MARAVILLAS DE LOS TEJEDORES WONDERS OF THE WEAVERS Nineteenth Century Rio Grande Weavings From the Collection of the Albuquerque Museum Opening May 26, 2007 Hispanic weavings are the epitome of Southwestern art and culture and this summer the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum showcases the Hispanic textile tradition with Wonders of the Weavers (Maravillas de los Tejedores). This collection of 37 Hispanic Rio Grande textiles brings together a variety of Rio Grande textile styles made between 1820 and 1900 and emphasizes weavings from the Albuquerque area, the historic center of the Rio Grande weaving industry. A Hispanic treadle loom upon which two of the featured early blankets were woven is also featured. Weaving tools including a reed, a spinning wheel bobbin, wool cards and sheep shears illustrate the tools of the early industry. Since 1598 Spanish entradas into the Rio Grande Valley brought the first sheep into the region. They also brought professional weavers from Spain who introduced the horizontal treadle loom. Through trade, raiding, and other aspects of cultural contact between and among Spanish colonists and native people, traditional Spanish weaving tools and methods spread throughout the Southwest.

“A lust for life” characterizes the work of Mary Chenoweth (1918-1999). A prolific artist working in a remarkably contemporary style for her time, Chenoweth served as Professor of Art at Colorado College for thirty-plus years. This exhibit, curated by Daisy McConnell, of Chenoweth’s work will survey both the incredible breadth of media the artist employed during her career, and explore recurrent themes within her work. A hardworking and self-effacing artist, Chenoweth quietly built an enduring legacy that remains visible at Colorado College and within the Colorado Springs community. She is remarkable for her work ethic—she created art almost every day for 80 years—and her successful career as an exhibiting artist and Professor of Art during a time when very few women artists broke through the art world’s gender barriers. Chenoweth’s work employed many media, from traditional Printmaking to sculpture; from collage to pen and ink drawing; from painting to artist books. Her artwork is characterized by vibrant colors, lively abstract and stylized shapes, and keen observations from the world around her. Chenoweth traveled extensively, and evidence of her travels is apparent in her paintings, artist books, and sketch books, many of which will be on display in Coburn Gallery during this exhibit. The ports of Australia, North Africa, and the Orient, among other locales, were highly influential on her choice of colors, collage, and forms. The exhibit will feature artwork from the Colorado College Art collection, the recently acquired Mary A. Chenoweth Collection in Tutt Library’s Special Collections, and Colorado Springs area collectors and friends of the artist. A highlight of the exhibition will be a hand-carved door recently donated by the estate of Peggy Marshall, a long-time patron and friend of the artist. Sponsored by the Colorado College Summer Festival of the Arts.

The vivid shapes in Laura Ross-Paulï¿½s paintings and monotypes symbolize the point at which the internal and external forces combine. The paintingsï¿½ abstract backgrounds represent the intellectual and spiritual realm; the incisively depicted figures represent the material and scientific. Situated, but not embedded in their landscapes, Ross-Paulï¿½s figures hover between an emotional world and the real world. Her most recent body of work, simply titled Naked, was developed in response to deeply personal experiences of vulnerability and their related emotions. Exhibiting and active throughout the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years, Laura Ross-Paul is among the foremost painters of the region. Her narrative imagery is known for potent, direct emotion.

Let's get this out of the way: "cyberskins" are technologically wired powwow garments that draw from traditional and high tech cultures. Says artist Bently Spang: "The term "redskin", as Native peoples on this continent were called at one time (and which certain sports teams continue to use), emerges from a time in this country when one could collect a bounty for the skin of a dead Native person. Cyberskins, in direct contrast to this brutal act, is the act of creating a new skin. Cyberskins are technologically advanced exteriors that draw inspiration from current powwow regalia, traditional information and high tech culture to form an impenetrable shield. They are designed specifically to meet the demands of today's Native American Indian Aboriginal Indigenous Native person, as they continue to morph and grow."

