Art of Being a Woman Month continues at the Ah Haa School for the Arts. And we hope to see you here at the school this Thursday the 13th for LUNAFEST, the national traveling film festival of award-winning films by, for and about women. Join us for a night of inspiring films and company while supporting two great causes, the national Breast Cancer Fund and our very own San Miguel Resouce Center.
And the fun continues next week with our 2nd Annual BRAvo! This was a hugely successful event last year where the community got their creative juices flowing and helped raise money for the San Miguel Resource Center. Over 30 bras were decorated and auctioned off in a live and silent auction. The live auction bras were sported by some of Telluride's finest service men on the bar at the Sheridan. These brave men strutted the bras proudly, reminding us all that breast cancer effects both men and woman and is a disease that almost everyone has been personally effectd by.

Sponsored by the Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities, the First Thursday Art Walk is a once-a-month opportunity for galleries, studios, and retail stores to strut their considerable stuff. The meet-and-greet takes place all day until 8 p.m. October 6 marks the final Art Walk of the 2011 season.
New for the summer/fall season 2011 select venues continue to welcome children and their families for a special Kids Walk. A treasure map provides a self-guided tour and simple activities that teach basic principles of art through observation. Key venues offer hands-on activities.
Among the venues not to miss:
Yesterday, Telluride Inside… and Out was on the move again, this time to visit old friends and former Telluride locals Sidney and Monique Lazard in Philadelphia. Our rendezvous was set for the Philadelphia Art Museum.
In the 17th century century, the period known as the Golden Age of the Netherlands, the Dutch Republic reached unprecedented economic, political and cultural heights and saw a flowering of artistic talent to rival the tulip crop. The Holy Trinity of that period was Frans Hals, whom we talked about in a recent post about a show of his work at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, Johannes Vermeer, and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 – 1669). Ever ready to embrace synchronicity, turned out Philadelphia was featuring Rembrandt.
These are the faces not just a mother can love and an ethos also easy to relate to. Still, in the case of painter Frans Hals. On Firday, Telluride Inside… and Out visited the Big Apple once again. Our two key stops yesterday: the Frans Hals show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Red Grooms show at the Marlborough Gallery, 40 West 57th Street.
Though divided by centuries, the two artists have more in common than meets the eye. Hals and Grooms convince with clear-eyed depictions of the human condition. Both became well known for affectionate yet truthful portrayals of the urban cultures of 17th-century Haarlem, the Netherlands, Hal's adopted home, and 20th/21st century New York in the case of Grooms.
