The Orpheum TheaterViolent Vira
Phenomenon Concerts presents Violent Vira at the historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Flagstaff.

The story grapples with whether she will accept the truth of a homicide or be consumed by an illusion that refuses to let go.

Experience a three-day workshop that explores how sound links people and places, guided by ARTx keynote presenter Guillermo Galindo.

Attendees can expect to leave more attuned to their acoustic surroundings, more confident in their own voice, and more aware of sound as a medium for human connection. Participation in all three sessions is expected so the experience can develop from start to finish. Galindo brings a wide-ranging practice to this work.

His art investigates the edges where one realm meets another, including geographic, political, psychological, biological, and gendered boundaries. A 2024 Guggenheim Fellow, his work resides in the collections of LACMA, the de Young, Crystal Bridges, and the National Gallery, and he teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Projects such as Sonic Botany, Sonic Biogenesis, Genomics and Mutant Jungles, and Ruido Negro reflect his fusion of visual and sonic thinking, pairing graphic notation with interactive soundscapes and examining thresholds between species, the organic and the synthetic, and the persistence of the human presence on the planet.

Bushmaster ParkTrash Panda Community Market
A new community market is launching at the events area of Pine Forest Charter in Flagstaff, creating a simple way to host a mini yard sale, art booth, or resale rack. For a $5 contribution, participants can set up a table, and that donation supports Pine Forest Charter School. The market is designed with renters in mind, especially those in apartments without yards or with restrictions on yard sales, and it offers a friendly space to earn a little cash while giving pre-loved items another life instead of sending them to the landfill. Bring clothing, handmade pieces, unique finds, and anything that might be perfect for someone else. Everyone is asked to follow a few easy guidelines that keep the space welcoming for all: pack in and pack out, pick up litter if you spot it, leave the area better than you found it, and show respect for the space, the people, and the mission. If you have ever wished for an easy way to hold a yard sale, this market makes it possible while giving back to a local school.
