Massy Ferguson at Animal Acres Park July 6, 7 pm

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Massy Ferguson
Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and Aljoya Present:
The 2011 Summer of Fun Concerts in the Park Series
Featuring: Massy Ferguson
Wednesday, July 6, 7p.m.
Animal Acres Park in Lake Forest Park

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council invites you to celebrate the arrival of summer as we present Massy Ferguson on July 6 at 7 p.m. at Animal Acres Park in Lake Forest Park. 

This is the first official park concert of our 2011 Summer of Fun Concerts in the Park Series. Massy Ferguson is one of the rising stars of the Seattle music scene, playing major festivals like Bumbershoot, and touring extensively. Their sound is eclectic, a bit dark, thoughtful and fun. Grab some friends and a picnic and come on down to this exciting, family friendly show. Rain or shine, the entertainment will be fine!

More on Massy Ferguson:
Also known as "the People's Band," this roots Americana quartet combines steady, blue-collar alt-country with Southern rock and an everyman ethos that has helped it land gigs all over the world. -- Shawn Telford, Seattle PI

Singer-bassist Ethan Anderson says Massy Ferguson’s sound is Americana that leans more toward rock than country, and that's a pretty good description. Think Drive-By Truckers or some combination of Son Volt and The Hold Steady. Think Springsteen's "Greetings From Asbury Park" or "Nebraska." Those are all influences, as is 1970s Southern rock and good-time classic rock bands like Thin Lizzy.
If that means Massy Ferguson is derivative, well, that's partly true. It doesn't really matter, though, because the songs, if not particularly groundbreaking, are just plain good.

Animal Acres Park is located at NE 178th St. and Brookside Blvd in Lake Forest Park. Information about these and other Arts Council events and programs is available here or by calling the SLFPAC at 206-417-4645. Concerts in the Park are sponsored by Aljoya Contemporary Senior Living and the cities of Lake Forest Park and Shoreline and 4Culture.

Shoreline City Hall Gallery: Brush with Nature, May 4 - July 29

Friday, April 29, 2011

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and the City of Shoreline present: Brush with Nature, May 4, 2011 – July 29, 2011, Open Monday-Friday 9 - 5.

The public is invited to an Open House to meet the artists on Tuesday May 17, 5:30-7:00 p.m. at Shoreline City Hall, N 175th St and Midvale Ave N. (date change)

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and the City of Shoreline present a new exhibit, Brush with Nature, featuring paintings by Fran Holt, d’Elaine Johnson, Jan Pollard and photography by Ellen Witebsky.


Fran Holt
Holt’s paintings stem from a chance encounter with a book of carousel horse photos, discovered at a second hand store and have triggered a two-year art exploration about carousel horses. At first, the paintings were simply a celebration of my childhood spent in Maryland, where the carousel at Ocean City was a great treat. Later, the paintings evolved into imagining life from the horses’ point of view. More about her work can be found here  

d'Elaine Johnson
d’Elaine Johnson
Johnson’s paintings focus on the principals of water. They are concerned with the cycles of fortune, wheels of justice, departures or banishments and returns, regeneration and rebirth. She comments, "My art form ties all life on this planet together in a universal context through the seas, where life began and today connects all as one.” Website


Jan Pollard
Shoreline artist Jan Pollard, like Holt is also fascinated by horses. “I enjoy painting any subject matter that has a rhythm and flow. That is why horses and the human form are particular favorites of mine. Although my work is becoming more and more abstract, living things are still a basis for most of my paintings.”



Ellen Witebsky
Ellen Witebsky
Witebsky’s manipulated photographs of nature around us play into what she sees happening in the world. “We love nature. We revere nature. Yet we insist on tinkering with it, turning it into something not quite natural. This series explores — with a sense of fun and whimsy — our compulsion to make changes to the natural world and the objects in it.” Her work can be viewed here.

In addition, small works by local sculptors will be displayed on pedestals recently purchased with a generous grant from King County 4Culture and the City’s 1% for Art program.

This exhibit runs from May 4 through July 29, 2011 at the Shoreline City Hall Gallery. The Gallery at City Hall may be viewed any time during regular hours, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5 pm except holidays. The Shoreline City Hall is located at 17500 Midvale Ave. N, Shoreline, WA 98133. For more information please contact the Arts Council at 206-417-4645.

Gail Pettis headlines the Gala for the Arts, Friday June 25

Sunday, June 13, 2010

Four-time nominee and 2007 winner of Earshot Golden Ear Awards "Northwest Vocalist of the Year," Gail's rich, warm vocals and understated phrasing have been described as "deliciously soulful" by Cadence Magazine. Attendees at the Shoreline / Lake Forest Park Arts Council "Gala for the Arts" will have a chance to hear this for themselves, as she headlines the event on Friday, June 25 at the Shoreline Center.

A native of Henderson, Kentucky, Gail moved to Seattle in 1996 by way of Memphis, Tennessee. She spent her days chair-side in her orthodontics practice and her evenings with a new-found hobby of West Coast Swing dancing, having become attracted to this particular style of swing because it afforded the opportunity to respond to the music with a partner rather than only dancing through patterns. When an injury took her off the dance floor in 1996, she began looking for other creative outlets, including a jazz workshop led by Seattle saxophonist Darren Motamedy. In this class, Gail was delighted to discover within jazz there were similar opportunities to interact with the music and with fellow musicians. With Motamedy’s encouragement, she continued to pursue her new passion by participating in jam sessions and also through private study, eventually selling her orthodontic practice in 2006.

Gail’s debut CD, May I Come In?, (Origin/OA2 Records, 2007), was given a warm reception by XM Satellite Radio and Music Choice Television as well as by stations across the United States and in Germany and Portugal. This recording was nominated for Earshot’s Golden Ear award “2007 Northwest Recording of the Year”. The eagerly awaited sophomore recording, “Here in the Moment", was released in January 2010 on Origin/OA2 Records. Gail’s refreshing readings of standard songs have been embraced by listeners, placing this CD at #5 on the JazzWeek National Airplay Chart as reported for the week of March 8, 2010.

Iris and Lemons, by Amy Pleasant

Amy Pleasant

The journey to painter has been a crooked path. Although I have filled my life with art, both admiring it and producing it, I did not start painting until 2000. My vocation as a middle school teacher was interrupted with a faint call in the direction of my dreams. My paintings became my own language; a visual language, surely influenced by those who came before, but sill uniquely me. For the painter this expression becomes as much a part of life as talking and listening. It is all the more rewarding if others share in the emotion which brought about the work in the first place. 



Flutter by Betsy Best-Spadaro

Betsy Best-Spadaro

I’ve spent 20 years raising children, all the while fitting “artist” into the mix of diapers, housework, bedtime stories and the PTA. Even my medium, relief printmaking, was chosen for the ease with which it blended into domestic life. I learned early on that while supervising homework it is much easier to stand at the kitchen counter and carve a block than to be out in the garage working on a canvas.

My artist work reflects what I have experienced and observed in my every day life. In my relief prints I’ve explored the balance between obligation and desire, power struggles in intimate relationships, the lengths to which one will go to create security or suppress guilt, the joyous uncertainly of raising children. In my work I hope to leave a viewer with a sense of shared experience as well as a heightened awareness of the roles we play.

Proceeds from the Gallery at Towne Centre help fund these programs and events. For more information please contact the Arts Council at 206-417-4645 or visit us online.
