Studio tour set at Pine Meadow Ranch

Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture, a project of The Roundhouse Foundation, will host an open studio tour to showcase current artists-in-residence.

The event will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 15, at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts & Agriculture (68467 Three Creeks Rd.). The artists will share their experience at the Ranch and feature artwork created during their residency. This event is free to the public, but advance registration is required.

Guests can expect presentations from multidisciplinary artist Milo O. Vella, abstract painter Sally Finch, as well as the duo No-No Boy, comprised of Julian Saporiti and Emilia Halvorsen.

Milo Vella recently graduated from Cornell University's College Scholar Program and Deep Springs College in Eastern California. He works to research, support, and safeguard Indigenous and heritage-based agroecological systems. He hopes to learn from camas prairie restoration efforts to support parallel work led by Nüümü (Paiute) collaborators in Payahuunadü.

Sally Finch is an abstract painter who works with weather data and other information that is not intended to be experienced visually. Her work manipulates this information to be seen in a distinctive way and creates unique patterns that provide new ways of understanding that specific

information.

Dr. Julian Saporiti and Emilia Halvorsen's scholarship and musicianship join to create the duo No-No Boy. Their album "1975" has been hailed by NPR as "one of the most insurgent pieces of music you'll ever hear" which "re-examines Americana with devastating effect." They will be performing their music during the event.

"This event is part of the Artist Residency program at Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture, and it will be an opportunity for community members to learn more about creative projects where the intersection between art and agriculture is present," said Ana Varas, arts project coordinator. "We hope this open studio creates dialogue, innovative thinking, and sparks curiosity amongst the members of our local community."
