Festival Mission:
To celebrate the arts and this
community through a festival
happening that is
accessible to anyone –
physically, psychologically,
and economically.
Greetings from the
City of Salina
My first impression of Salina came
through the Smoky Hill River Festival, as
my husband, daughter and I drove from
Manhattan twelve years ago, to attend.
That impression was of a cool place
to visit, live and work, resulting in our
eventual move to Salina.
Each year, we literally stay and enjoy
the entire weekend. Working in Salina
restaurants, I’ve found that people from all
over the United States attend the Festival,
even if they aren’t participating as vendors.
Last year was my first year to volunteer,
in what’s known as “Artyopolis,” the
children’s hands-on art area. It was an
entirely different way to experience the
Festival. I’d challenge everyone to try a
shift as a volunteer-you are needed, and it
really is fun.
The Festival is great for Salina - its
economic impact is important. The
Festival is good for all ages, and brings the
community together. It’s all right there;
easy to navigate, and you’ve got Kenwood
Cove right next door if you need to cool off.
I hope you enjoy everything we have to
offer this year, and return time and time
again to celebrate and experience the
cultural life of Salina, throughout the year.
Welcome!
Salina Arts &
Humanities Programs
Art a la Carte
Welcome to the 2013 Smoky Hill River
Festival! Salina’s celebration of the
arts has become the perfect definition
of what it is to be a community.
Individuals, businesses, corporations
and thousands of volunteers make this
event special in so many ways. There
are several new features of this year’s
event highlighted on the back cover of
the program.
In addition to all the new features,
we also are establishing a Festival
Legacy Fund to ensure that the Festival
continues for decades to come. Over the
coming years, we will encourage the
thousands who love the Smoky Hill River
Festival to remember us in a lasting way.
Our 30-year goal is to have all Festival
costs underwritten by this endowment.
This is only possible with the support
of our contributors, volunteers and
continued City of Salina support.
We encourage you to enjoy the River
Festival in your own special way. It is
our sincere wish that you continue to
appreciate this happening as the best
celebration of community that Salina
has to offer. Have a great weekend!

Arts & Humanities
Salina Arts and Humanities, a department of the City of Salina, is proud to present
the Smoky Hill River Festival, now in its 37th year. Including the Smoky Hill Museum,
the agency has 12 full-time and three part-time staff that wear many hats throughout
the year. In addition to producing the River Festival, SA&H staff design and create
educational exhibits and programs, bring arts education into local classrooms,
coordinate the Horizons grants program, guide the city’s Community Art and Design
projects, manage a comprehensive Cultural Calendar, administrate the Big Ideas
Cultural Plan, and have served as an important cultural arts advocate since 1966.
All year long, our staff plus many volunteers, civic leaders, and fellow City of Salina
employees join together to raise
money, select performers, artists
and vendors, prepare the Park, and
coordinate the many Festival-week
activities that take place to ‘make
it all happen’ for Salina. More than
60,000 residents and visitors enter
Oakdale Park over 3.5 days to enjoy
the Festival, generating 3.5 million
dollars in economic activity in Salina.
While there are many cultural festivals
across the U.S., very few operate at the
professionalism and commitment for
which the Festival is known.
While the River Festival is most
recognized nationally for Salina’s
hospitality and its support of the arts,
the ‘numbers side’ of the Festival also
is impressive. The Festival’s annual
operating budget of just over $600,000,
which includes cash and municipal
support, attests to the significance of
each person’s contributions to sustain
a variety of high-quality Festival
offerings. In-kind contributions are well
over $100,000 annually, and help keep
the Festival affordable for everyone.
One-third of the Festival budget comes from artist and vendor fees, food-sales
commissions, grants, and miscellaneous sources. Forty-three percent of necessary
event income comes from the sale of individual Festival admission buttons. This area
is critical to its ongoing success. Even Festival Families First buttons given to local
families in need are underwritten by generous donors. Finally, businesses provide
almost a quarter of Festival funding as they specify how their contribution best reflects
their mission and service to the community.
Whether you are a friend, colleague, employee or a customer, please take a few
minutes to thank a few of the many businesses and civic organizations that support
the Festival, as tangible evidence of their contribution to our community’s livability
and enduring appeal.

