Mayme Kratz: Shadow & Substance
Gilman ContemporaryMayme Kratz is a mixed media artist whose work suspends found natural objects in resin. An observant investigator of her surroundings, Kratz collects these objects while hiking, camping, and even walking by the railway behind her studio. From native grasses to animal bones, her delicate handling of fragile materials create formal designs that elude to the cosmos. Materiality is both heightened and diminished as the earthen matter transforms into a macro ecosystem of its own.

Lubeck captured images of the iconic McGowan Peak in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho over a nine-hour period on the day before summer this year. “My goal was to capture McGowan and its surroundings: during the fading light of sunset, the height of the night sky under the Milky Way and in the golden glow of sunrise”, says Lubeck. “The effort required a fair amount of planning, perseverance, and luck.” Lubeck’s research and experience suggested that given the sun’s angles, McGowan is primed for a superb sunrise and sunset on the days just before, during, and after the Summer Solstice. In 2023, ...

Hemingway Distinguished Lecture: LUIS ALBERTO URREA
The Community LibraryThe annual Hemingway Distinguished Lecture is presented each July, honoring the month of Ernest Hemingway’s birth and death. The event celebrates the power of words and the creative spirit in a landscape that Hemingway loved. This year, The Community Library welcomes LUIS ALBERTO URREA: hailed by NPR as a “literary badass” and a “master storyteller with a rock and roll heart,” Urrea is a prolific and acclaimed writer who uses his dual-culture life experiences to explore greater themes of love, loss and triumph. A 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist for nonfiction and member of the Latino Literature Hall of Fame, Urrea is the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of 17 books, including "Good Night, Irene" (2023), "The House of Broken Angels" (2018), "Into the Beautiful North" (2009), "The Hummingbird’s Daughter" (2005), and "The Devil’s Highway" (2004). Born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and American mother, Urrea is most recognized as a border writer, though he says, “I am more interested in bridges, not borders.” Urrea attended the University of California at San Diego, earning an undergraduate degree in writing, and did his graduate studies at the University of Colorado-Boulder. After serving as a relief worker in Tijuana and a film ...
