Art for Footprints Of Uganda

Art show and fundraiser for nonprofit “Footprints Of Uganda” with 50% of proceeds going toward building a well in Uganda
Opening April 4, 5-7pm and on display thru April
Local artist OurNaturalState will be showcasing his new series about joy and what joy looks like, commemorating the joy the tribes would feel in Uganda when “Footprints Of Uganda” get their new well water, installed.
The opening reception will feature food, music, 1,000 balloons , friends, family, and more!

OurNaturalState is a mixed medium artist that uses his art to help people become more aware of themselves, through art. This self taught artist has mixed the bridge of self-discovery and using art to dive deeper into who he really is. Through his wild characters he helps get stuck feelings,unstuck with abstract art. From radical acceptance as in “whatever lands on the paper is meant to be on the paper”. As well as body mapping techniques, where he feels the entire body and paints it onto the canvas. His only mission is to help as many people, become more aware of themselves, and bring them back to their natural selves.
Footprints of Uganda is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering rural communities in Uganda through sustainable development initiatives. We focus on providing access to clean water, education, and community support programs that create lasting change. From building wells to sponsoring children’s education and fostering local sports teams, we are committed to making a meaningful impact. Every donation and partnership helps us leave a footprint of hope and opportunity in the lives of those who need it most.

Chess Tournament
2025-04-12 10:15 - 14:00
Come and show off your skills Saturday April 12th, 2025 from 10:15am to 2pm. Chess sets and chess clocks are provided so that all you have to do is sit and play! NOTE the tournament is capped at 48 entries so try to enter early if possible. Hope to see you there! REGISTER
What is the format of the tournament? It ran in what is known as a chess quad. All of the players that enter will be broken up into groups of 4 based on their ratings and will play everyone in their group once. Players who obtain the most points in their group win the prize (win=1 point, draw=0.5 point, loss=0 points). It is done in this format so that the games stay relatively competitive and are not completely lopsided.
This tournament does require a USCF (United States Chess Federation) membership to join. Pricing and joining methods can be found via link (https://new.uschess.org/join-us-chess). If this is your USCF rated chess event your rating will begin as “unrated” for the tournament.
Can these chess games go on forever?No. All games are timed at Game 30 delay 5. This means, for each game, both players will have 30 minutes to make all of their moves for the game. Delay 5 means that your time will not start counting down until 5 seconds have passed on your turn. There are three methods of winning a chess game. Checkmating the opponent’s king, your opponent resigns, or your opponent runs out of time.
Any question be sure to contact the tournament director at moledomiguel@gmail.com

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR (COLLEEN PUGLIA):
Since childhood I’ve loved creating. 10 years ago I took an online class to make simple hoop earrings and it was then I found my home in metal smithing. I spent the years taking classes around the country learning new techniques and being exposed to several different artists’ practices. My jewelry has a raw and rustic aesthetic evoking a feeling of warmth and connection.
