I've been told by unreliable sources that above what is now Midtown Sports was a car showroom. The big door you see above the sign was the entrance to get the cars in.

Visalia Opera Company presents Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro

For its second full production, Visalia Opera Company presents Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro November 8-10th at the Main Street Theatre in downtown Visalia!
Tickets

Many opera-lovers would name Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) as their favorite opera. It appeals to the most intellectual listener, but also to music-lovers seeking great melodies and ensembles and to those seeking only entertainment. One of three operas by Mozart, it represents one of the pinnacles not just of operatic but of human achievement.

Figaro, a servant to Count Almaviva, is ready to settle down and marry his beloved Susanna. All varieties of problems—a Count with a roving eye, an unpaid debt, an amorous young pageboy, and missing parents—make this one of the craziest days seen on the operatic stage!

Performances are Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9 at 7pm, with a matinee Sunday, November 10 at 2:30pm.

Performed in Italian with English supertitles.

Crazy White Boy

I guess I haven't been out and about in a while. I was recently at Walgreen's on Court when I happened upon this tag. I've seen tags around town and they are mostly scribbles but this guy, CWB, took his time. I liked it for it's artistic value. He still wrote on someone's property but he did it well.

Sign of the Times

Driving through a neighborhood West of Chinowth and North of 198, I came across this house with my wife. As soon as I saw it, I let out an expletive. It is as amazing as you may think it is. Tons of signs and they are not junky looking. Someone cares about these signs and makes sure each one is in tip top shape.

Loud Mouth Poetry Jam

The competition’s structure is as innovative as it is creative. Five judges are randomly chosen from members of the audience and score on a one-to-ten, bias-free system. The participants are judged upon their visual and oral delivery as well as the poem’s content. Poets then have 3 minutes to make themselves heard, with one point deducted for each ten seconds that the poem exceeds that limit. The next poetry slam will be at Howie and Sons Pizza on March 22, with the doors opening at 6 p.m., open mic at 6:30 p.m., and the main event beginning at 7 p.m., and subsequent slams will be held there on the fourth Friday of each month. It is $5 to either watch or compete, or $3 with a student ID.

The Altar

 

What is going on in Visalia? I was going to Grocery Outlet for some soda and what nots, when I happened to pass this altar. The candles were lit and everything. I haven't a clue if the rest of the things were apart of it or added later but it does seem odd either way.

Visalia Sofa Art XVIII

SOFA ART XVIII: The Sofa Art Time Machine A Trip Through Art History February 6 – March 1, 2013 Reception: Friday, February 8th, 6 – 8pm ART for HEART Auction: Friday, February 15th

Artwork Entries Due: Saturday, February 2nd

Download Entry Forms Here

Sofa Art returns in all its glory for the eighteenth consecutive year with yet another fun theme: The Sofa Art Time Machine: A Trip Through Art History. With this year's theme, we ask participating artists to leaf back through the pages of their favorite art history books, or perhaps the Google Art Project, for a little inspiration. Of course, this is a Sofa Art show, and it goes without saying that this is art "about the sofa," not to "complement the sofa" and all artworks must include the obligatory couch, davenport, recliner, day bed, divan, etc. Just use your imagination and have a little fun. As always, the Sofa Art exhibition is open to all artists, and non-artists alike, with no entry fee for artwork submissions. Simply deliver your artwork to Arts Visalia by the Entry Deadline described below.

The exhibition will run from February 6th through March 1st. An opening reception will be held Friday, February 8th from 6 to 8 pm. Attendance is free and open to the public.

For the second straight year, Arts Visalia will partner will Pro-Youth/HEART as a part of the Sofa Art experience, with a special artwork auction event to be held on the evening of Friday, February 15th. Called Art for HEART, this second reception will auction off a selection of Sofa Artworks made specially for the exhibition by supporters of Pro-Youth's exceptional after-school programs throughout Tulare County.

The first Sofa Art Show was held in 1996 as a playful response to an unflattering depiction of Visalia’s local art scene as described by a local newspaper writer. Sofa Art Co-Founder Varian Mace, then an art instructor at College of the Sequoias, shared the article with her classes and challenged them to make some “real sofa art” in response. The resulting exhibition was a hit, to say the least, and has been an annual Visalia tradition ever since.

All artists, and, again, non-artists, are invited to submit their creations. Entry forms may be picked up at Arts Visalia or online at www.artsvisalia.org. Artwork submissions must be delivered to Arts Visalia by Saturday, February 2nd. A dedicated artwork delivery session is scheduled for Saturday, February 2nd from Noon to 3pm.

For more information, contact Arts Visalia at (559) 739-0905 or info@artsvisalia.org.
