Our Colorado Legacy: Wildlife and Wild Places by Sarah Woods. A.R. Mitchell Museum, 150 E. Main. Museum hours: Tues-Sun 10am-4pm. 719-846-4224, armitchell.org.
The Mitch opens its 2008 season with the beautiful oil paintings of Sarah Woods. Sarah attributes her crisp bold colors and dramatic lighting to her life at high altitude. Having lived most of her life in Wyoming and Colorado, she feels passionate about the disappearing western landscape and feels a responsibility to document its fragile beauty. Sarah exhibits in such prestigious shows as the National Museum of Wildlife Art's Western Visions, Birds in Art, and Art & the Animal Kingdom. She was seven times included in the Arts for the Parks Competition, twice as an award winner. Sarah’s work has been featured in American Artist, Art of the West, and Wildlife Art, as well as on the covers of Whitetales and Waterfowl USA. She has also illustrated two naturalist children’s books: Rocky Mountain Rabbit and Beneath the Mask. In April 2008, Sarah will show in the Colorado Governor’s Show. The A.R. Mitchell Museum special exhibit will include originals as well as giclée reproductions of Sarah’s art, many of which will be available for purchase.

Byron Nease Concert: Broadway Comes to Trinidad.
Baritone Byron Nease has concertized from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl with dozens of symphonies under illustrious conductors Skitch Henderson and Peter Nero. Honored to have sung at the White House as well as in the Senate Chambers, he has also performed high atop New York City at the world renowned Rainbow Room and sung in over 100 countries around the world.
“A feast of musical inspiration!”
Angela Lansbury
“If Brad Pitt’s Face could sing, it would have the voice of Byron Nease.”
Chicago Sun Times
Byron Nease is dazzling!”
Dramalogue, L.A.
“Robert Goulet has nothing on Byron Nease. You could almost hear the audience catch their breath when the spotlight hits him, and can he act! He thrills the crowd!” Los Angeles Times
“Byron Nease, whose two ballads stop the show is also a comic highlight.”
New York Times
“Here’s the sound of hope and glory captured in a baritone that soars to sweet heights and roars through the valleys in-between. When grace flows through a human voice, it comes out sounding like Byron Nease – and those in his audiences never, ever again, forget that they were there to hear it.”

Ever since 1907, when the first theatrical film From Mexico City to New York City was produced in the Trinidad area, the region has been fascinated by film culture. From mid-August through September, Trinidad becomes Hollywood East with two exhibits and a film festival in celebration of Colorado’s movie industry. Look for “Mitchell and the Movies,” a collection of Mitchell’s movie stills from the 1920s to the 1940s. This special festival will involve several Trinidad cultural organizations including the A.R. Mitchell Museum, the Trinidad Area Arts Council, and the Carnegie Library, as well as the cooperation of the Aurora History Museum and the Pikes Peak Library Association.

A journey into the roots of the American experience honors Will Rogers in words, theater, and song. "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts." Looking on the bright side of taxes, Rogers quipped, "Thank God we don't get as much government as we're payin' for."
Lance brings us history, heroes, and hilarity, a few rope tricks and a few tears, but mostly the irrepressible spirit of Will Rogers and hope for our troubled times. The beautiful historic Jamieson Building and the paintings of Rogers’s contemporary Arthur Roy Mitchell provide the perfect setting.
