Just a little reminder to those of you who love hot rods, street rods, muscle cars, classic trucks and vintage automobiles. "April Action" - the Moab Classic Car Show - takes place this weekend, Apr. 23-25, in the town's downtown City Park. On Friday,...
"Tia Fuller’s sophomore release on Mack Avenue, "Decisive Steps," is a beautiful, musical journey. It has been a wonderful experience, watching Tia blossom from an eager music student in high school, to being known as one of the “up and coming” saxophonists and composers in the jazz world. Just like the Montgomery and Marsalis families, Denver’s Fuller Family is filled with talent and their musical roots run deep."

Telluride Inside... and Out has spent a whirlwind week in Denver. Friday evening we caught Tia Fuller's set at Denver jazz hotspot, Dazzle. Fuller was in town celebrating the recent release of her CD, "Decisive Steps" for the Mack Avenue label.
Telluride Inside... and Out scratched the surface of Denver's robust art scene, visiting two major public spaces and our favorite gallery.
On a beautiful albeit very windy Spring afternoon, we made a pilgrimage to see Henry Moore (1898 – 1986) in the Denver Botanic Gardens and were blown away (very nearly literally). The show, the very first major outdoor exhibition of the artist's works in the American West, features 20 monumental sculptures, primarily bronze, some fiberglass, by the celebrated Brit, from a reclining " Naked Maya" stretching nearly 30 feet long and dominating a grassy knoll to an tender depiction of a mother cradling a child, standing under three feet tall, hidden in a clearing. 
Mariela's bummed, and Jose is in a major slump, but Telluride Inside... and Out is riding a wave that just won't quit on our whirlwind tour of Denver's rich cultural landscape. 
There is absolutely positively nothing fishy about the collaboration between the Telluride Film Festival and the award-winning Wilkinson Public Library – except the stench from the derring-do portrayed in director Hubert Sauper's "Darwin's Nightmare." 
"Opus." The word is Latin for work, but it was no work at all. The experience was, top to bottom, a pleasure.

It was time to stretch our wings, and so we sprung ourselves from the anodyne Spring of Telluride and headed for our second home: Denver.
Our loft is downtown, just on the edge of LoDo in Curtis Park, a neighborhood in the throes of a full-throated appeal for gentrification, but still a bit rough around the edges.
Winter meltdown in Telluride means the Ah Haa School sets its sights on the next big season: the long hot(ish) summer. KOTO is Telluride's radio link to the world, a non-underwritten, community-supported, commercial-free station, nurtured and embraced by the Telluride community. In addition, KOTO sponsors community events year 'round. Friday, April 2, KOTO put on its annual end-of-ski season street dance on Colorado Avenue, with the bandstand next to the San Miguel County courthouse.
The day didn't begin auspiciously- the wind was howling and the heavy snow was blowing horizontally. It didn't look good. But by early afternoon the clouds broke, the wind settled, and by showtime, it was a delightful time to dance, listen, enjoy the company of friends and strangers, let the kids run. In short it was a great community event.
If your off season plans take you through the Denver Airport, pray that your plane is delayed (slightly) so that you’ll have time to go check out the current exhibit at the Ansbacher Hall, located on the walkway between the A concourse and the main terminal. Two local artists, Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and Meredith Nemirov, are featured in 33 IDEAS!, an exhibit showcasing innovative artists and writers who have investigated land and social issues in a variety of mediums. With an artistic and literary exploration of contemporary topics, this exhibit is intended to create dialogue about a variety of issues and inspire new ways of thinking.
33 IDEAS! showcases visual and literary artists associated with Colorado Art Ranch, where they have been presenters, artists-in-residence, or involved in one or more Artposia (public interdisciplinary symposia). The group was selected to represent Colorado Art Ranch’s philosophy.
