Telluride local Ben Clark with his trekking friends Jon Miller and Josh Butson spent Spring of 2009 in Nepal. The team posted five episodes of raw footage video shot during their journey on iTunes. Check it out: the episodes collectively show up first on...

What's it all about?
Editor's note: Shortly after interview, in which we encouraged the community to attend, Telluride Inside...and Out learned from the management at Capella Telluride that the event is sold out. No room at the Inn. Period. With luck, that is not the end of the story. Perhaps Rebecca Shambaugh could be convinced to deliver a series of local talks on the subject of women and leadership. Stay tuned...
Women's Ski Week, March 6 – March 11, coincides with International Women's Day, March 8, and the San Miguel Resource Center's Phenomenal Women's Week in Telluride, March 8 – March 15. Appropriately enough, on International Women's Day, Women's Ski Week welcomes keynote speaker, nationally known leadership strategist/author/CEO Rebecca Shambaugh, by all accounts a phenomenal woman.
Local teens will be tuning in as Wilkinson Public Library celebrates the third annual Teen Tech Week March 8-12, 2010. WPL joins thousands of other libraries and schools across the country who are celebrating this year’s theme, "Learn Create Share @ Your Library.” Teen Tech Week is a national initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' non-print resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
“Offering a variety of technologies and providing top notch education about these resources is of vital importance to the youth of our community,” says Sarah Lawton, Wilkinson Public Library’s Teen Librarian. “We are fortunate to have a great group of kids here in Telluride. They are smart, motivated and eager to engage. By providing programs that speak to their interests, we can link teens with the world of information while introducing them to the strength of community.”

Passes to the 37th Telluride Film Festival (September 3-6, 2010) are now available to the public.
The audience at the 36th annual Telluride Film Festival was the first in the world to view a number of Academy Award-nominated films including Jason Reitman's "Up in the Air," "Bright Star," "The White Ribbon" and "The Last Station."
Purchasing a pass allows the moviegoer complete flexibility throughout the four-day Festival. Pass-holders are able to move from theatre to theatre, event to event at their leisure while taking in the beauty of the Telluride surroundings.
Telluride local Julee Hutchison paints in oils on canvas with loose, open brushstrokes. Her focus is almost always the Big Picture, as she creates valentines to broad, open vistas and little corners of the world, although her landscapes are unmistakably American. Even in her portraits, the artist remains at one cool remove to take in and reflect the whole package, mining poetry from a smile or the tilt of a shoulder. Hutchison, however, is not strictly speaking a realist. She takes liberties with color to add punch or direct the eye of her viewer.
Cinematheque, the highly successful collaboration between the Telluride Film Festival and the Wilkinson Public Library, continues its "All About Food" series Monday, March 8. The pre-SHOW reception starts at 5:30 p.m. Curtain up at 6 p.m.
