SUMMARY:Film Screening of “Sitting Still”: a 90-Minute Documentary Film Featuring Laurie Olin
DESCRIPTION:Laurie Olin is responsible for designing many of the most beloved parks\, gardens and public spaces in the country\, including the Washington Monument grounds\, the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden\, the Getty Center gardens\, Battery Park City Masterplan\, Columbus Circle\, Bryant Park\, and Independence National Historic Park\, to name a few. His imprint on cityscapes extends all over the world\, most notably Canary Wharf and Bishop’s Gate in London\, Villa Olimpica in Barcelona\, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. \nArtist\, scholar\, landscape architect\, and fine artist\, Olin is one of the most significant urban designers of our time\, winning him many notable distinctions\, including the National Medal of the Arts from President Obama. The film uses Olin’s original paintings and drawings as a visual thread throughout the film. These works of art establish a rhythm\, creating moments of stillness within the movement of the piece. Just as parks in the city become tranquil spaces in all the flurry\, Olin’s artwork establishes critical pauses in the film\, reminding us that one of the best methods to learn from the world is to observe it by sitting still.\nGina M. Angelone directed\, produced and wrote the film.

SUMMARY:SHELBY MEANS WITH OTTER OPRY AT MONTEREY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
DESCRIPTION:Somebody extra special will be taking center stage at Otter Opry on Tuesday\, May 12th – none other than Shelby Means herself! Born in Kentucky and raised on Wyoming’s high plains\, Means is one of the foremost bassists in bluegrass\, with nearly two decades of experience in bluegrass\, folk\, rock\, Americana\, and country outfits. Together with Joel Timmons on guitar\, Jacob Means on mandolin\, and George Guthrie on banjo\, she’ll be making some mighty fine music right here in Monterey.\nMeans grew up playing bluegrass with her family\, moved to Nashville after college\, and has made a life and a living off her singular\, self-possessed approach to the upright bass. During her dozen years in Nashville\, she performed most notably as a member of the GRAMMY®-nominated all-women bluegrass band Della Mae. She later joined Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway on bass and vocals\, earning her first GRAMMY® win for their 2023 album\, City of Gold.\nShelby Means is a driving player with a singular stage presence and a magnetic\, centered approach to the upright bass. Beyond her work on the instrument\, she’s also an accomplished songwriter and a heartfelt vocalist whose voice is rooted in tradition while authentically her own. With her debut solo music\, Means invites listeners to experience the same soulful presence and adventurous spirit she has built her career on.\nThis is a bluegrass experience you won’t want to miss\, and you can make it even more special with a ranch chicken dish dinner before the show ($15 in advance\, $20 after May 9th). Online sales will end at 11am the day of the performance.\n7pm. Monterey United Methodist Church\, 1 Soledad Drive\, Monterey. $35/show (CBA members $30; 15 and under free). www.otteropry.org
