This presentation presents both the well-known and the unsung women who left their mark on Pinal County. Featured are pioneers\, Native American women\, authors\, educators\, women in the military\, entrepreneurs and a few criminal women who left their marks as well. \nSpeaker: Chris Reid (she/her)\, Retired from Pinal County Historical Museum\, Life Long\nLearning at Anthem at Merrill Ranch Arizona Speaks \nSpeaker Bio: Christine Reid is intrigued by Arizona’s diverse and rich western heritage as a writer and researcher with the Pinal County Historical Society and Community Scholar for the Anthem at Merrill Ranch lifelong learning program.

SUMMARY:Postcards of Joy | A Creative Block Printing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Guided by travelling artist Shannon Rose Moriarty\, create postcards that capture the moments that bring you the most joy\, whether they’re big or small. This workshop will encourage participants to design postcards that celebrate happiness\, moments of pure bliss\, and things that make life worth smiling about. Using simple block printing techniques\, participants will transform their joyful memories into tangible\, shareable works of art. This workshop is open to artists of all skill levels and is designed to nurture creativity and self-expression. Whether you’re new to printmaking or an experienced artist\, you’ll be guided through the process in a supportive and welcoming environment. \n  \nShannon Rose Moriarty is a traveling teaching artist who believes in the creative power of authenticity and connection. With over a decade of experience in arts education and community outreach\, she creates workshops across the country that invite people to slow down\, explore\, and rediscover joy through making. Traveling in her vintage camper\, Shannon transforms each stop into a creative gathering—using storytelling\, drawing\, and reflection to help participants express moments of stillness\, belonging\, and play. Her multidisciplinary practice includes ceramics\, printmaking\, cyanotype\, and collage\, exploring how creativity can ground us\, empower us\, and bring people together. Through her workshops and postcard designs inspired by life on the road\, Shannon reminds others that art isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence\, curiosity\, and connection. \n  \nClass participants must be 18+. Pre-registration is required. Register at https://7830.blackbaudhosting.com/7830/Postcards-of-Joy.
