Each performer is a master on their individualinstruments and together their synergy is astounding. They are also three of the nicest and easy to work with artists that I have encountered. I highly recommend Trio Globo to anyone interested in presenting a truly innovative performance of the highest quality.”Stuart Bigley,Executive Director, Unison Arts Center, NY

Artists in actionARtIStS pUt theIR thOUghtS ANd dReAmS INtO ActIONBy Michael StrandSalina Journal

As you’re wandering about the Smoky Hill River Festi-val, going from stage to stage or heading back for another cheesecake on a stick, you might find yourself sur-rounded by a work of art.

Several art installations will be scattered throughout Oak-dale Park during the festival, encouraging people to stop, look and ponder.

Salina artist Ann Arke-bauer, along with her sons Chris and Adam, are creating “Catch You on the Flip Side,” a display of photos from festi-vals past.

Arkebauer said she’s recy-cling some of the hardware from a work called “Dimen-sionality,” which has been at the past three river festivals.

The five large rotating pan-els will be filled with photos the Arkebauers collected from the Arts and Humanities Com-mission’s archives of previous years’ festivals.

“Some of them are from the early years, ’88 and ’89, plus some digital stuff from recent years,” Ann Arkebauer said. “As you approach them from 10 feet away, you’ll be drawn in to look at the detail.”

In looking at the photos, she said, “It’s fun to see how fash-ion and hair have changed — and how much the festival has grown. It just blew my mind.”

The Arkebauers’ work will be just inside the park, near the bridge closest to the Bicen-tennial Center.

On the opposite end of the festival, on the Fourth Street bridge, by the Salina Journal, Pennsylvania artist Bill God-frey is planning a “Bridge of Dreams.”

“If you walk through, it will be a sort of simu-

lated dream expe-rience,” Godfrey

said. “You’ll see cloud

shapes, then some dream images, universal images, such as being chased, falling, love, a key that will unlock something.”

“You can experience it from the outside, but will really dis-cover it on the inside,” he said. “I’m hoping it will be pretty cool.”

Godfrey, whose banner art has surrounded the ice skating rink during the festival for the past two years, is also working with Lucas artist Erika Nelson on a work called “I See You, You See Me,” to be installed on the fence surrounding the ten-nis courts near the center of the park.

The two have never met in person, Godfrey said, drawing a parallel between the piece they’re planning to create and the process of creating it.

“It’s about what’s on the surface, what’s behind the sur-face, what’s revealed — kind of the story of us meeting,” he said. “It’s been a back-and-forth, back-and-forth process,

sending e-mails to each other. I’m looking forward to meet-ing face to face.”

Their combined work will be “a mesh of our two styles,” he said, combining his nylon banners with Nelson’s colored cups stuck into the fence.

Nelson did a similar piece last year — the giant slices of bacon gracing the tennis court fence.

Working with another artist has been fun, she said, though exactly what it will look like remains to be seen.

“I will be responding to the fence and to his work when I’m putting mine up,” she said. “The more we chatted, the more it seemed to gel.”

He said he dreams of one day supporting himself by travel-ing to craft shows and fairs.

mix of visual artsHarrison and Coleman

— new artists to the festival — and Krob — a local favorite — represent the mix that makes the visual arts areas of the festival so appealing each year, said Karla Prickett, visual arts coordinator and community art and design project coordi-nator for the Salina Arts and Humanities Commission.

Typically, she said, 30 to 35 percent of the exhibitors in the Fine Arts Show, Four Rivers Craft Market and dem-onstration area are new to the festival.

“The fact that our show has such a really good reputation in the artists’ world brings in new applications every year,” she said. “Our show compares well or exceeds the quality of many major shows in the country.”

In addition to the eight artisans in the demonstra-tion area, 93 artists from 26 states will exhibit a variety of jewelry, ceramics, fiber, mixed media, painting, draw-ing, glass, metal, graphics and printmaking, sculpture, photography and wood pieces in the Fine Arts Show from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

In the Four Rivers area, 53 exhibitors from 25 states will show original handmade works of folk art, traditional and contemporary crafts from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

persuading the juryBoth the fine arts and crafts

areas are professionally jurored months before the festival begins. Jurors also visit booths during the festival and pick the artists who will receive various awards.

Between November and February, artists and crafters apply by submitting slides of five examples of their works

and one of their booths. Jurors meet and score their applications.

