About the Artist

Don Parr is a Dallas financial advisor and artist. While living in New York City in the 1970s, he was inspired by the contemporary artists in the abstract impressionist, minimalist and color field genres and created his first paintings. After a 35-year hiatus he returned to his art, using color field and abstract impressionist techniques with aviation themes. Many of his current works employ aluminum panels and constructions with aircraft designs and are the focus of his 2012 show, Vectors, at The Frontiers of Flight Museum in Dallas.

Parr’s works portray the functional aesthetics of aircraft design —an elegant balance of strength, weight, and aerodynamic efficiency. His art captures the essence of this balance with artistic abstraction that facilitates appreciation of the underlying uncontrived, pure aesthetics. He focuses on early airplanes with fabric covered wood frames as well as those with all-metal construction with riveted aluminum panels. Parr constantly seeks new methods to celebrate this extraordinary expression of function rarely found in man-made products.

The Frontiers of Flight Museum is located on the southeast corner of Dallas Love Field Airport at 6911 Lemmon Avenue (at University). Over 25 aircraft and space vehicles are on display, including the Command Module from the Apollo 7 space mission, a complete Southwest Airlines Boeing 737, and the one-of-a-kind Vought V-173 “Flying Pancake.” Comprehensive and engaging exhibits include thousands of rare aviation artifacts, photographs and memorabilia. Hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Regular admission rates are $8 for adults; $6 for seniors (65+); $5 for children/youth ages 3 through 17; and free for children under age 3. For more information, call (214) 350-1651 or visit www.flightmuseum.com.

downloadable press release •

Dallas Architecture Forum, the non-profit organization dedicated to providing challenging and on-going public discourse about architecture will present a moderated panel discussion on Cross-Cultural Art and Architecture of Synagogues on Tuesday, April 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the Dallas Center for Architecture, 1909 Woodall Rodgers, Ste. 100. Admission is free. Etty Horowitz, a sculptor, will serve as Moderator. For more information on the Dallas Architecture Forum, visit www.dallasarchitectureforum.org. For questions about the Forum, call 214-764-2406. Panel Season Sponsors are Heather + Ray Balestri, Cindy+ Armond Schwartz, and Talley Associates.

The design parameters and embellishment of Jewish sacred spaces follow millennia of precedent, from the actual dimensions of Solomon’s Temple to liturgical symbolism of Ark, Bimah and Menorah. This panel will look at ancient worship places in Israel and discuss the relationships with contemporary architectural practice including projects in the North Central Texas area.

About the moderator:

Born in Israel, Etty Horowitz has lived in Fort Worth, Texas since 1993. She earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture from the Technion Institute in Israel, and then studied art at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1996, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Horowitz is an accomplished sculptress with a diverse exhibition record spanning 20 years.

Horowitz strives to express strong connections between art and the cultures it represents, and often combines visual art with architecture, dance, and theater. Her pieces incorporate a variety of materials, including metal, stone, and bronze. Horowitz’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in TX, ME, MI, NM, AR, and NY. She has been featured in several periodicals, and her art is part of many collections. Horowitz also enjoys discussing her work, and has presented lectures in galleries and museums around the country.

Panelists are: Jed Morse, Curator at the Nasher Sculpture Center; Max Levy, FAIA; John Mullen, AIA; and Jeff Whittington of KERA. Kevin SLOAN, ASLA, will serve as Moderator.

For more information on the Dallas Architecture Forum, visit www.dallasarchitectureforum.org or call 214-764-2406. Panel Season Sponsors are Heather + Ray Balestri, Cindy+ Armond Schwartz, and Talley Associates. This Panel’s sponsor is Luxe Magazine.

The new AT&T Performing Arts Center, Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge by Santiago Calatrava and Perot Museum of Nature and Science by Thom Mayne, establishes Dallas as an architectural patron that’s ready for the next question. If Dallas were to grow an architectural culture that is exportable, what would it be? Setting aside their own interests and personal ambitions, panelists will speculate on what Dallas already has that could form the underpinnings of an offering to architectural culture.

Chili Cookoff at White Rock Local Market :: March 24, 2012

admin — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 13:00:52 +0000

Sign up now for Chili competition

map • add to calendar • scroll to the end for more sharing options

White Rock Local Market continues its fourth season of markets and launches its new membership program with a Chili Cookoff on Saturday March 24, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Green Spot Market and Fuels, 702 N. Buckner Blvd. in East Dallas.

