artist statement

I’m an adventurist with a passion in photography and creating. Thank you for visiting my website and the best of my work! I’m a content creator in Gunnison, Colorado. I’m a photographer, and social media director at Travel Crested Butte, this is where my passion got out of hand (if that’s really possible). My love for the outdoors and the physical literature written by nature brings me to the ability to create my work. My black lab Gracie and I are constantly looking for our next adventure to see and experience the world!

show at 7 pm // doors at 6:30

Floyd Bauler opens at 7 pm // Con Brio at 8:15 pm

$20-$30

Named for an Italian musical direction meaning with spirit, Con Brio is a San Francisco Bay Area seven-piece that plays energetic soul, psych-rock and R&B that’s as fresh and freethinking as the place they call home. With charismatic singer Ziek McCarter bringing “the dance moves, splits and all, of James Brown” (KQED) and a tight, veteran band that “comes across like a party punk version of Sly and the Family Stone” (Consequence of Sound), Con Brio is known to convert anyone who sees their electric live show.

In an effort to keep our audience members, artists, volunteers, and staff members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Center for the Arts will require proof of full vaccination (via vaccination card) or a negative COVID-19 test within 48-72 hours for entry to this show. Children under 12 are required to wear masks or present a negative test result.

 

 

Western Student Juried Art Show Opening Reception

by Leave a Comment

Join us for an evening of art and music! The Art and Music Departments at Western Colorado University are proud to present the 2021 Western Student Juried Art Show at the Center. This exhibition of visual art features finely-crafted paintings, photos, prints, ceramics, jewelry, and installation work by 27 current art students at Western Colorado University. This exhibition was juried by Rosalind Cook, an internationally recognized sculptor who lives and works in Crested Butte. As Rosalind describes in her juror’s statement, these 27 carefully selected works convey “both strong pictorial elements but also make an impact on an emotional and intellectual level.”

The Western Colorado University Music Department will also provide a sonic backdrop to the event with a three-hour-long musical performance in the first-floor atrium. The musical performance will feature both individual student and faculty performances along with larger ensembles that will encompass different musical styles throughout the evening. This event is free and open to the public, but capacity may be limited due to COVID restrictions. If you are unable to attend the opening, the exhibition will run until April 30, 2020. A very special thanks to the Student Art League, Art and Music Departments, and the Council for Creative Expressions for supporting this event. Exhibiting Artists: Sarah Ackerman, Daniel Lesh, Evan Allison, Aaron Mason, Catherine Barisas, Tanner Marcus, Ariel Benney, Nia Morales, Erica Casey, Erin Riley, Tyler Catalioto, Mallory Siebenneicher, Emma DeHaven, Matt Smith, Aly Hargrove, Danielle Vitulli, Jay Hickox, Nathan Walsh, Brenna Hilgers, Ruby Woodings, Meghan LaHatte

Center Kinder Padon Gallery Open Hours: Tuesdays, 1 – 3 pm and Fridays, 10 – 12 pm.
