Wallowa County Chieftain News wallowa.com August 30, 2017 ‘Yokels’ take the stage Photos by Paul Wahl/Chieftain Brian Oliver and John Raines shared guitar duties during Thursday night’s performance of the Local Yokels as part of the summer music series on the courthouse lawn sponsored by Wallowa Valley Music Alliance.

This Thursday is the last concert of the series featuring Rain City Ramblers, a bluegrass and country trio from Se- attle.

Wallowa County A7 Fishtrap to host talk on art, risks Fishtrap and Oregon Humanities will present a spe- cial interactive event with educator and spoken word art- ist Jason Graham, aka MOs- ley WOtta, 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21. The audience will engage in a discussion about creativ- ity, expression and how artists must take risks. Fishtrap is at 400 E Grant St., Enterprise. Admission is free. What do we risk when we lay our- selves open Graham through music, painting or any other art form? What might we give up and what might we gain when we set out to craft some- thing beautiful or provoca- tive or simply expressive that the world did not previously hold? Given today’s artistic econ- omy, to what extent is expo- sure — to other people and of the creative self — desirable? This is the focus of “What We Risk: Creativity, Vul- nerability and Art,” a free conversation. Graham is a Chicago-born, Oregon-based artist and edu- cator. He is a former slam poetry champion for the state of Oregon and is currently an art ambassador for Rise Up International in association with the U.S. Department of State. Graham has been featured multiple times as a TEDx speaker and performer. Most recently, he worked as a jour- nalist in Nauru, a tiny island country in Micronesia.
