Telluride is not a town to rest on its laurels. We keep reinventing ourselves and our local institutions. Case in point, the Telluride Historical Museum, with a packed calendar for the winter season, starting later this month.
Mark your calendars for the following no-miss events:
At Telluride's Wilkinson Public Library, program coordinator Scott Doser hits the ground running in the New Year.
Trying to come to terms with death and dying? Navel gazing is a start. Reading classic Yoga or Buddhist texts would definitely help. Or visit the Program Room of the Wilkinson Public Library, tonight, Monday, January 11, 6 p.m.
The Library is screening the cult classic about a very rich, very suicidal young man named Harold, age 20, who falls in love with a very poor, life-loving woman – she grieves for a small tree, suffocating in the city's pollution – named Maude, who is 79 3/4. "Harold and Maude" is the mommy of pop TV series such as "Six Feet Under" and all ensuring existential meditations, "Dexter" included, on the fragility of life and black humor that surrounds death.

It's a look favored in Telluride by any poor sap who has just wrecked his wrist on the mountain - sort of. This week's topic for Fashion Friday from Telluride Inside... and Out's fashionista, Kristin Holbrook of Two Skirts, is fingerless gloves.
Ah yes, we remember it well: The 1980s, the happy decade sandwiched between go-get 'em social activism and self-loathing grunge. That was also the era when lots of young girls turned to the Material Girl for fashion inspiration. On "Like A Virgin," Madonna is wearing the quintessential 80s attire: a white wedding dress with white fingerless gloves.
Fast forward to the present, and another fashion icon (certainly in her own mind) Paris Hilton recently appeared on the "Ellen" show wearing a black and white ensemble that included Chanel fingerless gloves tricked out with rhinestones.
Sponsored by the Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities, The First Thursday Art Walk is a day-long block party with a mission: to showcase Telluride's fine art scene, including galleries and studios, which stay open late until 8 p.m. The first Art Walk of the New Year is this Thursday, January 7, 5 – 8 p.m.

Clint and Susan Viebrock of Telluride Inside... and Out, the Wilkinson Public Library, the Telluride Writers Guild, Between the Covers Bookstore, and Bob Rubadeau's Sirius Publications have joined forces to help local writers and visual artists develop the skills necessary to explore the brave new world of small house/self-publishing in order to mine worldwide markets/outlets for their works. The online vehicle for accomplishing the ambitious objective of bringing manuscripts to publication is a subdomain of Telluride Inside... and Out: Book Biz. The complementary interactive free seminars held monthly in the Program Room of the Wilkinson Public Library operates under the banner Community Publishing 101.
