• Cody DeLong just returned from the Grand Canyon Plein Air Invitational event as one of 25 artists from across the country to paint for a week and show those works and others in the historic Kolb Studio. DeLong has work permanently on display as part of the collection at El Tovar, as well as pieces in the Grand Canyon Conservancy collection and the National Park Service collection. DeLong is now back in his studio working on some new abstract saguaro pieces. Stop in and see these exciting new works at 300 Hull Avenue, between the Visitors Center and Spook Hall.

Join Zen Mountain Gallery for October Art Walk to enjoy a glass of Arizona wine from Vino Zona with the gallery’s many artists.

• Pura Vida Gallery will host a trunk show for Scottsdale jewelry artist Arlee Kasselman on the evening of the Jerome Art Walk. Kasselman’s jewelry is based on characteristics and meanings found in ancient geometric shapes and symbols. Each piece evokes individual style and self expression by the wearer of the art piece. Join her at Pura Vida Gallery for chocolates and champagne and be the first to see her newest creations.

• Made in Jerome Pottery always offers different one-of-a-kind handcrafted items and there is still a good selection of Jerome icon Anne Bassett’s artwork. Can you find your house in one of her drawings? Hang with us in the kiln yard and let Hall and the Howlers entertain you on guitar, ukulele and washtub bass.

• The Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery presents Facts and Fantasy, a two-member show featuring the works of Judy Jaaskelainen and Marsha Foutz. Jaaskelainen, primarily known as a watercolor artist, brings new explorations and experiments to the show with fresh new work reflecting new subject matter and media. New subjects include various loca­tions where she has recently traveled, such as Paris, France, Africa, southern Utah and areas around Santa Fe, N.M. New mediums include small clay creations, textures on wood, acrylic paints and stamping techniques. Foutz, known for her satirical one-of-a-kind ceramic chess sets, presents her 25th set enti­tled Different Worlds. She attributes her delightful ironic sense of humor to having survived 35 years of teaching in the classroom.

The Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery is comprised of 37 local member-artists who work in a wide variety of media. The gallery will host an opening reception for the artists at First Saturday Art Walk, Oct. 5, from 5 to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served. Live music will be performed by Janice Paul. To become a member, stop by the gallery or download an application at jeromecoop.com.
