Miller-Golf Links LibraryVestiges: What Remains — A Watercolor Exhibition by Jeanne Ramsey
Jeanne Ramsay presents a contemplative watercolor exhibition on the Robert & Helen Jennette Gallery Wall at SAWG Gallery. Originating in close observations of old trucks, roadside structures, and other weathered scenes of the Southwest, these paintings shift attention from the subjects themselves to what they carry... memory, the passage of time, signs of use, and the hint of disappearance. Inspired by sun-faded paint, oxidized metal, fleeting reflections, and small fragments of daily life, Ramsay builds atmosphere through layered washes, soft edges, and spacious compositions. The work encourages a slower look, inviting viewers to notice quiet traces left by people and places and to bring their own meaning to what remains. Ramsay is an Arizona-based watercolor artist and an exhibiting member of the Southern Arizona Watercolor Guild, Tubac Center of the Arts, and the Arizona Watercolor Association.

Fosse’s distinctive choreography powers memorable musical set pieces, and the film received eight Academy Awards, including Best Director for Fosse, Best Actress for Liza Minnelli, and Best Supporting Actor for Joel Grey.

The shadow side is part of the work too... naming the imbalances you repeat and the devotion that can slide into self-erasure, because visibility creates agency and opens the door to change. Participants leave with a clear understanding of their own Juno placement and tools to articulate needs, recognize moments of self-abandonment, and value reciprocity as a cornerstone of partnership. Birth charts are provided. This workshop opens the Goddess Asteroid Series, which continues with Vesta, Ceres, and Pallas.

Hacienda del Sol Guest Ranch ResortArtDontSleep presents 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.
