7/6 – Rocky Mountain Jewgrass
Rocky Mountain Jewgrass returns to Shady Grove with their unique blend of bluegrass styling with lyrics that come from all things Jewish. Great stage presence and a heavy dose of humor combine with beautiful harmonies and skilled musicianship to produce a unique sound and performance on today’s Jewish and bluegrass music scenes. With a little “picklin’ and grinning”, and a “high lonesome kvetch,” Rocky MountainJewgrass is foot stompin’ fun. (But be careful you shouldn’t hurt yourself.)

Bye Bye Blue
2016-07-07 10:00 - 19:00 | Default Theme
For six decades, Clyfford Still’s work was infrequently exhibited in this country and very seldom seen outside the U.S. Now, thanks to Abstract Expressionism—the first major international exhibition on abstract expressionism since 1959, coming to London’s Royal Academy of Art and Spain’s Guggenheim Bilbao—nine of Still’s most iconic works from Denver’s collection will be on view to millions from the fall of 2016 until the summer of 2017.
In order to be included in this great adventure, PH-247 of 1951, a Clyfford Still Museum fan favorite affectionately known as “Big Blue,” will come down from the Museum’s walls for the first time ever. Join the museum for a celebration of blue as we say “bon voyage” on Thursday, July 7.

Dress in all blue and be admitted for just $1 all day!
Visit our all-day creation station to make your own ode to blue.
At 12:30 p.m., enjoy a lunchtime talk with chief conservator James Squires, who will describe preparing Big Blue and other priceless works for their journey overseas.
At 1:30 p.m., enjoy light refreshments in the Museum’s Anschutz Foundation Atrium.
At 3 p.m., enjoy an afternoon talk about the color blue led by a Museum gallery guide.
At 4 p.m., join us for another round of light refreshments.
The Museum closes at 5 p.m. and we bid farewell to Big Blue until summer 2017!

7/13 – Harry Tuft
Harry Tuft grew up singing and playing a series of instruments – from the piano to the clarinet, ukulele, baritone uke, and, in college, a six-string guitar.
Philadelphia’s lively folk scene provided the setting for Harry’s first ventures into public singing. From there, friendships with Dick Weissman and Roger Abrahams fostered a growing interest in Anglo-American folk music.
In 1962, Harry opened the Denver Folklore Center. Putting his energies into the store over the years, Harry has found time for teaching and occasional singing, as time allows. In his first album, “Across the Blue Mountains,” Harry was ably joined by old friends Dick Weissman, Jay Ungar, Ed Trickett, Artie Traum and Laraine Grady Traum. His 2011 album, “Harry Tuft & Friends: Treasures Untold,” is now available.

IMAGINE 2020 Speaker Series: Artist As... Citizen, Neighbor, Change Agent
2016-07-21 15:00 - 17:00 | Studio Loft at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 908 14th St, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
Artists are painters, filmmakers, dancers, writers, and musicians. But can they also be citizens, neighbors, and change agents? Would the world be a better place if we tapped artists as natural community assets who can help create real change in neighborhoods? The Laundromat Project (The LP) deeply believes so. By investing in artists, they amplify the creativity that already exists within communities while building community networks, solving problems, and enhancing a local sense of ownership. Every day, The LP grapples with both the power and the challenges of being a good and artful citizen, neighbor, and catalyst for change within diverse settings. Kemi Ilesanmi, Executive Director of The LP, will examine this and more as she explores how an arts organization may intentionally help to create a community of neighbors, artists included.
The Laundromat Project (The LP) achieves its mission by bringing socially relevant and socially engaged arts programming to laundromats and other everyday community spaces in order to reach as many of their neighbors as possible.

This month’s presenters include:

Becky Nevin:
Becky Nevin is a graduate fellow in the astrophysics and planetary science department at the University of Colorado Boulder. She spends her time searching for galaxies that have more than one black hole. When she’s not learning about black holes, you can find her skiing or walking around in the mountains or playing frisbee in the lowlands, all the while drinking beer.
Talk:
“It came from space: The solar system’s ultimate weapon”-Learn all about the infamous asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and left us without pet T-Rex’s, Brontosaurs cars, and Pterodactyl delivery services.
Thomas Rogers:
Thomas Rogers is a CU Astrophysics grad student, graduating this summer. For his thesis project, Thomas designed and built a soft X-ray spectrograph which was launched on a suborbital sounding rocket in May, 2015. Thomas named the instrument the Off-plane Grating Rocket for Extended Source Spectroscopy (OGRESS). OGRESS was designed to observe diffuse extended sources such as nearby supernova remnants, which can be several degrees across on the sky. After his graduation, Thomas will be designing and building spacecraft as a Systems Engineer at Ball Aerospace.
Topic:
Thomas will talk about sounding rockets, including a bit of their history, what they’re used for, and why they’re important for science and technology development.
Baylee Bordwell
Baylee Bordwell is a graduate student in the astrophysics and planetary science department at the University of Colorado Boulder. She spends her time exploring how fluid motion effects chemical reactions in the atmospheres of gas giant planets. When escape from her cubicle is possible, she runs to the hills (literally) to backpack and climb.
Talk:
“Would you like to know more?” – An interactive newscast from an alternate universe where the human race is engaged in an intragalactic war against an insectoid menace known colloquially as “bugs”. Using our modern knowledge of planets (and exoplanets), we can learn quite a lot about the bugs themselves, their homeworld, and what intragalactic war would be like…..did you just say Intergalactic War!?