To sign up for the Chili Cookoff, go to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHg2VXlxb3NoeFlPNlVGdXBmS0dNY2c6MQ#gid=0

Judges for the March 24 contest are chefs Jeffery Hobbs (Sissy’s, Suze), Graham Dodds (Central 214) and Brian Luscher (The Grape). Winners take home vintage trophies and gift certificates for market products.

History is sketchy when it comes to chili. One folktale suggests that chili may have originated as a way to dispose of Spanish Conquistadors. Also, its consumption may have been a way of justifying the actions of Billy the Kid. Some families make chili as a guarantee that the kids will eat and enjoy a home-cooked meal. Chili can be calculated carefully by an enthusiast, or desperately concocted by a busy American family throwing in everything but the kitchen sink.

Whatever the reason for chili, we know that chili is as seasonal as it gets. Chili blends local and preserved peppers and spices, marauding (ex: local, grass-fed) cattle, the dried beans from storage and the preserved tomatoes from last summer’s bumper crop under the Texas sun. In March, our summer harvests are still growing and we need to eat from the pantry. What better way to celebrate than to throw together a pot of early spring chili?

WRLM’s Spring 2012 Chili Cook-off will help WRLM launch its first ever membership program that allows customers to support WRLM. Member benefits range from discounts at area businesses, to a custom-shopping tote designed by Dallas’ Banner Theory, to exclusive WRLM workshops and farm tours – and more!

Food vendors at this market: organic growers Farmer Jones Plants and Produce, Texas Worm Ranch and Good Earth Organics are back, as well as Kitchen Pride Mushrooms. Later in the spring, we will be joined by Rae Lilli Farm, Sachse Heritage Farms, Larken Farms and Lightsey Farms. Juha Ranch returns with grass fed beef, chicken, lamb, pork and eggs; Homestead Heritage will be there with their wide variety of meats and cheeses. Eagle Mountain Cheese, Grapevine Grains, The Tamale Company, Lucido’s Pasta, and Texas Olive Ranch. Empire Baking and Village Baking Company will be there, along with Tough Cookie Vegan Bakery and newcomers The Bread Crumb and EMA Baking. Corked in Texas will bring wines from Lone Oak Winery in Burleson, including the 2010 Texas Viognier, which won double gold at the prestigious San Francisco Wine Competition last month. And more…

The event is free. See http://www.whiterocklocalmarket.com for more information or call 214-797-4989. For a complete list of vendors go here: http://www.whiterocklocalmarket.com/vendors.html

White Rock Local Market is a non-profit 501(c)(3), independent farmers market, a public space offering a venue for local farmers, ranchers and artisans to bring what they grow or make and sell directly to the East Dallas neighborhood. The mission is to strengthen the community by creating a meeting place for residents to buy fresh, local and healthy foods, and quality arts and crafts. WRLM happens twice a month (from March through December) – the second and fourth Saturday – at The Green Spot Market and Fuels, 702 N. Buckner Blvd. The second Saturday includes all vendors – food and crafts. The fourth Saturday is just for farmers, growers and artisan foods.

Founder of Better Block to speak

The Dallas Architecture Forum is pleased to announce that Jason Roberts, co-founder of Better Block, will speak Wednesday, Feb. 29 at 7 p.m. at the Magnolia Theatre, 3699 McKinney Ave. in Uptown Dallas. Season Benefactor is Briggs-Freeman Real Estate. The Spring Series Benefactors are Jackson Walker LLP and Rogers O’Brien Construction Company.

Tickets are $20 per lecture for general admission and $5 for students (with ID). Tickets can be purchased at the door before the lecture. Dallas Architecture Forum members receive free admission to all regular Forum lectures as a benefit of membership, and AIA members can earn one hour of CE credit for each lecture. For more information, visit www.dallasarchitectureforum.org, email director@dallasarchitectureforum.org or call 214-764-2406.

Jason Roberts

Opposite to the ‘top down’ concept of urban design is BETTER BLOCK, founded in Dallas’ Oak Cliff by Jason Roberts and Andrew Howard. The Better Block project is a demonstration tool that temporarily re-visions an area to show the potential to create a walk-able, vibrant, neighborhood center. The idea and the charrettes to realize it have quickly spread to cities like Memphis, St. Louis, New York, and Boston. National media coverage includes NPR, the Washington Post, and the New York Times.

