Come join us for cribbage. We are part of the American Cribbage Congress (ACC) and play 9 games of competitive cribbage every Wednesday night from September-May. $10 buy in, and we payout on the top scorecards.

Host band this week is Blues Cartel

Tonight we’ll be watching two Ted Talks

Megan Phelps-Roper shares details of life inside America's most controversial church and her decision to leave it. She shares her personal experience of extreme polarization, along with some sharp ways we can learn to successfully engage across ideological lines.

Theo E.J. Wilson tells the story of becoming Lucius25, white supremacist lurker, and the unexpected compassion and surprising perspective he found from engaging with people he disagrees with. He encourages us to let go of fear, embrace curiosity and have courageous conversations with people who think differently from us.

Join facilitator Marla Estes and learn how to “depolarize within.” www.BuildingBridgers.com
Every 3rd Wednesday, watch fascinating and insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in a facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives.

June Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Emotionally Charged Narrative Paintings - Carol Aust

Monday, June 2 - Monday, June 30, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, June 6, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are emotionally charged narrative paintings by Carol Aust. Carol's compositions are filled with intense emotional stories infused with mysterious tension and secrecy. She often places her figures in precarious environments where anything could happen. Sometimes celebratory, sometimes lonely and disturbing, her paintings express a wide range of human desire and yearning. Carol’s artwork consistently features strong and vibrant colors along with figures that are both engaging and vulnerable.

ART in ACTION with Tom Baker at ART on FIRST
Thursday, June 19, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Join ART on FIRST and Tom Baker for ART in ACTION, an opportunity to meet, experience, and interact with Tom while he provides a live demonstration of him creating his beautiful fine wood pieces. Tom's passion for working wood evolved into a passion for art. When he's at the lathe, he listens to what the wood is telling him it wants to be. He almost always has an idea of what he wants to produce from any given piece of wood, but he rarely completes it as envisioned - the wood guides him to its best form and use. Tom's passion lies in the creation of wood art that significantly improves the quality of life for others, bringing a rustic elegance to any space.

We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.

We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!

Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:

Freshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas
Lovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)

You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.

Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.

$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.

The Grants Pass Juneteenth Celebration is on Thursday, June 19 at 4:30-6:30 at the Travillian Pavilion at Riverside Park.

It'll be a wonderful time of celebrating our beloved community and the legacy of freedom in our country!!