Prickett said she takes the jurors’ scores and puts the show together incorporating

the highest scored applicants from a variety of media and expressions within each cat-egory of artwork.

“It takes several months to go from A to Z,” she said.

Sydney Lynch, a jeweler and designer from Lincoln, Neb., said she helped score submissions for this year’s Fine Arts Show. She said she has never exhibited at the festival because she doesn’t do outdoor shows, but this is the second time she has served as a juror.

“It’s a lot of fun to see the range of work people are producing,” she said. “It’s interesting to be visually bombarded with hundreds of images.”

Lynch said she was impressed with the festival when she came last time.

“I thought it was really nice — a high quality show in a lovely setting,” she said.

to design this year’s festival T-shirt. The shirt is planned to be the first in a series of three festival T-shirts he will design.

“I have a big painting of him hanging above my bed,” he said. “A lot of people have a land-scape there. I have ‘Fish Pants.’ My wife is really tolerant.”

Krob switched to creating in papier mâché after a 2007 back injury made working with 50 to 70 tons of sand to make a giant sculpture at the festival every year too taxing.

He said he hopes that when people look at his moon dogs, zebras and other creatures it makes them smile.

“My work doesn’t require deep thought,” he said. “It is what it is.”

red-hot sheets of metalAnother Salina artisan will

be making his first appearance at the festival this year in the demonstration area. Travis Coleman will be sinking red-hot sheets of metal into a tree stump and pounding them into the shape of bowls.

“It’s modern blacksmithing, a new artistic version of old-school blacksmithing,” Cole-man said.

Coleman works with silver, copper, steel and other metals to craft platters and bowls.

He said he first learned the techniques in high school while working on a science fair project and has since earned his bachelor’s degree in metal-smithing and jewelry from

Kansas State University and attended blacksmithing camp in Maine.

Coleman, a Kansas State University at Salina student and full-time Salina School District employee, said his metalsmithing is “an expen-sive hobby.”

Harrison said he learned the time-consuming process of stone-on-stone inlay from his mentors, famous father and son artists Preston and Jesse Monogye. He said he is “thankful for the art that I have learned from them.”

Harrison said his jewelry is “very colorful, and each piece tells a story.” It is made out of stone and shells gathered or quarried from around the world. Among the natural materials he works with are turquoise, jet, verasite, ala-baster, malachite, coral, white clamshell and spiny oyster shell.

“I have fun doing this,” he said. “It’s very challenging, and when you are very cre-ative you’re always wanting to create more things that are different and new.”

Whimsical creatures Salinan Curt Krob will

also be return-ing to the demonstration area at this year’s festival with more of his whimsi-cal papier mâché creatures, as well as several paintings.

Krob said his cartoony creations usually start out as a doodle on paper.

“I have so many I want to do that I’m thinking

of a new one as I’m work-ing on another one,” he said.

Krob thought up “Fish Pants,” a big-lipped fish wearing polka-dotted swimming trunks, when he was invited

Albuquerque artist Jim “Jimmie” Harrison said he has demonstrated the process of making his unique stone-on-stone inlaid jewelry in Dubai but never before at the Smoky Hill River Festival.

His work has been featured in an ad in Cosmopolitan magazine but never before in the Salina Journal.

He is looking forward to a new adventure.

“I like to go out there and see the world,” Harrison said.

Harrison will soon be pack-ing his stone polishing equip-ment, grinders, cutters, rough stones and many finished pieces of jewelry for his trip to a demon-stration booth at the river festival. He also plans to find room in his

car for his golf clubs.Harrison, who won the U.S.

Native American Open in 1986, said he still “has a lot of fun play-ing.”

Many of Harrison’s works incorporate tra-ditional Navajo and Hopi reli-gious symbols but feature a more contem-porary design.

He began making jewelry pro-fessionally full time in 1980. The full-blooded Navajo, who studied art in Paris, combines both his traditional roots and modern influences in his design work.

“In Albuquerque, there are a lot of people who work with stone, but you won’t find many who do intricate inlay,” he said. “It requires a lot of patience. A golfer like me has a lot of patience.”

From “Tiger Lily” to “Snapdragon,” these sculptures intrigue and delight.

Gypsum sculptor Don Osborn created a series of large aquatic plantlike forms constructed from branches and cuttings that reference and contrast the regional Kansas landscape.

Eco-friendly sculptures made of natural and recyclable materials were created by sculpture students at McPherson College. It was a challenge to create work that would eventually disappear.

