A strong
weekly
lineup
Registration is now open for the winter
2020 session of Art Fridays, the popular
youth arts learning program based at the
Newport Visual Arts Center.
Presented by Oregon Coast Council
for the Arts, the session will run from
February 7 to March 20 and focus
on paper and book arts — covering
techniques from book construction and
binding to block printing, painting with
paper and transferring images onto paper.
Th e Art Fridays program is geared toward
5th to 8th graders from nine to 13 years of
age.
Art Fridays classes are led by
experienced instructors and practicing
artists. Following the winter session,
students will be invited to display their
work during April and May at the
Newport Visual Arts Center, coinciding
with the 2020 Newport Paper & Book
Arts Festival.
Go solo, in Manzanita
A new storytelling performance group
will make its coastal debut on Wednesday,
Jan. 29, when Solo Speak arrives at
Manzanita’s Hoff man Center for the Arts.
Led by professional actress Shay Knorr,
Solo Speak is a forum for the sharing of
personal stories for grown-ups.
Knorr started the project in Bend
in 2013 before moving Portland where
she produced a monthly show called
“Nevertheless We Persist — Stories by
Women” from 2017 to 2018.
“Lives = Stories” will be Solo Speak’s fi rst
show since moving to the beach last year.
Th ese are real life true stories of people’s
lives told without notes.
“Th e art of storytelling can bring
groups together,” Knorr said, “can bring
understanding to people from diff erent
backgrounds and beliefs, can share pain and
joy and let us know we are not alone.”

Knorr has been a professional actress
since age 10 and a producer, director, singer,
playwright, improvisational performer and
artist for more than 25 years. Th e past few
years brought her to the solo performing
of personal stories after she wrote, directed,
produced and performed in her own one
woman show “Why Can’t I Marry the Cute
Beatle” in 2008. She then performed with
Portland Story Th eater and fell in love with
story telling. Solo Speak was created out of
that love and produces professional story
telling shows and off ers workshops for the
novice performer.
Th e Jan. 29 session will start at 7:30 pm
at 594 Laneda Avenue.
Admission is $20 at the door or $17
online at https://hoff manarts.org.
Knorr will also lead an introductory
workshop on how to bring stories to life on
the stage.
