Their live shows are a testament to their improvisational prowess, featuring extended jams that showcase each member’s virtuosity. The band also pays homage to their King Crimson roots by performing select pieces from that legendary group’s catalog. Stick Men continues to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive rock.

"Becoming Heirlooms": A Craft Desert exhibition curated by Kerianne Quick and Adam John Manley in conjunction with Handwork 2026, a Craft in America initiative. Opening Reception: Friday, September 11, 2026 | 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. On view August 24, 2026 - November 7, 2026 "Becoming Heirlooms" examines the extra functional power of craft and art objects, not merely as artifacts, but as tools for gathering, witnessing, and remembrance. Expanding the notion of “family” beyond bloodline or inheritance, the exhibition embraces broader forms of collectivity—chosen families, cultural lineages, ideological kinships, and experiences—that serve as touchstones for our shared existence. At its core, "Becoming Heirlooms" considers the moment when a crafted object transcends authorship and utility to become a site of collective feeling—when an artist’s intention resonates beyond the individual viewer and ignites a shared emotional consciousness. These works become gathering points for empathy, reflection, and recognition, binding communities through the realities of the world they inhabit together. Featuring new works by: Diana Benavidez, Matt Hebert, Michael Hernandez, Soyeon Kim, Christine Lee, Anna Mayer, Kaiya Rainbolt, Phil Rowland, India Thompson, and Georgina Treviño.

While there is no charge for this online event, please register in advance here. Our guest speaker this month is Jared Hanley, co-founder and CEO of NatureQuant, an Oregon-based company that develops tools to measure and improve the health benefits of nature. Its patented technologies, NatureScore® and NatureDose®, quantify environmental features and track individual nature exposure, promoting nature as a measurable health behavior. In this talk we will explore how NatureQuant is transforming the way we measure, understand, and apply “nature” as both a health driver and an economic variable. At the core of this work are several innovative technologies — including NatureScore, NatureDose, the Urban Heat Index, and the Tree Value of Statistical Lives which together quantify the quality and impact of natural environments. Our speaker will introduce how NatureQuant leverages machine learning models to combine environmental conditions with human exposure patterns, and create a data-driven understanding of both the natural spaces around us and the time people actually spend in them.
