Palm Springs Indian Market Debuts at Palm Springs Arts Festival February Show

Artesanos de Valle by Amado Pena, Jr.

Mission Viejo, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2011

Beginning February 18, 2011, visitors will discover both the traditional and the next creative step of our First Americans’ artistic view. October Featured Artist, Amado Peña, Jr., will display his always breath-taking iconic Southwestern drawings. Noted Cherokee artist Patricia McAllister will display her modern vision of the Plains and Woodland experience. And a number of the next generation will bring 21st Century versions of traditional Salish art from the Northwest, traditional Isleta Pueblo pottery and modern Navajo drawings, along with exquisite jewelry, buckles and belts of Navajo and Santo Domingo Pueblo design; and more.

Headlining the show within a show is internationally famous Amado Peña, Jr., returning to Palm Springs Arts Festival with his distinctive Southwest images. Amado’s art (viewable at http://penagallery.com) celebrates the strength of the Native American peoples of the Southwest, who met the harsh realities of life in an uncompromising land. His work is a tribute to those who survived by living in harmony with an adversarial, untamed environment.

Also returning is noted Cherokee painter, Patricia McAllister of Arizona, whose paintings have wide appeal among women and horse lovers. “I couldn’t resist. I wasn’t planning on buying anything this time, but I had to have her watercolors!” said Sharon from Mission Viejo, California, at the January Palm Springs Arts Festival. Many of the faces in Pat’s portraitures are from her own family; that connection is possibly why her art tugs at our own hearts.

The Native American artists joining Amado and Pat have been recognized as exceptional, evidenced by their selection by jury to display for the Autry Museum Indian Market, Heard Museum and “The Gathering” shows.

Abraham Begay is considered by the Dine (Navajo) nation as one of the leading silver jewelry makers of his time. He has won awards for his outstanding jewelry work at Native American shows across the United States. He specializes in traditional and contemporary art, 14k, Sterling Silver, set stones, and inlay jewelry. His silversmithing and design is exceptional. He is based in northern Arizona.

James and Doris Coriz of Santo Domingo Pueblo, New Mexico, make jewelry in the traditional Santo Domingo way and use excellent Kingman and Sleeping Beauty Turquoise. They are famous for their skill in making hand rolled and cut beads known as “heishi”. Made from shell, turquoise, and other stones, they are painstakingly cut by hand into delicate beads and strung on necklaces. They each learned the art of jewelry making from their parents and have taught it to their children; truly a family affair.

Peter Boome is an enrolled member of the Upper Skagit Tribe in Washington State; and an enrolled member of the U of Washington Law School. Peter specializes in Coast Salish designs in several mediums. In addition to the Salish designs, he also creates Contemporary Intertribal Art, this influence stems from spending the latter portion of his childhood on the Northern Ute Reservation in Utah.

Rowan Harrison of Navajo and Islata Pueblo heritage. Living in Fullerton, California, he practices his art in the mediums of ceramics, painting, drawing and pottery making and considers ceramics and pottery his most proficient skills. Yet his pottery would not be as beautiful without that drawing and painting talent. His hand-built pottery is burnished smooth so the paint will flow freely. Each piece is hand painted, orchestrating inspired patterns across the surface, capturing something fresh and innovative.

Starting a new tradition within the Palm Springs Arts Festival, this Indian Market will be an integral event each February festival.

On February 18-20, 2011, at the Festival Grounds in Palm Springs, 125 fine artists and artisans will display a wide variety of both fine art and quality craft offering every level of art lover the perfect opportunity to begin or to add to a collection and meet the works’ creator. Featuring contemporary watercolor and oil paintings to Southwestern pottery and images, Navajo and custom jewelry to monumental sculpture and wildly colored glass art to photography and much more to dazzle your eyes!

Relax in the Beer and Wine Garden presented by the Palm Springs Lions Club while enjoying a variety of vintage music. International recording stars. Evaro Family, Palm Spring High alumni and honorees of a Star on the Palm Spring Walk of Stars, along with others, will entertain each day. To ensure that you have the energy to see all the artists, delectable food and drink are available in the food court.

Northwest Arizona Land is Now More Accessible — Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge Shortens Drive Between Fun and Freedom

Meadview, AZ (PRWEB) October 29, 2010

The October 19 opening of the segment of US 93 formerly known as the Hoover Dam Bypass has shortened the drive time between Las Vegas, Nevada and Mohave County, Arizona locales.

The opening of the new corridor, designed to decrease congestion on US 93 (a North American Free Trade Agreement route), means that current and future residents of northwestern Arizona can reduce their travel time between their properties and Las Vegas—and points in between—by a half hour.

The boost in travel efficiency also means that there is now increased accessibility to desirable Mohave County land, and demand for that land is anticipated to rise. One company that is already providing access to this newly more accessible property is Land4You.

