Episode #145 | Rose Sellery: Ripple Effect Art FestivalRose Sellery is a Santa Cruz-based multidisciplinary artist whose work uses the language of fashion to explore themes related to women's lives and societal expectations. She grew up in Venice, California, at her parents' ceramic studio, located across the alley from a brothel, where crayons, paper, and clay were her toys. As she got older, she managed the family's ceramics factory in downtown Los Angeles, learning how creativity, labor, and scale intersect. A relationship eventually pulled her north to Santa Cruz just before the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.Rose spent years helping her husband with custom fine-art woodworking in Santa Cruz, but as his practice moved deeper into solitary carving, she felt the pull to rediscover her own path. She enrolled at Cabrillo College, studying welding and jewelry, and quickly fell in love with the meticulous work, but the stories she wanted to tell kept outgrowing that format. Free from the constraints of precious metals and gemstones, she began experimenting with whatever materials best served the story: wire, bone, plastics, pearls, seed pods, hair. Parallel to her studio work, she has become a key community builder, helping shape projects such as fashionART Santa Cruz, PiVot: The Art of Fashion, FashionTeens Santa Cruz, and her latest countywide project, Ripple Effect Arts Festival. Ripple Effect is an 11-day, multi-venue celebration that brings together more than a hundred performances, exhibitions, and hands-on arts experiences across Santa Cruz County, inviting the public not just to see art but to participate in it and feel its impact ripple through the community.In this conversation, Rose shares how an unconventional childhood shaped her eye, how her work explores the quiet labor of being “seen,” and the origin and intent behind Ripple Effect Arts Festival.rippleartsfestsantacruz.orgrosesellery.com Instagram: @rose_selleryInstagram: @rippleartsfestsantacruz

palabras atrapadas entre lo que querían decir y lo que temían revelar.En: Both remained silent for a moment, words trapped between what they wanted to say and what they feared to reveal.Es: Luego, caminaron juntos hacia un pequeño rincón del parque, lejos del bullicio.En: Then, they walked together to a small corner of the park, away from the bustle.Es: "¿Cómo has estado?"En: "How have you been?"Es: preguntó Salvador, sus ojos buscando respuestas en el rostro de Marisol.En: asked Salvador, his eyes searching for answers in Marisol's face.Es: "He estado bien," contestó, aunque detrás de su sonrisa todavía quedaba la culpa.En: "I've been well," she replied, although behind her smile, guilt still lingered.Es: "¿Y tú?"En: "And you?"Es: "Buscando inspiración," respondió él, haciendo una pausa.En: "Looking for inspiration," he responded, pausing.Es: "Desde que... bueno, desde que nos separamos, ha sido difícil."En: "Since... well, since we parted, it's been difficult."Es: Las palabras de Salvador colgaron en el aire, tan pesadas como las nubes antes de la lluvia.En: Salvador's words hung in the air, as heavy as clouds before the rain.Es: "Salvador, lamento cómo terminó todo," dijo Marisol, su voz sincera.En: "Salvador, I'm sorry for how it all ended," said Marisol, her voice sincere.Es: "Pasé mucho tiempo pensando en lo que podría haber hecho diferente."En: "I spent a lot of time thinking about what I could have done differently."Es: Él asintió, su mirada se suavizó.En: He nodded, his gaze softened.Es: "Siempre has sido mi musa, Marisol.En: "You have always been my muse, Marisol.Es: Sin ti, es como intentar pintar sin colores."En: Without you, it's like trying to paint without colors."Es: Marisol sintió una punzada de nostalgia por lo que fue.En: Marisol felt a pang of nostalgia for what was.Es: "Significabas mucho para mí, y siempre tendrás un lugar especial en mi vida, pero necesitamos seguir adelante."En: "You meant a lot to me, and you will always have a special place in my life, but we need to move forward."Es: A medida que el festival alcanzaba su clímax, ambos entendieron que ese era su momento para dejar ir el pasado.En: As the festival reached its climax, both understood that this was their moment to let go of the past.Es: Las palabras de despedida fueron suaves, casi como un susurro entre las flores del parque.En: The words of farewell were soft, almost like a whisper among the flowers of the park.Es: Cuando se separaron, había una nueva comprensión en sus corazones.En: When they parted, there was a new understanding in their hearts.Es: Salvador caminó hacia el camino del descubrimiento artístico, sabiendo que el adiós le ofrecía otra oportunidad para encontrar su verdadera voz.En: Salvador walked towards the path of artistic discovery, knowing that the goodbye offered him another chance to find his true voice.Es: Por su parte, Marisol sintió que finalmente podía celebrar sus logros con todo su corazón, sin remordimientos que ensombrecieran su éxito.En: For her part, Marisol felt that she could finally celebrate her achievements with all her heart, without regrets overshadowing her success.Es: El parque

