Cottonwood Center for the Arts, located at 427 East Colorado Ave., Colorado Springs, CO, is celebrating its 1 year anniversary of being at its new downtown location! The party, called JUBILEE, is Friday, March 26, 2010, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Our Stilts Walker, Jester, and Face Painter from our Mardi Gras Artwalk in January are returning to help us celebrate. We'll have refreshments in the artist's studios, live entertainment in the galleries, and a Silent Auction to raise funds for Cottonwood. This is also an art show that will showcase original artwork by the Cottonwood studio artists (no outside artists this time).
Each of the 80+ artists are asked to decorate a wooden palette, or heart- or star-shaped hat box to donate to the auction. I signed up to decorate two palettes and two boxes because I want to do all I can to help with this fundraiser. Bidding starts at $15 (small box) to $25 (palette), so this is a fantastic way to purchase original art, as well as help a great cause. You won't want to miss this exciting evening!
While you're there, come see me in Studio 212, and wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Cottonwood is a unique art center and the largest in the region: 36,000 square feet of galleries, working art studios, and home to the Cottonwood Artists' School where different classes are held throughout the year (spring classes now enrolling!). Whether your forte is sculpture, photography, watercolor, pottery, jewelry, fabric dyeing, pastels, drawing, printmaking, encaustic, acrylics, or oil painting--there's something here for everyone!
