Cultural Events Calendar

In conversation with Jon Waterman, Miriam Horn discusses her new book—Homesick for a World Unknown—the first-ever biography of George Schaller, the founding father of wildlife science and conservation.

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.

Join us for an evening of painting! We will watch a Bob Ross, The Joy of Painting video and follow along. We will use acrylics and a smaller canvas so you can take it home at the end of the event. All brushes, paints, canvas and required supplies are to be provided. Snacks and tea will be provided.

Come check out Nashville-style songwriters in the round on October 16! These award-winning writers will share their original songs and the stories behind them. This will be a stellar night of Folk, Indie, Bluegrass, and Country songwriting at its finest. The in-the-round concert format leads to intimate performances and unexpected collaborations... don't miss it!

Celebrate fall with an evening of pumpkin painting. We’ll provide the pumpkin and supplies—just bring your creativity and enjoy food and drinks as you paint.

October 23 | 8 - 10 PM

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

This Halloween, step into the Wild West for an evening of mystery and murder. Take on a character, uncover clues, and work together to solve the crime at the Rattlesnake Saloon.

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.

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.”
