“In the last of 5 sold-out performances, the eight member group put on an exuberant, classy and wide-ranging display of original tunes and fresh arrangements of traditional acoustic music that delighted the crowd with humor and musicianship.”

Wilsonville Festival of Arts 2011
Books Saturday Headliner Band

This year, through the generous sponsorship of Fred Meyer, the Wilsonville Festival of Arts is able to present Trail Band, a Marv Ross Production, as its Saturday, June 4th. performance headliner. Rindy & Marv Ross are the singer/songwriter duo that founded Seafood Mama, Quarterflash, and The Trail Band.  

Oregon natives, they are best known for their 5 top-forty songs with Quarterflash including their #1 hit, Harden My Heart.  

After a decade in the eighties of gold and platinum records and extensive touring with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, and Jefferson Starship, the Rosses moved back to Oregon and created The Trail Band - a brass and string early Americana band that has released 10 CDs and has toured internationally including a rare two-week series of appearances in North Korea.  

Marv & Rindy also co-created the hit Artist Rep musical, 'The Ghosts of Celilo' with Native American artists Thomas Morning Owl and Chenoa Egawa, garnering 8 Portland Area Musical Theatre Awards.  

In 2009, they released "Goodbye Uncle Buzz" their first duet CD.

The Rosses were inducted into The Oregon Music Hall of Fame and received the Alumni Award of Excellence from Western Oregon University.

 

 

 

Call for Volunteers

The Wilsonville Festival of Arts is now an officially sanctioned event for the Portland Rose Festival. The designation brings the annual community festival some exciting new opportunities. One of them is a chance to tell Rose Festival visitors about the Festival of Arts, just down the freeway in Wilsonville.

To get the word out, volunteers are needed to staff the booth at the Rose Festival City Fair in Portland on Memorial Weekend, May 27 – 30.

There are many other jobs, large and small, for community supporters who want to help stage this unique and popular event which celebrates the arts – visual, dramatic, musical and literary. Everyone can contribute to the success envisioned for 2011 and is invited to be part of the inspiration, planning and final production of the annual Wilsonville Festival  of Arts 2011, June 4 and 5.

Beauty & the Bridge:  The I-5 Connection

Wilsonville schools and students will be involved in the design, creation, and development of the student focused public art project. 

(excerpt from SMART website:)

Wilsonville Road is the key to linking travel east and west in our community, and The Wilsonville Road Interchange Enhancement Project is the key ingredient for investing in a safe, secure, and pleasant pedestrian and bicycle connection under I-5.

The City of Wilsonville and the Oregon Department of Transportation are re-designing and improving the I-5 interchange on Wilsonville Road.

The goals are to connect Wilsonville with:

  • A safe east/west bicycle and pedestrian crossing under I-5
  • An inviting, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing environment to improve mobility and encourage bicycling and walking
  • A school-based process that involves students in design, creation, and production of public art along the underpass walls

 

Wilsonville students will have the opportunity to craft a truly local work of art that connects them not only today to a unique civic and educational experience but also to Wilsonville for years to come.

Public Art Sculpture Returns to Wilsonville

The first of eight new public art sculptures was put in place at Town Center Park on January 7th.  The life-sized horse sculpture was created by local artist Jesse Swickard. 

The Arts and Culture Alliance of Wilsonville, a core group of volunteers, has formed the new committee not only to bring back the public sculptures through new funding sources, but to revitalize art, culture and historical projects.  

“We are pleased to announce that the first of eight public sculptures is in place,” said ACAW steering committee member David DeHart, in an email to the group’s supporters. He also stood by on the chilly January morning as Swickard carefully rolled the horse sculpture into place. A cold rain pelted down, but it couldn’t diminish DeHart’s smile.

The sculpture, nicknamed 'Willie', is hosted by the Wilsonville Chamber of Commerce and Oregon Horse Country and remain as an installation for one year.

Executive Director revisits 2007 honor at 'Heart of Gold:  10-Year Reunion'

Wilsonville Arts & Culture Council Executive Director, Theonie Gilmore, had a lot of fun at the Rotary's 'Heart of Gold' Ten Year Reunion dinner.   Theonie won the 2007 'First Citizen' award. 

...     "Theonie, a music educator, moved to Wilsonville in 1973 and has been a strong advocate for the arts ever since. She founded the Wilsonville Arts and  Culture Council which produces the yearly Wilsonville Festival of Arts. She has also spearheaded the creation of oral history tapes and placement of historic murals in the Wilsonville Clackamas County Visitor Center."...

 The Heart of Gold dinner is the Rotary’s primary fund-raising event and previous winners have been invited to attend and take another bow.  Attire this year is recommended as “reunion, prom or vintage wear.”

The Wilsonville Theater Company

Up Next"  "Cinderella's Dream"
                                                                                 Performances:   April 29th & 30th and May 6th & 7th. 

Beauty may only be skin deep, but it's ugly that hits the funny  bone!  While Cinderella and her prince play it straight, her stepmother, the Archduke, and the stepsisters are wacky comical. A combination of slapstick, sly asides, and pratfalls make this a great stage comedy. The fairy godmother works behind the scenes with fairy dust and funny lines to help Cinderella's dreams come true. Lots of laughs. Hilarious situations, witty lines and zany characterizations make this full-length play memorable entertainment for all ages. 

Performances will be held at:  Frogpond Grange

Joke Du Jour

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre. However, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks away when his Econoline van ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied:-"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."
