"First Friday on First" with ERIN LINTON, an Artist reception....
ART on FIRST presents an artist reception featuring Erin Linton as the evening’s spotlighted creator. Erin will be available to talk about her newest pieces, and the celebration includes live music along with light bites and refreshments. Raised in the small Oregon community of Lincoln near Ashland, now within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, Erin spent her childhood roaming forested acres of pines and firs and caring for orphaned or injured birds. At eleven she rehabilitated an American Robin she named Navin and released it back to the wild, an experience that sparked a lifelong connection with wildlife. Regular birding trips with her father to the Klamath Bird Refuge helped her learn to identify well over a hundred species during spring and fall migrations, and birds became central to her creative life. Her work blends a love of wildlife, a passion for painting and an appreciation for tea. She paints with gouache on reclaimed teabags. Each piece begins with saving and carefully preparing the bags... drying to set the stains, removing the tea, rinsing, soaking to lower acidity, then a distilled water bath for pH testing before drying and flattening. The prepared teabags are layered onto canvas board that has been treated with an India ink wash and decorative papers to create a visually pleasing ground. She chooses teabags for their subtle tones and textures, which complement fur and feathers and bring a gentle warmth to the animals she portrays. Erin has received numerous awards, exhibits in shows across the country, and maintains a permanent presence at ART on FIRST in Ashland, Oregon.

RockafairyInsights into the Biodiversity of Butterflies & Moths of the Siskiyous
At Geos Institute, explore insights into the butterflies and moths of the Siskiyous through a gathering that begins with a book signing and informal conversation, then continues with a presentation and open discussion. Registration is requested for both portions. Topics include how to interpret maps and learn from what they reveal, Lepidoptera as indicators of climate change, searches for rare species, the interdependence of plants and animals with a focus on caterpillar host plants, the effects of disturbance on ecological balance, and ways to contribute to regional knowledge of Lepidoptera in Southern Oregon. Copies of the new two-volume Butterflies of Oregon: An Updated Atlas Honoring John Hinchcliff will be available from Dr. Jeffrey C. Miller for $95, check only. Dr. Miller began studying entomology in 1971 and continued through graduate work, a postdoctoral appointment, and an instructor role at UC Davis before joining Oregon State University in 1979, where he served from Assistant Professor to Professor of Entomology and is now Professor Emeritus. His teaching spanned 16 courses across General Ecology, Biological Control, Taxonomy, Biodiversity, and Photoshop. His research covered insect management in agricultural and forest systems, insect biodiversity in Oregon woodlands and coniferous forests, and insect biosystematics with emphasis on Lepidoptera and their caterpillars. A dedicated photographer, he has produced six books, four published by the U.S. Forest Service and two by Harvard Press, featuring images centered on caterpillars. His studies on caterpillar foodplants began in 1986, informed by work on non-target effects of Btk and by John Hinchliff’s 1994 An Atlas of Oregon Butterflies, and have included collaborations with Dr. Paul C. Hammond, Dana N.R. Ross, and Dennis A. Albert. Dana N.R. Ross is a freelance entomologist and courtesy faculty member in the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University. A fascination with butterflies from early childhood grew into decades of field documentation across Oregon and neighboring states. After earning an M.S. under Dr. Miller, he completed federal, state, and private contracts to survey and monitor rare butterflies and to conduct species inventories at key ecological sites, documenting butterflies from less visited and understudied locations. He co-leads annual butterfly counts at Oregon Caves National Monument and teaches at the Siskiyou Field Institute. His contributions to Lepidoptera research include publications and the distinction of having both an Ecuadorean moth and a Pacific Northwest butterfly named in his honor, and he was credited as “Moth and Butterfly Wrangler” in the film The Dark Divide.

Game Night DeliRise Up and Rock: A Front Woman’s Journey
Author Natasha Neece presents Rise Up and Rock: A Front Woman’s Journey, a visually rich memoir that blends music, mysticism, and the realities of female leadership on a rock stage. Drawing from her time fronting a Led Zeppelin tribute outfit with an otherwise all-male lineup, she recounts exhilarating performances and volatile offstage dynamics while reframing myth and archetype through a feminine take on the Hero’s Journey. The story follows a path through conflict, slander, and ego clashes toward clarity, purpose, and renewed self-worth. Along the way, Neece reflects on childhood imprints and a longing to belong, explores collaboration as a heart-led practice, and holds to the belief that music can heal. Her search for guidance weaves in spiritual traditions and practices around the world, from temples and retreats to revivals and ancestral encounters, all while carrying the demands of fronting a band through seventy-five shows. The book is available in e-book, black-and-white paperback, and full-color hardcover formats, offering an intimate look at rock culture and a candid account of reclaiming authenticity and empowerment.

Hyatt Lake ResortPortraits Without Limits with Cheryl Magellen
At Central Art (MEDFORD), Cheryl Magellen leads a continuing monthly portrait course presented in repeating four session blocks, capped at eight students. The format provides ample working time and attentive guidance, offering a clear, step by step pathway for drawing and painting portraits. Each cycle builds skills for returning artists while still welcoming new participants. Study centers on constructing the head as a solid three dimensional form, organizing light and shadow for convincing value, introducing color without sacrificing form or clarity, integrating features naturally within the head, and shaping expression through careful use of edges, emphasis, and restraint. The focus is on learning to see and make decisions rather than copying features or hurrying to a finish. Instruction is structured yet flexible, open to beginners through experienced artists, and all media are welcome. Registration is required. Artists enrolled in Creative Mastery may take this as a complementary study, though it is not a prerequisite. Early registration includes a digital working edition of the instructor’s upcoming portrait instruction ebook that expands on the concepts and exercises explored in class.

Craterian Theater2026 Airgun Oregon Extreme Airgun Challenge
A multi-discipline airgun competition at Ashland Gun and Archery Club brings together Extreme Field Target, 100-yard benchrest, and a long range challenge for a full showcase of precision shooting. The Extreme Field Target course features 15 lanes with two targets on each, squads of three, and clearly posted distances ranging from 15 to 110 yards. Power is capped at 120 fpe, calibers are .30 or smaller, pellets only with no slugs, and scopes may be used at up to 32X. Targets are round red swingers with white backers to make impacts easy to read, any visible movement counts as a hit, and non-shooting squad members handle scoring and spotting. Spinners range from 7/8 inch to 4 inches, and one lane requires supported standing offhand. The benchrest program includes a 100-yard pellet class with updated two card finals, along with an Unlimited 120 fpe slug class. Both pellets and slugs are limited to 120 fpe and .35 caliber for safety and scoring. Shooting is conducted on 25 bull cards. Tethering is permitted in the Unlimited Slug class, with air tanks secured on the bench for the duration, and a quiet, controlled line is maintained under RSO supervision. The long range challenge sets single targets at 145, 175, 195, 250, and 300 yards across five benches. LED hit indicators on each target streamline scoring, with the center bull spinner lighting red for 10 points and the outer swinger lighting green for 5 points. That yields up to 50 points per lane and a maximum of 250 for the match. Each position has a clear view of all distances, competitors rotate through targets as directed by the RSO, five shots are taken on each target, and tethering is allowed with tanks kept securely on the bench. Sign-in takes place in the clubhouse to the left of the shotgun shooting line on the drive out to the airgun range, and registration is required before using the range. Match entry is $300 and includes a shirt and the awards dinner or lunch. Daily brunch or lunch is available for an additional charge or donation.
