5 Questions With Creatives

Brian Tan, Visual Artist

by Nicole Willis

Visual artist, Brian Tan, creates quirky and fun mixed media artworks. Tan took his childhood love of art into his studies, and now, into his career. Born and raised in New Jersey, the first-generation Filipino-American studied Fine Art at St. Michael’s College in Vermont. Tan then went on to live and work in Brooklyn, New York for five years until COVID-19 shut down the city. After the shutdown, Tan and his partner decided to move down South and join the Pensacola community. Since then, his work has been popping up in local galleries and markets throughout the city. You may have seen some of Tan’s work on display at the Easy Going Gallery or Gallery Night in downtown Pensacola. Tan regularly participates in local arts markets throughout the region and is an active member of the local arts community.

In the upcoming months, he will be exhibiting in group art shows in New Orleans and for an artist collective based out of NYC called Barangay Bois (@barangaybois). Check out more of Tan’s work online at btanart.com, or follow @btanart on Instagram.

How long have you been creating your art pieces and how did you first get into it? Was there something that inspired you to start working on these pieces?

I have been creating my art for about seven years. I first got into it when I was very young. I was always drawing everywhere that I went and my parents were supportive of my interest in art. I remember in 1st grade I would get into trouble for not paying attention in class because I would always be doodling. I specifically remember how my doodles would make my classmates laugh (especially my 1st grade crush!) and sometimes even my teachers. I believe these early responses to my drawings inspired me and made me realize this is what I want to do. My current work is a result of that same inspiration– getting people to laugh and enjoy my doodles.

What media do you work in and can you tell me a little bit more about your creative process?

I generally create mixed media monochrome drawings using marker, paint, pencil, or charcoal.

The style of my work lends itself to being an almost repetitive or pattern-like design, so the first 6 | DOWNTOWNCROWD.COM

decision in my process must be the size of the piece. Once I decide on the size, I block out the space and size of my “heads” on the surface in pencil. I then begin the work in paint or marker from the bottom up until all empty space has been filled. Additionally, I turn on some music. Music is a very important part of my creative process because it helps get me into a meditative rhythm while I draw.

Tell me about the different pieces you create. What are some of your most popular items, and what’s the biggest piece that you have created so far?

Round canvases in varying sizes are my most popular pieces. While I most commonly create canvas and paper pieces, I’m always willing to draw on any kind of found object. I have had people send me everything from clothes and shoes to mirrors and rollerblades to decorate with my art. I’ve really enjoyed drawing directly onto clothing but I am working on getting my designs screen printed. I am also into collages. I create collages by incorporating my artwork in with old fashion magazine clippings. I also collaborate with other artists by drawing directly onto their artwork

to create something new. The largest pieces that I have created so far are my hand-drawn bathroom murals. The first bathroom I did took me about three days to complete. I am always looking for any opportunity to work on largescale projects and my dream is to one day cover an entire building.

On your Instagram page, I see several different people drawing on your work. Can you tell me more about how you get other people involved with your art and what this process is like?

While living in Brooklyn, I worked with a group that hosted pop-up dinners along with live music around the city. I would create my artwork throughout the evening while guests would watch and recommend to me characters and illustrations to incorporate into the drawing.

On multiple occasions, I would hear somebody say, “I really wish I could color in your artwork!” So, one night, I brought a box of crayons and once I completed that night’s artwork, I invited attendees to color in the work to finish the piece. I’ve continued that practice till today and it has become an important part of my shows and market events. I believe by inviting viewers to collaborate with me on my

work not only creates a lasting impression, but also memorializes the community and environment that each piece was created in.

What would you tell others about the importance of art in your life and the importance of the growing arts scene in Pensacola?

I’m so appreciative of the people of Pensacola and its burgeoning art scene. I implore everyone, especially young people, to support local and living artists – whether visual artists, musicians or anything else related to the arts. I wholeheartedly believe it is vital for the

health of the community to have people supporting local venues, galleries, shows, etc., and growing the culture for future generations. Art has the power to create the change we wish to see in the world, to expand the mind, and to create opportunities for people to challenge themselves and their surroundings for the betterment of our world. Thank you to anyone who has supported my work and I’m excited to witness the evolution of Pensacola as a destination for the arts.

