Mike Donehey:
Mike Donehey has seen his fair share of the unexpected. Following a potentially fatal car crash as a teen, Mike learned to play the guitar while still in bed recovering from his injuries. Learning the guitar quickly gave birth to songwriting, and that songwriting soon led to the formation of a band.
That band, Tenth Avenue North , became one of the most loved and successful artists in Christian music. At the beginning of 2020, despite widespread notoriety and a devout following, Tenth Avenue North ’s members began to sense they each had their own unexpected and unique roads to follow. Mike seized this opportunity, reveling in the excitement to expand as a storyteller, communicator, and thought instigator wherever his voice could be heard.
Mike’s acclaimed book, Finding God’s Life for My Will , was an immediate best-seller. Mike’s newest book, Grace In The Gray, reveals a four-stage process to help people in relationships, professional settings, and social situations discover how to focus on the person before them more than the argument set against them.
Perhaps most exciting has been Mike’s writing and producing new music. His acclaimed solo album Flourish is just the beginning of the flow of new music coming our way.
The unexpected has a way of disrupting our lives in ways we might not have ever chosen. For Mike, learning to embrace the unexpected has been the very thing that continues to bring encouraging and soul-healing art. Looking forward, Mike is trusting to be led in any way that will allow him to continue to serve and inspire.
Matt Hammitt:
Matt Hammitt is a singer, songwriter, author, and speaker. Matt was the lead singer for the band Sanctus Real from 1996-2016. He has been the recipient of three Dove Awards and has been nominated for two Grammy Awards for his work with Sanctus Real. Matt has written over fifteen chart topping songs, performed by Sanctus Real and other musical artists.
An Ohio native, Matt now lives in Nashville with his wife, Sarah, and their four children. Passion for family is what led him to step away from Sanctus Real in 2016, to spend more time at home. Matt details this difficult transition in his book Lead Me: Finding Courage to Fight for Your Marriage, Children, and Faith. Matt holds nothing back in this unfiltered story of his life, so far.
In 2022, the Hammitts released a documentary called Bowen’s Heart. This feature length documentary film follows (then) eight-year-old Bowen Hammitt through his third major open heart surgery, his family caught in the tension between hoping the surgery will make his life better and knowing it could make things much worse

From the early 1980s through the turn of the century, Barbara Bloemink served as one of the first and few women museum art directors in the country.

Navigating these waters through five museums, from a small regional one to a Guggenheim and Smithsonian, Barbara tells stories from the sublime to the ridiculous. Join us for this enlightening and amusing presentation!

This beginner-friendly class is an introduction to the relief process, the technique used in the oldest forms of printmaking. By creating a single-color linocut print, you will learn the basics of relief printing. We will explore types of carving blocks, inks, and papers, and you will learn how to prepare your carving block, transfer your design, and carve and ink the block. You will make several prints, both by hand printing and using the printing press. (After this class, members will be certified to use the press for relief printing.)
Please read through the relief printing handout (found here) before class, and bring a simple design no larger than 5x8 inches. A good beginner design has a bold image, thick lines, and no fine details. Keeping it simple will help you avoid frustration and allow you to focus on the fundamentals of printmaking. You can find some great ideas by searching for free black and white vector art. Several design options will also be available to choose from in class.
Certification for Members: Printing Press Members who demonstrate proper use of the printing press can be certified for independent access to the tool.
Thanks to generous donations from The Frank Loomis Palmer Foundation , prices of our certification classes are greatly reduced.
Get your tickets today!
Ages: 15+
Please note that the class fee is non-refundable. Plan accordingly.
Printmaking 101: Relief
Diana Higbee and Anne-Lise Saint-Amans reunite on stage at the La Grua Center in a luminous recital that celebrates the joy of friendship and the dialogue between voice and piano. From sultry jazz standards to fiery Spanish melodies and French lyricism, their program blends elegance, charm, and mischief. Together, they reinvent classics like Summertime, Tea for Two, and I Could Write a Book, with a playful intimacy that brings fresh life to every note. Their connection shines especially in Bernstein’s Maria and Weill’s cabaret-inspired colorings, revealing the full expressive range of the soprano-pianist duo who have been working together since 2003.
Rooted in mutual respect and years of musical complicity, this concert is more than a recital. It is a conversation between two artists who share the same love of music. Italian bel canto sparkles in Rossini’s Regata Veneziana and Giusto ciel, while the sensual rhythms of Obradors and Bizet evoke sun-soaked landscapes and the pulse of dance. The French songs, including Delibes’ Les filles de Cadix and Bizet's Ouvre ton Coeur are an hommage to Spanish Music where Rossini's Ariette à l'ancienne shows his love for French music. Whether singing of love’s sweetness or its heartbreak, Diana Higbee’s radiant voice meets Anne-Lise Saint-Amans’ subtle phrasing with perfect synchronicity. It’s a celebration of friendship through music, across genres, languages, and emotions and it is thrilling for both of them to return to the perfect accoustics of the La Grua center where they last performed in 2018.
Tickets $25 online only. There may be a limited number of tickets available at the door the day of the concert. Doors open at 4:30pm. Ages 18 and under admitted for free!
