Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild Art GalleryVestiges: What Remains — A Watercolor Exhibition by Jeanne Ramsey
At the Robert & Helen Jennette Gallery Wall within SAWG Gallery, a watercolor exhibition by Jeanne Ramsay centers on the traces people and places leave behind. What started as studies of aging trucks, roadside buildings, and weather-worn surfaces across the Southwest shifts toward the stories they hold... memory, the passage of time, use, and loss. Drawn to sun-bleached paint, rusted metal, glints of light, and bits of everyday life, Ramsay builds atmosphere and curiosity through softened contours, transparent layers, and generous negative space. The paintings encourage unhurried looking and invite personal interpretation of what remains. Ramsay is a watercolor artist based in Arizona and exhibits with the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild, Tubac Center of the Arts, and the Arizona Watercolor Association.

Jazz Is Dead w/ Marcos Valle
KXCI and ArtDontSleep present Jazz Is Dead with Marcos Valle, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and producer whose career bridges bossa nova, MPB, funk, and jazz fusion. Valle studied classical music while immersing himself in jazz, began writing with his brother Paulo Sérgio as lyricist, and quickly earned national recognition after Tamba Trio scored a hit with one of his early compositions. His second album, O Compositor e o Cantor, became a touchstone, and its single Samba de Verão inspired countless cover versions. International collaborations and releases followed, including celebrated recordings like Samba ’68 and the groove-rich Garra, as his sound evolved to embrace rock influences, bass-driven rhythms, and smooth funk without losing his melodic core. Later, renewed attention from the rare-groove scene led to retrospectives and new projects, among them Nova Bossa Nova, Sempre with notable guest musicians, and Cinzento featuring collaborations across Brazil’s contemporary music community. Valle also partnered with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad for the Jazz Is Dead series, creating new music that threads together samba, bossa, MPB, and psychedelic funk, including a duet with Patricia Alvi. This is a standing room only show, with seating included for High Top Tables for 4 and Stage View Seating ticket types. The event is open to ages 16 and up, and attendees under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Angel Parking may be available as an add-on during checkout.