As the “inventor” of the blockbuster exhibition King Tut, he has years of experience and insight into the modern museum and will lend his profound knowledge of art to a variety of events celebrating the Fine Arts Center's new museum. On Thursday August 2, Dr. Hoving will share his expertise and appreciation of art through tales of his escapades in the world of international art. “The Artful Tommy: Thomas Hoving, America’s Culture Scamp, Reveals How He Zig-Zagged His Way Through the Art World" promises to be both entertaining and enlightening. Lecture ticket-holders will be able to explore the new museum before the lecture begins, starting at 5 pm. Thomas Hoving joined the Met in 1959, working in the medieval department at The Cloisters until 1965, when he became curator of the department. He left the museum in 1966 to become New York Mayor John V. Lindsay's parks commissioner, but in 1967 returned to the Met as director after the incumbent, James J. Rorimer, died suddenly. Hoving assumed the directorship on March 17, 1967 and presided over a massive expansion and renovation of the museum, successfully adding many important collections to its holdings. Hoving is the author of books on a number of art-related subjects, as well as his memoirs of his time at the Met. His titles include Making the Mummies Dance: Inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Master Pieces: The Curator's Game, False Impressions, Greatest Works of Art of Western Civilization, and Art For Dummies in the "...For Dummies" series. His newest book, The Artful Tommy, will be available during the FAC opening events. "As director of Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1967 to 1977, brash, energetic Hoving transformed a stodgy, elitist institution into a bottom-line-oriented business enterprise, a modernized, expansive museum that actively engages the public." — Publishers Weekly

Matthew Crawford and Caron Oâ€™Neil, featured artists In a departure from his usual work, Matthew will explore the beauty of imperfect materials in the show Diamonds and Rust. He will incorporate rusted steel, diamonds, and textured/unpolished gold to create ornament from what would otherwise be considered unusable material. Most pieces will be small jewelry items, however some will incorporate small pedestals, so that the wearable portion may be displayed as part of a unified sculptural work. Caron Oâ€™Neil, with her fun imagination, finds disgarded items both man-made and natural for her mixed media sculpture and jewelry, bringing life and creativity back into things once lost or forgotten. Caron likes to call her work echo art. Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, July 20, 2007 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Commonwheel Gallery.

ROLL 2007 picks up the pace The Smokebrush Foundation for the Arts and freehub.us are proud to present Colorado Springs' 3rd Annual Bike Art Show. Formerly known as the All Dimensions Bicycle Art Show, the exhibit of Bicycle Art is back, now as ROLL 2007, for an extended showing of 6 weeks including two First Friday Art Walk Receptions from 5-8 pm on July 6th and August 3rd. The show runs July 6 - August 11, 2007 at Smokebrush Gallery, which is located under the Colorado Avenue Bridge in the Depot Arts District of Colorado Springs, at 218 W. Colorado Avenue, Suite 102. For directions, go to www.smokebrush.org. Favorite artists such as Taliah Lempert and John & Jennifer Ellis will be returning this year, and many new artists will be featured, including Canadian Sculptor David McCelvey and local photographer Holly Conlon. Be sure not to miss the Fourth of July Bike and the Santa Claus bike, courtesy of Steve Stevens of the Colorado Bicycle History Museum in Golden, Colorado. New for this year is the "108 Prayer Wheels for Peace" project. This community-based project began with the donation of used bicycle rims. Guided by Mary Beth Hamilton of Children's ARK, students in the nearby town of Green Mountain Falls produced wheels with themes of peace as a art of their Spring curriculum. The remaining 30 wheels were created by local youth at the Pikes Peak Arts Festival under the direction of Amber Cote and the kids of FutureSelf. The wheels will be fitted into a sculptural framework crafted by Tim Eckert, who created Smokebrush's Giant Driving Toaster, and the final piece, a kinetic sculpture celebrating art, collaboration, peace, and the environment, will be installed on the roof of Smokebrush Gallery. "108 Prayer Wheels for Peace" will be unveiled at the July 6 opening. The band "mumbo-jumbo" will perform on July 6 and Ray de Mers will perform on his mandolin August 3. "mumbo-jumbo," currently on tour in NY and Washington DC, features Michelle Webb and Joe Seltzer with fusion dub jazz. Listen online at Drum Academy USA returns in 2007 to present soloists, a duet and a quintet on July 6 and Aug 3. Beverages will be provided by Bristol Brewing Company. ROLL 2007 is a fundraising event and last year we raised $400 for Medicine Wheel Trail Group, contributing to the new Freeride Park in Red Rock Canyon State Park! ROLL 2007 will wind down with a closing party on August 3 with popular local band Head Full of Zombies, from 9 pm - 2 am at the Ritz. ROLL 2007 will celebrate the first annual Pikes Peak Classic race, pikespeakclassic.com, Colorado Springs' first organized Century Ride, as it closes on August 11.

