One of the hardest things I’ve ever had to hear is when my niece, then six, said to me, “I don’t mind my brown hair, but I hate my brown skin.”
After I glued my heart back together, we began to take her to pow wows and I doubled down on finding role models to show her of strong, beautiful Indigenous women.
One such woman, Chantele Rilatos, will be showing the intricate, stunning baskets she creates to preserve and connect with her Yurok ancestors and continue that heritage for future generations.
She will be just one of the artists at the “Where Waters Meet” show, a group of five Indigenous artists with shows in
all three of the galleries at the Newport Visual Arts Center and down the road at the Olive Gallery inside the Newport Visual Arts Center. (See page 9) I might have to miss the Saturday opening, though, because I will be at the Run to the Rogue relay held by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians that follows, in reverse, the forced march of 213 miles that people of different tribes were forced to take the Siletz Reservation lands. The last time I participated in the relay, my leg was three miles near the Sea Lion Caves north of Florence under a huge full moon. It was an amazing experience I encourage people to participate in, even if, like me, your skin isn’t brown. (See page 18)

Rizo’s back
Burlesque superstar returns to Newport with meditation on the concept of home
Fresh on the heels of a successful Sydney Festival run, Amelia Zirin-Brown, aka Rizo, has returned home with a brand-new show at the Newport Performing Arts Center this Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1.
Rizo uses her trademark blend of songs, stories, performance art, comedy and glamor to explore the nature of home and how it informs our identity. Does where you hang your hat define who you are or how you think about yourself?
“In my shows, there is already a high level of vibration,” Zirin-Brown said. “At the coast, that is mixed with the pride of the fact that this is where I sprang from a clam. Riding and harnessing that enthusiasm and cultivating that with the audience creates a whole different kind of wonderful show.”
“Rizo: Home” explores the concepts of home, the “prodigal daughter” and Joseph Campbell’s reported quote that “Women don’t need to make the journey, they are the place that everyone is trying to get to.”
“It’s a deep and varied subject if you really look at it,” she said. “How you view yourself based on where you live and the greater archetypal journey of leaving and returning with new knowledge. And, sometimes, the discomfort that happens when you confront the nostalgia you had for a place once you return.”
The New York Times once referred to Rizo as “SENSATIONAL… A fierce but kindhearted fusion of comedy, burlesque, performance art and rock ‘n’ roll.” Taking a cue from Édith Piaf, Rizo fully embraces the role of chanteuse. In recordings, she is a mysterious figure, a siren ushering you through tableaux of heartbreak, lust and the murkiness in between. Live, she is an eyeful.
An international cult favorite, her stage shows bring her powerhouse vocals together with seductive storytelling and
wild hilarious audience experiments.
In the studio she has collaborated with Moby, Reggie Watts and Yo-Yo Ma; whose album “Songs of Joy & Peace,” which features Rizo, won a Grammy Award.
Rizo has also received a New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship, a Time Out London theater award, and a London Cabaret award. She recently starred in the role of Madame Zinzanni in the revival of the much beloved Teatro ZinZanni and is in development for a television project with Michael Carbonaro of the popular series “The Carbonaro Effect.”
traveling internationally for more than 15 years then finally returning to her home state of Oregon, the land of her art hippy childhood.
Live performance is something she does for her own mental health, enjoying the positive effect it can also have on her audiences.
“I like to go from a joke to a transformative experience,” she said. “Sometimes I feel like the audience uses me as an outlet for freedom. You can feel the difference in the room at the end of the show. A lot of my new shows are about peeling back the alter ego I’ve lived with for 20 years. I’ve reached an age where I enjoy looking back on all the lives I’ve lived but am also really looking forward to the new lives I haven’t lived yet.”
Join Rizo as she reflects on living in New York City and
“There’s so much separation in the virtual realm and a lot of anger and in order for us to be healthy in the world we need to gather in real life,” she said. “I’m really excited to be in a place where I can offer humor, wild antics, beautiful songs and wild costumes to help people reach that goal.”
