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!

Santa Fe (Salina Regional Health Center) 3 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. 4 Good Stuff to Know Shuttles Free shuttles from the Salina Bicentennial Center parking lot to Festival grounds are accessible.

Kansas City graffiti artist GEAR demonstrates precision, creativity and bold expression through his skillful artistry with spray paint! Watch this colorful story unfold throughout Festival weekend. West of Demonstration Area Kansas City artist T.J. Tangpuz introduces: Feeding Birds, Swinging Birds, Duck Caller and Owl Sight – a symbolic and metaphorical look at the aviary residents of Oakdale Park. T. J. displays a humorous and fascinating approach to sculptural construction and interactivity. West of Bicentennial Center Bridge Bygone Summer Dream Dragon Bridge Dreams are the inspiration for this newly expanded imaginative and colorful visual experience. Enter the Fourth Street Bridge and journey through a dragon dreamscape of surreal, mythical themes and unconscious symbols. Let your imagination soar! Bill Godfrey, Tarentum, PA Fourth Street Bridge Face Parade Amy and Tim Carlson, Lawrence, KS bring their unique collection of facial expressions to the face painting area - imaginative and whimsical inspiration for the parade of faces created throughout Festival weekend. At Paintchoo Plaza Re-enter the world of the Festival through a concourse of retro patterns and textures. Metal sculptors Rich Bergen, Salina; Larry Goodwin, Wichita; and Don Osborn, Gypsum welded concepts of summers past into an abstract and captivating canopy of shapes, objects, and reclaimed materials – creative ingenuity and collaboration! 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. River at Mulberry Bridge North and South Viewing Platforms 15 Artists in Action Get Caught Reading at the Festival! Salina Public Library staff will scan Festival crowds to catch someone reading. Readers will be given special acknowledgement at the Festival and all readers names will be entered into a drawing for a great prize. Fri & Sat: 10:00 to 4:00 Throughout the Park “Give Me Your Hungry…” Echoing and encompassing Oakdale Park’s Statue of Liberty, this spiked-shape mural becomes a tribute to cultural diversity and the universal celebration of life through food! Smoky Hill River Festival vendors present a wealth of cuisines, a culinary melting pot 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. Fri & Sat: 10:00 a.m. to Noon and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sun: 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. River North of Kenwood Bridge Live Reflections Camera? Camera phones? Don’t miss this fun photo op! Inspired by a store-window phenomenon, this interactive “mirror wall” provides hours of distortion and laughs. It takes two people – round up a friend and have some fun! My goal is for people to have fun with it. I hope you do! - Fred Elliott, Salina, KS East of Kenwood Bridge Nature as Canvas Solomon, KS art instructor Alicia Firstbrooke-Stott and her team of designers twist the natural environment into a surreal canvas of color and pattern. Fabric-wrapped trees have become a distinguishing Festival tradition. West of Bicentennial Center Bridge West of Demonstration Area 16 Artists in Action 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. Ruth Moritz, Salina, KS North Tennis Court Fence Reinventing the Wheel Celebrating its 10th Anniversary in 2012, “The Wheels” continue to mesmerize one and all high above the Kenwood Bridge. Merging art and engineering, local fabrication and mechanical expertise, this signature kinetic installation is forever a fabulous collaboration and Festival icon….Yes, you can reinvent the wheel! Designed by David Exline, Aliso Viejo, CA Engineered by the family of Exline Inc. On Kenwood Bridge Painting the “Scape” Colin Benson, Denver, CO brings his painting techniques to the landscape. His annual “spray” of color brings an element of surprise to nature’s canvas. West Side Riverbank at Kenwood Bridge The Big Picture Three artists…three artworks! Salinans Stephen M. 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! East of Kenwood Bridge 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. North of the Kenwood Bridge 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. Ann Arkebauer, Salina, KS East of Fourth Street Bridge Poetry Wall Words, words, and more words! The Festival’s “S River Scroll” magnetic Poetry Wall designed by Rich Bergen, Salina provides a colorful slate for word configurations. Local high school English teachers lead this popular and ever-changing literary masterpiece! East of Kenwood Bridge Friends of the River “The Friends of the River Foundation is bringing rivers straight to you with the interactive Stream Model, demonstrating the dynamic nature of streams and the raw power of flowing water on its environment. People of all ages can stop by to see the ins and outs of a river in a fun and educational way!

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! Dennis & Judy Lilly Becky & Tim Maguffee Paul & Brenda McDaniel Employee Buttons In addition to cash and in-kind contributions, many businesses choose to support the Festival in a very special way. We would like to thank the following businesses who purchase buttons for their employees or customers. Button sales are the single largest income source for the Smoky Hill River Festival.

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. 37 Explore.Engage.Experience. 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.
