The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (Yavapai College Sedona/Verde Valley) will hold an open house Thursday, January 16 from 1:00 -3:00 at the Sedona Center, Room 34. The guest speaker will be Chef Robert Barr of the Sedona Culinary Institute. The event is free and the public is invited to attend.
Former Yavapai Community College instructors Bryan Reinhart and Jeremy Hawkes will be helping the Sedona Arts Center develop a film school, according to a story in the September 19 Red Rock News by “Andrew Pardiac. Reinhart said that “When the film school closed in May, we were approached by Lynette Jennings” who “felt the film school shouldn’t have closed down and she loved the way we taught there.” Jennings had done quite a bit of work with the Sedona Arts Center.
The Sedona Arts Center will initially rent space from the College and also some of the equipment. The semester long classes will be offered in the fall, 2015. In addition to the semester long classes, the Center will offer smaller workshops designed for residents who may not have the time or inclination to learn at a professionally geared pace but still want to learn modern filmmaking techniques and software.
