Culture

Telluride's Palm Theatre is offering up a little recession-friendly entertainment for the whole family AND a great after school activity. Where else can you see your favorite films on the big screen for only $1? Can you deduce the names of these movies from the clues below? The Palm says they can't tell us the titles, but surely it's more fun this way, right?

Upcoming in January:

What happens in Telluride does not stay in Telluride. Witness Greensky Bluegrass. Since winning the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's band concert in 2006 and returning in 2007 to sell-out Nightgrass, it's been blue skies everyday for Greensky Bluegrass. The band circles back to where it all began, performing this time at the historic Sheridan Opera House on January 14. Show time is 8 p.m.

Ready for a winter break? Would a little reggae help? The Telluride Tourism Board and The Sheridan Arts Foundation have joined forces to present the legendary Wailers at the Telluride Conference Center tonight, January 12, at 8:00 pm, with guest group, Supervillains. For more...

Friends Poster Part-time Tellurider, painter Jane Taylor, and her husband, photographer Frederic Ohringer, join a group of Hudson Valley artists featured together in a group show in Germantown, New York. Ohringer curated the exhibit at the request of ArtSpace. The opening reception is January 16.

Taylor is no stranger to Telluride collectors. Her shows at the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art and at the Scott White Gallery used to sell out. Taylor's subject matter evolved over the years from abstractions suggesting worlds coming apart to the bounty of the table and garden, summarizing the arc of the artist's life. Insider poop aside, by channeling her physical experiences of the outside world, each tour de force painting became about making the commonplace look uncommonly good. Something that straddled the border between memory and metaphor, reality and illusion. Something transcendent.

The Sheridan Arts Foundation and the Telluride Tourism Board present the legendary Wailers with special guests, The Supervillains. The concert takes place Tuesday, January 12, 2010, at the Telluride Conference Center. Showtime is 8 p.m.


Say the name "The Wailers," and two cultural phenomena instantly pop to mind: Bob Marley and roots rock reggae, inspired in part by the Rastafarian religion. It was Marley who brought Jamaican music to the masses in the 1970s, just after the group was formed in 1969.

A new collaboration premiered Thursday evening at the Wilkinson Public Library in Telluride. Bob Rubadeau approached TIO early in December with the idea of having a self-publishing section within Telluride Inside... and Out.

Scott Doser, program director at the Library, Amy Cannon of the Telluride Writers Guild and Between the Covers Bookstore got on board. The first get-together brought out over thirty people interested in learning how to get published once they have something down on paper (or on their Mac).

The Telluride Council for the Arts & Humanities kicks off the New Year with its First Thursday Art Walk this week, January 7, 5 – 8 p.m.

Holiday trifecta over and done, Amy Jean Boebel took the old adage about ringing in the new to heart. Art Walk celebrates the opening of her brand new gallery, Sapsucker Studios, 299 South Fir Street, and a show of her latest work, "Screen Scapes and Shapes." In future, Sapsucker will be dedicated to cutting edge regional art, including installations.

Blindside Olddogs_smallposter Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing "Old Dogs" this week (Jan 8-14) along with the repeat performance of "The Blind Side".

TIO talked about "The Blind Side" last week: the story is about a homeless kid in Memphis who is adopted by a well-off family, and becomes a football star. (PG-13)

"Old Dogs" is a comedy with John Travolta and Robin Williams, one a confirmed bachelor, the other a bachelor by way of divorce. They are on the verge of a big business deal with the Japanese, with the complication of having to take care of 7 year old twins. The critics mostly hated it; audiences seem to love it. You'll have to go and make up your own mind. (Rated PG)

Showtimes below, reviews and trailers on the Nugget website.

DSC_0146 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.


Last January, TCAH's Strong Studios featured the work of newly minted local Amy Jean Boebel, a recycler with massive creative chops. "Seventeen Scrolls of Screen" featured playfully elegant sculptures created entirely from rolls of wire screen. Exactly one year later, Boebel managed to open her own gallery: Sapsucker Studios, 299 South Fir Street, where the idea is to feature cutting-edge work produced by regional artists. Sapsucker's debut show this Thursday features her own "Screen Scapes and Shapes," illuminative aluminum screen wall hangings and sculpture in which shadows complete the picture in a play of movement and light.