WHAT’S BREW ING AT THE RE X? The idea for the café stemmed from a long-time desire of Generation Church Lead Pastor, Roger Hirth, who wanted to share his love of coffee with the church community by providing them with a welcoming place to gather and visit throughout the week outside of regular church services. Hirth’s vision was finally brought to life this year with the opening of Generation Church’s nonprofit coffee shop, which was aptly named The Rex Café.

The Rex Café’s Store Manager, Lois Renaud, and Assistant Manager, Annie Gray, have been working tirelessly to execute Hirth’s vision for the café. Renaud, originally from France, sought to foster the culture found in European cafés through the interior design elements and authentic menu offerings. Renaud explained that European café culture focuses on highquality espresso and a relaxed atmosphere, whereas American cafés usually focus on large and sugary drinks that can be taken on the go.

If you’ve ever taken a stroll through Downtown Pensacola, you’ve likely noticed the bright red and yellow hues adorning the marquee outside the historic Rex Theatre on North Palafox Street. Tucked away inside the Art Deco-style building, which is also home to Generation Church, is downtown’s newest coffee shop—The Rex Café.

“I was shocked when I was served a 20 or 24-ounce drink at a café. In America, people want big portions and drinks on the go, it’s just not like that in Europe,” Renaud said.

Renaud and Gray want to deliver authentic European-style beverages and provide customers with a more relaxing experience instead of just rushing in and out of the door.

The Rex Café’s menu is reminiscent of what you would find when walking into a French or Italian café, prioritizing small drinks that invite customers to sit, relax, enjoy the space and sip on their coffee.

“About 80 percent of our menu consists of espressobased drinks,” Renaud said. “We put a lot of emphasis on people experiencing high-quality coffee.”

Among the espresso-based drinks are lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and cortados. The Rex Café will

also be serving up two of their signature lattes—a sweet and floral honey lavender latte and a buttery popcorn latte, which was specifically designed with the idea of the drink being served in a theatre. Apart from espresso-based drinks, The Rex Café also offers cold brew, nitro cold brew, assorted teas and regular drip coffee.

The menu also features a small assortment of pastries, such as butter or almond croissants from Craft Bakery and doughnuts by Le Dough. The café management team even worked with Le Dough to have them craft a custom doughnut for the café using their coffee to create a special vegan coffee doughnut.

When it came to selecting which local bakeries to collaborate with, Gray explained that it all came down to quality. ”We wanted to find local businesses that match our goals and aesthetics that can also provide

down and stay for a while inside the café.

the quality and the level of excellence that we’re trying to deliver.”

The cafe’s chic interior features design elements specifically selected to provide the look and feel of a relaxed European-style cafe. The design features a well-balanced mix of natural materials and modern decorative elements, giving the space a bright, open and airy feel, with plenty of natural wood, white marble countertops, clusters of seating arrangements and bright pops of color.

Some of the original architectural elements from the old theatre were also preserved and incorporated into the overall design.

Adorning the exposed brick walls are decorative art pieces and vintage film posters that pay homage to the theatre, while also providing a contemporary feel.

Gray and Renaud hope that the café’s welcoming design will promote the European concept of having customers sit

“Our little motto is from sip to soul–allowing your soul to rest by coming here, taking that first sip and experiencing a calming moment,” Gray said.

The café had its soft opening on April 14 and its grand opening on June 11. The grand opening was a few months later because Gray and Renaud wanted to make sure things were perfect. “We wanted to perfect the aesthetics, interior design, and the drinks. We also spent time training our staff and now have a great staff who are doing fabulous,” Gray explained.

One of Pensacola’s most iconic landmarks that once housed a furniture store, concert venue, and movie theater is now the proud home to The Rex Café. The Rex Café is located in the front lobby of The Rex Theatre at 18 N Palafox St. in downtown Pensacola and is open Tuesday–Thursday from 8 am to 12 pm and Friday–Saturday from 8 am to 2 pm.

AMERICA’S 1ST SETTLEMENT TRAIL Courtesy of Visit Pensacola

T

he America’s First Settlement Trail (A1S Trail) is a three-mile marked path through downtown Pensacola and the Pensacola Historic District. Inspired by a trip to Boston, local Realtor Michael Carro

formed The A1S Trail Foundation and then set to work forming partnerships with the City of Pensacola and Visit Pensacola to put his vision into action. The trail was created with the goal of offering new opportunities for residents and visitors to explore Pensacola’s rich history.