Both shows start at 7 pm at the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street. Tickets are $28.75 to $44.25. For more information, go to coastarts.org or call 541-2652787.

Fancy some piano?
Get serenaded by a home-state heroine when Rebecca Abbott brings her singular style to the Lincoln City Cultural Center on Thursday, June 6.
Known for her clear voice and literary lyrics, Abbott was raised in Oregon before “bouncing happily” through musical theater, Western Europe and graduate school. Along the way, she studied the pipe organ, presented American spirituals to German teenagers and wrote a Christmas musical for 100 preschoolers.
Her voice has frequently been compared to Julie Andrews’ and her piano styles range from folk rock to cabaret to Schumannesque. Abbott’s debut album, “As a Matter of Fancy,” was conceived in a three-day retreat and then took several months to perfect. The selections deliberately intertwine the sacred, the ordinary and the humorous, conveying a
worldview saturated with meaning.
The album includes “As a Matter of Fact,” a light jazz piece sung by a character in a difficult marriage and “Fly to the Mountain” which imagines the perspective of someone caught up in the Arab Spring and can be extended to any of those who started out with revolutionary hopes and found themselves disappointed. Songs like “Gloria” connect sacred story to everyday life, while “Hat er noch alle Tassen im Schrank” gets a little raunchy but, luckily, will only potentially offend those fluent in German.
The show begins at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. Tickets for reserved cabaret table seating are $20.
For more information, go to lincolncityculturalcenter.org or call 541-994-9994.
Try your hand at a feat of clay
Itching to get creative with clay but intimidated by the wheel? Sign up for soft slab ceramics classes at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.
Classes are scheduled for mornings and evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning on Tuesday, June 4, and running through the end of the month. Both classes are taught by the beloved Andrea Paris and focus on soft slab hand-building techniques, perfect for beginner to advanced skill levels. In the morning sessions, participants will craft tea sets inspired by the works of artists Liz Zlot Summerfield and Lana Wilson. Students will learn the fundamentals of soft slab hand-building while drawing inspiration from these celebrated artists.
In the evening sessions, students will focus on storytelling through the creation of functional ceramic pieces. Based on works from artists Lisa Naples and Joellyn Rock, participants will incorporate painting, etching and additive sculpture into their creations. This will be the last opportunity to learn from Paris until the winter.
Morning classes run from 10 am to noon and evening classes run from 6 to 9 pm, Tuesday and Thursday from June 4 through 27. The Lincoln City Cultural Center is located at 540 NE Hwy. 101. For more information and registration, go to lincolncity-culturalcenter.org/classes/clayceramics, email Bea Herzberg at bea@lc-cc. org or call 541-994-9994.

Weave got something to share
Young Indigenous artists come together for ‘Where Waters Meet’ in Newport
Like rivulets joining to create a stream, the three galleries of the Newport Visual Arts Center and the Olive Street Gallery at the Newport Performing Arts Center will unite for a singular show, “Where Waters Meet,” opening this Saturday, June 1.
Honoring heritage while establishing new paths of contemporary expression, five talented artists from diverse backgrounds and tribes will present photography, videography, installation, painting, sculpture and basketry.
An opening reception for all four exhibits will take place at both venues on Saturday from noon to 5 pm. Artist talks begin at the Newport Visual Arts Center at 1 pm. Light refreshments will be served, and DJ True Justice will provide entertainment. From 2:30 to 3:30 pm, the Olive Street Gallery will be temporarily transformed into a reading room for a leisure-focused arts engagement experience where guests can peruse related art books and chat with the artist.
The show is curated by mixed media Lenape/Nanticoke artist Leonard D. Harmon.
“I’ve been volunteering at the visual arts center for more than two years so when Chasse [Davidson] became director we became friends and I pitched the idea to do the first allIndigenous show,” he said. “I wanted to spotlight some artists that are absolutely amazing but are just not seen. These are ones that I feel deserve this platform. For example, Booker [Bartow] is an amazing artist and his father is so well known but he isn’t. Yet.”
