First Thursday Art Walk: Weatherford at Ah Haa
Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts, 300 South Townsend, honors painter Robert Weatherford with a retrospective showcasing 25 years of painting, including florals, landscapes, still-lifes and portraits. The opening of the exhibit in the Daniel Tucker Gallery coincides with the Telluride Council for the Arts & Humanities' First Thursday Art Walk, August 5, 5 - 8 p.m. Across town, a show at the Stronghouse Studios, 283 South Fir Street, features the work of one of Weatherford's students, county commissioner Elaine Fischer. Fischer's work underlines the legacy of her teacher: the triumph of visceral over cerebral.
