Featured Artist: Müge Salmaner of Bonfire Jewelry Design.
I’m Müge Salmaner, the creative force behind the scenes. Bonfire Jewelry Design came to life over a decade ago when I first stepped into a jewelry studio and fell in love with metal and fire. Wearing my initial creations at art and music festivals, I quickly realized how much people resonated with my unique designs—especially women who, like me, embrace hippie, witchy, and earthy aesthetics—pieces that blend the energy of nature with the spirit of festivals. What began as a creative escape grew into a brand rooted in self-expression, sustainability, and a deep connection to the natural world. Every piece I craft is infused with intention, inviting you to carry a bit of nature’s magic with you, celebrate your individuality, and reconnect with a slower, more mindful way of living. Through Bonfire Jewelry Design, I hope to empower you to express your authentic self and honor the beauty within and around you.

Ubuntu emphasizes community building, a way to reapproach our relationships so we can break the artificial borders that separate us and look out for one another. Directing one’s own humanity to others helps us navigate beyond superficial solutions to rethink, adapt, and foster human interconnectedness.
This lecture is free to everyone. Pre-registration is recommended and can be found here.
The 2024-25 Film and Speaker Series is sponsored by Gesa Credit Union. This speaker event is brought to you by Humanities Washington.

The funds raised help sustain our three, on-site vocational programs in Liberia.

Quilt dimensions are 60″ x 60″. Made with West African inspired fabrics, the front side is designed in the style of the Celtic Knots pattern.

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.

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! 🌅🍹

Local Author Book Reading for Kids and the Young at heart!
Join us at Firehouse Pet Shop Friday from 3pm to 6pm, where you can meet local author TJ Farrell. TJ will be reading from her adorable book titled THE ARFABET! A Book of Dog Poems from A to Z. This book would make a lovely holiday gift for any child on your shopping list.
TJ will be reading from her book at 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm. And of course if anyone comes between those times you can expect a special one-on-one reading just for the little ones.
Parents and Grandparents bring the kids on down for the fun! We will also be serving free hot cocoa, hot apple cider, coffee and of course our famous Firehouse Popcorn!
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.
