WALLA WALLA —
Crow’s Shadow Institute of
the Arts is gearing up for a
new and improved version
of its popular Monothon
fundraising event.
After a four-year hia-
tus, organizers are excited
to introduce the Mono-
thon 2019 and the Crow’s
Shadow Gala & Art Auc-
tion. Monothon 2019 fea-
tures a week of monotype
printmaking with invited
artists coming from across
the Pacific Northwest to
make prints in the Crow’s
Shadow studio in Mission.
The week will crescendo
with a gala celebration,
including an art auction of
the resulting prints.
The Gala & Art Auction
event is Saturday, July 27
from 6-9 p.m. at Foundry
Vineyards, 1111 Abadie St.,
Walla Walla. Tickets are
$50 per person.

2015 Monothon at the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts.
Enos is among the artists returning for Monothon 2019.
“This event will be an
extraordinary evening of
art, wine, and food, all in
support of Crow’s Shad-
ow’s ongoing program-
ming and projects,” said
Nika Blasser of Crow’s
Shadow. “It will be a fancy
event for us — the Foundry
Vineyards gallery is a very
beautiful
contemporary
space.”
Participating
Mono-
thon printmaking artists
include James Lavadour
(Pendleton), Keiko Hara
(Walla Walla), Joe Fed-
dersen (Omak), Samantha
Wall (Portland), Kaila Far-
rell-Smith (Modoc Point),
Kevin Haas (Pullman),
Brenda Mallory (Portland),
Victor Maldonado (Port-
land), Fox Spears (Seattle),
Yoshihiro Kitai (Portland),
Kirsten Furlong (Boise),
Vanessa Enos (Beaver-
ton) and others. Each art-
ist will spend a day along-
side four other artists in the
Crow’s Shadow print stu-
dio. Crow’s Shadow mas-
ter printer Judith Baumann
will provide assistance.
The artists will work on
a small series of monotype
prints in order to donate at
least two prints to Crow’s
Shadow for the fundraising
auction. In addition, they
will be able to keep some
of their own work from the
day, Blasser said.
A monotype is a com-
pletely unique print made
from ink applied to an
acrylic plate and run
through the press. Each art-
ist will have at least one
print featured in the July 27
Gala Art Auction event, and
one print on an online auc-
tion that will run from Aug.
1-9.

WALLA WALLA —
The life of a wagon master
and prospector is featured
during a living history
presentation at Fort Walla
Walla Museum.
William Rockfellow,
who operated the Rockfel-
low & Co. Pony Express,
will be portrayed by his
great-grandson Dick Phil-
lips. The presentation is
Sunday at 2 p.m. in the
museum’s Pioneer Village.
While working as a
prospector, Rockfellow,
his brother, Albert, and
three Jackson County
friends discovered the
famous Rockfellow ledge
of gold, now known as
the Virtue Mine. They set
up a stamp mill to extract
the ore on Powder River,
and eventually Baker City
grew up around it.
Rockfellow’s wife oper-
ated a boarding house in
Walla Walla. His daugh-
ter, Alice, married Harvey
Meacham, who owned the
Meacham toll road that ran
between Idaho and Ore-
gon, and a hotel near the
summit of the Blue Moun-
tains between La Grande
