New artwork displayed at the Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery in Arnold

The Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery brings a lift of color to the Meadowmont Shopping Center in Arnold. During the month of March, you’ll be able to enjoy and purchase the paintings of Christa Dodd and Deborah Marlene, shown in a window display at the east side of the shopping center.

Dodd looks to nature and travel for her inspiration. She seeks to express how each environment makes her feel through brush strokes and use of color.  She also enjoys painting whimsical animals from Calaveras County, like bears and foxes.

Intense colors dominate Marlene’s paintings of the beauty in nature.  She has lived in the Central Sierra for 28 years, and she is influenced by the natural beauty she finds around her. Her primary medium is watercolor, which she began using 27 years ago.

The Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery is window space graciously donated by the Meadowmont Shopping Center where Arts of Bear Valley artists exhibit their work to the public. Artwork is for sale; information at the window gallery gives instructions to purchase the artwork, or you can contact Dodds at christakdodd@gmail.com or Marlene at dmarlenek@yahoo.com or www.deborahmarlenes.com to learn more about their work and purchase directly from them.

Arts of Bear Valley is a local association devoted to developing and promoting the visual arts along the Upper Highway 4 corridor in Calaveras and Alpine counties. Learn more about Arts of Bear Valley at www.aobv.com

07:00 AM Dandelion Days 2023
Jackson, CA... The Annual St. Patrick's Day Dandelion Days Celebration is a family-oriented event, and it's lots of fun! It includes an outdoor bazaar and street fair featuring antiques, relics and collectibles, arts and crafts, and much more: 2 days of live music on 2 stages, a Beer & Wine Garden, lots of fun food, and kids' carnival rides. A pancake, ham and egg breakfast located at the Jackson Civic Center, kicks off both March 18th & 19th's activities at 7:00 am (or there about). But Dandelion Days is also known for its rich local community flavor, one thing that makes it so popular. In fact, a great many attendees come from outside the county to join the fun! Not least of all, Dandelion Days is the Jackson Lions Club's largest fund-raising event and benefits student scholarships and community events.

Would you like to volunteer some time to help?

Murphys Irish Day is in need of many good folks willing to donate a ‘wee bit of the’ time’ as we celebrate the importance of the town’s Irish heritage in the Mother Lode. Leprechauns are needed for a variety of Irish Day volunteer assignments, including road closure barricade staffing, raffle, set-up, Irish Pub and Wine Garden (wenches and all good Irish folk!), children’s park activities, street fair, stages, set-up before opening day festivities and other ongoing activities during the fun-filled event.

Please contact the Murphys Business Association to be part of our Irish Crew. Our volunteers will receive special recognition with  an invitation to our volunteer party. Murphys Irish Day is the major fundraiser for many community non-profit organizations and projects and volunteers contribute greatly to the success of our event!
