The first Native American newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, was published from 1828 to 1834 in what is today northern Georgia. Newspaper articles were printed in English and in Cherokee using the Sequoyan syllabary. While the Phoenix is a prized asset to any library, scholarship describing the newspaper's print shop is scarce. Frank Brannon's research regarding the Phoenix explores three primary items used in printing the newspaper: the metal printing type, the press and the paper used in printing. Brannon will present his research on the Phoenix print shop and the Cherokee syllabary. A special focus of the talk will be a description of the limited edition monograph produced from the research, which was printed in traditional letterpress manner with handmade paper and bound in a style evocative of early 19th-century bindings west of the Appalachians. Visit Brannon's Web site at www.speakeasypress.com. An exhibit of Brannon's work will be in Tutt Library from June 25-July 13. Location: McHugh Commons Tickets: free

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.

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.

On Wednesday, August 15th at 7:00 p.m., Palmer Lake resident David Stang will present a short documentary film and discussion on the life and work of his sister Dorothy Stang in Brazil. Internationally renown, Sister Dorothy, born in Dayton, Ohio but a naturalized Brazilian citizen, worked as an advocate for the rural poor beginning in the early 1970's, helping peasants make a living by farming small plots and extracting forest products without deforestation. . She established 21 settlements of farmers committed to conservation farming methods on rainforest land coveted by Brazilian ranchers and loggers and sought to protect them from the criminal gangs who were after their land. Dot, as she was called by her family, friends and most locals in Brazil, is often pictured wearing a t-shirt with the slogan, "A Morte da floresta ï¿½ o fim da nossa vida," which is Portuguese for "The death of the forest is the end of our life." Stang, age 73, was shot by ranching land grabbers on February 12, 2005. ï¿½ I don't want to flee, nor do I want to abandon the battle of these farmers who live without any protection in the forest. They have the sacrosanct right to aspire to a better life on land where they can live and work with dignity while respecting the environment. ï¿½ In 2004, Sister Dorothy was named "Woman of the Year" by the state of Para for her work in the Amazon region and also received the Humanitarian of the Year award from the Brazilian Bar Association for her work helping the local rural workers. Don't Miss Her Amazing Story!

Get a leg up on what's going on in the wider world of visual art as The Gallery of Contemporary Art, UCCS partners with Art21 the leading contemporary art documentary series to preview the fourth season of Art:21-Art in the Twenty-First Century for the Pikes Peak region. Art21 travels across the country and abroad to film 17 contemporary artists, from painters and sculptors to photographers and filmmakers, in their own spaces and in their own words. The result is a rare opportunity for television viewers to experience first-hand the complex artistic process â€“ from inception to finished product â€“ behind some of todayâ€™s most thought-provoking art. The artists profiled in the series speak directly to the audience, describing their passions, impulses and methods. Viewers are invited behind-the-scenes to see artists at work in their studios, homes, communities, and in sites as diverse as an old-growth forest near Seattle, a military base in California, a theater academy in Warsaw, and a film set, in addition to galleries and museums. â€œThis series not only showcases the contributions of these artists, but also transcends the everyday art experience of a museum or gallery visit,â€ says Susan Sollins, Executive Producer of the series. â€œViewers can discover what goes on inside the minds of these dynamic and thoughtful people, and what they have to say can significantly expand our knowledge and understanding of the world.â€ As in the previous three seasons of Art:21â€“Art in the Twenty-First Century, each hour-long episode of Season 4 is loosely structured around a theme that unifies the individual artists â€“ as diverse as their mediums may be. Season 4 episodes of Art:21â€“Art in the Twenty-First Century include the themes of Ecology, Paradox, Protest, and Romance. The Gallery will premiere two of the four new episodes - one on Friday during lunch and the other Friday evening.

What do circular saws, kevlar, disposable diapers and liquid paper all have in common? They were all invented by women! Today's women wear many hats: mother, wife, professional, housekeeper, student, to name but a few. In fulfilling these roles, they invent solutions to all sorts of challenges life throws their way. As a service to the community, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs will conduct a half-day "how to" workshop aimed at helping women take their creative ideas for new products to a mass market-whether that's by selling their concepts to established companies, or by starting a business of their own. The workshop will answer key questions, such as: How do I... ...formulate my idea? ...protect my idea? ...determine the demand for my idea? ...prototype my idea? ...establish my new business? ...manufacture my product? ...get my product to my customers? The entrepreneurial spirit of small business owners is the fuel for America's economic engine. Each year, millions of people take the plunge in starting new ventures. Women - and moms in particular - represent a great reservoir of entrepreneurial energy that can contribute mightily to the economic development of our region. The sessions will be led by product design and development experts from the faculty and staff at UCCS. Lunch will be provided and the featured lunchtime speaker is Ms. Alyson Probst, a local inventor, business owner and winner of a First Prize Grant in the Whirlpool "Mothers of Invention" Contest for her creation of the "Snack and Play Travel Tray". Admission is $15 and reservations are REQUIRED. Go to www.learntocreate.com to register. The workshop will take place at the Garden Pavillion of the Penrose House, located near the Broadmoor Hotel, at 1661 Mesa Avenue in Colorado Springs. The event planning is being handled by Backstrom Events. Joining UCCS in sponsoring this workshop are Imagination Celebration, the Colorado Small Business Development Center, the Colorado Institute for Technology Transfer and Implementation, and the El Pomar Foundation.

"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth ... the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need -- if only we had the eyes to see," said Edward Abbey. William Rogers and Suzanne Jones will discuss both sides of the debate over the adequacy of our region's wilderness areas and other wildlands. Rogers is president of the Trust for Public Lands, and Jones is the Colorado-Utah regional director for The Wilderness Society.

Well, that's because there is so much science behind the art of photography that it'd be hard to do.

Additionally, Museum visitors will explore the science of art, identifying the elements of art while browsing the Museum's new photography exhibit: "Changing Mines in America."

The recently-opened WeUsOur Artist's Market in Manitou Springs is a fantastic place to discover all kinds of hand-made oddities. They're also doing their best to break the mold of the Manitou craft store by bringing art and artists from far and wide to mingle their wares with the locals. Take the upcoming visit of Lxmi Kumar Prajapati from Katmandu, for example. The surname Prajapati means potter in the village of Thimi, Nepal. Laxmi brings tableware and ornamental pieces not seen in this area before. Three foot tall lions that guard the Buddhist temples, Ganesh sconces to clear obstacles from your life, and elegant contemporary tableware benchmark the work of Laxmi. Meet this humble man, see him demonstrate how he makes an elephant head on a potterï¿½s wheel, and view the contemporary wares he brings to us influenced by generations of Thimi potters. Thimi is a village of potters whose trade extends far back in generations. To make current processes and technologies accessible to these Thimi potters, Laxmi and his brother, Santa, have started a pottery cooperative. The Nepal Ceramics Co-operative Society is an organized group that buys materials collectively and brings them to the village artisans making the components of modern glaze technology accessible to the remote area.