In the Runyan Gallery, Harmon and Leland Butler, of Grand Ronde/Siletz/Yurok ancestry, will present their collaborative contemporary exhibit, “Walking on Eggshells.”
The show will feature photography, film, sculpture and installation components.
“We’ve been working for more than a year now for what will be in the show,” Harmon said. “This is the beginning of a bigger body of work. Both of us are young men so we don’t have a lot of answers but we can represent some of the questions. I grew up an urban Indigenous person on the East Coast and he grew up in Grande Ronde, so it is interesting for us to explore art together coming from these backgrounds that are different in some ways but similar in others.”
Harmon comes from a long line of creators and craftsmen. And while he draws inspiration from his ancestors and tribe, he is primarily self-taught. Curiosity about self, land and people led Butler to photography a decade ago. His sophisticated and often mysterious compositions explore the duality of light and shadow.
Booker Bartow, of Wiyot heritage and son of celebrated artist Rick Bartow, will present his bold and eclectic debut exhibit “South Beach Salamander” in the Upstairs Gallery. Booker’s early years were filled with music, art and long days spent searching for frogs and salamanders in the wetlands near his home. While much of his adult life has been devoted to skateboarding and sharing his love of the sport through videography, he has recently rediscovered his love for visual art.
The intricate and beautiful basketry of traditional weaver Chantele Rilatos, a Siletz tribal member of Yurok descent, will be on display in the COVAS Showcase. Using varied plant materials native to her homelands, she creates beautiful woven works representing the land and her ancestors. Currently living
in Northern California, Rilatos was born and raised on the Rogue River.
“Basketry is a way of life for my people and my culture,” she said. “We use our baskets for storage, for gathering, we even have watertight baskets. There are not many basket weavers left, certainly not young people. I’ve had a lot of elders pour a lot of their knowledge into me and I want to keep that knowledge alive.”
And at the Olive Street Gallery, “Memories at Night” will feature the bold and exciting large-scale work of multidisciplinary artist Isabella Saavedra, a member of the Pit River Tribe. Saavedra’s work depicts introspective accounts of significant moments ranging from person to viral scale, a subject she refers to as her “Now-isms.” Her work is informed by queerness, radical vulnerability and philosophies of visual sovereignty.
“Some nights, the realms of the spirit world, dream world and the real world exist simultaneously,” she said, “and at these times, one can commune with one’s self, memories and previous versions of themself and consult with spirit guides. This is also the time I most often find myself painting.”
“Where Waters Meet” will run through June 28 at the Newport Visual Arts Center, located at 777 NW Beach Drive and open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4 pm. “Memories at Night” will run through August 25 at the Olive Street Gallery at the Newport Performing Arts Center, located at 777 W Olive Street and open Tuesdays through Fridays, from 10 am to 5 pm, as well as one hour before ticketed events. For more information, go to coastarts.org or call 541-265-6540.

artsy Labors of love
Manzanita’s Hoffman Gallery is offering a rare opportunity to view an astonishing, historic art collection highlighting the work of the preeminent Runquist Brothers, curated by retired Portland Art Museum curator Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson.
Two lectures by Laing-Malcolmson will accompany the show: “Social Activism and Burnt Stumps: Two Brothers’ Living Art” on Sunday, June 2, and “Social Realism and Government Funding: Works Projects Administration Art in and beyond Oregon” on Sunday, June 9.
Arthur and Albert Runquist were children of Scandinavian immigrant parents who settled in Aberdeen, Washington, at the end of the 19th Century to farm and log. Their love for art and the natural environment, strong work ethic and belief in social equality has gifted later generations with a powerful, thought-provoking body of drawings and paintings.
This mini-retrospective exhibit begins with early works done in the 1920s, moving through a significant, often-controversial Depression Era body of work while the brothers found employment as mural and easel painters with the Works Projects Administration and in the Oregon shipyards, to images that capture the wild beauty of the North Oregon Coast. The art, spanning five decades, defines a transitional period of United States history.
During the 1920s, the Runquists studied art at the University of Oregon, the Art Students League in New York and the Portland Museum Art School. There they studied with the head of the painting department, Henry Fredrick Wentz, who loaned them his Neahkahnie beach cottage from 1946 to 1963, providing an ideal, rustic environment to pursue their painting.
