WAITING TO EXHALE: The Great Art by Students--better known as G.A.S.P.--Gallery continues Reframing the Border: Photographic Essays exhibiting the works of Jose Galvez, Miguel Gandert, Oscar Monroy Avila and Jeffrey Scott. Organized by the Arizona Commission on the Arts and Humanities, this show appears at the Utterback Middle School, 3233 S. Pinal Vista, under the tutelage of instructors Linda Poverman and Annette Guevara. Twenty-two Utterback students were responsible for curating, installing and guiding visitors through the display, which runs through October 3. Call 617-6100 for information. REFORMATION: Longtime state representative and tireless political gadfly John Kromko will tackle "Fighting for Justice in Arizona Politics" on Saturday at a gathering sponsored by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. "Basically, I'll be talking about election and campaign reform," says Kromko, who most recently bit the electoral dust in a Justice of the Peace primary race against Carmen Dolny. He says re-hashing campaign laws that let special interests rule the democratic roost is key. "Once we do that, the rest of it will fall into place, and we'll be able to make elections fair." Hear Kromko raise the stakes at the Friends Meeting House, 931 N. Fifth Ave., at 2 p.m. For information, call 622-5743. ROAD TRIP: Check out public expression from the New York mountains to the Gulf Stream waters as the Tucson/Pima Art Council presents "On the Road with Public Art," on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The visual journey starts in the Pacific Northwest, and heads through innovative art projects in Seattle, Portland and a smattering of smaller towns, where key artists and their influences are noted. Public art in schools, transportation projects and outdoor parks will also be featured. Admission is free for the event, to be held in the council offices, 240 N. Stone Ave. For details, call 624-0595. RHYTHM METHOD: With something resembling a chill in the evening air, now's the time to enter the night. Here's a great reason to get out of the house: The Tucson Jazz Society continues its always-delightful Plaza Suite fall jazz series with a performance by rhythm-and-blues band Statesboro on Saturday, September 21, in the tony environs of St. Philip's Plaza, Campbell Avenue at River Road. Not only will you find the R&B to be A-OK, you'll also be able to sink your teeth into a reasonably priced picnic dinner prepared by the gourmet hands at Café Terra Cotta. Gosh, all this and a full bar, too--those folks in the Jazz Society know how to throw a party. Gates open at 7 p.m. and the show starts one hour later. Tickets are $8, $4 for Tucson Jazz Society members. For more information call 743-3399.