Some names feel harmless—until you speak them out loud. For her, that name was Jerry. Or maybe it was Miguel. She still isn't sure which one is real… or which one answered her that night. After moving into a new house in Denver, she believed the presence that haunted her childhood home was finally behind her. But it followed. This time, Jerry didn't come alone—there was another figure she called Bobby. The haunting began with small things: a framed Art Festival picture that seemed to change on its own, Shakespeare's tiny portrait shifting expressions, sometimes replaced with a face that wasn't human at all. As a child, she noticed it first. Years later, the same unease returned in Denver—cold drafts in warm rooms, the metallic scent of iron, the sound of a cough coming from empty hallways. The most terrifying moment came when she dared to say the name “Miguel” out loud—only to feel the air turn frigid, as if something unseen had crept up behind her to listen. This is a haunting that followed her across state lines and, a presence that seems to respond to a name she's now afraid to speak. #GhostStories #JerryTheHaunting #HauntedByNames #ShadowFigures #ParanormalStory #SleepParalysisOrNot #HauntedObjects #DarkPresence #TrueHaunting #NameThatShouldNotBeSpoken Love real ghost stories?

Today’s Peoples Bank Let’s Talk Indianola features Bob Kling about the 2025 Indianola Art Festival.

Hello, music lovers!  Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives.  I'm your host, Jeff Miers. On today's episode, we're celebrating the Goo Goo Dolls, and in particular, the 30th anniversary of their mainstream breakthrough album, A Boy Named Goo.  Though the band had already been around for a decade by the time they released this album, which would go on to reach double platinum sales status, A Boy Named Goo pushed the band over the edge, largely on the strength of the timeless hit, Name.  This summer, the band is on the road, co-headlining the Summer Anthem Tour, alongside Dashboard Confessional. That tour hits KeyBank Center in Buffalo on August 9 - nearly 30 years after the Goos played the very first show in what was then known as Marine Midland Arena, on September 21, 1996.  I caught up with Goos co-founder and bassist Robby Takac from the road, a few days into the Summer Anthem Tour, and we talked about A Boy Named Goo; the new generation of Goo Goo Dolls fans who discovered the band through social media outlets; the level of excitement surrounding this summer's shows; his upcoming Music is Art Festival - which takes place in and around the Terminal B Amphitheater on Buffalo's Outer Harbor on Saturday, September 20 - and the whole long, strange, and largely wonderful trip that has led the Goo Goo Dolls from the stages of Buffalo clubs to the arenas of the world.  Welcome back to Why Music Matters, Robby Takac!  Produced by 678Main Studio and Creative Services https://678main.com

On this edition of Score Values Alex Kuhn chats with 3x Paralympic Athlete Jessica Heims ahead of the GLASA Great Lakes Games & Marcy Huttas, Executive Director of the Old Town Merchant Residents Association about the upcoming Wells Street Art Festival.

En parallèle de notre courte interview du grand John Romita Jr., c'est un autre géant de la bande dessinée américaine que nous avons pu rencontrer à la dernière édition du Lake Como Comic Art Festival : l'immense Bill Sienkiewicz, par ailleurs créateur du design du logo du salon. Le dessinateur vedette était très occupé tout le weekend - malgré ses tarifs de signatures quelque peu prohibitifs, mais nous avons tout de même réussi à lui prendre une vingtaine de minutes le dimanche, alors que tout le monde rangeait ses affaires, et que Bill lui-même savourait une coupe de champagne. Une interview un peu "brute" sur la forme, mais qui n'en reste pas moins intéressante sur le fond !Bill Sienkiewicz est sur First Print !L'artiste qui a réinventé l'art de faire des comics depuis les New Mutants n'a jamais cessé de dessiner, et est même passé faire preuve de son talent dans d'autres univers artistiques, que ce soit la musique ou le cinéma. Avec le peu de temps dont nous disposions, nous avons essayé de brosser un léger portrait de l'artiste, avec ses préoccupations actuelles sur le monde du dessin (pensez IA) et ses envies de bande dessinée pour ce qui seront les dernières années d'une très belle carrière. On est ravis de vous proposer cette interview, que vous pourrez également retrouver en français et à l'écrit sur Comicsblog.fr.Si vous appréciez le travail effectué avec ces podcasts, vous pouvez le faire savoir en parlant du podcast autour de vous, en commentant sur nos plateformes ou sur notre site, en rejoignant notre communauté sur Discord, et en nous soutenant sur notre Tipee !

