Feb 16 “A History of Skiing in Flagstaff”
Jane Jackson, USFS/NPS
The first winter carnival on the Peaks was in 1939, but skiing in Flagstaff began long before that. Mars Hill, Townsend Ski-Way, Scissorbill Park - all these were places locals went to try out the newest winter sport, downhill skiing. Take a step back into time when skis were wood, rope tows were the newest excitement on the slopes and winter carnivals included events like egg novelty ski races and jumping exhibitions. Hear about the history of skiing in Flagstaff, the early days of Arizona Snowbowl, and the unique people who made it what has become today. A Flagstaff Winterfest Event.

On Feb. 1st, Goldenstein Gallery (Sedona, AZ) kicked off Art inthe Raw. This luscious exhibition will debut a special new series by photographer Joel Gilgoff of world class athletes training in Flagstaff. The renowned artist Henri Matisse once said “It is through the human figure that I best succeed in expressing the nearly religious feeling that I have towards life.” Gilgoff’s unparalleled images honor the magnificence of the human form powerfully displaying the art of muscular symmetry, strength and beauty.

Multi-Media Artist Gloria Rothrock’s desire to create and express her passion permeates her life. She sees it as an adventure to be a conduit for Spirit flowing through her heart and hands. Creating work that is sophisticated yet has a primitive quality, Rothrock uses a variety of materials to express her vision, including acrylic paints, oil crayons, pastels, ink, graphite, paper, fabric, and found objects. Often having layer upon layer, her images have a tactile quality that display an innate sensuality.
