Field Guide to a Crisis
“Field Guide to a Crisis: Strategies for Survival From People in Recovery”
Brenda Tuxford Gallery

"Field Guide to a Crisis: Strategies for Survival From People in Recovery" opens Saturday, June 3rd at the Ink People’s Brenda Tuxford Gallery at 422 First Street in Eureka, during Arts Alive.
Conceived as a companion to the exhibition that is currently on view at Morris Graves Museum of Art, this exhibition is an ongoing, socially engaged art project challenging viewers to re-think the voices that are elevated in times of crisis. It functions as a teacher's training tool by mentoring people residing in sober living homes in Eureka, CA to become “educators in resiliency.” Participants get the opportunity to identify, present, and teach their own crisis resilience skills through lesson plans, instructional videos, and public presentations. The program aims to build confidence, self-esteem, and resilience in its participants by uplifting lived experience to the status of expert knowledge. “Traditionally, society turns away from people dealing with a substance abuse disorder out of projected shame," project creator Justin Maxon writes. "FG flips this historic narrative by repositioning people in recovery as experts in navigating crisis.”
In addition to being on view during Arts Alive events on Saturday, June 3 and Saturday, July 1, the exhibition will be on view at Brenda Tuxford Gallery on Thursdays and Fridays, 12-5 pm, between June 3 and July 28.

Stand Up and Be Counted
The show revolves around the PBS documentary series Muhammad Ali, which premiered across the nation in September.
"Stand Up and Be Counted" seeks submissions of visual art and poetry works from youth ages 13-18 and adults. Entries will be accepted online through November 19, 2021. The exhibition will go live at the Brenda Tuxford Gallery in January 2022.
FAQ:
Submission should use one of Ali's quotes or one of his Six Core Principles as inspiration for your work.
The size or length of your piece does not matter because the gallery is online.
We need your name, title of your piece, and a brief description of the prompt you used.
By submitting your piece, you are allowing KEET-TV, Ink People Center for the Arts, and Word Humboldt to use your submission on social media platforms and in the local media.
Ali’s Six Core Principles:
Confidence: Belief in oneself, one's abilities, and one's future.
Conviction: A firm belief that gives one the courage to stand behind that belief despite the pressure to do otherwise.
Dedication: The act of devoting all of one's energy, effort, and abilities to a certain task.
Giving: To present voluntarily without expecting anything in return.
Respect: Esteem for or a sense of worth or excellence of one's self.
Spirituality: A sense of awe, reverence, and inner peace. Inspired by an inner connection to all creation and/or that which is greater than oneself.
Some of Ali’s Quotes:
It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.
There are billions of people in the world, and every one of them is special.
No one else in the world is like you.
Enjoy your children, even when they don't act the way you want them to.
A man who has no imagination has no wings.
The one without dreams is the one without wings.
You're not going to enjoy every minute of the journey, but the success you'll find at the end will make it all worth it.
Whoever knocks persistently, ends by entering.
There's nothing wrong with getting knocked down, as long as you get right back up.
Ali was a cultural icon, and he could be a lightning rod for criticism. Loved by many, he was criticized by some for choices that included joining the Nation of Islam and refusing induction into the United States Army. "Ali is rightly celebrated for his athleticism in the ring," said Sarah Burns, "but he was equally heroic in his willingness to stand up for what he believed was right."
Corporate funding for MUHAMMAD ALI was provided by Bank of America. Major funding was provided by David M. Rubenstein. Major funding was also provided by The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by The Better Angels Society and by its members Alan and Marcia Docter; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Tudor Jones; The Fullerton Family Charitable Fund; Gilchrist and Amy Berg; The Brooke Brown Barzun Philanthropic Foundation, The Owsley Brown III Philanthropic Foundation and The Augusta Brown Holland Philanthropic Foundation; Perry and Donna Golkin; John and Leslie McQuown; John and Catherine Debs; Fred and Donna Seigel; Susan and John Wieland; Stuart and Joanna Brown; Diane and Hal Brierley; Fiddlehead Fund; Rocco and Debby Landesman; McCloskey Family Charitable Trust; Mauree Jane and Mark Perry; and Donna and Richard Strong. And by viewers like you.