FIDEM is celebrating its 30th Art Medal World Congress at the American Numismatic Association in Colorado Springs! For the first time in 20 years, The International Medal Federation (FIDEM) is holding its Art Medal World Congress in the United States. FIDEM XXX will bring together over 150 of the worldâ€™s finest handheld sculpture artists for a series of lectures, workshops, receptions and other activities. Events include a banquet at the 5-star Broadmoor Resort celebrating FIDEMâ€™s 70th birthday, and a special reception bringing together visiting artists and the Colorado Springs art community. The ANA Money Museum is preparing an exhibit featuring 1,500 handheld sculptures from 35 countries. Edmund Moy, Director of the United States Mint, will deliver the congressâ€™ keynote address on Sept. 19. Colorado Springs is home to Pikes Peak and a vibrant local art scene, and serves as a fitting home for FIDEM XXX. Several activities are planned to take advantage of this picturesque location. A post-congress trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico explores the heart of American Southwestern art & culture. For more than half a century, FIDEM has held a biennial congress and exhibition of medallic art. This yearâ€™s theme, Passages to Reconstruction, conveys a message of strength and hope following Hurricane Katrina and the tsunami that devastated South and Southeast Asia.

Thomas Hirschhorn-esque is the next installment in the Bad Art Night series. The artist Thomas Hirschhorn is known for his room-size installations made of tin-foil, magazines, packing tape and other non-traditional materials. Hmmm. . . those are precisely the types of materials that make a fantastic Bad Art Night. Come help create a giant installation in the painting studio next to the Gallery that knocks-off Hirschhorn's style in the worst possible way. The Bad Art Night series is an aesthetically liberating experience where artist and non-artist alike get together to make terrible, horrible, no good, very bad art. Painting, collage, drawing, sculpture, performance, video, abstraction, figuration - no medium or genre is safe in the hands of our participants. If you feel a bit timid dipping your toe into the choppy waters of high aesthetics, fear not, Bad Art Night is all about splashing around the shallow end of the artistic pool. Come and join us for a fun filled evening. Remember, no good art is ever allowed to be made at Bad Art Night. Check your aesthetic sensibilities at the door.

Last year's fundraiser, which rocked over 300 people with edgy fashion, art and entertainment, was named "Best New Event" by the Gazette and "Best Use of an Unconventional Space" by The Independent. This year, FLAUNT will again raise the bar for Springs' events. This benefit raises funds for the dynamic organization FutureSelf: Youth Discovering Success Through Art. This year's "cirque" theme will combine music and dance performances in collaboration with Idoru's high energy, progressive fashion show - more like theatre, less like a boring fundraiser! There will be food, beer and wine, and a sculpture garden including art from the youth participating in FutureSelf. The fun will continue into the night with a private V.I.P. after-party at a hip, downtown Colorado Springs nightclub. Ticket prices are $30 for General Admission and $60 for a VIP pass. Tickets will be available at Idoru (218 N. Tejon, Ste. 100), at two Toni and Guy locations (750 Citadel Dr E # 2292 & 1710 Briargate Blvd #143), and at www.flauntfashionunderthebridge.com This year's sponsors include Samuel Adams, Toni and Guy Salon, American National Bank, The Gazette, Manitou Arts Theater, Sonterra Grill, & Nosh. FutureSelf provides under-served, low-income youth ages 12 - 19 in the Pikes Peak region with arts-based workshops, exhibition, and performance opportunities. Young people experience connectedness, self-expression and success, and this results in increased self-efficacy, improved academic performance and hope for the future.
