Museum Mine Hike, 2009
kicker: The Telluride Historical Museum aims to collect reviews and $5,000 for programs and exhibits.
Tick tock. Tick tock. We're halfway through the deadline.
Here's the big idea: The Telluride Historical Museum has an opportunity to win $5,000. But it is going to need your help. And fast.
Starting February 1, the Telluride Museum began competing with non-profits all over the country for prize money awarded to the organization that garners the most reviews throughout the month.
Love is no laughing matter, except in Telluride, where comedy follows the BIg Day for the kid in diapers with the quiver of arrows.

When is a "Squid" a Cupid? The answer has nothing to less to do with more arms to hold you and more to do with ties that bind.
Have you been married forever, but it feels like yesterday? Is your crush new and fresh or still hidden? Is your best friend down in the mouth and needing a quicker pick me up? Have Telluride's Squids deliver the perfect Valentine's Day tribute: a Squid Cupidgram. (The nonviolent troupe replaces arrows with wit.)

Minor White was a major American photographer. Just how good, how influential is evidenced in the work of one of his former students. Jeff Elliott's moving show, "Another Face of Islam," is on display in the Daniel Tucker Gallery at Telluride's Ah Haa School for the Arts.
In Minor White's perspective one does not photograph something simply for "what it is", but "for what else it is." In creating his series of images of the Islamic world, Telluride local Jeff Elliott claims to have abandoned any notions of photo-documentation, choosing instead to use his eye to capture the "depth and serenity of the Islamic faith." Not what Islam is, but all that it is in form, spirit, light and the influence of the Muslim world.
Put another way, like White's images, Elliott's photographs are not about record keeping. Not about a "Kodak moment." They are as interpretative, magical and powerful as any abstract painting. And just as capable of delivering a gut punch – albeit with a velvet glove.

For the first time in its six year history, Denver Center Theatre Company has included a local theatre company in the upcoming Colorado New Play Summit. Buntport Theatre Company is a zany/brainy collaboration of theatrical inventors, who have consistently delivered Denver’s most original theatre for the past ten years. Taking on Hamlet, Kafka, Ovid and O’Neill, Buntport has proven itself a true mix of the ridiculous and the sublime.

The world of dreams is as mysterious as it is fascinating, a place mundane rules of reality do not apply. Hmm... Sounds a bit like Telluride, a decidedly dreamy place. Day and night, in winter in Telluride we dream of powder. But what other thoughts run through our subconscious minds when we turn off the lights? And what do our dreams mean?
Other individuals may share elements of our backgrounds, but their experiences are never exactly the same. No one else feels exactly as we feel or reacts as we react. Our dreams are connected to our unique reality, and have the power to unite body, mind, and spirit. But do my chase dreams mean the same thing as yours? What abut falling dreams? Flying dreams? Naked dreams? Dreams about murder and mayhem? What about recurring themes in dreams?
Like backcountry trails, these constellations of archetypal images trying to speak through us are best explored with a guide.
