in Interactive Art Experience
at AVC Art Gallery
----------------------------------
Visiting artists will conduct interactive art experiences on May 14 at 2 p.m. and 2 p.m. May 23 at the Antelope Valley College Art Gallery, 3041 W. Ave. K, Lancaster.
Community members and students are invited to participate in the free sessions, which call for participants to create a project through the direction and mentoring of the artists, culminating in a presentation at the end of the workshop.
Artists Rebecca Niederlander and Brad Howe will lead the first workshop on May 14. The second workshop will feature Jennifer Vanderpool and Patrick Melroy, Southern California-based artists who have a collaborative installation, Astroflowers, at Lancaster’s Museum of Art and History.
Melroy’s practice exists most often as interactive objects and experiences designed to engage an audience. Throughout 2011 and 2012, Melroy executed several large public art projects for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
Vanderpool creates spatial interventions that often include experimental video and audio. She has exhibited at museums and galleries in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Colombia.
The Art Gallery is located in building Fine Arts 1 (FA1) on the southwest portion of the campus. Upon request three business days before the event, reasonable accommodation will be provided to facilitate the participation of covered individuals with disabilities.

City of Lancaster Joins Global
Campaign for 100% Renewable
Energy at International Conference
City of Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris shed light once again on the importance of renewable energy resources and the positioning of his home city as a world leader in shifting how communities manage their present and future energy assets.
Mayor Parris joined some of the most accomplished people from all over the world at the Pathways to 100% Renewable Energy Conference in San Francisco.
Organized by the Renewables 100 Policy Institute, the charge for this gathering of worldly experts across numerous agencies, councils, businesses and municipalities is to study, collaborate and advance the global shift to 100% renewable energy.
Flanked by leaders in energy, research, consulting, education, innovation, and even a Nobel Prize winner, Mayor Parris brought Lancaster to the forefront of this world stage to address how local communities and regions can shift to 100% renewable energy and beyond.
“Net zero is attainable and inevitable for all of us,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris. “It is not a matter of if, but when and how the 100% renewable energy future will become reality. This inaugural conference is yet another testament to the direction in which we all must move.”
During his presentation, Mayor Parris emphasized that growth in the renewable energy realm isn’t about having deep pockets with which to fund research and projects.
As a modest municipality and a mid-sized desert city, Lancaster well exceeds more affluent cities such as San Jose and San Diego in the generation of “solar watts per capita.” San Diego provides 38 watts per capita, while San Jose boasts 61 watts per capita.
The City of Lancaster more than doubles the latter with 177 watts per capita. Parris attributes this proof in numbers to the City’s natural resources.
The City of Lancaster has set the path to renewable energy transformation ablaze over the last few years as it runs full speed toward its goal of being the Solar Capital of the World.
The City’s advantageous geographical positioning which provides intense sun most of the year, coupled with its vast land availability, makes it a uniquely valuable location in the alternative energy arena.
Furthermore, the progressive leadership of Lancaster has insisted on exemplifying a no-holds-barred approach to doing business and thinking outside of established “norms” regarding city operations.
“We will move mountains for any organization which wishes to launch their move toward 100% renewable energy in Lancaster’s backyard,” Parris stated. “Partnerships are what pave the way to success; partnerships and persistence. We invite everyone to trail blaze with us into the future.”
The City of Lancaster was exceptionally well-received at the Pathways’ international platform. Mayor Parris had invigorating private discussions with Renewables 100 Policy Institute Founder, Angelita M. Galiteva; Stanford Senior Fellow and Woods Institute Director of Atmosphere/Energy Program, Mark Z. Jacobson; and San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee, among others.

well as upgrades to much of the flooring
which is now a neutral tone 16" tile.
