    The 2011 Shivers Celebration, established 18 years ago to raise cultural and arts awareness in Colorado Springs, continues this year on Thursday, November 24 with a four-day celebration of inspirational concerts, art exhibits, and presentations.

    The Celebration is a special fundraising event held every other year in Colorado Springs to support the Shivers Fund at Pikes Peak Library District. Peggy and Clarence Shivers established the Fund in 1993 to expand PPLD’s African American collection and promote the arts through concerts and educational opportunities for youth. The late philanthropist Clarence Shivers was a talented painter and sculptor, known for his bronze statue of a Tuskegee Airman located on the grounds of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

    Musical performers will include Corliss Taylor-Dunn, John Bowen, Anthony & RaDonna Bell, Michael Howell, Lila Mori. Brian Owens, Blue Jazz Company with Eddie Jones, Icy Simpson, Eric Wassenaar, Susan Grace, and the Celebration Multicultural Ensemble.

    There will also be a fine arts show, free music workshop for youth, and a film screening. The Celebration will conclude with a Sunday morning worship and brunch, open to the public. This year marks the tenth Celebration event.
