Here at the Ah Haa School for the Arts, we are gearing up for the end of the ski season with two exhibits featuring the work of three strong and immensely talented local women. Each has her own views and perceptions of the world around...

Like the boys said. They moved to Telluride just north of a year ago with two ideas in mind: open a media and content provision company  – done,  Open Exposure Media has legs – and shred pow. They have legs doing that too. Check out...

It was the next most logical step in both of their lives. After living in Argentina for almost a year perfecting his Spanish and journalistic craft, Gavin Anstey returned to Colorado, set on basking in the ski-town lifestyle of Telluride, where he could be close to...

As You Like It poster Last year, after a five-year time out, the Telluride Repertory Theatre brought back  its very popular Shakespeare in the Park with a production of  "The Merchant of Venice."

"Merchant of Venice" is not light fare. It deals with racial profiling in the person of Shylock (said Merchant), whom the Bard portrays in a somewhat grotesque, anti-Semitic caricature. Ultimately "Merchant" is about the complex nature of humanity: none of us are without prejudice. All of us reflect shades of gray. This year, the tone changes. Jeb Berrier returns to direct, but this time, one of the Bard's most popular comedies.

#1: Learn How to Make Thailandaise with Siam’s chef, Jeff Badger

(ed. note: Emily begins a new series on Telluride Inside... and Out, featuring local chefs working with the bounty of the Friday Telluride Farmers' Market, and the Mountain Village Wednesday market. Be sure to watch the video at the end of the post.)

I love summer in Telluride. I love watching the snowmelt into tiny threads on the trails. I love the transformation from mud to wildflowers. And I love the Telluride Farmers' Market.

To me, the Telluride Farmers' Market screams life. The colors and smells of the market have a way of seducing me. Indeed, after only a few strolls up and down Oak Street, my basket is always overflowing. It’s only then that I realize I’ve done it again: I’ve bought far more ingredients than I know what to do with.

Morgan & Chris 1 Telluride Inside... and Out does not have a Sundays Styles section like the New York Times, but from time to time, we write about happy couples on their The Big Day, like the big boys. So let's all break from the retail steeplechase of the holiday season to raise a glass to (relatively speaking) newlyweds, Telluride local Morgan Metzger and her hubbie Chris Matson.

Morgan Metzger was born in Chicago, but grew up in Telluride, where she has lived since 1985. At the Telluride Academy, she joined the Mystery Drama Troupe known as the Mudd Butts, and at one point, thought to become an actress. But Morgan discovered she got stage fright and became an artist/interior designer instead.

There was, however, no stage fright, none whatsoever, when Morgan Metzger married Chris Matson on a beach at sunset on Anna Maria Island, Florida, Saturday, November 13. The couple were officially hitched by internationally renowned, Telluride-based artist Robert Weatherford, who is also an ordained minister.
