2 1:30 pm: SECRET INLAND EMPIRE: A CONVERSATION WITH CATHY ALLEN, PHIL YEH, LUKE JACKSON AND LARRY BURNS 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm June 2, 2019 Giant apple-slice-painted rocks. The McDonald’s Museum’s twelve-foot mural homage to San Bernardino. In all the stunning, peculiar, and non-traditional ways it wants, the Inland Empire feeds art right into our every day lives! Larry Burns' new book, Secret Inland Empire, explores the intersection of art and commerce. Join us for a lively discussion moderated by Burns in conversation with Cathy Allen, Phil Yeh, and Luke Jackson, on creative ingenuity and inspired community. This event will be held Sunday, June 2, at 1:30 p.m., at the Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts downtown, located at 3824 Main Street, Riverside. Cathy Allen is primarily a mixed-media assemblage sculptor, but also explores site-specific installations, earthworks, altered books, experimental sound, and performance art. Her most recent creation is Sunvale Village, a Mojave Desert based multi-media work that includes sculptural installations and written narratives about a community for the small. She has an MFA degree from The Claremont Graduate University and a BFA degree from Otis/Parsons Art Institute, and is currently a Fine Arts professor for Copper Mountain College in Joshua Tree, CA. Phil Yeh, founder of Cartoonists Across America & the World, has painted murals in 49 states and 18 countries since 1985. Most of his murals promote literacy and creativity and are done in 1 -13 days. The murals on the outside of the McDonald’s museum in San Bernardino have been painted for the last 7 years and focus on the history and geography of the area. Yeh also writes and draws graphic novels and paints watercolors. Luke Jackson is an artist and entrepreneur native to Riverside California. He is a founding member of Mind & Mill, curator of Toil Gallery and owner of Frequency Factory Studios. After returning home from school in Hollywood, he set out to build more art and music infrastructure in his hometown and share native talent abroad. With the goal of bridging the gaps between art and commerce, he spends most of his time working with artists and musicians to bring their ideas to life and inject them into the world. If art is to serve a community, it must be facilitated by that community. Larry Burns draws inspiration and ideas from the heady mixture of sights, sounds, peoples, and places of his hometown, Riverside, California. He is an active community leader, booster, and all-around fan of the recreation, entertainment, arts, and culture ready to be discovered across the Inland Empire. He fears and welcomes a future run by sentient robots, and wonders what they will talk about and do for fun when they are in charge. He is a founding member of the Inlandia Institute, a non-profit literary organization. He teaches English at Riverside City College and Humanities at Southern New Hampshire University. His second book with Reedy Press Publishers, Secret Inland Empire, is available through Barnes & Noble and other booksellers in May 2019. Limited seating. To reserve a seat, please email Inlandia@InlandiaInstitute.org. Conversation will be followed by light refreshments, book sales, and signing. This event is free and open to the public.

Over the course of two weeks in June, young people will participate in courses on spoken word, comics poetry, poetic form, and the institute will culminate in a public reading and collaborative performance, in addition to a published anthology. Free, healthy meals and snacks, and writing materials will be provided for all participants. The mentor faculty who will be teaching this summer are award-winning and critically acclaimed poets and authors, in addition to junior faculty who are studying creative writing in local colleges and universities. Poetry is Power Teen Institute is sponsored by the Literary Laureate and Inlandia Institute During this program, teen writers from ages 12-17 will participate in writing workshops where they will generate their own work, read a variety of dynamic poems and stories, then produce an anthology of their original writing and perform for their family and friends. Topics will range from spoken word poetry, poetry comics, and more. The program will be taught by award-winning, experienced mentor faculty writers, including Isabel Quintero, author of Gabi: A Girl in Pieces, and junior faculty members who are undergraduate and graduate students from the local colleges and universities. Poetry is Power is based on the principles of mentorship, creativity, youth empowerment, and community engagement. FAQ What are the dates for the program? June 21, 24, 26, and 28 from 10 am – 2 pm Who is eligible to participate, and what do you foresee them getting out of it? Middle and high school young people are invited to participate, especially students who live in the San Bernardino area, which is considered an underserved community specifically in the literary arts. Youth participants will gain connection and community, a chance to access their creativity and to tell their important and unique stories, an opportunity to gain serious and considered feedback on their writing, and their names and poems/stories published in a physical book. How should interested teens reach out to get on the list? For interested teens and their families, they can fill out this interest form, follow the Inlandia Literary Laureate Instagram account at @inlandialitlaureate, or shoot Rachelle an email at inlandialitlaureate@gmail.com. How can the community help you get the word out? You can share this opportunity with educators or school administrators you know, and share about it on your social media. What else can I do to help? If anyone is moved by this project to donate monetarily, they can send a check to Inlandia Institute and mark it for Poetry is Power. We will use the funds for printing anthologies, notebooks, writing utensils, books, transportation for teens, and more. We’re also looking to provide healthy meals for our teen writers this summer, so we’d happily accept gift cards for grocery stores, or local cafes and restaurants.