“Eyes are the windows to the soul” ... how do we see each other? Erika Nelson, of Lucas, and Bill Godfrey, of Tarentum, Pa., team up for this installation.

Weathervanes created by Elizabeth Stevenson, of Wichita, celebrate Salina’s cultural organizations. Look up from the red arrows throughout the festival. Each piece indicates the direction and distance from its location to the actual home of the organization.

Ann Arkebauer, of Salina, challenges viewers to determine background and foreground on canvases with intersecting, angular and radiating lines.

Artist Colin Benson, of Denver, a Salina native, brings a new design and color to the festival landscape. Relax and enjoy.

from page 7

On the side, Mattea sang on demo records produced by fledgling Nashville songwrit-ers. One day, she accompa-nied a songwriter friend to a major Nashville record label that had just lost its female demo singer. After listening to Mattea’s demo recordings, label executives hired her as a singer. She signed her own recording contract in 1983.

“I signed on my 24th birth-day, five years to the day since I rolled into town,” she said.

Mattea’s first two albums didn’t create much attention. Her third album, 1986’s “Walk the Way the Wind Blows,” was her real breakthrough, thanks to her cover version of Nancy Griffith’s “Love at the Five and Dime” which became a major hit on the country charts.

From there, it was one chart-topping hit after another, culminating in a 1990 Grammy Award for Best

Female Country Vocal for the song “Where’ve You Been.” Mattea won another Grammy in 1993 for “Good News,” a gospel-flavored Christmas album.

Her latest album is 2008’s “Coal,” a tribute to coal min-ers that took Mattea back to her West Virginia Appala-chian folk-bluegrass roots.

Mattea and her band play about 60 concert dates a year, and she said she’s just as passionate and enthusiastic about performing as she was nearly 30 years ago.

“The best musical experi-ences are when people feel something,” she said. “I want to take them on a journey — give them one good belly laugh and then leave them with a tear in their eye. If I can get people to feel that range of emotion, I know I’ve done my job.”

McClinton, acclaimed as one of the finest harmonica play-ers in the world, will perform at 8:30 p.m. Saturday on the Eric Stein Stage. A 50-year veteran of the music indus-try, McClinton first hit the national music charts in 1962 when he played harmonica on Bruce Channel’s classic song “Hey! Baby!”

While in England, McClin-ton met John Lennon of The Beatles and showed him how to improve his harmonica technique, which Lennon soon

utilized on The Beatles’ first major recording, “Love Me Do.”

Opening for McClinton will be the popular North Texas band Mingo Fishtrap, a pre-vious festival favorite whose

repertoire includes a high-energy mix of blues, soul, rock and funk.

Trio globo and symphonyThe Salina Symphony will

perform with Trio Globo, a

world music-jazz trio that includes critically acclaimed cellist Eugene Friesen, virtuoso harmonica player and pianist How-ard Levy, and percus-sionist and frame-drum player Glen Velez. The

performance at 6:15 p.m. Friday on the Eric Stein stage will fea-ture original music composed by Friesen and Levy with selec-tions by the Salina Symphony.

B luegrass, to Kathy Mat-tea, is the most demo-cratic form of music.

“It’s very simple — if you know C, D and G, you can jump in and play along,” she said. “I love how it creates community.”

Mattea has spent nearly 30 years as a country music and bluegrass musician. She has recorded 17 albums and has had more than 30 hit singles on the country music charts.

Her hit songs include “Eigh-teen Wheels and a Dozen Roses,” “Love at the Five and Dime,” “Goin’ Gone,” “Come From the Heart,” “Where’ve You Been” and “Burnin’ Old Memories.”

Mattea will perform at the Smoky Hill River Festival at 8:30 p.m. Friday on the Eric Stein Stage in Oakdale Park.

Reflecting on her long career, Mattea said she’s been very fortunate to maintain a loyal fan base that has stuck with her through three decades of changing musical tastes.

“I’ve tried to stay alive and present in my own music, and people really respond to that,” she said. “I’m not going through the motions. I’m still passionate about what I do.”

Coal-mining familyBorn in 1959, Mattea grew up

in West Virginia, the daughter and granddaughter of coal miners. She admitted she was the “whiz kid” of her family, graduating from high school at age 16. By that time, she had learned to play the guitar and had fallen in love with the blue-grass and Appalachian music of her homeland.

