One of the most sought-after performing storytellers in the United States, with a silly putty voice, hilarious heart-filled stories, and amazing mouth noises (arguably, the greatest whistler in the world) one-person-showman, Andy Offutt Irwin, is equal parts mischievous schoolboy and the Marx Brothers, peppered with a touch of the Southern balladeer.

Andy will be joined by storytellers Darci Tucker and Gayle Turner.

Gayle Turner has been telling stories since they were called lies. Appearing on stage for over 60 years, Gayle revels in sharing personal stories as well as tales from literature and history. As CEO of The Storytellers Channel, he delights in helping people tell their stories well. He is the Executive Producer of The Hearts Afire Storytelling Series, the Mountain Mac Virginia Liars Contest and the Stories Matter! Workshops and Showcases.

Darci Tucker is an historian, author, playwright, actress and storyteller. She portrays more than 20 women from American history, and performs in venues nationwide. She literally wrote the book on how to portray people from history and literature, and she trains teachers and museum professionals to teach through storytelling and character interpretation.

6-8pm - Free Event

Join us for a very special exhibit grand opening featuring works from our OMA (Opening Minds Through Art) Center - Opening Minds through Art is a Scripps intergenerational art program for people with dementia aimed at promoting their social engagement, autonomy, and dignity through the experience of creative self-expression.

Come out to see and support their art. Plus, enjoy new works by Tanya M. Green and Rosalind Koons!

BIOLOGICAL MYSTICISM - Explore the imagined lifeforms created in Rosalind Koons’ sculptural works. This exhibit delves into the relationship between the alien body and the human body. Presented as fictional scientific study, explore the connection between these otherworldly bodies and the human form. Through her work, Koons reflects on her personal experience with chronic illness, using her sculptural alien forms as proxies.

FRAGMENTS OF BEAUTY: CRYSTAL, GLASS & NATURE CLOSE-UP - Tanya Green’s art is a vibrant exploration of form and light. Through close-up observation and a keen eye for detail, she magnifies the small wonders of the world into striking pieces. Her work plays with scale and the way glassware fractures our perception.

Admission is free with a wine/beer cash bar that supports our art outreach programs!