The charcoal, pencil and ink drawings, watercolors and oil paintings in the exhibit capture industrial forces championed by WPA artists, while clearly illustrating the plight of the worker. Viewed by many as socialist/communist sympathizers, they were ostracized from Portland’s art scene.
Moving to Neahkahnie provided a refuge where the beautiful, but often harsh, coastal environment served as a metaphorical equivalent to the workers’ struggles. The Neahkahnie area paintings depict subtly colored, often expressionistic views of the landscape and people. Wind contorted trees, logged and burnt forests and figures eking a living from the land and sea become prime subjects.
The Sunday lectures on June 2 and 9 begin at 1 pm. Tickets are $15.
The exhibit will be on display through June 29 at the Hoffman Gallery, located at 594 Laneda Avenue in Manzanita, open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 5 pm. For more information, go to hoffmanarts.org or call 503-368-3846.

This is not your garden-variety art
Lincoln City’s Connie Hansen Garden will again be exhibiting the artwork of the Painted Ladies in the Garden House Gallery from Saturday, June 1, through the end of August.
This group of local women come together regularly to discuss, critique and support each other on their creative journey to improve their artistic skills.
An opening celebration will be held on Saturday from 4 to 6 pm. Light refreshments will be served.
Ruth Hugeback picked up a paintbrush in earnest about 15 years ago, after a 40-year career as a laboratory scientist. She “finds different processes therapeutic, fascinating, exciting and frustrating,” and enjoys experimenting in painting in watercolor, oil and acrylic as well as dyeing, book binding, acrylic and gel printing. She frequently hosts classes at the Artists’ Studio Association.
Roxce Stavney found painting to be her passion after retiring from public health as a nurse. Over time, painting with oil and cold wax on panels with a palette knife evolved into her preferred medium. She explores color, texture and movement.
“I look for abstractions that can represent multiple layers of meaning,” she said.
Sue Henderson has been retired for 17 years after a long career of teaching art in public secondary schools in Oregon.
“I get to explore and play with all kinds of new techniques and media,” she said, “and I take joy incorporating them into my primary passions of calligraphy, watercolor and mixed media.”
Doreen (Doe) Thirkell, formerly a professional potter and administrative assistant, moved from Maine to the Oregon Coast 19 years ago. After retirement, she experimented in many types of media, but settled on soft pastels.
“I loved the softness and subtleness of pastels,” she said.
Her realistic artwork shows her love of the Earth’s creatures and the beauty of its landscapes.
Each artist has their own style but all are in touch with the natural world.
Connie Hansen’s Garden House Gallery is located at 1931 NW 33rd Street in Lincoln City and is open daily from 10 am to 2 pm. The garden is open from dawn to dusk. Guided tours are available Tuesday and Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. For more information, go to conniehansengarden.com or call 541-994-6338.

Art in the Spotlight
After a three-year hiatus, A.T. Ronan’s creativity is back to greet the sunshine with a Yaquina Art Association Pedestal show dedicated to the inspiration of flowers, opening this Saturday, June 1.
The show is fittingly titled “Spirit Flowers,” a tribute to the joy even the simplest flower gives to the world.
“My renewed appreciation for the natural beauty that surrounds us challenged me to find a vision that would stir my imagination to once again create art,” she said.
Ronan’s designs use tiny blossoms, flower petals and leaves as well as rose buds that she presses and dries using various methods. To complement the real flowers, she crafts intricate hand-made specialty paper flowers and floral arrangements from delicate crepe paper from Germany. And, especially for the show, she fashioned lotus blossoms from cardstock to recognize the powerful spirit in all flowers.
She will also display two silk wreath arrangements, one made specifically for a bride that includes silk flowers from decorations from Ronan’s own wedding of more than 40 years ago, which she is sure will bless the newlyweds with much happiness just like she enjoyed with her husband Ed.
