Hosty Duo
Norman’s high octane Hosty Duo will fill Lion’s Park with catchy tunes on Sunday, June 21, at 7:30 p.m.  Bring a basket of your favorite refreshments, lawn chairs or blankets for seating, kick back, and enjoy this free Summer Breeze Concert.  Lions Park is at South Flood and Symmes, Norman.

Norman’s own, Mike Hosty and Mike “Tic Tac” Byars have been playing great music together for the past decade.  Both are seasoned musicians who are in no way afraid to try new tricks as well as new forms of old tricks.  A casual sampling of their set might lead one to believe that it would take at least four players to make their sound.  However, after a closer look at Mike Hosty’s feet and Mike Byars economical, locomotive like licks on the drums, it becomes apparent that you are witnessing two superb musicians at the top of their game.

It is sure to be another delightful evening in the park with the Hosty Duo performing.  For additional Summer Breeze information call the Performing Arts Studio at 405-307-9320.   PAS office hours are 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, Tuesday through Friday, and from 1:00 to 5:00 on Sunday.  The Hosty Duo web site is www.hosty.com.

“FORMS LARGE and SMALL” OPENS JUNE 7 IN PAS GALLERY
Monday, 01 June 2009

ImageThe Performing Arts Studio is pleased to present “Forms Large and Small,” paintings by Sue Schofield, on exhibit from June 7 through July 25 in the Norman Depot, 200 South Jones.  A reception for the artist will be held from 2:00 to 4:00 PM on Sunday, June 7.  There is no charge for admission. 

“My life’s story has been varied, exciting, and chaotic to a certain extent” Schofield says.  “I spent almost half my life in New Mexico where I spent six years on a cattle ranch and later became a park ranger at Salinas National Monument -- 17th century Spanish missions ruins at the sites of pre-historic pueblos. These two chapters in my life have influenced much of my later excursion into the arts.”

“My spiritual and aesthetic foundations lie in nature. Living on ranches ... has taught me ways of seeing, recognizing shape and form, and understanding relationships between space and object. Cycles of day into night through the seasons, with their ever-changing light, are constant reminders of the way color, vivid and subtle, shapes the world.

“My journey into making art, from photography to clay sculpture to painting, has shown me the persistence of certain elements that inform my painting today.” says Schofield.  “Structure is the basic and consistent theme in these areas and it continues to be my primary interest.”
