning statewide accolades and college-level competitions. When it came to music, most of the kids he grew up with pursued hip-hop, adopting rap names. However, it’s no coincidence that Charles chose the name BLKBOK, which echoes that of one of the greatest pianists and composers of all time. The tag is also an apt reflection of the elements that have contributed to the artist’s identity and symbolizes his colorful journey from pop and hip-hop culture to his critically acclaimed, neo-classical debut album Black Book, and various Mixtape projects and collaborations. BLKBOK’s live, high-energy performance is culturally reflective and seeks to entertain with a live piano based performance like none you have ever seen before. BLKBOK’s vision is to illuminate awareness for all, encouraging dialogue and counterpoint in the way we perceive ourselves and the world we live in together. BLKBOK’s critically-acclaimed debut album Black Book, served as a founding cornerstone at the very first Juneteenth Foundation’s Freedom Concert and was re-released as a DLUX Edition in June, with two new tracks, Forgotten Girls and Kendrick + Karine, covering relevant topics in mainstream culture, and in the voice that is uniquely BLKBOK. His first Mixtape release, CVRART, and Mixtape project Angels Watching Over Me, with world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee, illustrate the innovative and disruptive musical landscape that is BLKBOK. His original track Stars (Ad Astra) was performed as the first-ever piano duet from Space in April 2022. More info x vibes visit BLKBOK.com + Follow @BLKBOK

Starring our Equality and Casting Director Racquel McKenzie and professional Phoenix actor Cynnita Agent, and directed by Bray Lawrence (director of our Viola Award winning production of Crumbs from the Table of Joy), this two person play will bring you new perspectives on what it is like to be a Black woman in America today.

The show highlights the beauty of female friendships but is relatable to people of all walks of life, regardless of race or gender.
Includes adult language and content.
The show runs Fridays through Sundays May 12-14 in Phoenix and May 19-21 in Flagstaff.

Buy Tickets
Up Next Flagstaff is a new series at Coconino Center for the Arts that is proud to showcase local emerging artists. For its premiere concert in the series CCA brings to the stage two local acts, The Carbonics and Cameron Jameson. This concert is Pay What You Can. Proceeds go to support performing artists in the series.

The Carbonics are an alternative rock band founded in Flagstaff in 2022. Their sound combines a pop sensibility with strong roots in folk, blues, and soul. The result is emotionally compelling songs with catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. They can fill a dance floor with an infectious bass groove or spin a contemplative yarn to a listening room. Hints of contemporary influences like Nathaniel Rateliff, the Lumineers, and Vampire Weekend can be heard in their music, along with legendary songwriters from Otis Redding to Bruce Springsteen.
The band got its start when lead singer and songwriter Bryan Griffith, an accomplished visual artist, began writing music as a new creative outlet when all of his art exhibitions were canceled due to Covid-19. After the pandemic, Griffith recruited lead guitarist Sam Williams, bassist Mike Handforth, and drummer Beau Santillan to help bring those songs and more to life.

Cameron Jameson is a born and raised flagstaff local who is bringing fresh original music through his band Piso Mojado and is now taking the stage with a solo performance! With influences from Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Jason Mraz he’s bringing fun acoustic music to every show he plays!

