SUMMARY:Ray Wood's "Singing DAX/Instagram Girl"
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Exhibit\nAfter 40 years\, Wood is back with another solo show at the Maturango Museum to share his paintings of models and actresses from around the world posing by request with his dog “DAX” \nDAX is half black labrador retriever and bloodhound and loves to sing and fluctuate his voice to TV programs and music. DAX made his debut singing on Instagram about 2 years ago and Wood discovered people not only loved DAX for his singing ability but also his charm and the way he would interact with people. As time went on\, models from around the world asked to be painted with DAX and things began to take off. Singing DAX is now a household name on Instagram and people ask to be painted with him daily. \nDAX usually poses with models\, but in his time off\, he has models wearing his Singing DAX hat or his logo in the paintings. Wood discovered that art is an excellent way to bring people together and gives them a common ground to discover each other and their cultures. DAX now has over 750 followers from around the world and not only brings a positive message to people enjoying beautiful models but also a subliminal message with a little humor. \nInstagram is an excellent forum for artists because it allows them to get immediate feedback and stimulates good positive conversation. Posting paintings daily on Instagram with music has also been very inspirational and has motivated Wood to do hundreds of paintings. By allowing everyone to translate easily it enables people from around the world to be able to communicate freely and feel comfortable while talking with one another. \nPlease enjoy the show and you can always enjoy seeing DAX on Instagram @ singingdax \n

SUMMARY:Children’s Hour: “Winds\, Clouds\, and High-Flying Birds”
DESCRIPTION:Young children and their families are invited to help us welcome the new year with a Children’s Hour titled “Wind\, Clouds\, and High-Flying Birds.”\nYoung children of our Indian Wells Valley have likely all felt the force of strong winter winds\, blowing fast and fierce! In the featured program\, creative actions for kids will accompany stories about wind\, storms\, and clouds with their imagination-stirring shapes transforming the sky. Birds such as snow geese come to live for the winter in our valley\, while other kinds of birds pause only to eat and rest during the autumn as they migrate further south. On their journeys they can be seen soaring high along uplifting currents of air\, as naturally as children running along a sidewalk pretending to fly! Children’s Hour\, begun by a group of volunteer docents in 2009\, continues to encourage both learning and appreciation of books\, the Mojave desert and nearby mountains. Each program theme is explored through storybooks\, songs\, action activities\, crafts and natural history exhibits from the docents’ collection. \nCuriosity and questions from children are warmly received!!\nWe hope to see you for this free\, educational and monthly event! Information about Children’s Hour can\nbe found on Maturango.org or by calling 760-375-6900.