Mattea performed in church folk groups and in school choirs before graduating from high school. While attending college at West Virginia Uni-versity, she discovered a group of fellow musicians as pas-

sionate about making music as she was.

In 1976, Mattea joined the bluegrass band Pennsboro. Two years later, she dropped out of college to move to Nashville.

“One of my band members was moving there to be a song-writer, so I thought I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t go, too,” she said. “I was just 19 when I called my parents and told them I was dropping out of college. I was an engineer-ing major, so they weren’t happy.”

Have to start somewhereMattea’s first job in Nash-

ville was as a tour guide for the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I got to learn a lot,” she said. “I got a great foundation in how country music

developed.”

Kathy Mattea will perform at 8:30 p.m. Friday on the Eric Stein Stage in Oakdale Park.

“They know how the sys-tem works, and each band will get about 15 minutes. Some of these bands have been there since Day 1.”

While some of the people in the bands have played the festival since the beginning, others have been pupils of Hanson at his music shop. He taught many of them the basics of guitar playing.

Hanson also will get a chance to shred his axe with his 14-year-old-son, Taylor, the bassist for his group, Steve Hanson & Company.

Even though nearly half of the bands are the same each year, new groups looking to make a name for themselves get into the show.

Hanson said all of the bands have been selected for this year, but he also has back-up bands in case some-one cancels.

“We don’t allow dead

spots,” Hanson said. “We would like to get all bands in, but we can’t and get all styles of music in.”

The jam will feature sev-eral different types of music, from Christian hip-hop and rock to blues.

“The whole idea of the jam is the variety of music,” Hanson said. “People like this show because if you don’t like the band that is on now, just wait 12 minutes.”

Quarter-century of jamsThIS yeAR mARkS The 25Th ANNIveRSARy Of feSTIvAL JAmBy CHRIS HUNTERSalina Journal

A fter 24 years of rock-ing, the Festival Jam is still going strong, and Steve Hanson, of

S.M. Hanson Music, said the jam’s 25th anniversary Thurs-day will be extra special.

Sixteen bands will perform individual sets, leading up to the All-Star Jam, a finale made up of members from several bands chosen by Hanson who will play music with cheat sheets on stage.

“We will be playing some-thing really special that is really different,” Hanson said. “It is a song I chose, and we are hoping it will go very well.”

Hanson said he wouldn’t name the song he’s chosen for the finale but said it will feature more vocals than past finales.

For the cost of the River Fes-tival button, $10 in advance, people will be able to listen to 16 bands between 6 and 10 p.m.

Hanson said the four-hour program, with an average attendance of 11,000 to 13,000, has grown from 1,700 in 1985,

with people flooding the park to hear the music.

“My son and I came up with the idea as a way to showcase regional music,” Hanson said. “We originally had 24 bands in four hours, but it was a logisti-cal nightmare.”

Hanson said the jam ran until 11 p.m. at one time, but he felt it was too late and shortened it to the 16-band for-

mat after a few years.The bands come from as far

as Denver and Wichita, but the

majority of the groups are from Salina and Manhattan and have played the jam before.

“We like to have eight repeats and up to eight new bands,” Hanson said.

“We really want to reinforce the festival’s reputation as a regional event,” said Sharon Benson, festival coordinator. “We want to get artists out and about so people can get a taste of what they can see and do here. Their outreach locations, with the exception of Wichita, are very much our feeder popu-lation of people who come here to shop. We also are excited about going to Junction City to try to get more military person-nel over here.”

■ Lawrence muralist David Loewenstein will create a design to function as a back-drop for the Campbell Plaza stage in downtown Salina. The mural will metaphorically ref-erence art education in Salina. It also will incorporate detail of one of famed local archi-tect Charles Shaver’s art deco decorations, as well as refer-ence photos that were taken of Salina children and adults.

■ Sculptor Ed Pogue, of Lindsborg, will lead a demon-stration Saturday in downtown Salina. Area artists will also participate, making smaller molds, while Pogue creates a large-scale sculptural form from melted cast iron.

■ Artist Kenneth Huff, of Savannah, Ga., will create digital projection works to be featured in selected downtown windows during the week.

■ Wichita artist Elizabeth Stevenson will construct sculp-tures at selected locations in Salina to serve as visual mark-ers noting distances, directions and events. The sculptures, which she planned to create from May 31 through Monday, are to remain in place for a year.