The show also includes hand-painted, embellished vases and containers as well as candles and candle holders. A flower fairy flying in a Gazebo decorated with, you guessed it, colorful flowers, completes the show.

Newport is your oyster
Join MidCoast Watersheds Council for a captivating presentation by Dr. Steven Rumrill as he discusses experimental enhancements of Olympia oyster populations at Newport’s Pacific Maritime Heritage Center this Thursday, June 6. This small oyster, the only one native to the North American West Coast, historically provided valuable ecosystem benefits in the intertidal and subtidal zones, but overharvesting during the late 1800s decreased the population to a fraction of their historical abundance. Olympia oysters currently only occur in three estuaries in Oregon: Netarts Bay, Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay, where they are estimated to be at one to 10 percent of their historic densities prior to the onset of commercial harvesting. Rumrill
will discuss the many setbacks of Olympia oyster recovery, and showcase a recent project to experimentally enhance the existing population of them at Coquille Point.
Rumrill has served as the shellfish program leader for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife since 2011, managing a diverse program encompassing policy development, resource assessment surveys, fisheries, research and outreach activities for a diverse group of shellfish that inhabit Oregon’s various coastal habitats.
The talk begins at 6:30 pm at the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center, located at 333 SE Bay Blvd. in Newport. A Zoom link to enjoy the presentation remotely will also be available. For more information, go to midcoastwatersheds.org.

Buoy, ain’t these pretty?
Whether you blow your own or find one on the beach, few things say Lincoln City like glass floats. Long before talented glass artists began producing the colorful floats now hidden daily on local beaches, a man named James L. Watson began collecting antique and unusual floats from all over the world, a collection now housed at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum.
The museum is now offering a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire antique glass fishing floats from the renowned James L. Watson Glass Fishing Float Collection at a fund-raising sale on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1.
A wide variety of floats will be for sale, ranging in price from $20 to more than $5,000.
Watson was born in 1944 and passed away in 2002. He was one of the world’s leading collectors of Japanese glass fishing floats, amassing an extensive collection throughout his lifetime. His dream was to one day have his collection displayed in a museum, sharing the beauty and history of these unique objects with the world. This dream became a reality in 2023, when his wife Diana generously donated the most significant pieces from Watson’s collection to the museum, ensuring that her husband’s legacy would live on.
At the time of donation, it was agreed with the Watson Foundation that a portion of the glass floats would be made available for sale as a fundraiser toward continuing Jim’s legacy and continuing the museum’s mission of providing the public with an educational resource dedicated to the preservation of North Lincoln County History.
The upcoming sale features only a portion of the Watson Collection’s roughly 350 antique floats, representing a wide variety of styles and sizes created by Japanese glassmakers in the early 20th Century.
“We are honored to be the permanent home for the James L. Watson Glass Fishing Float Collection and are excited to offer this rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own a piece of history,” Executive Director Christopher
Melton said. “The extensive collection features rolling pins, balls, sausages and float variations of all sizes.”
Watson’s first find was a large lavender float the size of a basketball on the beach near his home in Hawaii. His life was changed, and he found his calling: to seek out the rarest glass fishing floats he could find and share their beauty and history with the world. He later moved from Hawaii to Neskowin, where he continued to beachcomb along Oregon’s sandy beaches, an historical hotspot for Japanese floats. Throughout his life, he traveled to Japan and befriended locals, fishermen, glass makers and collectors. He also gave talks and presentations, teaching people about the history of these unique objects, which functioned as both important tools and exquisite pieces of art.
The North Lincoln County Historical Museum is located at 4907 Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City.
For more information, go to northlincolncountyhistoricalmuseum.org or call 541-9966614.
Before the sale begins on Friday, the viewing room will be open to the public from 11 am to 1 pm for a meet and greet with other collectors and to view the floats. After the viewing, those interested in purchasing will draw a lottery ticket and visitors will be let into the room in small groups from 1:30 to 4 pm on Friday and 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday. Each person will be allowed to purchase one item. After all ticket holders have chosen their floats, the sale will open to all.
Go Wrong in Nehalem
Prepare for a side-splitting night of chaos and calamity as Riverbend Players presents “The Play That Goes Wrong,” opening this Friday, May 31, at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.
