SUMMARY:Lee Vining Centennial Community Fair

The Lee Vining Centennial honors 100 years of local history\, resilience\, culture\, and community spirit—from its early roots to its role today as a steward of the majestic Eastern Sierra landscape. \n“Reaching the 100-year mark is a monumental milestone for Lee Vining and all of Mono County\,” said David Carle\, President\, Mono Basin Historical Society. “This Centennial is not only a look back at the visionaries\, families\, and stewards who built this historic community\, but also a celebration of the bright future ahead. We invite everyone across the Eastern Sierra and beyond to join us at Hess Park to honor our history\, share stories\, and create new memories.” \nCentennial Event Highlights & Schedule \nThe celebration begins on Friday evening\, August 28\, with an intimate kickoff dinner at the historic Mono Inn Restaurant\, featuring period piano music performed by legendary Yosemite musician Tom Bopp. This event is already sold-out! \nFestivities continue all day on Saturday\, August 29\, at Hess Park in Lee Vining with a full schedule of family-friendly activities\, live entertainment\, and historical showcases\, including a pancake breakfast\, historic walking tours\, community BBQ\, time capsule ceremony\, and more \nAll community members\, visitors\, and history enthusiasts are encouraged to attend.

SUMMARY:Painting Bodie: Plein Air Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Demo & Painting Workshop: Tuesday September 22nd 12pm-5pm \n  \nThis workshop will share how Artists\, Jessica de Jesus and Becky Alarcon\, approach plein air painting – how small quick sketches can lead to a finished piece\, either in the field or at home. Our goal is to help participants see the fun and build confidence in outdoor painting\, despite the elements and distractions that come with painting in public. \n  \nThis workshop is ideal for artists who are new to plein air painting\, though artists of all levels are welcome. The workshop will include short demonstrations\, individualized feedback\, and opportunities to practice new skills in a supportive setting. \n  \nDuring the workshop\, Becky will demonstrate using water-based oils with palette knife techniques\, while Jessica will demonstrate using gouache. Together they bring experience working in transparent watercolor\, gouache\, acrylic gouache\, acrylics\, and oils\, and are happy to support artists working in a variety of mediums. All mediums are welcome. \n  \nWorkshop Focus \n-Plein air setup and practical tips/tricks \n-Picking a location \n-Quick notan and value studies to help with composition and design \n-Observing how two artists approach the same scene differently \n  \nBecky & Jess give short demonstrations followed by painting time\, allowing participants to immediately practice the concepts. Throughout the session\, they will circulate to provide individual feedback and guidance. \n  \nClass Fee: $100 Demo & Workshop \nPrice also includes State Park entry fee and a Bodie Docent \nThe tentative plan is to meet at Mono Arts Council for check-in at 12pm\, then caravan to location; Location subject to change pending weather conditions.
