SUMMARY:Beekman Bank Museum tours
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to “Step Behind the Counter” of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest—Jacksonville’s 1863 Beekman Bank Museum—when Historic Jacksonville\, Inc. opens the museum for summer tours. \nEstablished as a “gold dust” office in 1856\, it was the first “bank” north of San Francisco. \nScheduled 2025 “banking hours” are 11am to 3 pm\, Saturdays and Sundays\, from May 24 through August 31. The Beekman Bank Museum is located at 110 W. California Street (the corner of California and North 3rd streets) in Jacksonville. Guests can interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices\, gold shipping\, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks\, stage schedules\, and paperwork; and enter the vault that stored millions in gold! \nVisitors can spend as much or as little time as they like—although we suggest they allow at least 30 minutes. Tours are FREE\, but donations are encouraged since all monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of this historic legacy! \nThe original bank was established in 1856 as a “gold dust” office. (If we’re factual\, it was a safe.) Cornelius Beekman had come to Jacksonville in 1854 as an express rider between Yreka and Jacksonville carrying newspaper\, mail\, parcels\, and gold over the Siskiyous. When his employer’s firm failed\, he established Jacksonville’s Beekman’s Express and his gold dust office. In 1863 he became Jacksonville’s Wells Fargo agent and constructed the Beekman Bank. \nDuring Jacksonville’s heyday as the governmental\, commercial\, and social hub of Southern Oregon in the late 1800s\, the Beekman’s Bank saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters—equivalent to over $1 billion today! The current 1863 structure is the only commercial wooden building on California Streeet to survive Jacksonville’s many fires. It has been preserved intact as a museum since Cornelius Beekman\, the wealthiest and most prominent of Jacksonville’s pioneers\, locked the doors in 1915. \nAdditional information is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org/behind-the-counter/.

SUMMARY:End Game Art Exhibition by Art Van Kraft
DESCRIPTION:Join the Phoenix Art & Culture Council in celebrating the colorful narratives of local artist Art Van Kraft at Langford Art Gallery for the End Game Exhibition\, opening on July 5\, 2025. \nA Second Phriday engagement to follow on July 11th at 7pm\, with an artist talk to get to know Van Kraft and learn more about the content and process of his work. A third engagement\, Cultural Leadership Panel\, on July 26th at 6pm\, is hosted by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and Phoenix Art and Culture Council as the 6th in a series of 10 events in the Phoenix Cultural Exchange program. \nThis much-anticipated show unveils Kraft’s latest body of work—a vivid exploration of contemporary American culture rendered through a lens of abstract realism\, enigmatic landscapes\, and vibrant\, emotionally charged color. \nAn internationally recognized mid-career contemporary painter with a global exhibition record\, Art Van Kraft invites visitors to immerse themselves in a world where visual narrative and symbolic terrain converge. His paintings\, layered with complexity and intention\, challenge viewers to engage with what lies beneath the surface—both in the canvas and in the culture it reflects. \n“This exhibition will take the viewer on a journey through intricate layers of landscapes and narratives\,” says the gallery’s curator\, Beca Blake. “Kraft’s work manages to be both deeply personal and collective\, addressing the cultural expressions and individual introspection of our times.” \nKraft holds degrees in visual art from both the University of Southern California and the Paris American Academy. Now based in Ashland\, Oregon\, he continues to champion rural-urban contemporary art through his visual expressions. \n“For me and others like me\, we paint alone\, without fanfare… a solitary experience that has its hits and misses. But when it hits\, and you know it’s pure and part of yourself\, that’s the end game.” ~ Art Van Kraft \nDon’t miss this intimate and thought-provoking exhibition exploring themes of American culture through visual storytelling.

(If we’re factual\, it was a safe.) Cornelius Beekman had come to Jacksonville in 1854 as an express rider between Yreka and Jacksonville carrying newspaper\, mail\, parcels\, and gold over the Siskiyous. When his employer’s firm failed\, he established Jacksonville’s Beekman’s Express and his gold dust office. In 1863 he became Jacksonville’s Wells Fargo agent and constructed the Beekman Bank. \nDuring Jacksonville’s heyday as the governmental\, commercial\, and social hub of Southern Oregon in the late 1800s\, the Beekman’s Bank saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters—equivalent to over $1 billion today! The current 1863 structure is the only commercial wooden building on California Streeet to survive Jacksonville’s many fires. It has been preserved intact as a museum since Cornelius Beekman\, the wealthiest and most prominent of Jacksonville’s pioneers\, locked the doors in 1915. \nAdditional information is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org/behind-the-counter/.
