Thursday Evening Calm Abiding Meditaion
2025-07-03 18:00 - 19:30 | Kagyu Sukha Choling, 109 Clear Creek Drive, Ashland, 97520
This meditation is common to many traditions of Buddhism. In this practice, we rest our attention on a simple meditative support, such as the breath. Instead of following thoughts and emotions as we usually do, we release them and maintain our connection to the support.
“From this practice, we can experience a stable and calm mind. We learn to maintain and return to a sense of stillness, no matter what our outer circumstances. The mind is relaxed, alert and aware. The results of this practice are serenity, freedom in the face of circumstances, and ultimately Buddhahood.”
From Meditation for Beginners, by Bokar Rinpoche.

Walk through Jacksonville History
2025-07-05 10:00 - 11:00 | Downtown Jacksonville
Jacksonville’s “Walk through History” tours are back!
At 10 a.m. every Saturday from May 24th through August 30th, Historic Jacksonville, Inc. will be offering one-hour guided walks through Jacksonville’s National Historic Landmark District, the first on the West Coast! Participants will take a stroll through history, visiting government and commercial buildings, fraternal lodges, and homes that capture the stories of the people who transformed a gold rush town into Southern Oregon’s 19th Century social, governmental, and commercial hub. They’ll learn how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it.
Walking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic “Courthouse Square”) at 206 North 5th Street between West C and D streets and cover about one mile with multiple stops. Tours are FREE but donations are encouraged! All monies go towards the preservation and maintenance of Jacksonville’s historic buildings.
For individuals who prefer not to “stretch their legs,” Historic Jacksonville’s website (https://www.historicjacksonville.org) offers numerous ways to explore Jacksonville virtually. These include multiple blogs about the town and its settlers along with three video tours that introduce viewers to Jacksonville’s Historic Landmark District, its Historic Homes, and its Pioneer Cemetery.
Historic Jacksonville, Inc. invites you to forget the “names, dates, places, and battles” version of history you may have been taught in school. HJI’s live and virtual tours are about “real history”—people and their stories. They are about life!
Additional information on “Walk through History” and other Historic Jacksonville, Inc. tours is available at 541-245-3650; info@historicjacksonville.org; and www.historicjacksonville.org.

Beekman Bank Museum tours
2025-07-05 11:00 - 15:00, 2025-07-06 11:00 - 15:00 | Beekman Bank Museum, 110 W. California St., Jacksonville, OR, United States
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.
Established as a “gold dust” office in 1856, it was the first “bank” north of San Francisco.
Scheduled 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!
Visitors 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!
The 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.
During 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.

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.
A 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.
This 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.
An 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.
“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.”
Kraft 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.
“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
Don’t miss this intimate and thought-provoking exhibition exploring themes of American culture through visual storytelling.
