Tony Speirs
Tony Speirs is an artist and illustrator living and working in Sonoma County, CA. He had shown his narrative works throughout the Bay Area for over 25 years and his illustrations have appeared in several national and regional publications and books.
Tony and his wife Lisa Beerntsen collaborated as Art Farm to create the interactive “The Game of Hope and Fear” which they are bringing to display at Rivertown Revival this year.
Rivertown is Sensory Friendly
Rivertown is a HUGE party, and the visual and musical stimulation can feel like chaos to some people. In an effort to offer the best experience for all of our attendees, we will have Sensory Friendly kits filled with several calming items and toys, and an assortment of noise cancelling head phones available at the Medical Tent to use during the event. The medical tent will be located near the Kid’s Play Faire next to the Friends of the Petaluma Booth.
If you you know anyone who skips out on these types of events because they, or their child is easily overwhelmed, please pass this information on to them.
Kits will be available in our med tent.

This learning adventure was a preamble to many more focused attempts at wrangling understanding from a world of constraints, but it was certainly NOT the messiest.
Jim Lockert
Working with his father on residential construction sites, being a boat mechanic, endlessly tinkering at home and always looking for a path to use his skills to be helpful, Jim eventually found his way to making things for a living.
