Have you been trying to muster up the energy to complete your creative project for a while now? Are you recently retired, perhaps, and looking to get back into that artistic hobby you always loved before LIFE took over? Or maybe you work in an artistic field, always on other people’s projects…just never on your own? This powerful, seven-week course is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians…ANYONE who recognizes their innate creativity! In a supportive and safe setting we will: • work through the chapters and exercises in The Artist’s Way • take a look “behind the scenes”–those people, places, things in both our past and present that keep us from plunging forward with our art • hold ourselves accountable to daily/weekly creative practices and (at least!) one project each that we will share at the last class • discover new processes to make us more pro-active and productive • re-discover joy, in little things, in one another, and in our day to day lives. Bring a copy of The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and a 9″ x 11” unlined sketchbook. No previous art experience required.

The built-in stairs lead to the belly of the plane. They're less photogenic than the tall, outdoor steps. But the sturdier stairs pose less of a health and political risk to the 80-year-old president.

Attendees must be vaccinated and masks must be worn inside. For the last two decades Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart have been entertaining audiences with their natural down-home humor and masterfully-crafted songs. In 2018, they celebrated their 20th anniversary with a live performance of their debut album, Wreck ‘N Sow. Released in 2000, Wreck ‘N Sow was a critical success out of the box, winning the San Diego Music Award for Best Local Recording and helping Berkley Hart take home the coveted Best New Artist trophy as well. In the years since, they’ve played festivals, performing arts centers, and house concerts all over the country, recording another ten albums and winning several more awards along the way. In 2016 alone, they put out three albums: BHST (with Eve Selis and Marc Intravaia), A Berkley Hart Christmas, and Fleur De Lis, a powerful collection of 20 songs combining their trademark vocal harmony and unique acoustic style to create a listening experience that is, as one critic put it, “warm and peaceful as a summer evening on the bayou”. They have also become well-known for their theme-shows, most notably their productions of O Berkley Where Hart Thou, an old-timey tribute to classic Americana, and their recreation of The Last Waltz, a passionate homage to The Band’s 1976 farewell concert. Their latest release, in 2018, While The Night Is Still Young, won the SDMA for Best Americana Album. Local singer-songwriter, guitarist Mark Montijo will open the show. Follow on Facebook!

Decorated Green Beret sniper and UFC headliner Tim Kennedy will be at the Coronado Public Library on Monday, June 27 at 7 p.m. to discuss and sign his new book Scars and Stripes. This inspirational memoir offers lessons on how to unlock the best version of yourself, from someone who knows that failure is just one step towards success. Through vivid, wild anecdotes – such as saying he only feels alive right before he’s about to die - Kennedy reveals all the dumb, violent, embarrassing, and undeniably heroic things he’s done in his life, including multiple combat missions in Afghanistan, building a school in Texas for elementary kids, and creating two multimillion-dollar businesses. He has learned that failure isn’t the end – rather, it’s the first step towards unearthing the best version of yourself and finding success, no matter how overwhelming the setbacks may feel. Originally from Atascadero, California, Kennedy joined the Army in 2004. After completing Ranger School he was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group and was deployed on multiple combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq as a sniper, sniper instructor, and principal combatives instructor. While in the Army, he also developed his mixed martial arts fighting skills, which he had originally developed at ‘The Pit’ in Atascadero. He returned to mixed martial arts in 2009 at Strikeforce Challengers and in January 2013 was brought over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). While now retired from fighting, his professional fighting record has him with just six losses in twenty-four matches. Today, Kennedy is the founder and head of Apogee Cedar Park: an Acton Academy school in Austin, Texas. He is also co-owner of Ranger Up and the CEO of Sheepdog Response.

This program is free and seating is general-admission; however, if you would like to pre-order a book and receive priority seating, please call Warwicks at 858-454-0347.
