SUMMARY:Drawing with Graphite: Negative Drawing
DESCRIPTION:“Drawing with Graphite: Negative drawing\, making something out of nothing…” \nThis intermediate class taught by graphite artist Kim Ragsdale offers a number of important advantages. \n– Divide drawings into simple\, manageable elements \n– No erasing involved.

SUMMARY:Rattlesnakessssss: Shedding the Myths to Meet the Snake with Adrian Slade
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 6:00 p.m.\, show from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. PDT. \n(If the event is sold out\, unclaimed seats will be released to the waitlist at 6:45 p.m.) \nWhere: Columbia Center for the Arts\, 215 Cascade Ave.\, Hood River\, OR 97031 (All ticket-holders also get access to the livestream) \nSTORY:\nThey’re almost invisible\, blending into the basalt and bunchgrass. Most of us never see one—but when we do\, it’s unforgettable. In the Columbia River Gorge\, northern pacific rattlesnakes quietly go about their lives beneath our feet\, helping control rodent populations and supporting the balance of local food webs. So why do these shy\, gentle animals inspire so much fear? And what do we lose when we let myths shape our relationship with them? \nJoin wildlife ecologist Adrian Slade for a closer look at the Gorge’s only venomous reptile. Discover their fascinating biology\, annual rhythms\, complex social lives\, and strong fidelity to den sites passed down through generations. Learn how they respond to wildfire\, habitat changes\, and human pressures—and how their presence signals a healthy landscape. \nWhether you’re a hiker\, land steward\, or just snake-curious\, this talk will offer practical tips for coexisting with rattlesnakes and a deeper appreciation for their subtle yet vital presence on the landscape. Let go of fear and meet the rattlesnake as it truly is: not a villain\, but a neighbor.\n*Adrian will be bringing live snakes for viewing as part of the in-person presentation. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAdrian Slade is a naturalist and herpetologist based in Central Washington\, where she has spent the past decade observing snakes in their natural habitats. A lifelong snake appreciator\, her work is guided by the desire to give back to the quiet\, misunderstood creatures who bring her joy and peace.\nHer research focuses on the natural history\, behavior\, and conservation of Pacific Northwest reptiles – especially northern pacific rattlesnakes and the imperiled striped whipsnake. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biology from Central Washington University\, where she studied under Dr. Dan Beck. Her graduate research examined the effects of utility-scale solar energy on reptiles in Southern California. \nToday\, she leads a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife–funded project to map the distribution and support the recovery of striped whipsnakes in the mid-Columbia Basin shrubsteppe. She is passionate about bridging science and public understanding through storytelling to dispel myths\, foster coexistence\, and share the quiet wonder of a life spent alongside snakes. \nAbout Sense of Place: \n  \n \nFor 16-years\, Sense of Place has connected people through place and storytelling. \nOur flagship speaker series features people with unique knowledge of the Columbia River Gorge and who consider the natural and cultural history that has shaped this place. Guests have included: scientists\, tribal members\, authors\, farmers\, and many others from throughout the Pacific Northwest. The stories shared deepen our understanding of the Gorge and strengthen our connection to the landscape and to each other. \nLearn more about Sense of Place and check out our online archive and past events HERE.\nFor more information\, visit senseofplacegorge.org or follow on Instagram @senseofplacegorge.