Parmi les grands pontes de la bande dessinée américaine qu'on a essayé d'interviewer pendant pas mal de temps sans jamais réussir, John Romita Jr. est sûrement parmi les plus difficiles d'accès... du moins, par les voies traditionnelles - soit en attendant sa présence en France sur un festival ou une dédicace, où à chaque fois on nous expliquait que l'artiste était trop occupé et préférait consacrer son temps à autre chose qu'à des interviews. Mais le dessinateur était présent aussi ce printemps au Lake Como Comic Art Festival, et au vu du contexte particulièrement détendu du festival, on s'est dit qu'on ne perdrait rien à tenter une (petite) interview directement à la table de l'artiste... et miracle, c'est bien ce qu'il s'est passé !John Romita Jr. est sur First Print !Nous avons donc le plaisir de vous présenter cette courte interview de John Romita Jr. ou nous avons tenté de faire du mieux sur le peu de temps que nous avions pour lui poser des question qui seraient pertinentes. Sans pouvoir retracer l'entièreté de sa carrière, nous avons voulu revenir sur sa forme actuelle, son envie de continue de dessiner des pages intérieures alors qu'avec son statut, il pourrait faire comme d'autres de ses collègues et se contenter de couvertures ou de commissions. A priori, John Romita Jr. a plutôt apprécié les questions posées ! Une version écrite en français de cette interview est également à retrouver sur Comicsblog.fr si vous préférez ce format.Si vous appréciez tout le travail fourni sur First Print et que vous souhaitez soutenir le podcast, n'hésitez pas à partager cette interview, à commenter ou vous le pouvez, et à nous soutenir également via notre Tipeee afin que l'on puisse poursuivre cette grande aventure qu'est First Print sur le temps le plus long possible !

According to a September 2023 Pew Research Center survey, more than one in five Black adults in the United States believe that owning a business is essential for achieving financial success. Although Black-owned businesses have experienced significant growth in recent years, they still represent a small percentage of overall firms and revenue in the U.S., based on our analysis of federal data.   In 2021, majority Black-owned businesses accounted for only about 3% of all U.S. firms that could be classified by the race and ethnicity of their owners. These businesses generated just 1% of the total gross revenue from all classifiable companies that year, while roughly 14% of the American population identified as Black.   In 2021, Black or African American majority-owned firms provided income for approximately 1.4 million workers, with estimated annual payrolls of $53.6 billion. However, most Black-owned firms tend to be smaller enterprises. Two-thirds of these businesses had fewer than 10 employees, 13% had between 10 and 49 employees, and only 3% had 50 or more employees. Additionally, 16% reported having no employees at all (employment size is determined by the number of paid workers during the March 12 pay period according to the ABS).   Arias WebsterBerry is a seasoned entrepreneur, digital marketing expert, and certified Scrum Master with over a decade of experience. He is the founder of WebsterBerry Marketing, an agency that redefines digital marketing, and Ignite Funnels, a platform dedicated to accelerating business growth. Arias's influence extends beyond marketing; he is a Master Sales Coach who has trained and developed over 400 sales professionals, collectively generating over $112 million in revenue for various companies.   Notably, Arias served as the Executive Producer of the Hip Hop 101 Music and Art Festival, a groundbreaking event that featured Grammy Award-winning artists such as Janelle Monáe, Common, Ludacris, and Mix Master Mike from the Beastie Boys. This festival celebrated artistic achievements and embraced Hip-Hop culture through music, art, and lyrics, earning Arias a commendation from the Los Angeles City Council for his exceptional contributions to the arts.   Arias's journey is characterized by a dedication to excellence and a commitment to helping businesses thrive. He is a mentor, visionary, and thought leader in digital marketing. His passion for entrepreneurship has led him to create ventures like Launch Ignition AI: Business Accelerator.   For more information: https://www.websterberrymarketing.com/  Discover more: https://ariaswebsterberry.com/
