Cultural Events Calendar

Please join us on Thursday, September 3rd from 5-7 pm for a reception and artist talk by Frank Meuschke at the CMC Art Share Gallery at Morgridge Commons in Glenwood Springs. Come out and please share with your photography friends at CMC and in the greater Roaring Fork Community.

This year's celebration carries special significance: it marks 30 years of the Redstone Art Foundation's mission to promote and encourage the arts in the Crystal Valley, and we welcome visitors over the newly completed South Bridge, which now offers safer, easier access into Redstone for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Guests can look forward to browsing and purchasing original work from more than 30 juried artists working in painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry, and more. Live music will fill the grounds Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, setting a festive tone for an event that has become a cornerstone of Labor Day weekend in the Crystal River Valley. Throughout the weekend, visiting artists will offer live demonstrations, giving attendees a rare glimpse into their creative process, while dedicated kids' activities ensure the whole family can take part in the celebration.

This exhibition features a curated selection of 12-14 of the artist’s most compelling black-and-white photographs of Mount Sopris, captured over the past 15 years. Each image is presented as a metal print ranging from 20×30 to 30×45 inches, including both horizontal and vertical compositions, with several works offered as multi-panel installations.

On view: October 2 to October 30, 2026
Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM

This exhibition brings together butterfly-wing portraits from Benjamin Timpson’s Illuminated Lives with new experiments in glass, resin, and light. The portraits honor lives shaped by resilience and loss, while the newer works expand the inquiry into transparency, fragility, and transformation. Layered materials bend and refract light, suggesting both protection and exposure, and marking a new chapter in an ongoing meditation on memory, survival, and metamorphosis.

Rooted in traditional representational painting, Kinsley’s style has evolved to amplify Nature’s sensual forms, some obvious, others obscure. One curator calls his work “voluptuous.”

In oil, he paints his smaller pieces plein air. Larger pieces begin as field sketches that establish composition, which he amplifies in the studio as sinuous natural shapes. These two-steps allow him to see on-site the convergence of subtle shapes that photos often miss, then interpret and refine the shapes more deliberatively in the studio.

On view: October 2 to October 30, 2026
Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM

Chris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale, Colorado, whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape, abstraction, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country, Saiopor, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature.

On view: November 6 to December 4, 2026
Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM

Rachel Becker brings a series that explores weaving, webs, and networks as structures that connect, hold, and move vital energy. Constructed from found and foraged materials: branches, plant fibers, fishing line, and produce netting, the lightweight hanging sculptures reference nets, tapestries, and natural systems. Installed as an immersive canopy, the works invite visitors to step inside the visible and invisible networks that shape our world, from mycelial pathways to the “World Wide Web.”

On view: November 6 to December 4, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM

HOME / UN HOGAR: Welcomes Basalt High School students celebrating the voices and artistic expressions of these students who have recently arrived in the United States.

This community-centered program offers students the opportunity to reflect on the concept of “home”, both the home they’ve left behind and the new home they are building here in the Roaring Fork Valley. Through bilingual instruction and artistic mentorship from Gabriela Mejia, students will create individual artworks and written reflections.

On view: December 11, 2026 to January 2, 2027
Opening Reception & Artist Talk: Friday, December 11 from 5 PM- 7 PM

Lindsey Yeager creates large-scale gouache paintings that explore disconnection, grief, transformation, and the emotional weight of living in a rapidly changing world. Their work merges personal narrative with broader cultural anxieties, examining loss, fear, and the longing to be understood. Through vivid imagery and metaphor, the paintings probe the messy, creature-like experience of navigating a world that often feels uninhabitable.
