Open to creators of all kinds! Are you a visual artist, sculptor, muralist, painter, sketch artist, graphic artist, fabric artist, or writer? Looking for a mentor who will encourage you, push you, and celebrate you for who you are? Trying to figure out next steps for your schooling or potential art career? Looking to expand your social justice views and infuse them in your art? Looking to build your skills while building your community?

The ScenicG Mentorship Cohort creates that opportunity. A place for you to learn, grow and develop yourself as an artist, in whatever way you choose. Located on the stolen lands of the Latgawa, Takelma, Shasta, and Modoc peoples in Talent and led by Gabriel Barrera, the cohort is a one-year art mentorship program for early career Southern Oregon artists who identify as BIPOC, ages 18 and up.

Cohort artists will gain confidence, build upon creative strengths, harness new skills, learn creative practice methods and techniques. In addition to being mentored by Gabriel, participants will also learn from guest artists from different creative disciplines, go on field trips, and participate in ScenicG workshops and events. Monthly gatherings will involve topics on social justice, identity and social constructs. Mentees will learn from each other, build trust, solidarity, fellowship and friendship within their cohort.

At the end of the year, mentees will produce a final art exhibition that will present their abilities, skills and aesthetic as newly transformed artists. The final art exhibit will be held either at ScenicG studio or in another venue where the public will view and celebrate the cohort’s accomplishments. Four applicants will be accepted into the program. Each mentee will receive:

• Stipend of $1,500

• iPad with Apple Pencil and Procreate

• Mentoring sessions with Guest Artists as well as ScenicG

• Final showcase

• All materials and supplies included

Do LaB Announces New Programming Elements and Theme for Lightning in a Bottle 2022 Returning to Buena Vista Lake in Southern California Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-30 General Onsale happens Friday, November 5, 2021 at 10am PST
Reveals ‘Atlaswyld’ Glamping Experience, LIBeach, Reimagined Thunder Stage, Expanded Woogie

Today Do LaB, the creators of Lighting in a Bottle and originators of the boutique festival experience, have announced a slew of new programming elements and theme for the event’s 2022 return. The LIB community will once again take over the shores of Buena Vista Lake in Southern California on Memorial Day Weekend for five days, May 25-30, to reconnect and let sparks fly.

The event’s 2022 theme, “Where Lightning Strikes,” embodies the festival’s long standing ethos of creating space for connection and expressiveness. Lightning in a Bottle defies the typical definition of a music festival by holding participation at its core. It’s a place where lifelong friendships, relationships, and memories are forged, a temporary home where excitement, fun, and surprise wait around every corner.

Do LaB has reimagined the Lightning in a Bottle 2022 experience to support this mission of reconnection as a reflection of its community’s needs. A new sandy beach, appropriately dubbed LIBeach, awaits with a daytime opening party on Thursday already on the books with talent to be announced. A new layout will mean less walking between stages and welcome a roaming cast of Art Cars for pop-up surprises throughout the week.

Flagship stages Thunder and Woogie will see new direction and expanded programming to support the mission of this truly five-day festival experience. Thunder, known traditionally as the event’s bass music enclave, will transform into a tree-lined theater where multiple genres will be showcased in the open-air with its biggest lineup to date. Fan-favorite Woogie will expand its bookings to include a full day of Thursday house and techno talent, just another reason to arrive on Wednesday for the full LIB journey. Do LaB is also premiering a new stage at LIB next year - Junk in the Trunk. Seen at Burning Man, Junk in the Trunk will replace Favela as the event’s host locale for California’s favorite native house and techno artists.

For those looking for the joy of a camping festival with expanded creature comforts, LIB will for the first time offer a new VIP experience only Do LaB can dream up. VIP pass holders can get off their feet in

backstage lounges at Lightning, Thunder, and Woogie, grab a quick drink in these areas at full bars, and watch headlining performances at the elevated Lighting Stage viewing area. For more info on VIP tickets, visit https://www.libfestival.org/tickets

LIB is also excited to reveal a new boutique camping experience, Atlaswyld, a festival-within-a-festival featuring glamping options and elevated content ready to be explored. Wake up each morning in a luxurious Bell Tent, Kodiak, or Airstream to be met by tailored yoga and wellness classes, culinary programing, Happy Hour mixers, and other high-end encounters aimed to dazzle alongside the festival’s immersive landscape of wonder and discovery.

These new elements will complement the event’s nearly multi-decade commitment to bringing together forward-thinking music across many distinct stages, educational and cause-driven discussions and activities at The Compass, intriguing immersive programming from favorites like The Grand Artique, Unicorn Palace, and so much more.

Lightning in a Bottle is ready to return home to the beautiful shores of Buena Vista Lake in Southern California and reclaim its traditional Memorial Weekend date – May 25-30 2022. Buena Vista Lake immediately brought comfort and familiarity to the LIB community thanks to its swim-friendly waters, abundant grassy topography and thick shade trees. 2022 will see this wondrous playground come further to life, creating an idyllic container for the reconnection we all need so deeply.

General Onsale happens Friday, November 5, 2021 at 10am PST. Lock in your spot to LIB 2022 for only 25% down on your entire order!
