The Lonesome Ace Stringband is an old-time band with bluegrass chops that play some righteous folk and country music. There's a depth of groove and sense of space not often heard in bluegrass today, a level of instrumental interplay and vocal blend uncommon in old-time, and an on-stage rapport that transcends all of this.

The Cinema Classic Halloween Film Series is sponsored by Lost Province Brewing Company and kicks off on Tuesday, September 27 with Hocus Pocus just days before the nationwide release of the movie’s first sequel. The original 1993 version is a fantasy comedy horror film that follows a villainous comedic trio of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy
Najimy), who are inadvertently resurrected by a virgin teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. The annual celebration of Halloween has helped make the film a cult classic.

All levels adults.
Discover the process of creating expressive and loose artwork in your choice of watercolor or acrylic media. Gain confidence in painting any subject- from landscapes to portraits and figures - capturing mood, atmosphere and feeling in a bold and impressionist style. Explore different techniques in painting and focus on color palette, values and composition. Discover how to use texture and basic principles in painting water, sky, ground, buildings, faces and figures. Create focus in your painting to captivate the viewer and learn how to keep your painting fresh and spontaneous. Learn loosening brushwork, elements of design, elements of light and shadow, the power of suggestion and finally painting how you see versus just copying a photograph. The focus will be on techniques, principles of perspective and good composition in creating dynamic artwork.
Lyudmila’s loose and demonstrative style will inspire you to take the water-based mediums to their full capacity. She will do 2 quick demos in watercolor and acrylic. The students may use their own photo references or choose from many dramatic images provided.
Learn how to “make your artwork interesting and engaging†bringing intrigue and life to your work. Starting with a preliminary composition with intentional brush strokes and handling of color, you’ll acquire valuable skills in how to interpret your photo reference without being literal. The workshop is a lot of fun and packed with valuable information.

Anytime you talk to any of Tommy Emmanuel’s fans, whether musicians or civilians, invariably they will speak of not one but two qualities that define his greatness. The first, predictably, is his extraordinary guitar playing. Considered by those in the know to be among this planet’s greatest guitarists, his playing is simply miraculous, as it would take three musicians, or more, to do what Tommy does solo.
