BECOME A MEMBER

THIS FRIDAY

Date: Friday, August 15

Time: 10 – 11:30AM

FREE: Registration required

Start your morning with fresh coffee and fresh ideas at Coffee with Digitals.

Coffee with Digitals is a casual gathering that celebrates the vibrant intersection of art and technology. Hosted by Chris Johnson, Professor of Visual Communication at NAU, this monthly meetup invites artists, educators, and community members to connect around emerging digital practices—from animation and AR to AI and 3D modeling.

This month, Chris is joined by special guest James Peters, an Emmy Award–winning animation artist with nearly 30 years of experience. James has worked on iconic series such as Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys, Futurama, and Rick and Morty, and has contributed to both Marvel and DC animated properties, including Young Justice—a show that redefined the standards of studio animation.

Chris and James are also the co-founders of Reanimation Studios, a new Flagstaff-based studio focused on original animation and storytelling projects.

Whether you’re a seasoned digital artist or just curious about creative technology, come sip, share, and be part of the conversation.

Registration is FREE. Please RSVP so we know how much coffee to brew!

Shades of Route 66

Exhibition Dates: June 28 – September 27, 2025

Gallery Hours: Wed-Sat from 11-5PM, and by appointment

Shades of Route 66: Celebrating Diversity along Arizona’s Historic Route 66 in the State of Arizona explores, documents, and share stories of the underrepresented voices of people and their communities who contributed to the diverse cultural and socioeconomic landscape along Route 66 through Arizona. The final product of the project, a digitally accessible “StoryMap” using ArcGIS, provides a well-rounded and inclusive history of Route 66’s planning, construction, and development using anthropological and decolonial lenses. Shades of Route 66 was produced and sponsored by Cline Library at Northern Arizona University and funded by the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona. Coconino Center for the Arts is honored to serve as a satellite venue for the dissemination of this project, and to share the diverse history of Route 66 during its Centennial celebrations.
