SUMMARY:Stargazing at Wooldridge Creek Winery
DESCRIPTION:Applegate After Dark (AAD) is a collaborative group of community members\, local organizations\, and partners united by a shared passion for the night sky. The group first formed in March 2025 following an increased awareness that dark skies are a shared natural resource in need of protection for generations to come.\n\nOur “Stargazing” program at Wooldridge Creek Winery will commence with an after-hour gate opening at 6:30 PM to gather and mingle with beverages available for purchase. At 7PM\, Liz Shen (a founding member of AAD) will offer a presentation about the broader dark sky movement and how our local group is hoping to help others learn why and how to preserve our night sky. As the sun sets and the night sky takes over\, Sam Dennis (another founding member of the group) will guide participants in using their binoculars to view interesting celestial features from the sliver of our moon to planets and galaxies and star clusters and more!\n\n\n\nAll are welcome and the event is free. If the skies are not clear\, we will postpone the event. Look for updates closer to the date.

SUMMARY:Adult Art Workshop – Open Palette Series – Color on a Strong Foundation – Building Color over Value
DESCRIPTION:Color is often where paintings begin to fall apart—but it doesn’t have to be. In this session of the Open Palette series\, we’ll explore how strong value structure allows color to enhance a painting rather than overwhelm it. Working from simple value studies\, we’ll introduce color in a controlled way\, focusing on how hue\, temperature\, and saturation interact with established light and dark patterns. Students will learn practical strategies for preserving clarity and structure while adding richness and atmosphere through color. Through demonstration and guided studio work\, we’ll explore how to simplify complex scenes\, maintain a clear focal point\, and apply color in a way that strengthens both composition and visual impact. \nWhile this class builds naturally on ideas explored in previous Open Palette sessions\, each workshop is designed to stand on its own. \nArtists are welcome to join at any point in the series. All levels and mediums welcome

Main St.\, Phoenix (corner of 4th St.) \nFind lots of native plants that support your local pollinators from Pollinator Project Rogue Valley and vendors like Klamath Siskiyou Native Seeds\, Cornucopia Acres\, and OUR Community Forestry! Plus our friends with Siskiyou Native Plant Society\, Siskiyou Chapter! \n* Please expect the first hour or two to be VERY crowded! \n* Please – no dogs except service animals. \n* Parking is VERY limited at the sale site. You will find parking on Main Street\, along neighborhood streets\, and in the Umpqua Bank and Civic Center lots. Be prepared to walk a block or two \n* Vendors are unable to accept payment for other vendors – please pay for plants in the space they are in. \n* Not all vendors take credit cards. If paying in cash\, small bills are always appreciated. \n* If possible\, please bring boxes\, bins\, baskets\, or other containers to carry your plants. \n* Restroom facilities will not be available. \n* Helpful volunteers will be available to help with plant selection and to load out large purchases. \n* Vehicles will be able to access the area for pick up after purchase\, but bringing a cart to transport your purchases back to your car is a good idea. \n* Pollinator Project Rogue Valley will have merchandise for sale (native plant books\, bumble bee books\, yard signs) and donations are always appreciated! \nPollinator Project Rogue Valley is a volunteer-led Oregon-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit concerned about the health of our native pollinators and plant communities. We offer multiple programs to help realize our goal to increase\, protect\, and steward native plants for native pollinators. Our Growing Gardens for Pollinators program encompasses our on-site nursery where we propagate native plants to share with the community through donations and plant sales. Seed is packaged and sold\, or donated to schools\, community gardens\, and other community partners. \nGratitude to Southern Oregon Subaru for sponsoring our Native Plant Nursery!  \nWe believe everyone can make a difference in ‘saving the bees’ – simply by planting a native plant pollinator garden!
