SUMMARY:Warner V. Graves III: An Art Exhibit  "Other Worlds"
DESCRIPTION:Warner V. Graves III’ Art Exhibit: “Other Worlds” \n  \n“The landscapes here have always been a source of inspiration for me\,  \nmy work reflects a deep connection to place and history.” Warner \n  \nWarner V. Graves is an artist known for his contemporary take on the rugged beauty of the California desert. Using bold color\, broad brush strokes\, line and texture and reacting to intuitive impulses\, the work unfolds as an exploration of the natural world and its lore. From a vintage stone cabin in Snow Creek\, (a small secluded village at the foot of Mt. San Jacinto)\, Warner creates paintings of simplified and stylized forms to convey the monumentality and spiritual awe of the surrounding desert wilderness. The work is strongly rooted to the various locations in and around the arid regions of California and reflects interest ranging from historic travel posters\, the natural sciences\, hiking\, and getting lost in the desert. \nThe playful use of color is a direct reference to the Canadian Group of Seven. Local early 20th century artist Agnes Pelton and her associated Taos School of Transcendental Art continues to be a source of inspiration. With the current series Warner hopes the viewer finds the beauty in the depiction of the desert environment but is also challenged to see the natural world not as a static form but as a living entity\, imbued with vitality and flux. \nThis fantastic exhibit will be in the Coso Room through August 24. \n

SUMMARY:Kern Plateau Meadows Field Trip
DESCRIPTION: Another! Kern Plateau Meadows Field Trip with Anne Dumas\nLet’s head to the high country! Join the Maturango Museum on a tour of several meadows on the Kern Plateau. \nThe Kern Plateau is a relatively flat area between 7\,500 and 8\,500 feet in elevation. There are about 30 meadows with streams and rich soil abundant with plants and flowers. Some years\, there are lots of frogs! \nIt will be fun to explore in the cool mountain air. The meadows we could visit include: Troy\, Powell\, Granite Knob\, Paloma\, Bonita and Osa. \nMeet at the museum at 7am. You will be required to sign a liability waiver. Great trip for kids and leashed well-behaved dogs. \nBuy tickets on the museum website maturango.org/events   The cost is $35 for museum members ($60 for 2 members)\, $45 nonmembers ($80 for 2). Kids under 18 are free. \nCancellation Policy:  If the Museum cancels your trip\, you will be given a full refund or you may transfer the money to a different trip.  No cash refunds will be given if you cancel. \nCarpooling is encouraged\, but not required. For those driving\, be sure your vehicle is in good repair and that it has a full tank of gas. We will be driving approximately 200 miles round trip on our day long adventure. We will return to the museum in the evening. (Or you could drive up and over Sherman Pass and head home through Kernville.) \nBe sure to bring a picnic lunch and plenty of water. Once we pass the Kennedy Meadows General Store\, there is no place to buy food or drinks. Also\, if you like\, bring a folding chair\, a rain jacket\, hiking poles\, bug spray\, hat and sunscreen.

SUMMARY:Hidden Ridgecrest 5
DESCRIPTION:The video will share some fun facts….\nDid you know that the widening of China Lake Boulevard to 4 lanes in 1955 was one of Ridgecrest’s largest community celebrations ever?\nDid you know that on the north range of China Lake there exists a mysterious rock shelter that may or may not be a cavalry fort from the 1800s?\nDid you know that most names in Ridgecrest come from several sources and that many like “Downs\,” “Crumbville\,” and “Peg\,” are named after people that either had nothing to do with the area\, were misspelled\, or were Red Mountain prostitutes?\nThese and other gripping questions will be answered in this 5th version of “Hidden Ridgecrest.” Producers\, Mark Pahuta and John Daly\, will be on hand to introduce the video and to answer any questions after the screening. As usual the event is free\, but seating is limited. The video runs about one hour.
