Andrew Bird, 2007 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival
Will it be “The premier outdoor summer event in Jackson Hole??”
It just may be. So, mark your calendars. Travis Walker’s Teton Art Lab, with support from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, The Kemmerer Foundation, and Old Bill’s Fun Run, presents the Caldera Festival: Andrew Bird and Sharon Van Etten on Saturday, August 18, 2012. The festival runs 6-11:00 pm, centered at the Center for the Arts. Says the Community Foundation’s website:
“While there are a number of arts and conservation organizations in Jackson, these communities rarely come together to highlight issues in new ways. The Caldera Festival will do just that by encouraging learning for all ages with creative and innovative exhibitions, films, presentations and performances such as a hike with Treefight founder David Gonzalez and an art class using all found and local materials. Grant funding from the Community Foundation will help kick start this new event.”
That last sentence suggests this summer’s Caldera may be the first of many. The music will be incredible. Andrew Bird and Sharon Van Etten are scheduled to appear; exact show times are TBA. Their music is transcendant, joyful and peaceful. And fun to listen to, you will NOT nod off.  Listen to their music:  www.andrewbird.net and www.sharonvanetten.com.  www.tetonartlab.com
A nice family arts activity came over the ListServe wires: Take part in the Community Mural Project this Sunday, July 19, 1-4:00 pm.  Head over to the newest Community Pathways tunnel under Highway 22, near the Teton Science School Jackson Campus entrance.  Sponsored by the NeWest Community, this tunnel mural project is an easy “paint by numbers” effort.
The mural’s design is completed, and all that’s required is your inner artist and a penchant for sharing conversation and creativity.  Once the mural is done, come back time after time to take pride in your contribution to our arts and pathways.
All paints and materials will be supplied. This is a free and open family event. And certainly, come on your own.