This Olivier Award-winning comedy follows the calamitous opening night of a fictional amateur drama society’s production of a 1920s murder mystery, “The Murder at Haversham Manor.” Everything that can go wrong, does. From falling props and cast injuries to technical failures and memory lapses, the show is a testament to the fine art of theatrical disaster.
“’The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a non-stop laugh riot,” said director Frank Squillo. “It’s a brilliantly written farce that pokes fun at the conventions of theater while keeping audiences on the edge of their seats wondering what outrageous mishap will happen next.”
Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, the play has everything you never wanted in a show — an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead and actors who trip over everything, including their lines.
The production features a talented ensemble cast of local actors, including Juli Stratton, Patrick Conner, Bryonie Arnold, Dawson Carter, Wynn Rankin, Leslie Gestautas, Kate Lacaze and Mark Bartrom.
The show will run through Sunday, June 16, with performances every Friday and Saturday at 7 pm and Sunday at 2 pm. Tickets are $25 premiere, $20 general, $10 for kids aged 12 and younger and $5 for student matinée.
The NCRD Performing Arts Center is located at 36155 9th Street in Nehalem.
For more information and tickets, go to RiverbendPlayers.org or call 503-298-5467.
Run to the
Rogue
First the pandemic, then the Southern Oregon wildfires kept the treasured annual tradition of the Run to the Rogue relay from happening in recent years. Finally, the community is once again invited to join Siletz Tribal members and friends for the 29th annual Run to the Rogue, taking place this Friday, May 31, through Sunday, June 2.
Originally held in September, organizers moved the event to late spring to avoid risking cancelation again due to wildfires.
The 213-mile route is held in memory of the Siletz Tribal ancestors who were forcibly removed from their homeland in Rogue River country in the mid-1800s and marched north to Siletz and the confines of the Coast Reservation.
Camping sites, meals, support and refreshments are provided along the route.
An orientation session will be held Friday, May 31, at 8 am at the Tribal Community Center in Siletz, when Run to the Rogue T-shirts will be distributed to participants. The run begins in Siletz at 8:30 am at the Tribal Community Center and ends Sunday at Oak Flat on the Rogue River.

First stop, Toledo for First weekend SAVE THE DATES
Every month, the town of Toledo takes a weekend to celebrate their arts community and invite the public to join in. Galleries and studios throughout town will welcome guests this Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2.
The Yaquina River Museum of Art continues its showing of the Permanent Collection exhibition with a special send off to a guest favorite seascape “Winter Surf III” by Michael Gibbons. Select paintings by esteemed local artists including Collen Caubin, Katia Kyte and Jill Perry Townsend will also be on display. The Yaquina River Museum of Art, located at 151 NE Alder Street, will be open from noon to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www.yaquinarivermuseumofart.org or call 541-336-1907.
Across the street, Michael Gibbons’ Signature Gallery will be featuring one of Gibbons’ popular floral pieces “Iris and Roses.” The late artist found inspiration wherever he went, and the dramatic desert environs of the American Southwest were a rich source
for his works. Irises in particular, seen in the Northwest this time of year, are a flower captured in several of his paintings as the artist was drawn to their unique blooms and wide spectrum of color. See this work and many more originals at Michael Gibbons’ Signature Gallery located at 140 NE Alder Street from noon to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to michaelgibbons.net or call 541-336-2797.
On Main Street, Crow’s Nest Gallery & Studio will feature the works of more than 20 artists. The gallery-space run by assemblage artist Janet Runger always features new and exciting works for viewers to see. Veta Bakhtina, features her folkloric oil paintings; Alice Haga, fused glass; Val Bolen, ceramics and glass mosaics; Sylvia Hosie, award winning photography; Paula Teplitz, sculptural jellyfish mobiles; Jeff Gibford, digitally manipulated photographs; Tish Epperson, watercolors; and Susan Jones, woven fiber jellyfish. Crow’s Nest Gallery & Studio is located at 305 N. Main Street and open from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