The first phase of the A1S Trail included the completion of a 3-mile painted walking path through the Pensacola Historic District, and placement of temporary markers with QR codes that display information about our history and landmarks.

Future phases will include installation of benches, bronze plaques and a continuous brick trail in place of the current burgundy line.

The A1S Trail consists of twenty stops and over seventy points of interest, with history dating back as early as 1756 when the Spanish built Fort San Miguel in what is now downtown Pensacola. The A1S Trail begins with marker 1 at Plaza Ferdinand and ends with marker 20 at 223 South Palafox, the 1887 Customs House that now houses Artel Gallery.

Visitors to the trail can tour over 260 years of history and learn the fascinating story of how Pensacola developed into the city it is today.

“While the story is a creatively imagined meeting of these women and takes place almost 230 years ago, many of the issues remain relevant today. It is a play that will make you laugh, think and feel,” Kellog said.

BY DARIEN HA

The Cincinnati Enquirer called it “A sassy, holdon-to-your-seats theatrical adventure...wonderfully wild and raucous,” and for the first time in Pensacola, The Gordon Community Art Center and PenArts will present The Revolutionists.

The comedic play is a revolutionary dream-fugue based on a fictional imagining of three historical figures coming together.. Original playwright, Lauren Gunderson, is said to be the most popular and prolific American playwright today. Set in 1793 amid the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, this comedic yet moving tale, follows a quartet of women who historically existed at the same time and place but never actually met as they fight for equality, justice and their rightful place in history.

The play blends the stories of four infamous women, three of whom are historical figures: Olympe de Gouges, a playwright; Charlotte Corday, the assassin of Jean Paul Marat; and Marie Antionette, the infamously dethroned queen. The fourth woman is a compilation of the strong women in Saint Domingue who fought against racism and gender inequality.

Owner of The Gordon Community Art Center and PenArts Artistic Director, Christine Kellog, will direct this Pensacola premiere and performances will be held July 21 to 24 at The Gordon Community Art Center in downtown Pensacola.

14 | DOWNTOWNCROWD.COM

In 2017, Kellog and a group of local creatives established the nonprofit organization PenArts as a way to help bring the local community together.

In 2020, PenArts officially moved to its location at The Gordon where they continue to host their programs and mainstage productions. PenArts members also assist with managing the facility so that other members of the community can use it to host classes and performances.

Since its inception, PenArts has produced eight professionallystaged production premiers in Pensacola. This small nonprofit features local talent, pays all actors and creative teams and has a large and active community outreach program.

“Now, in its new home at The Gordon Community Arts Center in the Historic Belmont-DeVilliers District, PenArts truly uses the arts to help bring the community together with open mics, artist mingles, afternoon jazz concerts, dance classes, community gatherings and many other classes and productions every month,” Kellog said.

ola native currently studying at the University of Alabama) are joining us,” Kellog said.

Additionally, The Revolutionists will feature the work of sound designer and PenArts Music Director, Tom Baroco (Director of Music at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart); Costume Designer, Kristen Taylor (graduate of UWF); Assistant to the Director, Bethany Elswick (MFA student at Regents University); and Social Media Content Director, Jenna Smith (UWF senior).

“We are grateful to the theater department at UWF for their help with this production,” Kellog said.

WHILE THE STORY IS A CREATIVELY IMAGINED MEETING OF THESE WOMEN AND TAKES PLACE ALMOST 230 YEARS AGO, MANY OF THE ISSUES REMAIN RELEVANT TODAY. IT IS A PLAY THAT WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH, THINK AND FEEL.

The PenArts production of The Revolutionists will feature a younger cast than the cast of the original show, which was originally produced and performed at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. As the production is truly an ensemble show, the lead actors in order of appearance are Keeley Morgan, Klarissa Moore, Harper Garcia and Carissa Ferguson.

“It is a talented group of young women, and three of them are appearing with PenArts for the first time.

Harper Garcia was last seen in the PenArts production of I AND YOU. They all have extensive performing resumes, and we are thrilled that Keeley Morgan (a UWF student), Klarissa Moore (new to Pensacola from Oklahoma) and Carissa Ferguson (a Pensac-

Keeley Morgan will be performing with PenArts for the first time in her role as Olympe de Gouges, who was a feminist playwright and activist for abolition and women’s rights during revolutionary France.

