The Art of US: Spirit of Unbridled is an immersive visual biography chronicling the extraordinary life of Spirit—an Appaloosa born because compassion interrupted the cycle of exploitation.

Through fine art photography, personal narrative and original equine-created artwork from Unbridled Sanctuary’s Canvas of Compassion™ collection, this exhibition invites visitors to experience one horse’s life from rescue to belonging.

Spirit of Unbridled explores the emotional lives, intelligence, relationships and inherent worth of horses while celebrating the transformative power of compassion. It asks a simple question: What changes when we truly see a horse?

Founded in 2004 by lifelong equestrian, visual artist and writer Susan Kayne, Unbridled Sanctuary is a nationally recognized nonprofit dedicated to protecting horses from slaughter, neglect, exploitation and abuse through lifetime sanctuary, advocacy, education and the arts.

A reception will be held Sept. 4 from 4 to 6 p.m. Representatives from Unbridled Sanctuary, including Susan Kayne, will participate in gallery sittings on Sept. 19 and 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the rescued horses whose lives and artwork comprise the exhibition.

All art sales will support the work of Unbridled Sanctuary.

This year’s Whispering Bones presents a very special weaving of witchy tales: stories of the witches that haunt our nightmares, the witches that live in our suspicions, the witches that make us laugh, and the witches who scar our souls—or heal them.

Dr. Betterov-Underhill will be on hand to promote his line of Dead People products, including his “Don’t Go Thither” Zither, acclaimed in the lower world and banned on many of the outer planets. And Shannah (Katherine Danforth-Hayes) will return with another episode of “Shannah’s Spell Closet!”

Join us for a night of comic, dark and thought-provoking stories:

• The Sea’s Dead by Katharine Tynan, performed by Katherine Danforth-Hayes. A strange girl comes to live in Achill Island off the coast of Ireland.

• The Shift Witch, a comic piece performed by Jenny Wright. A date in a space station food court with a guy with unexpected talents. 

• The Room in the Tower by E.F. Benson, performed by Kelvin Keraga. An invitation to a room full of nightmares.

• The Tin Box, a dark piece performed by Jewel Winant. What is in the box that Irene left for her grand-niece?

• Ere the Fire/After the Fire by Shawn Paper, performed by Shawn Paper and Isabel Covielllo. The story of King James of Scotland and Anges Sampson and a search for a witch.

• The Charming Shoes, by Kelvin Keraga, performed by Jeannine Haas. Witches come in many forms…

Suitable for ages 12 and above. Spooky and sometimes disturbing descriptions but no gore.
