SUMMARY:Summer Music Series: Jake Worthington - Smithgall Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:For big loud Texas traditionalist Jake Worthington\, country music is in his DNA. \nThe La Porte\, Texas native was raised on his grandfather’s porch performances of Ray Price\, Merle Haggard and George Jones\, and soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic to realize the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic\, wide and wild voice.

Day\,” “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart)\,” viral “It Ain’t The Whiskey” and more.\nCaptivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings\, the singer-songwriter hits the road this year on his headlining Intent To Tonk Tour\, as well as opening dates with Luke Combs\, Luke Bryan\, HARDY\, Parker McCollum\, Riley Green and lan Munsick. “I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath\,” Worthington declares\, and “blame it on my raising\, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.” \nGates open at 6:00 p.m. Bring a bag chair or reserve a table. RAIN OR SHINE – NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS! Preorder a meal when purchasing tickets from our featured caterer Epting Events– limited number of meals will be available at the concert.

SUMMARY:Expressive Art as Therapy: Grief and Loss with Dawn Columbo - Quinlan Visual Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:The arts can be supportive when experiencing grief and loss. Grief can be the end of a relationship\, and/or the loss of a loved one. The act of creating something tangible can serve as a form of expression and allow your thoughts and feelings to guide and move you through the journey. \nYou can create your own art through monthly sessions. You can work at your own pace with at least 3 options available. The art materials/examples will be provided. \n​No prior art experience is necessary. No pressure to talk. Just be present\, and allow the process of creative writing\, collage\, painting\, and other art forms be a catalyst for self-care. \nMembers: $40\, Non-members: $65
