SUMMARY:Speaking Advocates: Independence
DESCRIPTION:July is the month we celebrate our nation’s independence. It also marks possibly the most important victory in the history of the Disability Rights Movement: the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For people with disabilities\, independence has different meanings. On one hand\, it is the ultimate goal; if achieved\, it signifies the successful dismantling of the social and political barriers that truly “disable” us. If\, on the other hand\, independence proves to be a logistical impossibility\, we adjust our definition accordingly\, and independence becomes something closer to self-determination in which we set the terms for the assistance we require – or in the words of our movement’s slogan\, Nothing About Us Without Us. This month we invite you to share your own definition of independence: what does independence look like for you\, what are the obstacles that stand in your way to a self-determined life\, how do you become independent? \nOur Opening Minds\, Opening Doors Speaking Advocates group is free and meets the last Saturday of every month from 1-3 PM in Room 101 of the AGE of Central Texas Building. We welcome adults with disabilities who are interested in presenting stories and meeting other speakers. Email Eric Clow to RSVP or learn more. \nYou can also RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Art Spark Texas at Library Live!

The students use a combination of analog and digital synthesizers\, samplers\, drum machines\, and modular synthesizers to compose and record original compositions. \nJazz at TSBVI dates back to the 1980s. However\, after laying dormant for some time\, the Jazz program was revived under the leadership of Sasha Klare-Ayvazian in 2015. Today\, the TSBVI Jazz Ensemble\, known as “The New Motown\,” has enjoyed four wonderful seasons of growth\, song learning\, team building\, and performing. The New Motown has performed seasonally at TSBVI semester concerts\, at SCASB\, and at Cherrywood Coffee. The New Motown recorded a 2018 album that can be heard here. And in 2019\, former band member Devin Gutierrez became the ensemble’s assistant director. The 2019 band consists of Victoria Sanders (flute\, vocals)\, Brandon Aleman (clarinet\, vocals)\, Andres Salas (drums\, trombone)\, and Ray Garza (guitar) with Sasha Klare-Ayvazian (director\, bass) and assistant director Devin Gutierrez (piano\, vocals). \nYou can RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates. \nFor more information email Eric Clow or call 512-454-9912.

SUMMARY:Speaking Advocates: Home Ain't What It Used To Be
DESCRIPTION:Home is where we start\, yet it is much more than simply a place. It is the reference point by which we measure how we ourselves have changed\, it is how we interpret the changes swirling around us and observe the passage of time. And the more we change\, so too does our recollection of the past\, our remembrance of home. This month we invite you to share the ways in which your perception of home has shifted over time and how you have changed in the process. \nOur Opening Minds\, Opening Doors Speaking Advocates group is free and meets the last Saturday of every month from 1-3 PM in Room 130 of the AGE of Central Texas Building. We welcome adults with disabilities who are interested in presenting stories and meeting other speakers. Email Eric Clow to RSVP or learn more. \nYou can also RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:The Lion and The Pirate Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Share a story\, poem\, song\, or other talent in a fun and supportive neighborhood bookstore. The open mic is wheelchair accessible. Please contact us at least one week in advance to request other accommodations\, including ASL interpreting\, audio description\, etc. \nIn addition to our regular open mic for performers of all ages and abilities\, this month we are delighted to have a special guest\, Elizabeth L. Sammons\, who will share with us her debut novel\, The Lyra and the Cross. \nFriendship\, forgiveness and faith set the groundwork of The Lyra and the Cross\, a historical novel depicting the political and spiritual unrest in the first-century Roman Empire. Drawing on five years of historical research and on her own cross-cultural experience as journalist\, Peace Corps volunteer and interpreter\, Ohio author Elizabeth Sammons depicts a world as full of interfaith conflict and difficult choices as our own. Amidst familiar characters from the New Testament\, readers will find stories of a slave turned freedman\, a Greek orphan adopted into life as a Jew and two bittersweet love stories set against a background of cross-cultural conflict comparable to events we witness in the 21st century. \nElizabeth L. Sammons is a two-time recipient of the Ohio Arts Council’s Artists with Disability Access Program Award. She lives in Worthington\, Ohio\, holds an M.A. in journalism from Ohio State University\, and has lived in five foreign countries. Her love of both scripture and Greek mythology dates back to childhood. To her knowledge\, this is the only modern English-language novel featuring St. Stephen as its protagonist. \nYou can RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates. \nFor more information email Eric Clow or call 512-454-9912. \n

SUMMARY:Art Spark Texas at Library Live!
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Carver Branch Library for an afternoon of live music presented by Austin Public Library (APL) and Art Spark Texas! \nShow at 2:00 PM / Doors at 1:45 PM \nWith performances by:\nSnehi\nTeel Montague\nThe Spinrockers \nFree and open to the public! \nAbout the musicians: \nThe Spinrockers are a local duo featuring multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Devin Gutierrez and vocalist Mary Rose Bushland. This month they plan to bring some Christmas classics and a few original compositions. \nTeel Montague is an engaging singer/songwriter/storyteller with an acoustic folk and blues sound. As she says\, “My life experience and desire for honest expression direct my creation of melody\, instrumentation\, and lyrics. I aspire to be as sincere and unaffected in my vocals and writing as possible\, in order to convey an accessible message. Often I simply sit down with my guitar and play chords and notes that match whatever soul issue I am trying to process. The lyrics generally flow out of that.” \nSnehi plays around with Indian and Western music to create music that speaks to him in some way. His latest album CHALU (the Telugu word for ‘enough’) was based on his journey of learning to laugh again. Most of his songs are written in Telugu or English\, and offer a glimpse into the complex mind of this simple man\, something he hopes will get us thinking about our funny world. \nYou can RSVP\, invite friends\, and follow our Facebook event page for updates. \nFor more information email Eric Clow or call 512-454-9912.