Jason Roberts is the President and founder of the Oak Cliff Transit Authority, originator of the Better Block Project and co-founder of the Art Conspiracy and Bike Friendly Oak Cliff. In 2006, Jason formed the non-profit organization, Oak Cliff Transit Authority, to revive the Dallas streetcar system, and later spearheaded the city’s effort in garnering a $23 Million dollar TIGER stimulus grant from the FTA to help reintroduce a modern streetcar system to Dallas. In 2010, Jason organized a series of “Better Block” projects, taking blighted blocks with vacant properties in Southern Dallas and converting them into temporary walk-able districts with pop-up businesses, bike lanes, cafe seating, and landscaping. The project is now being duplicated across the nation, and in 2011, the American Society of Landscape Architects bestowed a National Honor Award to Team Better Block for its work while heralding the Better Block project as “a 21st -century version of what the Chicago World’s Fair did in 1893.”

Dallas Architecture Forum Panel Discussion with Paul Field

Dallas Architecture Forum, the non-profit organization dedicated to providing challenging and on-going public discourse about architecture will present a moderated panel discussion on The Art of Building – Rethinking the Role of the Architect on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Dallas Center for Architecture, 1909 Woodall Rodgers, Ste. 100. Admission is free. Paul Field, Assoc. AIA, will serve as Moderator. For more information on the Dallas Architecture Forum, visit www.dallasarchitectureforum.org. For questions about the Forum, call 214-764-2406.

The original definition of architect as master builder has been compartmentalized and the new role more narrowly defined as design professional. Which role makes more sense for the architect of tomorrow?

About the moderator

Paul Field began his career in the experimental office of Cunningham Architects in Dallas, where he worked on a variety of commercial, institutional and award-winning residential projects. At Cunningham, he utilized his creative skills to develop conceptual solutions to his client’s needs. Field received a bachelor of Architecture from the University of Carleton at Ottawa, Canada, graduating with distinction in 1999. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects and the U.S. Green Building Council. In 2006 Field partnered with Braxton Werner to form the multi-disciplinary firm Wernerfield.

About the Artist:

Jean Louis Charles Garnier (1825-1898) was a French architect, born on Nov. 6, 1825, in Paris. He became the apprentice of the French architect Louis Hippolyte Lebas and learned neoclassical style design. He was a full time student at École des Beaux-Arts in 1841. Garnier spent 5 years in Italy after winning the Grand Prix de Rome in 1848 at the age of 23. He later traveled through Greece and found architectural influence among the ruins there. Garnier entered the competition for the Académie Nationale de Musique, better known as the Opéra, in Paris in 1861. He won fifth prize in the first stage of a two-phase competition and later that year won the commission selected from over 171 entries. The Opéra was built from 1862 to 1867; the interiors were not completed until 1874. The folio Le Nouvel Opera de Paris was published in 1878 to honor Garnier’s grand design.

About Steplings

Kirkus Reviews says the story is “realistic and poignant” and “rich in psychological insight and lit with occasional flashes of humor.”

Library Thing declares that the characters of Jason and Emily in Steplings “take on vivid personality and the relationships deepen in a delightfully believable way…The two make page-turning strides toward responsibility and maturity as they learn what an awesome task it is to take responsibility for each other.”

The Story

It’s 2003 with the country embroiled in a war in Iraq. Nineteen-year-old Jason Sanborn feels lost. He dropped out of high school just two months shy of graduation, and now his former classmates are off to college, the military, or minimum-wage jobs. The only pressing date on his calendar is an upcoming appearance in court on an assault charge, and when his over-achieving, beloved girlfriend, Lisa, departs for UT Austin to study premed, Jason can hardly abide his hometown of Mesquite. When his mother died two years back, his father Burl, fifteen years sober, fell off the wagon briefly, but he has since met a new wife, Lily, in AA. Lily brings a daughter into the house: Emily, an eleven-year-old know-it-all whose existence irritates Jason.  Three days before Jason’s court date, he gets a “we can still be friends” letter from Lisa. Heartbroken and determined to convince Lisa of his worth, Jason decides to hitchhike to Austin. Since Emily also hates the new family circle, she is desperate to rejoin her father, a UT professor, so she demands to accompany Jason on his mission. When Burl and Lily find their children missing, Lily puts out an Amber Alert for Emily, accusing Jason of abducting her daughter. The frantic search that ensues threatens to destroy the tentative household that Burl and Lily have just begun to establish, and the end of the journey brings surprises for both the children and their parents.