Opening Reception for Paula Jean Rice 'Transformation & Transcendence' and Jihan Gearon 'TRICKY'
2023-04-15 17:00 - 20:00
Member Preview: 5pm to 6pm
General Public: 6pm to 8pm
Suggested Donation: $10
Join us for the opening reception of two incredible exhibitions.
In the Main Gallery:
Paula Jean Rice: Transformation & Transcendence is a retrospective exhibition of visionary ceramic sculpture. The collection includes four decades of Rice’s work from public and private collections, offering a comprehensive survey of the artist’s complete oeuvre. Presented as a multi-media exhibition, the three-dimensional sculptures and relief wall-mounted pieces are accompanied with recent audio recordings of Rice sharing the stories and inspirations behind each series. The artist’s captivating recollections provide the audience with poetic insight on her life’s work.
Paula Jean Rice is a nationally renowned ceramic sculptor and educator, whose interests include the nature and mystery of the human body and our place in the cosmos. Rice is Professor Emerita of Art at Northern Arizona University, where she has received myriad awards for excellence in teaching and creative work. Living at 7000 ft elevation in Flagstaff, Arizona—location of the discovery of the dwarf planet Pluto—she is a passionate observer of the clear night skies.
In the Project Gallery:
Jihan Gearon’s TRICKY includes and builds on the artist’s November 2022 exhibition SURRENDER: Quarantine Questions | Pandemic Wisdom. Surrender – to surrender, to give oneself up – was the key theme of that body of work. In surrendering, Gearon is learning to believe in herself; give and receive love more deeply; foster excitement instead of fear; and transform bitterness, isolation, and ego into compassion, wisdom, and awareness that all is connected.
But surrendering can be tricky. What about all those parts of ourselves we don’t want to be, let alone surrender ourselves to? What of doubt, jealousy, pride, fear? How can we navigate those chaotic waters? Previous and new paintings will offer guides, warnings, and experiences through tricky situations.

Going Up with Sara Schaefer

Buy Tickets
In her new solo show, Sara Schaefer teaches you how to unlock your potential in this fake(?) seminar about defeating your hecklers, developing your TS (thick skin) and achieving total perfect comedy success. No matter your walk of life, you can make your dreams come true simply by Going Up!

Going Up is, on its surface, a hilarious recruitment into the cult of comedy. But at its heart, the show is a bold confrontation of a system rampant with abuse, an examination of what it means to be a creative person in today’s world, and Sara’s own reckoning with the tiny voice in her head that tells her she’s not good enough. Combining sharp joke writing, scathing satire, original music and incredibly detailed handmade miniatures, Sara takes the audience on a wholly original journey through the darkness and into the light.
“Spoofing the cult of comedy in the language of Scientology, the wry, incisive stand-up Sara Schaefer adopts the pose, jargon and microphone of a guru in her new solo show about how to make it in the stand-up business…Ambitious and nimble, sneakily personal with enough inside-baseball jokes to make it a must-see…” – The New York Times
“Schaefer herself has done spectacular work in almost every discipline of comedy and almost on every level, and now, with that wealth of experience and acclaim, is doing a perfectly biting satirical solo show on ‘how to become a comedian’.” – The Comedy Bureau

About Sara Schaefer
Sara Schaefer is a critically acclaimed stand up comedian, writer, and artist. Her Comedy Central Stand Up Presents half hour special debuted in November 2019 and she was the co-host of MTV’s late night show Nikki & Sara Live. Sara published her first book, Grand, in 2020 with Simon & Schuster. She has written for numerous television programs including Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Would I Lie To You, and The History of Swear Words. She won two Emmy awards for her work at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In recent years, Sara’s satirical sketches have been viral hits, including Comedy Ad, Quarantine Barbie, How To Sell a TV Show in 3 Easy Steps, and MeResearch. The New York Times called her new solo show Going Up “ambitious and nimble” and “a feat of comedy.” She will be touring the show in the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. in 2023.

