Notes from the 2012 Mill Valley Fill Festival where the film debuted.
Film Note Writer: Lily Buchanan
Starring: John Goddard, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Sammy Hagar, Bob Weir, Ry Cooder, Maria Muldaur, Bettye Lavette, Little Jimmy Scott, Dan Hicks, Pops Staples, David Grisman, Jerry Garcia, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Huey Lewis, Carla Thomas, Collins Kids, Frankie Ford
ROCK’N’SOUL • Mill Valley’s legendary Village Music—for many, the world’s greatest record store—is the center of this cinematic celebration by filmmakers Gillian Grisman (Grateful Dawg, MVFF 2000) and brother Monroe, who lovingly capture the extraordinary story of a unique store, its genius of an owner and their place in the annals of popular music culture. Calling Village Music a record store is like calling Mount Everest a hill; it was a University of American Music, the go-to shop for discoveries, rarities and inspiration for famous and not-so-famous patrons alike, with owner John Goddard its dean and ringmaster. The film chronicles Village Music’s final six months while interweaving its vibrant past, and includes more than 30 artists—from B.B. King to Bonnie Raitt, the Collins Kids to DJ Shadow—across candid interviews, rare archival performances, exclusive in-store appearances and all-star tribute concerts. It’s an apt, openhearted and goose-bump–inducing way to mark the end of a rousing era.

Eco Art! Painted Nature Collage w/ AMANDA ROSE HOPKINS
2023-03-20 10:00 - 14:30 | O’Hanlon Center for the Arts
Using the earth as the foundation of artistic inspiration
2-week series – Mondays March 20 and 27
10:00 am – 2:30 pm each Monday with 1/2 hour lunch break.
$210 or $168 for OHCA Members
Materials Fee:$30 paid to instructor 1st day – includes paints, canvas, glues and natural materials.

Using the earth and its elements as the foundation of artistic inspiration, texture and form you can tap into my vast collections of leaves, soils, lichens and more and learn some of my trade secrets.
These techniques of adhering natural materials, layering them, priming, painting and sealing them are very unique. We will be using various textures of soil, different types of leaves and dried flowers as well as lichens to create eco inspired compositions that draw on the glorious perfection of natural forms and the sensuous textures that can be found in nature.
In Part 2 of this two part workshop series participants will seal, prime and paint the textured surface they created in the previous workshop. Students will receive guidance on how to highlight the patterns and forms.
Maximum 8 participants.
Please bring lunch.

ABOUT AMANDA
My early years were spent in rural Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. While she was pregnant and living in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, as an offering my mother planted 3,000 roses, inspiring the name Amanda Rose. Living in this three dimensional mandala where colorful Tibetan banners blew in the wind and the light glinted on the gold leafed stupa, cultivated a love of beauty and an openness to unseen realms.
In college, at UC Santa Cruz, I studied Fine Art and formed special kinships with painter Melissa Gwynn and performance artist Elizabeth Stephens. Gwynn taught me the beauty of experimentation and obsession in art. Stephens invited me to exhibit with her and Annie Sprinkle in their Eco-Sexual Symposium, where we committed to being lovers to the earth.
During my senior year and after graduation I fell in love with the work of Helen and Newton Harrison, amazingly they were local professors and artists and needed an artists assistant. The mother and father of the environmental art movement were writing a retrospective of their work which I helped to transcribe. In the fall of 2013 I received the opportunity to travel to Sarnath, India and assist in painting a mural inside the main hall of the Institute under artists Kaveri and TJ Singh as well as assisting with installing three dimensional epoxy resin cast and gold leafed Tibetan script across the outer walls of the Sarnath International Nyingma Institute.
In the past few years I found my tribe in Sonoma County and the North Bay Area while exhibiting at the 2019 and 2022 and 2022 Bioneers Conferences and participating in exhibits at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts, Riley Street Art Supply and Sebastopol Center for the Arts.

Monoprinting w/ CANDIS COUSINS
2023-03-19 10:00 - 15:00 | O’Hanlon Center for the Arts
WE ARE NOW OFFERING THIS WORKSHOP TWICE A MONTH
Monoprinting is a playful, exploratory process requiring neither a press nor a background in art

On a plate of gel or plexiglass, images are made with paint, rollers, sponges, netting, leaves or anything else which might create an interesting pattern. The focus is not upon the finished work but upon the experience of discovery and making art.
In the workshop, after two or three hours, the group gathers to discuss what has been created. The purpose of the discussion is to help each person recognize the beauty in their work. Or, in the words of Ann O’Hanlon, our purpose is “to look upon a seemingly random work of our own with interest” and with “the same fulfillment… experienced on an unknown wilderness trail.”
Sundays, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
$55, $44 OHCA members,
$10 materials fee paid to instructor at day of class
8 people MAX (online registration closes at 3:00pm the prior Friday)
Participants must be fully vaccinated and wear masks.
ART DETAIL: JANET GREENWOOD

About Candis Cousins
Candis Cousins first came to the Center in 1972. Ann O’Hanlon was alive and at that time the Center was called ‘Sight and Insight.’ On Candis’ first day, Ann’s suggestion for working was this: “Every decision you make, try to make the wrong decision.”
In 2002, Candis returned to OHCA to join the mono printing group led by Cayen Robertson and Karen Cox. In her own work, Candis tries to keep moving forward without a plan, just to see what comes.

Abstract: Energy & Color w/ PELLER MARION
2023-03-14 12:30 - 16:30
We will provide a supportive artistic experience that allows you to explore art materials and create colorful, abstract work while getting back into the art processes you love.
Abstract art is art that does not represent an accurate depiction of visual reality, communicating instead through lines, shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks. Together we will create our own abstractions using various media such as tempera, acrylic paint, oil sticks, Craypas and found images.
Abstraction gives artists a new level of freedom to experiment with artistic methods and allows artists to reshape the traditional meaning of what “art” is.
Led by Dr. Peller Marion. Consulting psychologist, author, artist.
