Join us for the highly anticipated premiere of "Keeping the High Watch" at the prestigious Henry W. Coil Sr. and Alice Edna Coil School for the Arts in Riverside, CA. This remarkable event is organized by the Friends of Mount Rubidoux, a dedicated group committed to celebrating the mountain's rich history. In their pursuit to educate the community, they have enlisted the talents of renowned videographer Tim Roche to create two captivating documentary films. One of these films, lasting twenty minutes, has been specifically designed for school-age students, and will be distributed to local schools. The longer, one-hour documentary will make its grand debut on September 24, 2023, at 2:00 PM. Located at 3890 University Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501, this premiere is an unmissable opportunity to explore the profound connection between the mountain and its people. Admission to this extraordinary event is completely free, making it accessible for all who wish to attend. Mark your calendars and experience the magic of "Keeping the High Watch" in the heart of Riverside.

Join Van Zaig Gallery on Friday, March 8 from 4 to 7 pm to celebrate International Women's Day and the opening of a group exhibition entitled Medusa: The Power of Women in Art, featuring works by Cheryl Barnett, Andrée B. Carter, Sandra R. Escobar, Shelley Heffler, Adrienne Kinsella, Susan Van Zaig, and Gina Word. Enjoy refreshments and a special performance by singer/songwriter Angie Bruyere. Donations will be collected for Women for Women International.

The exhibition reflects on the desert's deep time evolutions reframing ideas and wilderness and exploring themes of Indigenous futurism, design activism, colonial power asymmetries, the impress of humanity on the land and the role of emerging technologies in our contemporary society.