■ A treasure hunt for a hand-crafted festival medallion began Tuesday. The medallion was hidden on public property, and clues to its location are being publicized daily in local media. The prize for finding the medallion: a festival weekend package that includes $1,500 cash and $1,500 in festival

gift certificates to spend in the Fine Art Show, Four Rivers Craft Show and craft demon-stration area, along with four festival admission buttons and other prizes.

■ To make the festival more accessible to families with needs, public donations to pay for admission buttons are being sought. The festival works with Salina service agencies to provide admission buttons to their clients. Give a dollar, or what you can, to give the gift of the festival to those who might otherwise never experience it. Donations can be made by check (written out to Festival Families) and sent in care of the Smoky Hill River Festival, P.O. Box 2181, Salina, KS 67402-2181.

■ Pick up a free passport at any of the seven participating agencies, enjoy fun activities

and have the passport stamped at each location. By complet-ing the passport with all seven stamps (and leaving it at the last agency stamped), partici-pants will be mailed an invita-tion to a special pool party, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 29 at Salina’s new aquatic park, Kenwood Cove. Participants can pick up a passport and have it stamped, to start the process, during the festival at the festi-val information booth.

The other participating agencies include the Salina Art Center, Salina Community Theatre, Salina Public Library, Rolling Hills Wildlife Adven-ture, Smoky Hill Museum and Lakewood Discovery Center.

■ Reporter David Clouston can be reached at 822-1403 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Pre-festival activitieseveNtSbUILdexcItemeNtLeAdINgUptOtheRIveRFeStIvALBy DaviD Clouston Salina Journal

U gandan musician Kinobe and the band Soul Beat Africa have drawn

acclaim for their interpreta-tions of traditional African music.

As part of the pre-festival activities for the Smoky Hill River Festival, they’ll be shar-ing with Salinans lessons in African drumming, dancing and singing.

Pre-festival activities are plentiful, and they offer river festival fans experiences in a wide variety of artistic disci-plines during the week leading to the big weekend celebration.

Kinobe, pronounced “Chi-NO-be,” 27, began playing music at the age of 5. Five years later, he traveled to the Neth-erlands with a group of musi-cians for his first international performance. In the years that followed, Kinobe traveled the African continent, performing with some of the top figures in African roots music.

Ugandan music is a synthe-sis of song, dance, drumming, poetry and fable.

“We talk about who we are, the stories of the music we play and where it comes from,” Kinobe said, speaking recently by phone from North Carolina, where he was per-forming and doing workshops. “Our music is grounded in our roots but influenced in places we’ve visited and cultures we’ve seen around the world.”

Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa will be based at Quayle United Methodist Church, 725 Comanche, during festival week, where anyone want-ing to participate can go for workshops in choral music, dance and drumming. The workshops are scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday and 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday. The workshops will

culminate in a 10 a.m. June 13 “Celebration of the Spirit” performance on the Eric Stein Stage. Kinobe and Soul Beat Africa’s appearance is sup-ported with a grant from the Greater Salina Community Foundation.

Lots on tapFestival organizers have

planned a slew of other pre-festival activities.

n Annie Hickman and her husband, Allynn Gooen, will help children create and ani-mate bug costumes as part of a group of strolling performers during the festival. Anyone 8 years old and older who would like to perform in costume at the festival can join a work-shop from 10:30 a.m. to noon Thursday in the rehearsal room at the Salina Community Theatre, 303 E. Iron.

Hickman has used her talents as a trained dancer, together with a degree in sculpture, to create a niche as a dancer, designer and bas-

ket weaver. She has worked for Henson & Associates on “Sesame Street Live” and built costumes for Macy’s Thanks-giving Day Parade. The couple have toured with their novelty act, Bugs and Balloons, for more than 20 years.

n Trio Globo, a Grammy Award-winning trio, features musicians Eugene Friesen, Howard Levy and Glen Velez performing festival concerts and workshops in Wichita,

Lucas and Junction City as an outreach component of the river festival. They will also do concerts and workshops in Salina and rehearse with the Salina Symphony in prepara-tion for a special Friday collab-oration on the Eric Stein Stage.

Workshops with trioThe trio is scheduled to do

workshops at Central High School from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday. For the rest of the group’s performance schedule, visit www.riverfestival.com.

Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts are supporting the group’s trav-eling performances. It’s the first time a group such as Trio Globo has served as musical ambassador for the festival.
