BioneersTelluride Inside… and Out met the Bioneers founders Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons in the 1990s, when they came to town for a talk. Their progeny return Star Trek-style, Friday, October 14 – Sunday, October 16, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., when Bioneers beam into Telluride's five star Wilkinson Public Library for its annual conference.

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.

Shive_mt_yellowstonenp_1008_0816 The 2nd annual Telluride Photo Festival is underway. The event, which runs from September 26 – October 2, targets professional and experienced amateur photographers with a menu of activities that includes workshops, seminars, symposiums, portfolio reviews and exhibits. And since it's Telluride, home to Mountainfilm and eco-crusaders, founder Eric Moore puts the emphasis on conservation photography, such as the work of Ian Shive.

On Friday, September 30, Photo Fest hosts a screening of Ian's documentary, "Wild Life: A New Generation of Wild." Ian appears on two panels, one on conservation photography and a second about the use of still photography for environmental activism. He also plans to be on hand for a book-signing at Between the Covers bookstore, also Friday. (Check Photo Fest's website for exact details.)

Young People's Literature and Art Festival & Exhibit features Brian Selznick

Selznick Poster Connect the dots and what becomes apparent is a certain symmetry between the Telluride Film Festival and Telluride's five-star Wilkinson Public Library, whose upcoming Cinematheque – stay tuned for exact dates and films – is one of the most popular events of Telluride's fall/winter season.

Martin Scorsese's "Living in a Material World," about the life and times of Beatles "dark horse" George Harrison screened at the Film Festival over Labor Day weekend as did a Serge Bromberg's painstaking and beautiful restoration of George Melies's silent film masterpiece, "A Trip to the Moon," which Bromberg once described as "the 'Avatar' of its day. Scorsese's next big project and his first dive into a film for children is "Hugo," a project formerly known as "Hugo Cabret." (Apparently focus groups nixed the longer name).

Ah Haa School for the Arts

Thoughout October, the Ah Haa School for the Arts will be saluting the courageous women of San Miguel County and the organizations that support them by showcasing women in the arts. Art of Being a Woman Month will present a month full of activities, events and special exhibtions all celebrating the female spirit.

Telluride's very own, Julee Hutchison will start the month off with a discounted two day oil painting workshop, Portraits of a Woman, for beginner and intermediate painters. Capture the beauty of the female form and face in the richness of oil paint, during this fun and non-intimidating class. Julee will discuss and demonstrate composition, anatomy, mixing of colors, the approach to a blank canvas, and the importances of “edges”. During the lunch break we will look at photos of famous painters and discuss the factors of their successful paintings. This course empowers the apprehensive creator to engage with a rewarding medium, by receiving one-on-one instructions as they paint from a female model.

Ah Haa School for the Arts

Well, the leaves are turning and this is our last big weekend before town is quiet. But just because town is slowing down, doesn't mean the Ah Haa School is. Our new fall/winter catalog is online and at the printer. The catalog has a great line up of workshops and events for adults and kids and showcases the beautiful work of local artist, Judy Haas on the cover.

Don't forget that next month is The Art of Being A Woman Month where the Ah Haa School celebrates the female spirit in the arts. The school will once again host Lunafest, the national touring women’s short film festival, a handful of workshops and last year's every popular BRAvo Auction. Be a part of BRAvo this year and decorate a bra to help raise awareness about breast cancer. Bras will be available at the school starting next Friday the 23rd. Partial proceeds will benefit the San Miguel Resource Center.

 Two-day celebration begins September 9 with old-timey telethon

Poster-40th-pink2-662x1024 The history of the Telluride Council for the Arts & Humanities, aka Telluride Arts, is the history of our town from the tie-dyed days hippies and falling down shacks, the 1970s, to robust resort packed with ski bums, entrepreneurs and retired CEOS, living in hot-and-cold running condos and restored Victorians. What everyone has had in common over the years is reverence for the Telluride landscape and abiding support for the region's cultural economy, initially nurtured by Telluride Arts.

In 1971, the ski area had just opened and the town's brand new Arts Council began looking for state grants and running benefits. Those early years were focused on incubating a dynamic arts activity by fostering grass roots initiatives and presenting and producing a robust array of cultural events and activities.  Many of those programs hatched under Telluride Arts have flourished and helped define the region, among them:  Telluride Film Festival, Telluride Chamber Music Festival, Telluride Bluegrass, all three having just celebrated 38 years in business. The Telluride Jazz Celebration, Telluride Writer's Guild and the Telluride Artists' Bazaar also received a leg up from the organization.

CLICK-OR-CALL-e1315247979936 Telluride Arts turns 40 this year. Rather than crashing and burning in a mid-life crisis, the nonprofit also known as TCAH has big plans for the future and is celebrating Big Time.

Telluride Arts is hosting a two-day bash starting with a telethon. (The word is shorthand for "television fundraising marathon," a way to open wallets that started in the Fifties).  Beginning Friday, September 9, 9 p.m.  and continuing straight through Saturday until  9 p.m., the wild and crazy fundraising spectacle is scheduled to be broadcast LIVE from the The Steaming Bean, HUB (across the street), with the finale from The Sheridan Opera House. Viewers not in Telluride can view on www.telluridearts.org and in Telluride, on Telluride TV Channel 12.

077.Aspen,Green,Yellow-web For Telluride Inside… and Out, this is personal. We own two Bill Ellzey photographs. The first, a black-and-white image, was a gift to Clint Viebrock for his 50th birthday. It depicts a calf being rescued from a ditch by two cowboys. We obtained the second print, a small color photograph of a delicate bird perched on a fern, at Baerbel Hacke's art auction for the Telluride AIDS Benefit. Both photographs are classic Ellzey and bear the imprint of his nature: penetrating, focussed, elegantly spare.They tell us life's wonder is everywhere. Celebrate.

Friday – Sunday, September 30 – October 2, Bill Ellzey is teaching a class at Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts. The workshop is for at least semi-serious landscape photographers.