“She is incredibly nerdy and fun, but at the same time desperately wants to make an impact on the world and be remembered. Her character is so entertaining and interesting to watch because we get to see the human side of an important historical figure that most people have only ever read about if they have even heard of her at all. I am so excited to share her quirky character with everyone and let people learn a little more about French playwright Olympe de Gouges,” Morgan explained.

According to Kellog, audience members can expect witty dialogue in an anachronistic play. Although the production is set in 1793, some of the banter is straight out of the 21st Century.

The Revolutionists will pose audiences with the following questions: • • • •

Are terror and violence necessary components of change?

Can art (in its various forms) lead to positive societal changes?

What is the value of theater and art today?

Can one person make a difference?

“The show is not vulgar or risqué, but the topics are rather cerebral and may go above the heads of

younger viewers. Anyone from middle school and up, French history buffs, theater buffs, and those who enjoy intelligent dialogue will enjoy this play,” Kellog explained.

“I am beyond excited about the show!

We officially start rehearsals at the beginning of July. So far, we have all been doing a lot of character work and line memorization on our own and with the help of our amazing director, Christine Kellogg, and Assistant to the Director, Bethany Elswick.

NETC, CNATT USE RRL TRAINING INNOVATION, NAE COLLABORATION TO SUPPORT THE FLEET COURTESY STORY, NAVAL AVIATION TRAINING AND COMMAND

A

s the needs of the f leet rapidly change and evolve, the evolution and agility of naval aviation training has had to adapt to help increase operational readiness.

For the past several years, the Navy has been focused on Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) to modernize the development and delivery of training. The Naval Aviation Enterprise (NAE) is on the cutting edge of integration of RRL. Commander, Naval Air Forces, Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic (CNAL), Naval Education and Training Command (NETC), and the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (CNATT) and its 23 learning sites are partnering with type wings, Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) and other curriculum, software and hardware contractors in the development and delivery of training when and where it is needed.

Development and delivery efforts are led by U.S. Fleet Forces Command (USFFC) along with Program Executive Office for Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions (PEO MLB) in an effort to align technical, career and leadership development to a career-long learning continuum.

Finding and incorporating innovative ways to present training objectives to Sailors and Marines have also been an area of focus, particularly in CNATT schoolhouses. From publishing training videos on NETC’s Training Videos YouTube channel, to infusing cuttingedge technology like augmented and 20 | DOWNTOWNCROWD.COM

virtual reality into classrooms, NETC and CNATT are modernizing aviation training for the 21st century and beyond.

“We are in an era where near-peer competitors have re-emerged as the central challenge to U.S. security and prosperity,” said Rear Adm. Pete Garvin, NETC’s commander. “It is just as important today as ever to deliver effective, leading-edge training to our Sailors.”

To date, the collaborative efforts of this team have made significant strides in meeting the tenants of RRL. CNATT has incorporated industry best practices such as micro-videos and Broad Unscheduled Rapid Support Training (BURST) courses.

Micro-videos are typically filmed on the flight line or in work centers and are intended to provide visual reinforcement of infrequent or very detailed tasks. The videos are then published on NETC’s Training Videos YouTube channel. Efforts are being made to increase access to the videos, wherever a Sailor or Marine in aviation is serving.

BURST courses allow for the agile delivery of targeted systems of maintenance and troubleshooting. Typically excerpts from larger training lessons, these courses are tailored for point-of-need delivery.

BURST leverages onsite expertise of Forum for System Transition, Naval Aviation Technical Data and Engineering Services Center representatives, CNATT instructors and type wing subject-matter experts to assist maintenance personnel in troubleshooting and repairing particularly challenging or recurring discrepancies.

Recent events hosted by USFFC, PEO MLB and NAWCTSD have focused on

delivering modernized training with more agility and speed. Past events include NETC’s offsite where all learning centers shared ideas and challenges related to RRL. CNATT followed with its own offsite where all commanding officers (CO) under CNATT’s domain received the CNATT CO’s number one priority, to improve the RRL process and deliver the most technically trained Sailors and Marines to the fleet.

Under CNAL sponsorship, CNATT also hosted more than 50 senior enlisted maintenance leaders to review maintenance leadership courses, identify shortfalls and improve courses of instruction.

CNATT Unit Norfolk will additionally host a Training Requirement Review for E-2D avionics courses, emphasizing speed and agility in delivery current and modern training to the platform.

