January 30, 2019(1 event) Evenings of Engagement with A.J. Fullerton – Raised as an only child in the mountains of rural Western Colorado, A.J. was brought up surrounded by numerous styles of music ranging from; Rock, Folk, Bluegrass, Roots, & Blues. His biggest musical influences ended up being found in his parents' collection of Classic Rock & Blues records. Playing solo, and in local bands throughout his mid-teens, by age 19 he was playing full-time supporting his rapidly developing solo career. His style of playing falls somewhere between the finger picking & slide of Country Roots music, and the groove based uptempo sensibilities of Blues and Rock & Roll.

February 1, 2019(1 event) Local Artist, Greg Clifton, on display. N/A Greg Clifton February 1st-14th, 2019Underwater photography for Greg Clifton represents a convergence of two longstanding passions – diving and taking pictures. Greg is excited, and quite honored, to have the chance to showcase some of his favorite images stemming from dive trips over the past four years in Central America. The exhibit (his first!) will consist of 21 images taken from the waters of southern Belize, Bonaire, Roatan, Utila, and Cayman. Consisting largely of corals, tropical fish and some larger seafaring species (including the world’s largest fish – the whale shark), the images are shared to underscore the incredible beauty and rich diversity of coral ecosystems, while raising awareness of their fragile nature and declining status in recent years. |

Books 'n' Bites - “Everybody’s son” by Thrity Umrigar – Join us! this month for a fun and lively book club experience featuring "Everybody's Son" by bestselling, critically acclaimed author, Thrity Umrigar. Some of her previous works include "Bombay Time," "The World We Found," and "The Space Between Us." In "Everybody's Son," Umrigar explores issues of race, class, privilege and power, asking us, her readers, to weigh in on some rather agonizing moral questions. The novel follows two families—one black, one white. A sweltering heat wave in 1991 leaves young Anton to think beyond his year, escaping his apartment in the projects after surviving several days without air conditioning or parental supervision. When police find him, he is covered in blood. His mother, Juanita, on the other hand, is found in the home of a drug dealer. Anton is ultimately taken into child services, while his mother is taken into custody. On the flip-side, the story follows the Harvard-educated son of a US senator, Judge David Coleman. As the progeny of white privilege, David uses his power and connections to keep his new foster son, Anton. Following in his adoptive family's footsteps, eventually rising to power himself, Anton discovers the truth about his life and will have to come to terms with the moral complexities of the actions committed by those around him. |