Good Neighbor Park Policy
The Smoky Hill River Festival takes place in scenic
Oakdale Park, one of Salina’s oldest and most
beautiful. To lessen the impact of over 60,000
Festival-goers and to provide a comfortable
experience for everyone, the Festival is asking for
cooperation with the following:
• Blankets and chairs must be removed each evening
of the Festival. Note - following each night’s
closing act, Festival staff removes all blankets,
chairs, etc. from the park. Check Lost & Found the
next day.
• Plastic ground tarps will not be allowed because of
damage to grassy areas.
• Individual tent covers in front of the Eric Stein
Stage and in other areas of the park are not allowed.
• Umbrellas will be restricted to use behind a marked boundary to facilitate sight lines. Please stay
behind this line with your umbrellas.
• Please do not bring pets or animals to the Festival.
• Due to obvious hazards, glass containers, roller
blades, skateboards, scooters and bicycles are prohibited.
• For safety and as a courtesy to our entertainers,
please keep children at a reasonable distance from
the stages and off the steps of the Eric Stein Stage.
• Absolutely NO unauthorized vending is permitted
on Festival grounds.
• One last request - please place your personal trash
in a receptacle. Help leave Oakdale Park in great shape!
It’s Easy to be Green!
Look for receptacles for recycling
of plastic water bottles and cans
around the Festival, and help us to
reduce the amount of trash sent to
the landfill. The area in front of the
Eric Stein Stage is marked with an
aisle for easier access to trash service.
Access to Oakdale Park will again be limited after 10
p.m., as early-morning preparations are necessary to
ready the park for the day. Gates will open promptly
at 9:30 a.m. daily, at which time Festival-goers may
enter the park.

white traditions collide – and that’s the definition of
rock and roll.

Bicentennial Center Bridge
“Community” in Kansas
New York City-based visual artist Sharon Louden
transforms the Oakdale Park practice court into a living
room furnished with sculptural objects created from
found pieces of furniture, repurposed scraps of discarded
material, and paint. Louden’s artistic practice is rooted
in painting and drawing, but her primary interest is in
gesture. In Louden’s work, her gestures, though abstract
and formal, are invested with a human-like character,
much of which comes from the materials out of which
they are made. Collectively, her playful and elegant
gestures seem a community of animate beings produced
in nature and capable of contributing to the world.
Visit with Salina Art Center’s Artist-in-Residence,
Sharon Louden
Fri & Sat: 10:00 a.m. to Noon and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Sun: 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.
South of Stage II
Louden will be in-residence at the Salina Art Center’s
Warehouse, 149 South 4th, May 29 - June 15. Louden
is also highly regarded for her abstract animations. A
selection of her animations and work created during
her residency will be featured in “Sharon Louden:
‘Community’ in Kansas, Part II,” an exhibition in the
galleries of the Salina Art Center at 242 S. Santa Fe,
June 14-August 11. Louden will return to complete her
residency July 15-31.
Fetching Mettle
Matthew Dominic Farley, Lucas KS responds to
the simultaneous “smallness” and “bigness”
of Oakdale Park with a more reflective art
encounter. Three larger-than-life millstones, set just
below the surface of the water, represent Salina’s
milling history and its inextricable tie to the Smoky Hill
River. Incorporating detritus gleaned from the sinuously
winding stream, these millstones become the “mettle”
of the river, illustrating the old saying “to show one’s
mettle”-- a reference to the small bits of
stone trapped under the millstone dresser’s skin,
appearing as blue marks, a traumatic tattoo.

Liberty, this spiked-shape mural becomes a tribute
to cultural diversity and the universal celebration of

edible resources!
Erika Nelson, Lucas, KS
East of Mulberry Bridge at Oakdale Dr.
Oakdale/Carver Pool
Brooklyn-based artist Molly Dilworth created the Oakdale
Pool mural for last year’s Festival while in residence at
the Salina Art Center’s Warehouse. Dilworth’s mural
records an aspect of Salina’s history and draws on
European and Afro-Caribbean visual sources. Built in
the 1920s, the now shallow pool was once a popular
summertime recreation spot. The painted design
extending to the edges of the pool is based on traditional
Pennsylvania Dutch barn decorations and English and
Irish quilt patterns. The considerably smaller inset design
is derived from Central African baskets and Gee’s Bend
quilt patterns. The dimensions of this 40 x 60 ft. inset
design correspond to those of the Carver Pool, a blacksonly facility located in north Salina at 311 N. Second and
built in 1948. Until its demolition in 2001, the Carver Pool
was a visual reminder of the city’s segregated past.
Pond North of Stage II
GMO Lilly and
Gossamer Punks
Chad Fonfara and Kenny Galusha of Kearney, NE,
combine forces in this new site specific installation of
sculptural blown glass elements. Along the waterway
of the winding Smoky Hill River, larger-than-life
translucent glass Nymphaes of GMO Lilies take the
aquatic stage accompanied by spectral Gossamer
Punks standing sentinel to rein in the invasive crowd
of perennial cattails. Simultaneously the glass
components draw inspiration from the botanical,
entomological, ornithological and the Monsanto.

