Many Eugene
groups are holding ceremonies and hosting commemoration
events this Sunday to mark the fourth anniversary of 9/11.
The Two Rivers Interfaith Ministries (TRIM) is holding
Interfaith Prayer and Reflection Services with
the theme "Acceptance of the Divine in Every Heart." Members
of the Native American community will give the prelude
and the services will begin with the Muslim call to prayer.
Buddhist, Jewish, Protestant Christian, Roman Catholic,
Baha'i, Sikh Dharma, and Hindu faith traditions will be
represented in the services, which were attended by more
than 600 people last year. A reception with refreshments
will follow, and free child care is provided. See Sunday
Calendar.
The
Sixth Annual Mid-Valley Willamette Writers Speakers
Series begins this week with a presentation by Tom
Spanbauer on "Dangerous Fiction: What is it?" Spanbauer
has taught "Dangerous Writing" classes for 15 years
and had 13 students, including Chuck Palahniuk and Joanna
Rose, go on to publish novels. As a writer, Spanbauer
has published three novels of his own, with a fourth
scheduled for publication next spring. In the months
to come, the Speakers Series brings Tracy Daugherty,
Jennifer Lauck, Craig Lesley, John Reed, Laurie Drummond,
Jessica Morrell, Laura Whitcomb and Marc Acito to town,
each presenting on a different aspect of the writer's
life and craft. See Thursday, Sept. 8 Calendar.
With
the arrival of crisp mornings and falling leaves comes
the Mayor's Art Show 2005, the annual art spectacular
at Jacobs Gallery, with the Salon des Refusés just
a few blocks away at DIVA. The show kicks off this year
with a Thursday evening event meant to answer the grand
question "How did the jurors decide?" The event begins
at DIVA with a talk on the history of the Salon des
Refusés, then moves to Jacobs Gallery, where the
jurors will offer insights on their selection process.
Both galleries will be catered and host live music as
well. The next day, both shows have their official openings.
This year's Mayor's Art Show poster features the work
of Peggy Spiess, whose Untitled (pictured at
right) was featured in last year's show. See Calendar.
