GOLDWELL -When it gets close to Halloween, the Goldwell Museum and Red Barn Art Center just outside of Rhyolite, assembles some eclectic entertainment for adults.

Albert's Tarantella, scheduled for Oct. 18, is a tribute to the late Belgian artist Albert Szukalski.

The venue always features something different. This year the arts festival will feature the music of Coyote Grace, an interactive "mental" show with Paul Draper and the magic of the Dymonds. This will also be the last chance to view the art exhibit "Indra's Jewels" by James Stanford. The exhibit closes Oct. 19.

Coyote Grace is comprised of singer/songwriter Joe Stevens from Northern California, and Ingrid Elizabeth, "a sassy femme originally hailing from the hills of Southeastern Ohio," on vocals and upright bass. The duo has rave reviews on their Web site, www.coyotegrace.com.

They are described as an "old-time salt-and-pepper-shaker pair. The two met while living in Seattle, and have been performing as a duo since December 2004, sharing the stage with bluegrass, old-time, folk rock, jazz, and cabarets.

Coyote Grace has been wooing the crowds at colleges, festivals, conferences, coffeehouses, pubs, house concerts, farmers markets, and community centers.

Draper is a self-identified anthropologist magician and "mind reader" who "travels the world in search of the magic and mysteries that comprise his show," states on his Web site, www.realmagic.org.

Draper has appeared with David Copperfield, Lance Burton and Teller, and as an expert on the History Channel.

He has performed for HBO ComedyFest at Caesar's Palace, on Criss Angel's Mindfreak on the Arts and Entertainment Network, and on documentaries accompanying Steven Spielberg's "Poltergeist."

In addition to his motivational corporate shows and lectures, Draper is frequently called upon as an expert in fields ranging from magical history to human consciousness.

As an anthropologist and member of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness, he pursues studies with Native American ghost dancers, South American cannibals, and spiritualists.

Husband and wife comedy/magic team, "Herkimer" and "Zirconia" Dymond will bring their unique theatrical magic to the stage. "Equal parts humor and glamour, they "entertain and endear -- all with feathers and rhinestones," is their description stated in a prepared press release.

The Dymonds perform weekly at Jeff McBride's Wonderground in Palace Station, and Dixie Cooley's Stars of Magic in the Royal Resort.

Indra's Jewels," the art exhibit inspired by Francis H. Cook's "The Jewel Net of Indra," is a reflection of modern technology using Las Vegas neon to weave patterns of "perfect symmetry into jewel-like objects of meditation." The exhibit opened in September.

The event is from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., Oct. 18, in the Red Barn Art Center in Goldwell. Tickets are $25 and include a barbecue dinner and dessert along with the performances.

Last year, the show was sold out.