Sun: 2:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Rear View
When driving, objects and landscape reflected in a
rear view mirror merge and blend with the immediate.
There is little distance between the “then” and “now.”
This seems a fit metaphor for the River Festival—the
kaleidoscope of past events and memories intersecting
with the present—images converging and becoming one.
In “Rear View,” large graphic cutouts utilizing former
Festival photos combine painted and reflective elements
in a 200-foot panorama. Areas of mirror-like vinyl
intermix the movement of present events with static
imagery of the illustrated past.

Hoffman, Rick Frisbie and Cary Brinegar call on the
Festival audience to work together to “get the big
picture.” Taller, shorter, friends, family….change the
paintings. Enjoy the experience!
Under Cottonwood
Connecting artmaking and environmental processes,
Steven Siegel, Red Hook, NY builds impressive sculptures
that reflect the deposit-and-decay cycle that underlies
the making of the land. Siegel’s works prompt dialogue
about society, landscape, and form – all with an eye for
nature’s processes. Forty community volunteers assisted
in the incorporation of over 20,000 pounds of recycled
Salina Journal newspapers into this beautiful and
impressive installation placed within the context of the
park for Festival 2012 and beyond.

Outside the Horizon
The repetition of strong horizontal lines provides the
background of this undulating linear composition. Each
panel, an abstract landscape, dimensionally evoking
energy through the use of shape, form, contrast and depth.

19th Annual
Art Patron Program
The Art Patron Program significantly contributes to the
quality and national reputation of the Fine Art Show.
For purchase pledges of $250 or more, patrons enjoy a
gourmet breakfast for two, the earliest viewing of the
show, and present award placards to artists from whom
they purchase. Stop by the Fine Art Information tent to
learn about this stellar program, which generates over
$130,000 in purchases annually.
2013 Festival T-Shirt
Retro inspiration, color and
line define the 2013 Festival
T-Shirt, created by Salina
native and graphic designer
Karly Prickett of Overland
Park, KS. Shirts are available
in a wide range of youth and
adult sizes in both women’s
and regular cut, in charcoal
or white. Stop by the Festival
Information Booths, north of
Eric Stein Stage and near
Kenwood Bridge, to pick up a very cool shirt or two!
2013 Festival Print
Donors contributing $100 or more to the Festival receive
an original printmaking artwork. The 2013 Festival
Print is a digital inkjet print created by Andrea Fuhrman,
Abilene, KS. Created in a limited edition of 250, each
print is signed and numbered by the artist. The bold
and colorful diptych melds together two abstract
photographs from the artist’s contemporary series based
on train graffiti. On display in the Fine Art Information Tent.

Join us in a special recognition of two families whose long-term Festival
involvement has impacted so many.
Marie Chapman, for her volunteer and technical service.
For more than three decades of the Smoky Hill River Festival, Marie has drawn detailed
maps to organize the layout of the Festival, including applying the spray paint you
see each year marking artist tents and parking, pedestrian walkways, and many other
important areas of the Festival. She also provided countless hours of technical support.
Marie’s planning and execution was one of many examples of the excellent work done
by our volunteers every year. You will be missed, Marie- Happy Retirement!

Festival Legacies
The Tony Buccigrossi family, for their long-time
service to Gates, helping found the Children’s Area,
and as Ambassadors.
Loreen Buccigrossi and daughters Angela Buccigrossi Schafer and Michelle Buccigrossi
Neuschafer, remember their husband and father Tony, with the first gift to the new
Festival Legacy Fund, at the Greater Salina Community Foundation. The Buccigrossi’s
were involved in the creation of and management of the Festival’s first children’s
activity area in the mid-80’s and have helped in many other significant ways over the
years. Their legacy gift to the Festival helps honor Tony’s life in a very special way, and
honors their family’s cherished memories. In addition, their Legacy Fund gift opens the
door for many others to do the same.
There are many others who have generously supported the Festival in very special
ways. Leaving a legacy gift to commemorate a person or memory of the River Festival
helps ensure that this wonderful event will continue for generations to come. Please
contact Salina Arts & Humanities, 785-309-5770 if you have already designated this
event in your estate or would like more information about how to participate in our
new Festival Legacy program.

The Soul of Salina
Salina is unique in the quality and variety of cultural attractions it offers. The
spirit of the River Festival lives all year through the vibrancy of Salina theatres,
galleries, museums, and studios throughout the town. The Cultural Arts Roundtable
organizations featured on the following pages need underwriting or ticket sales
to thrive and to provide affordable music, entertainment, art, dance, literature and
more for everyone. The Roundtable works collectively to strengthen the cultural
arts community through special partnerships, cooperative programs, the Cultural
Connections calendar, and First Thursday. Your patronage and support of Salina’s
cultural agencies is greatly valued and your experiences with each of them will be
rewarding. Please let us know if you would like to be added to our weekly Cultural
