“Doug Snow’s ambiance in Southern Utah with its deserts, mountains, and rock formations holding mammoth power. His paintings reflect that power. They are visionary explorations of air and light…reflecting the unknown on the known. He sees so well.”

Saturday August 2nd - 7:00pmJill Orschel Presents Her Documentary "Snowland"A special event will be taking place this Saturday, when Jill Orschel, filmmaker, will introduce and present her feature-length documentary, "Snowland." The 90-minute film will be shown at 7:00 p.m. on August 2 at Robber's Roost, 200 West and Main Street, in Torrey. "Snowland" tells the story of Cora Lee Witt.

Decades later, she is ready to break her silence and share the painful truth of her past. Blending stop-motion animation, raw testimony, and humor, "Snowland" sets itself apart from typical cult narratives by revealing the healing power of art. Jill will entertain questions following the showing of the documentary.

Jill Orschel Presents Her Documentary Snowland
“The Entrada Institute is the brainchild of thoughtful, generous, visionary people. Entrada fosters life-affirming interconnections between nature and the arts reminiscent of Friedrich Schelling’s nature is visible spirit, spirit is invisible nature.”

– Scott Abbott, Ph.D

“I see firsthand the value it provides to the community, its residents, and visitors from all corners of the world. Entrada contributes to increasing our appreciation of the natural world and its inhabitants. It also provides a fascinating slate of programs and classes that are open to all. Entrada adds immeasurably to the fabric of this area and deserves our support.”

– Annie Holt, co-owner of The Old House at Center and Main in Torrey

“There are cliff and buttes, mountains and mesas, canyons and valleys, domes and pinnacles, rounded slopes and numberless smaller forms, all painted in a rainbow spectrum of glorious hues, sculptured into … patterns that astonish with strange and endless diversity.”

– Ward Roylance, co-founder, Entrada Institute

“What impressed me about Entrada was honoring and celebrating both our natural and cultural legacies at the local level and along the Colorado Plateau. The Entrada Institute helps protect and preserve the heritage of Wayne County, State of Utah, and Colorado Plateau. Entrada, you are the role model for the future.”

– Rosemary Sucec, Cultural Anthropologist, National Park Service
