Artist Bio:
Hey! I’m Cj, some of you might know me as Colby. I grew up in the Wenatchee Valley and I’m a bit of a maker and doer. At the moment, I am an animation major at Cornish College of the Arts who has totally fallen in love with printmaking. Here are some recent works from the last year or so. I hope people like my art and if not, then they can at least get a nice little nose huff out of it like when you see a dinky meme on the internet.

South @ Pybus
2025-01-03 11:00 - 21:00 | SOUTH in Pybus, North Worthen Street, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
Join us this First Friday and toast to the legacy of Rufino Tamayo with the Tamayo Sunset! 🌅🍹
Unlike his contemporaries Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco, whose murals were steeped in political commentary, Tamayo chose a different path. He focused on capturing the spirit of Mexico through universal themes, vibrant colors, and his Zapotec heritage. His work celebrated the beauty and complexity of human experience without overt political messages, making it distinct and timeless.
The Tamayo Sunset reflects this individuality with its unique blend of reposado tequila, prickly pear purée, pineapple juice, lime, and agave. Served with a Tajín-rimmed glass and fresh pineapple, this cocktail is as striking and layered as Tamayo’s art.
Come experience a drink inspired by an artist who redefined Mexican art on his own terms. See you Friday! 🌅🍹

TJ Farrell grew up in Colorado and has made Wenatchee her home for nearly 30 years. She makes up silly little rhymes at the drop of a hat and inappropriately inserts them into conversations. This book was a labor of love, inspired by everyone who ever showed her a picture of their pet, and the amazing diversity of the canine world. She also acts in local theater, makes over-the-top Halloween costumes, does voice acting, podcasts with her friends, and enjoys playing Dungeons & Dragons and video games.

Aram Joao Mestre León and Almir Ulises Mestre León are twin self-taught illustrators based in Las Tunas, Cuba. Since a young age, they’ve been drawn to the world of storytelling and self-expression through colorful images, and their artworks often contain elements of fantasy.

Featured Artist: Connie Hirschman Shorb.
Connie started drawing as a child, continued through her school years and began working in mixed media before it was called mixed media. She spent several years designing and creating computer pixelated designs at a time when computers were still new technology. That period greatly influenced the geometric design approach seen in her work today.
“ I’m most comfortable working with a variety of mixed media to create multiple types of non-objective designs. My canvasses exhibit a balance of colors, forms, and textures. The two-dimensional canvas is developed with flexibility, movement and attention to detail based on a variety of surface treatments. I use basic design principles, pure color, geometric forms and even sculptural effects to create a “visual experience”. My artwork is something significant in itself, not an imitation of life. It can produce a mood, an emotion, a sense of order or simply something unique to enjoy. ” ~ Connie Herschman Shorb

Shine Song Circle every month on the 1st – locations will vary. November: Join us for Wenatchee First Friday at iLa Yoga!
What is a Shine Song Circle?
It’s a gathering where we come together to sing simple, heartfelt songs that uplift and inspire. Your voice becomes more than just a musical instrument—it’s a tool for healing, mental clarity, building true confidence, and awakening a deeper sense of awareness.
Unlike many musical events where you simply listen, Shine Song Circles are an active experience. It’s not about how your voice sounds, but how it feels within. This is a safe space for self-expression, where you can let go and connect deeply with yourself and others. Be ready for movement, joy, and soul connections, all powered by our collective voices.
We’ll sing old songs, new songs, soft ones, loud ones, funny, tender, and everything in between. Yours, mine, and ours. No experience is necessary—just come as you are, with an open heart (and a little water). Everyone is welcome!

Featured Artist: Rogue Legacy Woodcraft!

As always, we will have $2 off our menu cocktails.

Here’s a little from the artist:
My name is Tom Baxter, and I am the owner and craftsman behind Rogue Legacy Woodcraft. I specialize in creating custom live-edge and epoxy resin pieces that bring nature and artistry together. Influenced by a family full of creativity, I’ve channeled that passion into my work.

The name Rogue Legacy Woodcraft comes from my own journey. As a dialysis patient for 13 years, I’ve had my share of challenges, but I never let that define or limit me. I made the choice to go rogue from the path life set out for me and decided to craft my own legacy, turning my passion for woodworking into a business that reflects my strength and creativity. Every piece I craft is a unique blend of skill and vision, and I’m driven by a desire to create something lasting, both in the art I make and in the legacy I leave for my family. When I’m not in the shop, you can find me spending my time with my wife, Rachel, daughter, Zoey, and our dogs, Mystique and Barbie.
