SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Pam McDonnell
DESCRIPTION:Pam McDonnell discusses her work in “Material Equivalence.” \nOn view through March 11 \n\nArtist Statement:\nMaterial Equivalence is my exploration of the Spanish term “duende.” It describes the wordless reaction a person feels from experiencing the output of another person’s creativity. It can be seen in work that has a certain quality of passion and inspiration. Work with duende is said to have a soul\, be highly expressive\, and authentic. \nIn making this body of work\, I tried not to focus on whether a certain piece exhibited this\nheightened state of emotion because I wanted to leave that determination to the viewer. Instead\, I practiced noticing and trusting when I felt expressive and authentic and staying grounded in the assurance that the work was\, in a sense\, “making itself.” \nThis exhibition is titled “Material Equivalence” after a philosophical formula that sets out to prove an “if and only if” relationship. Here\, it would state that “the work has duende\, if\, and only if\, the viewer experiences the work as work with a soul and finds it full of passion and inspiration.” \n\nAbout the Artist:\nPam McDonnell earned her BFA from University of Memphis in 2005 and has exhibited her work at a number of local galleries and studios\, including David Lusk Gallery and Flicker Street Studio. Her work is displayed in public collections at Iberia Bank\, West Cancer Center\, and Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

SUMMARY:Family Trees
DESCRIPTION:New work by Joy Murray and Timothy Allen. \nTim’s father\, Mark Allen\, will play classical guitar during the show. \nOrganized by the artists. \nAbout Joy and Timothy:\nJoy Murray and her son Timothy Allen are self-taught Memphis artists. This show will feature their collaborative work on the concept of family trees – the tangled roots and the unique fruits. They will also show their individual work from the past few years. \nJoy works in a narrative style and uses text in her paintings. She uses many kinds of paper\, watercolor\, acrylic\, and collage. She explores concepts of transformation\, how our age and health direct the changes in our lives\, and the intersection of human life and the natural world. \nTim is a freelance filmmaker who travels all over the country. He began to paint to voice his subconscious ideas. He works intuitively with color and form and is often surprised at what he creates. His pieces are finely detailed and often have multiple layers. Both artists find a bit of poetry in their creations.

SUMMARY:The Music of John Coltrane
DESCRIPTION:Tickets $15 (purchase on Eventbrite)\nDoors at 6:30 pm | performance at 7 pm \nJazz tribute to the music of John Coltrane featuring Art Edmaiston (saxophones)\, Tim Goodwin (acoustic bass)\, Gerald Stephens (piano)\, Logan Hanna (guitar)\, and Chad Anderson (drums). \nThe Crosstown Jazz Series\, presented by Strictly Jazz Entertainment in collaboration with Crosstown Arts\, is designed to salute classic jazz music as contemporary musicians perform the work of the legends. \nJohn William Coltrane was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and hard bop idioms early in his career\, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes in jazz and was later at the forefront of free jazz. He led at least fifty recording sessions during his career and appeared as a sideman on many albums by other musicians\, including trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk. \n \n\nAbout Arthur Edmaiston:\nSaxophonist Arthur Edmaiston was raised in the small town of Troy in Northwest Tennessee but came to Memphis to pursue a degree in Jazz Performance in 1990 and has called the Bluff City home since then. \nEarly in his search for musical information\, Art found a mentor in the great Lannie McMillan who offered guidance on stage and off for the budding saxophonist. Allen Rippe\, professor of saxophone at the University of Memphis\, also led Edmaiston toward higher levels of achievement through his masterful tutelage. \nCountless hours of practicing and late nights jamming with the finest musicians in Memphis and around the world has brought Edmaiston to where he is today; a Grammy-nominated\, seasoned professional of stage and studio with no sign of slowing down. \nOver the years\, Art has played for hundreds of thousands of tourists on world-famous Beale Street\, as well as having recorded and toured internationally with such artists as Gregg Allman\, Bobby “Blue” Bland\, JJ Grey & MOFRO\, and the International Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater. New recording projects are due for release in 2018 with a varying array of artists: John Paul Keith\, the Love Light Orchestra\, Marcella & Her Lovers\, Scott Thompson’s Rescue Animals\, among others. \nEdmaiston has established himself as a leader in music in Memphis and is grateful to be sharing his gift with all who will listen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Strictly Jazz Entertainment:\nStrictly Jazz Entertainment is committed to cultivating a growing community in the knowledge and appreciation of jazz. We facilitate dialogue and collaboration between the devoted supporters of jazz and the brand new constituents – those new to the genre – for the furthering of the jazz community. We provide a bridge between leading artists and a community that typically does not embrace jazz by promoting concerts in various venues to generate an atmosphere that is viable for the absorption of pure jazz.