Thunderstorm Artis
2023-03-14 19:30 - 21:30
Buy Tickets
For his entire life, singer/songwriter Thunderstorm Artis has stayed devoted to making music that strengthens the heart and awakens the soul
A multi-instrumentalist who got his start playing in a band with his 10 siblings as a little kid, the 26-year-old Hawaii native has since brought his warm yet powerful vocals and vibrant musicality to such endeavors as touring with Jack Johnson and sharing stages with legends like Booker T. Jones. After years of refining his craft and carving out his singular identity as an artist, the Oregon-based musician has created his most captivating work to date: a genre-bending batch of songs built on both emotionally raw storytelling and incisive soul-searching, offering much-needed insight into living with hope even in the darkest of times.
Born into an exceptionally musical family—his father Ron was a Motown session player who performed on iconic tracks like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” while his mother Victoria toured as a backup singer for the likes of Lena Horne—Artis grew up in Oahu and started playing drums at age nine, later taking up piano, guitar, and harmonica. Although he’d dabbled in songwriting throughout his childhood, he found a whole new sense of artistic purpose after using music to cope with the sudden death of his father. “Once I started really focusing on songwriting, I realized my music could bring healing not only to me, but to other people in pain,” says Artis, who was 13 when his father passed away. Raised on everything from jazz to country to classic soul singers like Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye, he immersed himself in sharpening his songcraft and soon began touring extensively with his older brother, acclaimed singer/songwriter Ron Artis II. With his debut EP Haunted released in 2018, Artis next emerged as a finalist on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2020, in addition to becoming a mainstay at Wanderlust festivals throughout North America.
In bringing his latest output to life, Artis worked in Los Angeles with producers John Alagia (NEEDTOBREATHE, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real) and Jesse Siebenberg (Lissie, Blue Sky Riders) and in Nashville with producer Dan Agee (Jessie James Decker, The Cains). Spotlighting the stunning range of his voice more fully than ever before, each song matches his nuanced reflection with a newly expanded sound. “There’s been a lot of change for me over the last few years, and this music is an embodiment of who I am now,” notes Artis, who married his wife Faith McMaster in 2020 and welcomed their first child into the world in 2022. One of the first tracks penned for his new project, “Take Me to the Fire” unfolds in soulful piano work and moody guitar tones as Artis speaks to the profound transformation that often follows times of struggle. “As I was writing that song, I was looking at it from the perspective of my religion,” explains Artis, who’s dedicated much of his life to working in ministry. “There’s a lot in the text of Christianity about letting go of what doesn’t belong, and stepping into the person you’re truly meant to be.” Another song deeply informed by his faith, “Stand Up Eight” arrives as a bold and urgent anthem graced with potent beats and a searing guitar solo. “The idea of falling down seven times and standing up eight comes from the Scriptures,” says Artis. “It’s about how no matter how much life knocks you down, you’ve got to have the strength to keep getting back up.”
A prime showcase for his extraordinary versatility, Artis’s new body of work also encompasses the cascading folk of “Oh Little River” and the brightly soaring alt-pop of “Surprise” (a gorgeously expressed outpouring of love for his wife). And on “Wildfire,” Artis sets his introspection to a spellbinding backdrop of tender acoustic guitar and delicate piano melodies. “Of all my new songs, ‘Wildfire’ really shows a piece of my history,” he says. “At some point in my life, I realized I’d put up these walls to protect myself from the pain I felt after losing my dad. But as I got older, the walls had become more like a prison. ‘Wildfire’ is about how we all need someone to help us burn those walls down, so that we can find healing instead of hiding from the world.”
For Artis, the work of writing such revelatory songs has become its own form of sustenance. “From a very young age, music has been like an anchor for me; I really don’t know where it’d be without it,” he says. “At this point I don’t go anywhere without my guitar—because if I do, I feel like there’s a part of me that’s missing.” But for all the fulfillment he finds in songwriting, Artis always keeps an eye toward the potential impact on his audience. “I believe that artists have a responsibility to explain what they’re feeling and put it into their art, so that others can understand themselves better,” he says. “So even though I hope my songs give people a better sense of who I am as a person, I also hope the music makes them feel stronger and helps them to grow. I hope it shows them how to love one another, and how to love themselves.”

From Darkness to Light Radiation Mask Exhibit
2023-03-04 - 2023-03-26
“From Darkness to Light,” an exhibit of cancer treatment radiation masks transformed into artistic sculptures of courage, determination, and beauty. Each custom-mesh mask was molded to the face of a cancer patient for use during radiation treatment of the head and neck. These masks, which held the patients’ heads and bodies still for treatment, have been reworked by local artists and made into symbols of resolve and endurance in the face of adversity. There is a Wonder Woman mask, a Harvest Warrior mask, and masks which honor prayer, the act of “pushing through,” light, and the path of healing. Each mask honors an individual’s great effort to heal their body and every mask also honors the challenges faced by all cancer patients.
The exhibit was organized by the Cancer Support Community of Arizona, a local non-profit which provides free services to cancer patients, their families, and caregivers. Services include support groups, social activities, mind/body therapies, nutritional counseling, and educational seminars among others. Photos of the masks and information about the artists and patients who inspired them can be found at https://buff.ly/2LMM7XV.
