    FIRST SUNDAYS AT RAM WITH KAREN RAE KRAUT

    FIRST SUNDAYS AT RAM WITH KAREN RAE KRAUT


    March 3, 2019

    On Sunday, March 3, from 2-2:30 p.m., join us for a delightful performance by Karen Rae Kraut. This event will be held at Riverside Art Museum downtown, located at 3425 Mission Inn Avenue.
    On the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Women’s History Month, Karen Rae Kraut shares folk tales centering on brave women who match wits with powerful adversaries. We’ll also learn why it’s so difficult to keep a secret! Audience members will have the opportunity to provide musical accompaniment on a dizzying array of rhythm instruments.
    "What distinguishes a truly 'creative' teller is her ability to create something so deliciously new and unique with words and art so traditionally and classically celebrated. I was mesmerized; and your playful ways of getting us involved as only you can do added such wonderful balance to such a mysterious and profound tale." —Jim Cogan, Tellabration
    "I was struck by the transformative power of this kind of program. Especially pronounced was the change on the look of the faces of the adults who, for a while, stepped into another world and lightened and filled their spirits."
    —Karen Delshad, Fairview Branch Library, Santa Monica
     Check out other exciting First Sundays activities at the RAM. April 7th, Karen Rae Kraut’s story, “When the Monkeys Came Back,” will highlight the value of nature, setting the tone for Earth day later in the month. And on May 5, she will celebrate the spring season with the Native American story, “Grandmother Spider Brings the Light.”
    Karen Rae Kraut is an award-winning family performing artist, storyteller, variety entertainer, comedienne, singer, teaching artist and workshop presenter. Her shows include adaptations of world folktales, music, songs, movement, and her own special brand of audience participation. She has performed for school, library, and community audiences since 1990 from California to East Tennessee.

    IE EXPERIMENTS: SHORT FILMS FROM INLAND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA


    March 9, 2019

    On March 9, 2019 experience IE Experiments: Short Films from Inland Southern California, which explores the ways in which filmmakers and artists have discovered and experienced Inland Southern California.
    IE Experiments is anchored by Stan Brakhage's 1976 experimental short Desert, a film centered on Riverside, CA subverting the filmmaker's expectation of finding a desert landscape but discovering a suburban landscape.
    The program explores subsequent filmic encounters artists have had with the region and the various expectations that were met or upended. The program will include works by Kate Alexandrite, Nathan Bockelman, Anna Wittenberg, Paul Kelley, Terry Chatkupt, Dicky Bahto, and Olivia Leiter. Several of the filmmakers will be present for a Q&A!
    Desert screened on 16mm, all other works screened digitally.
    This event is free and open to the public. The Gallery Tour starts at 2:00 p.m. followed by the screening at 3:00 p.m.
    Programming in conjunction with the exhibition In the Sunshine of Neglect, a joint exhibition held concurrently at the California Museum of Photography at UCR ARTS & Riverside Art Museum. Catalogue published by Inlandia Institute.
    This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org.
    The Culver Center is located at 3834 Main St, Riverside, CA 92501.