SUMMARY:Ernest Withers: Goodnight My Love
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of photographs from the Ernest Withers collection\, including works from Dr. Withers’ vast archive of more than one million negatives that have never been seen by the public. \nOn view: March 17-May 13\nOpening reception: Saturday\, March 17\, 6-8 pm \n\nAbout the artist:\nErnest Columbus Withers (1922-2007) was a freelance photojournalist in Memphis\, Tennessee and captured nearly 60 years of cultural history.  \nBorn and raised in Memphis to Arthur and Pearl Withers\, Ernest was the fifth of six children. Ernest Withers’ love of photography was sparked when he received his first camera\, a hand-me-down gift from his sister when he was a young boy. When Withers enlisted in the army in 1942\, he was trained as a military photographer and learned darkroom development while serving in the South Pacific during World War II. \n After returning home to Memphis\, Withers was one of the first nine African Americans appointed to the Memphis Police Department and was given a beat right on Beale Street. While working as a police officer\, Withers continued to pursue his career as a photographer and in the 1950s\, he helped spur the movement for equal rights with a self-published photo pamphlet on the Emmitt Till murder and trial. Unfortunately\, Withers’ popularity as a photographer compromised his position as a police officer and eventually led to him leaving the Memphis Police Department. \nWithers’ collection includes pictures of early performances of Elvis Presley\, B.B. King\, Ike and Tina Turner\, Ray Charles\, Aretha Franklin\, Isaac Hayes\, Howlin’ Wolf\, and the list goes on and on. Many locals knew of Ernest Withers as “The Picture Taker” because he never went anywhere without his camera. He photographed the day to day life\, backyard get-togethers\, family reunions\, weddings\, proms\, and much more. \nIn his more than 60-year career\, Withers accumulated a collection of an estimated 1.8 million photographs; his works appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The TriState Defender\, the Pittsburgh Courier\, Jet\, Ebony\, Newsweek\, Life\, People\, and Time\, and have been featured in touring exhibits and shows around the world. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. currently displays over 30 of Ernest C. Withers’ images.  \nFor his life’s work\, Withers was elected to the Black Press Hall of Fame and received an honorary doctorate from the Massachusetts College of Art. Withers had nine children and married his high school sweetheart\, Dorothy Curry. Ernest C. Withers passed away on Monday\, October 15\, 2007\, at the age of eighty-five. You can see his work at The Withers Collection Museum and Gallery in Memphis at 333 Beale Street.

SUMMARY:Talking Back to the Screen: Feminism & Film Criticism
DESCRIPTION:Monthly filmmaking forum presented by Indie Memphis and Crosstown Arts \nIn Alice Bolin’s upcoming book\, Dead Girls\, she writes about moving to L.A. and seeing the city through a white male literary lens\, and needing to trust her own eyes rather than what she’s read. Miriam Bale’s path through the male-dominated world of film criticism at New York newspapers was similarly one of learning to trust her own eyes. The two writers will have a dialogue about different ways to engage with writing about film\, a misogynistic industry\, as women. Dead Girls (which covers Twin Peaks to True Detective) is an essay collection out in June 2018 from William Morrow/ HarperCollins. Alice Bolin teaches nonfiction at the University of Memphis. \nMiriam Bale is new Senior Programmer of the Indie Memphis Film Festival. \nDoors open at 6:30pm | panel discussion begins at 7pm\nFree and open to the public\nComplimentary beverages
