| 2010 Vision : The Rites of Spring
The Second Annual Green is the New Black Fashion Extravaganza honors the rites of spring and features fashion that sparks the imagination, created from recycled and sustainable materials. Designers and artists, locally and globally, along with Valley residents, come together to create a dynamic, alluring and highly entertaining event, taking place March 20th, the first day of spring.
The return of life, the dawn of spring, gives us cause to celebrate and reflect. Rhythms of the earth and of life come forward with renewed vigor, kindling a fresh and hopeful spirit. It is a time of rebirth, a time for joy and merriment—and a signal for all living things to return to the earth and to flourish. We are reminded to heed ancient ways and renew our connection with the earth and with each other. This perfect measure of day and night on the vernal equinox guides our search for balance at a time when the earth longs for it most. Click on title for Designer guidelines.

| Finally, The CCAH Center for the Arts at The Third Street Center will soon be a reality. This is a dream come true. Imagine a sculpture garden with benches where you can sit and contemplate Mount Sopris or a dedicated classroom vibrant with classes for young and old throughout the day or a performance space where people gather for music and theater..the possibilities are endless. CCAH will have 2,100 square feet of space, over double what we have now. Add this to the over 30,000 square feet of nonprofit space through the Third Street Center and this community will have ample space to meet so many needs. In order to make this dream a reality CCAH needs to raise $150,000 by March. Click above to find out how you can help. |

| At the CCAH Gallery at 645 Main Street, opening on February 5th, First Friday, artwork by dasa bausova and Ginny Beesley will be on display. dasa bausova's contemporary paintings are comprised of mixed media on canvas and panels. bausova uses acrylics, oils, various drawing materials, anything from Sharpies to tire markers as well as traditional materials such as conte crayon, graphite and pastels. The work incorporates text from music lyrics, symbolic images and abstract elements all aiming to ponder the mysterious and chaotic workings of the mind. Ginny Beesley's work is a response to the natural beauty that surrounds us. From the smoothness of rock polished by water to the delicacy of a flower, Nature is her greatest inspiration. Many of Ginny's pieces start the same, as simple thrown round forms. It is then tapped, added to and taken away from to create cups, bowls and vases.
