NightVisions 2022: Last Chance to enter the call for entry
NightVisions: Cultural Interpretations of the Night Sky is an international juried art exhibition at Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, AZ that seeks to explore and celebrate our deep connections with the night. In its 8th iteration, we are excited to expand upon the exhibition concept in honor of the legacy of Flagstaff astronomer Carolyn S Shoemaker (June 24, 1929 – August 13, 2021) and her collaborations with husband and geologist Eugene Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 – July 18, 1997), with the inclusion of archival astronomical elements alongside the work of contemporary artists. We are honored to announce the co-curator, amateur astronomer and science writer, David Levy; and three renowned artist jurors Joseph McShane, Paula Jean Rice, and Jerrel Singer to select the artwork from an international pool of submissions. This exhibition will coincide with the grand opening of CCA’s new Digital Resource & Education Center in May 2022. $2500 in jurors’ awards will be announced at the opening reception. Read more about NightVisions 2022 here.
Deadline: February 25, 2022.

Welcome Jason Bohnert as our new Exhibitions Preparator for CCA!
Jason joined the Creative Flagstaff team this month as the Exhibitions Preparator for the Coconino Center for the Arts! Jason is a studio potter, maker, and designer. Earning a B.A. in philosophy, the mindful nature of a potter’s lifestyle, grounded in the rhythm of work cycles, natural materials, renewable resources, and community engagement, was a fitting pursuit. While completing an MFA in Ceramics at West Virginia University, several formative study abroad/apprenticeship opportunities in China and Penland School of Crafts proved aesthetic influences still evident in his ceramic art. After ten years teaching ceramics, drawing, and design at NAU from 2010-2020, Jason is currently building a house, planning a new wood kiln, and has installed an array of solar panels to offset 100% of electricity used for living and studio practice, including electric kiln firings. When not designing, building, and making, Jason can be found on his mountain bike enjoying nature and physical pursuits.
