Sunday, Feb. 17Â Â Â Â Â Â Conversation Project: The Ecology of Creative Space, 2 pm
What can an Aspen grove teach us about communication? What can we learn from a flock of geese about collaboration? Or from a mushroom, about transformation? Oregon is experiencing a shift in the landscape of creative spaces in our communities. Population changes, (dis)investment, public policy or the lack of it, and climate change have all had a hand in opening, closing, and changing places that are important to us culturally and creatively. The natural world — of which we are a part — is constantly changing and evolving and has much to teach us about living in these times. Join facilitator Maesie Speer for a conversation that asks, “Can we find inspiration from our natural surroundings to imagine new ways to build creative spaces?” This conversation will include some hands-on activities. The Lincoln City Cultural Plaza Project hosts this free, public Oregon Humanities Conversation Project event.
*Tuesday, Feb. 19Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Free Grant Workshop & “Conversations With the Funders” Event

Attendees at these free events can learn about funding programs available from multiple grantmakers, and will have the opportunity to discuss their projects and programs with professionals from around the state. The day will begin with a free grant application preparation workshop, presented by Travel Oregon, from 9 am to noon. Then, from 1:30 to 5 pm, the funders will station themselves at tables for an afternoon of “speed-dating” information and conversation. All activities are free, and it’s ok to drop in to the afternoon session. To learn more, contact Niki Price at 541-994-9994 or Aili Schreiner at [email protected] or 503-986-0089.

Sunday, Feb. 24Â Â Â Â Â Â Concert: Jet Black Pearl, 7 pm
It all started 25 years ago in the back of a thrift store in Prague. Jetty Swart stumbled upon a fancy accordion. She smuggled it back home and stared at it for a couple of weeks before she realized that now she had to learn how to play it, and write songs. And sing them. Since then, the Dutch-born Jetty has become the World Wild Accordion Diva, playing from the streets of New York to theaters and festivals in France (with her band Yeti), until she met The Amazing Bubble Man and moved with him to Portland. She now sings in English, but she’s kept her strange accent and her faithful fancy accordion. With her Jet Black Pearl Trio (Tom Goicoechea on drums and Bill Athens on bass) Jetty sings, raps and beat boxes about slugs in love, criminal gurus and hallucinating butterflies. Tickets $15 adv/$17 door/$10 youth. LCCC members get $2 off.