Other partnership efforts include corrosion training with F/A-18 type wings, Electrical Wire Interconnect System (EWIS) and Virtual Paint System (VPS).

The F/A-18 corrosion training is combining classroom knowledge with hands-on recognition and treatment.

The EWIS trainers are in production and will provide a repeatable and visual way to improve troubleshooting and repair techniques.

Finally, the VPS provides “reps and sets” for aircraft painting while eliminating hazardous waste and time-consuming preparations.

Naval Education and Training Command is the U.S. Navy’s Force Development pillar and largest shore command.

NETC is implementing the Ready Relevant Learning initiative to modernize our institutional training system. RRL delivers the right training, at the right time in a Sailor’s career, in the right way, so that Sailors are ready to operate their equipment and fulfill their rating requirements, transforming them into highly skilled, operational and combatready warfighters.

Cmdr. Meredith Schley, commanding officer, Information Warfare Training Command Corry Station, spoke at the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Midway commemoration for the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT), IWTC Corry Station, and Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Pensacola on Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station, June 3.

SAILORS ON CORRY STATION COMMEMORATED THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY

BY CRYPTOLOGIC TECHNICIAN NETWORKS 1ST CLASS JAMES MOORE

T

he Center for Infor mat ion Warfare Training (CIWT), Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) Corry Station, and Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Pensacola commemorated the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Midway during a morning ceremony on Naval Air Station Pensacola Corry Station, June 3.

The Battle of Midway was a naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II from June 4-7, 1942. Widely considered a turning point in World War II’s Pacific

theater, the U.S. victory at the Battle of Midway significantly blunted Japan’s westward offensive push, and shifted the tide of the war in the Allies’ favor.

Chief Cryptologic Technician Collection Talisman Nellum and Cryptologic Technician Collection 1st Class Elizabeth Johnson organized and participated in IWTC Corry Station’s remembrance ceremony. The ceremony began by expounding upon the importance of the “Miracle of Midway” and how the Navy intelligence community played a pivotal role in Midway’s success.

“Eighty years ago today, our nation’s future was far from certain,” Cmdr.

Meredith Schley, commanding officer,

IWTC Corry Station said. “The courage, sacrifice, heroism, and teamwork of every Sailor in that pivotal battle warrants our study, emulation and reverence.”

During the ceremony Seaman Karson Tran and Seaman Jacob Fletcher recounted the major events of the battle.

“At 0430: 10 Planes from the Yorktown began to search for Japanese Ships.

At 0810: 17 B-17s from Midway Islands attack. At 1610: Soryu sunk. At 1925: Kaga sunk.”

Each moment of heroism and tactical achievement was memorialized with the toll of a bell.

“The bell ceremony was my favorite part of the ceremony. It laid out the plan, showed how quickly things happened, and showed all the efforts that had to come together to achieve the end result,” Chief Cryptologic Technician Networks Cecilia Medina said.

Cryptologic Technician Maintenance 3rd Class Jared Reese Santos said the most impactful part of the ceremony for him was, “Listening to the CO (commanding officer) tell us about how Midway was really the first cryptologic-based battle was inspiring. As a cryptologic technician myself, it was very cool. I find a lot of pride in that.”

“I was impressed by the ceremony,” Chief Cryptologic Technician Collection Brian Wilson said. “Bringing the events of the Battle of Midway to the new students, the new Sailors, gives them a sense of purpose of what they’re training for. I was impressed by how Chief Nellum and Petty Officer Johnson put this event together. It rivaled other Battle of Midway ceremonies that I have gone to in Pearl Harbor.”

The ceremony concluded with a sago palm tree planting. IWTC Corry Station had previously planted an oak tree, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, but unfortunately the tree was destroyed during Hurricane Sally in September of 2020.

“It was important to us to be able to replace that oak with something that is a little bit more resilient and a little bit more native to Florida, which is a palm, so it’ll be able to withstand some of the weather,” said Johnson.

IWTC Corry Station is a part of the Center for Information Warfare Training.

With four schoolhouse commands, two detachments, and training sites throughout the United States and Japan, Center for Information Warfare Training trains over 26,000 students every year, delivering trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services.

Center for Information Warfare Training also offers more than 200 courses for cryptologic technicians, intelligence specialists, information systems technicians, electronics technicians, and officers in the information warfare community.
