Tonopah, NV (No. 1)

Tonopah is an unincorporated town in, and the county seat of, Nye County, Nevada, United States. Nicknamed the Queen of the Silver Camps for its mining-rich history, it is now primarily a tourism-based resort city, notable for attractions like the Mizpah Hotel and the Clown Motel.

Tonopah is located at the junction of U.S. Routes 6 and 95, approximately midway between Las Vegas and Reno. In the 2010 census, the population was 2,478. The census-designated place (CDP) of Tonopah has a total area of 16.2 square miles (42 km2), all land.

The American community began circa 1900 with the discovery of silver-rich ore by prospector Jim Butler. The legendary tale of discovery says that he went looking for a burro that had wandered off during the night and sought shelter near a rock outcropping. When Butler discovered the animal the next morning, he picked up a rock to throw at it in frustration, noticing that the rock was unusually heavy. He had stumbled upon the second-richest silver strike in Nevada history.

Rachel's Cafe and Creperie, Lancaster

Ellie, off campus art news, travels to Lancaster, PA to visit her favorite brunch spot. Featuring artists with disabilities, Rachel's Creperie is a positive force and outlet for the community to enjoy amazing food and art. #MarywoodArt #Mural

Hello again everyone! Over spring break I went down the Lancaster to visit some family. This visit gave me the opportunity to highlight my godmother and I’s breakfast spot, Rachel’s Cafe and Creperie. Not only are the crepes delicious, the exterior and interior make anyone who walks in feel like they’ve traveled to Paris. I’d really like to call out the mural painted on the side of the building,…

I’ve already sent an ask before but i have a deeply important. What did Lancaster what the mural spot in 52 for. I need it not only for a fic but to satisfy my desire for knowledge! Knowing this would make my day, love your work, thank you!!

It's a mystery. but perhaps it was some kind of beast and creature

guys meet me at the tony curtis mural or the burt lancaster/tony curtis stars on the hollywood walk of fame which are right next to each other btw in a very "not gay" kind of situation if you want to fucking fight

I desperately need to know what Lancaster wanted to put on that mural spot so insanely badly in ep 52. I need it for a fanfiction and its so sad we never find out unless i’m deaf or smth. That man was dead set on having it and i need to know what incredible idea he had…

[momo-de-avis]

Well now I'm sad (about the paintings). Were they destroyed on purpose during battles and such, or was it normal decay?

two things, technically three

Eathrquakes being number one. I use the plural here because it wasn't just the 1755 one. That one was the strongest, but not the only one. In 1630, for example, Lisbon suffered a terrible earthquake that caused enough destruction. I believe that one was an estimated 7 or something on Richter scale

The second reason was Napoleonic invasions. And here is where ti divides into two reasons, because both the french and the english stole a lot of shit. I vividly remember asking my prof which did he think caused more destruction/disappearance of artoworks overall, the earthquake or the invasions, and he considered it for a while and came to the conclusion that it was both. We know for a fact that the french stole a lot of works from monasteries mostly. But the english did so to. They vandalised a lot of stuff, and a lot of paintings disappeared. We had Van Der Weydens in the country that vanished, and we know they existed because we have every documentation (sometimes even drawing reproductions) except the painting.

It would also justify why Portugal seemingly has no paintings of its kings and queens before John I, and even after that, until Manuel I it's like paintings of kings and quees are a rarity. Which does not make sense. Leonor, wife of John II, would have a court painting sent to her cousin Maximillian, emperor of the holy roman empire or whatever it was called. But we have exactly two depictions left of her, both as a widow, one in a painting and one on a mural. Before her, only Isabella of Portugal, Duchess of burgundy, and Philippa of Lancaster have paintings, though the latter is in illuminated manuscripts mostly. Also Infanta Santa Joana. And as for kings, we have of John I, King Duarte (ARGUABLY BUT I'M NOT GETTING INTO IT), Afonso V and some other infantas. Many of them illuminated manuscripts too.

To quote my professor, who was honestly one of the best profs I had, "I bet my ass there's a painting of an unknown lady somewhere in the Louvre's reservoirs that is Queen Leonor"

experimenting with flaneur as a concept

After looking at flaneur magazine i wanted to experiment with the art of wandering, so Im collecting some images based on this to see what it turns ojt like.

Lancaster provided an interesting place to do this, specifically morecambe and bare seafront, I had never been before allowing me to explore in a way that meant i wasn't expecting anything or looking for anything in particular. I explored some of the textures, shops, buildings, and statues, and there was a surprising amount of street art/murals that meant i could gather more about the town even though it didn't seem like this.

Kaleidoscope

I wanted to post a few shots of the venue because I had never gone to a show hosted inside a recording studio. It was fun to see products of the creative process painted on the walls. Made for a relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely attend more acoustic shows like this.

p.s. obsessed with journals as band merch, guys. My fetish for stationary has been politely paired with music. Super happy to finally have a shirt too after seeing them 6 (or 7?) times.

Lancaster has been designated a Certified Welcoming city for the past three years, and it was the first city in Pennsylvania to receive the designation, noted Gabrielle Buzgo, program manager with the city’s Department of Neighborhood Engagement. This means the city has “policies and programs in place that empower and support immigrants and refugees,” Buzgo explained.

Although the design won’t be finalized until the artist or artists are selected, the Welcoming Mural will reflect that part of Lancaster’s story.

“We are looking for an artist who can speak to the experience of being a refugee or immigrant in Lancaster or South Central Pennsylvania,” Buzgo said. “We’re really looking for someone who has the story and the ability to turn that story into a visual piece.”

The City of Lancaster is currently accepting artists’ applications for the project. As language barriers may be a challenge for prospective artists, the application has been translated into Spanish, Arabic, Swahili, and Nepali in addition to English.

Artists who apply do not have to have experience working with murals, they just need to have a creative vision and artistic skills. The selected artist or artist team will work with experienced local muralist Shauna Yorty throughout the process of developing and producing the artwork.
