With mediums ranging from metalsmithing and 3D printing to printmaking and photography\, the Go West exhibition features a myriad of powerful artworks that carve out room for new narratives to emerge in the ongoing legacy of the American West. \nThe panel will dive into the artists’ creative processes\, the significance of their work\, and their engagement with themes central to Go West. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A session where the audience can interact with the artists and gain deeper insight into their practices. \nThe event will take place amidst the beautiful artwork in the McMahon Gallery\, providing a perfect setting for reflection and conversation.

SUMMARY:Slay the Runway- Designing Safe Spaces for Self Expression
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS  \nSlay the Runway is a Firehouse Art Center Fashion Design program offered at no cost to LGBTQIA+ youth and Youth allies to support self expression. Our goal is to be a safe space for teens to explore their own true style in a Gender Expansive and supportive community. \nWith cohorts in Longmont and Boulder\, instructors start with simple projects that improve student sewing and design skills. As confidence builds\, students are challenged to develop their own self identity as they create an outfit for the showcase. At the fashion show\, students unveil something they’ve created in their style and voice while surrounded by a community sharing their life experience. In addition to garment construction and design\, participants will work with make-up artists and choreographers to refine their debuts. While there are fashion camps and sewing classes in the area\, no other local offerings address the issue of safe spaces for gender-expansive youth with this depth of creativity\, and it is the only program that is no cost to participants. \nSlay the Runway’s goal is to create an affirming and accessible space where creativity\, expression\, and positive self-image are celebrated. Involving parents\, youths\, artists\, the LGBTQIA+ community and educators\, we strive to provide access to peer connection\, parent education\, and safe spaces. \nThis program is made possible by SCFD\, the City of Longmont\, OASOS\, CU Boulder\, your donations\, and the never ending enthusiasm and passion of the Slay Team!

SUMMARY:Poetry as Inspiration Workshop: Transforming Words into Visual Art
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS \nWords give rise to worlds… \nJoin us for an immersive and exploratory workshop that bridges the power of poetry and visual expression.
