German-born artist Max Ernst was a key figure in the movements of Dada and Surrealism that took place in Europe in early part of the 20th century. This exhibition highlights Ernst’s role in the development of these historical art movements through a selection of sculptures, prints, and a series of tapestries by Yvette Cauquil-Prince, who worked closely with the artist to translate his paintings into large-scale woven textiles. With a number of rarely exhibited works from Ernst’s wide-spanning career, the experience will provide windows of insight into his working process and his life spent in Sedona, including original concrete frieze sculptures that were embedded into the walls of his home. The exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Admission is free. The exhibit will be closed the following days: April 19, April 27, May 10-11, and May 18.

Women in Power: Polynesian Political Leadership in the Nineteenth CenturyThe nineteenth century was an era of profound change for Polynesian peoples. European and American circumnavigators, followed by merchants, missionaries, and diplomats, flooded the coasts of Pacific Island nations. At the forefront of these early encounters were Polynesian female chiefs who held their own political ambitions and welcomed the foreigners onto their beaches. In these exchanges Polynesian women demonstrated a powerful political acumen consistently misunderstood by Western monarchs and politicians. The strength and wisdom of these women leaders, coupled with their unwavering loyalty to the Polynesian people, continue to serve as powerful examples of true statesmanship.The talk will be on Zoom at this link:Zoom LinkMeeting ID: 834 5996 6594Passcode: archives

Mid-Pacific School of the Arts presents the captivating world of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," reimagined with a twist set in an all-girls school of the 1950s. Witness the gripping tale of suspicion and hysteria unfold as the halls of this prestigious institution become the stage for a compelling exploration of power, fear, and accusation.
In this adaptation, the familiar characters of Salem grapple with the pressures of a conservative 1950s society, where conformity reigns supreme and dissent is met with harsh consequences. Follow the struggles of young women navigating friendship, authority, and the pursuit of truth in a world where secrets lurk behind every corner.
Experience Miller's masterful storytelling as timeless themes of betrayal and justice unfold against the backdrop of a strict all-girls school environment. With powerful performances and immersive atmosphere, this production promises to be an unforgettable journey into the heart of human nature and the dangers of unchecked power. Join us as we uncover the secrets beneath the surface and discover the true cost of seeking justice in a world consumed by fear.