Land4You – website: http://www.Land4You.net – offers easy access to Mohave County, Arizona land which is ideal for a vacation or retirement getaway. The land, located in expansive Northwest Arizona, allows property owners to immerse themselves in natural wonder, free from the hustle and bustle of urban dwelling. Access to recreation opportunities including hiking and camping in the Hualapai Mountains, skiing, and the aquatic activities of Lake Mead are convenient from Land4You properties.

With the opening of the US 93 corridor, owners of Land4You property will be able to fully take advantage of everything that the area has to offer. They will be able to spend the day free-roaming pristine Arizona backcountry and spend the evening living the fun life in Las Vegas with minimal drive time between their vacation or retirement retreat and Nevada’s famous, fun-filled city.

The location of these properties is exceptional. While still maintaining its rural charm, just 30-35 minutes from the growing community of Kingman, AZ, or only 35-40 minutes from the lake community of Lake Havasu City, AZ. Also within an hour’s drive is Laughlin, NV a mini Las Vegas style gaming town on the scenic Colorado River. The snow country of Flagstaff (for skiing) is approximately 2 ½ hours. Las Vegas, NV is about a 90 minute drive; Phoenix, AZ is just over 3 hours, and for that matter, Los Angeles, CA is only 4 ½ hours away. You could spend the rest of your life exploring all the wonders of Arizona, and the magnificent Southwest!

Long before the opening of the Hoover Dam Bypass, Land4You saw the potential of Northwestern Arizona land. As a result, the company is “ahead of the curve” and perfectly positioned to offer easy access to great land, at great rates. Land4You parcels are each staked, surveyed and have electricity running along their borders, making it simple to take advantage of newly opened development areas before demand and prices start to skyrocket.

Taking advantage of pre-boom prices is a breeze with Land4You. The company offers direct, low-cost financing, and, because new property owners are working directly with Land4You, down payments are affordable. Direct owner-financing also means that interest is low, fees are nonexistent, and credit history is less of a factor.

Now that the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge is open, it is likely that more developers will be coming into northwestern Arizona. However, it is not a coincidence that Land4You had the foresight to make this exceptional land available now. Land4You’s Ron Freeman is a licensed real estate broker with over 30 years experience in investment land transactions. That kind of experience enables buyers to be confident in Land4You. Land4you has also prepared an article entitled: 10 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Land and can be accessed here.

With the opening of the Hoover Dam Bypass, the transition time between the free-form fun of a restful rural retreat and the exciting entertainment of one of America’s most dynamic cities has been reduced considerably. Land4You enables property owners to easily and fully take advantage of the Mohave County region’s full spectrum of fun and freedom.

Call Ron Freeman of Land4You today to find out how easy and affordable it is to own land in beautiful Northwest Arizona.

Many properties can be purchased for as low as $ 150 down. Freeman can finance the balance at a very reasonable interest rate. Subsequent monthly payments can be as low as $ 125 per month. Buyers can even pay properties off at any time without any prepayment penalty. Freeman accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover and PayPal for payments and contracts can be sent by email or hardcopy by regular U.S.P.S. mail service with an Arizona Department of Real Estate Public report for each plot.

Land buyers who would like more information or to acquire any of Ron Freeman’s properties at Land4You can contact him directly to inquire about specific parcels, to initiate down payments and begin their purchase process.

Call today and start your new life.

YOU CAN REALLY GET A-HEAD ON ROUTE 66, OR AT LEAST GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH ONE.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2004

Say “yes” to Historical route 66 in Kingman which represents the open road, the freedom, and the possibility for The American Dream and let your imagination soar!

Artist & former New Jersey resident Gregg Arnold has given people another reason to stop and just enjoy the views from the top of Antares Road, where you can watch the dust devils spiral up to the sky and glide over the untainted valley and up to the towering and majestic Music mountains and the Grand Wash Cliffs.

When asked why sculpt an Easter Island Icon on the corner of his property Arnold simply stated “Somebody had to. And besides, isn’t that what Route 66 is all about? Why not give people an unexpected surprise when they round the corner? I lived my whole life on the East Coast where everyone is piled up on top of each other and when I realized how much space is out here I knew I had to do something big and fun.” So fun in fact, that Trotter R.V. Sales of Kingman recently shot a commercial featuring Headicus.

The Kingman/ Hackberry section of 66 has recently seen quite a few changes and renovations. Everywhere you look there is new housing, new projects, and the re-vamping of old structures that have all breathed fresh life into the deserving Mother Road.

As you go east from the Kingman airport and industrial center you get an eyeful of open spaces, passing cattle and horses, and quite commonly you see trains that are literally miles long and stacked 2 high.

Trains on the right and mountain ranges on the left wind the traveler around to a bend in the road that signals their arriving at Headicus’s home, a fantastic A-frame building that was previously a restaurant and fuel stop in 66′s hey-day and is currently under renovation, complete with original sign, where Arnold says that people are welcome to stop and take their picture with his giant green head.
