Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a juried exhibition for the month of May featuring works in response to an open call to the public: “Dreamscapes” Human beings spend roughly 33% of their lives sleeping, which equates to around 26 years. Accounting for the average time spent falling asleep, you will spend 33 years of your life in bed. I have dreamt my entire life about a farmhouse on the plains – one I have never seen before. I have dreamt my entire life about a mountain pass at sunset that doesn’t exist, it runs alongside a cold river. I dream of impossible and terrifying storms in the sky, the smell of a pine forest, water, highways. I dream in faded blues and yellows. What do you dream, what have you seen, and what pieces of it do you carry with you? For this call we asked artists to analyze and celebrate our unconscious lives. The worn-out edges of visions we grasp at every morning, and the colors and shapes you sort through when explaining them. Non-representational and representational works were accepted for this call. Entries of all mediums and styles were accepted.

Where I Learned to Look: Art from the Yard celebrates the foundational role of yards in shaping contemporary art in America. Building upon existing scholarship on Yard Art, artwork created to exist in the transitional space between the home and wider world, artist and art historian Josh T Franco examines the lineage of this robust American art form. Featuring over 30 works, the exhibition spotlights both community and academically taught artists over the past five decades including David Driskell, vanessa german, Donald Judd, and Finnegan Shannon, revealing connections across communities in creative world-building with what is available. Where I Learned to Look: Art from the Yard was originally produced by the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania. The exhibition was made possible by the Katherine and Keith L. Sachs Guest Curator Program, and is supported at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College by the Catharine and Bart Holaday Endowment for Interactive Art. Where I Learned to Look: Art from the Yard is curated by artist and art historian Josh T Franco in partnership with Katja Rivera, Curator of Contemporary Art. The curatorial concept was developed by artist and art historian Josh T Franco and Hallie Ringle, Daniel and Brett Sundheim, Chief Curator for the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania.

From the museum’s earliest days, gifts of art have shaped this institution and the permanent collection it stewards. More than half of the collection arrived through the generosity of artists, donors, and others who gifted important works or funds that have made key purchases possible. These acts of giving didn’t just add works; they defined the collection’s scope and vision. Alice Bemis Taylor’s foundational gift of art from the Southwest grounded the FAC in this region. Meredith Sage Hare’s donation of American modernist paintings and sculptures set sights on the avant-garde. Subsequent gifts have continued this dual commitment—grounded in the Southwest, attentive to what’s new—while also broadening the FAC’s collecting scope. This exhibition brings together gifts from across the museum’s ninety-year history, from foundational donations to recent acquisitions that continue shaping the collection today.

In “Tangible”, Lisa Fabiano transforms personal memories and experiences into tangible form through texture and color – giving material dimension to the invisible. “The Space of Unknowing” by Patricia Coughlin creates abstract paintings which are propelled by instinct and compulsion, play and experimentation. She begins with a mark, a color, or a piece of collage – having no idea where it will go. Curiosity and the urge to rebel against convention and expectation fuel her process. In “Flora”, Kelsey Sampsel traces a journey through grief back into color, using botanical forms to honor resilience and the cyclical nature of life. Join us for the opening night of all three shows, where you can meet the artists in person, spend time viewing their work, and be part of our creative community.

Featured in our gray gallery we have Shasta Laue! Shasta Laue is an artist who doesn’t like to speak in 3rd person so this is difficult af. Her interest in the arts comes from being raised by a wonderful artist who she calls mom. After getting a fancy piece of paper from UCCS in Art History, she worked in an art gallery where the real lessons of the art world began. Since then Shasta has just been making art, enjoying art, and most of all meeting the people in this world who are just as strange and beautiful as the art they create. That’s enough about her though, hope you enjoy her first solo show -Shasta Laue from ‘Pieces of Me’ Featured in our hall gallery we have Jess Lewis! “My name is Jess and I am a multi medium artist. I mainly paint and crochet but I also use pens, graphite, markers, and colored pencils. I create abstract sceneries full of bright bold colors with wild shapes and surreal portraits that capture the different aspects of the human body in a fun and unusual way. Making art is a way for me to hold onto the joys of being weird in a world that constantly strips us of our individuality.” -Jess Lewis on ‘Human Made Art’.

The Friends House Concert Series is excited to welcome back the Jeremy Facknitz band, the FULL band, for “Wildcards.” Please join us up on the hill for an evening with the full Jeremy Facknitz 6-piece band, which will rock your socks! We plan to host this concert on our outdoor back patio (weather permitting); otherwise, we will enjoy the music in the living room. Jeremy Facknitz’s newest music “Wildcards” is a collection of 11 new songs that are all singles, not necessarily fitting together as a cohesive album. Jeremy recorded the songs with three different producers and various musicians, including Big Wood (his 3-piece string section), Ableton producer and saxophonist Ricky Sweum, and the 6-piece Jeremy Facknitz Band. Read more about the album here. Facknitz describes his music as “indie rock with a made-for-the-theatre twist. I’m a singer-songwriter, but I’m not 3 chords and the truth – I’m 8 to 15 chords and poetic cynicism. Less like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt – more like Elvis Costello and Lin Manuel Miranda.” “This is all far above the ordinary... A good time is guaranteed for all.“ – John Apice, Americana Highways You will not want to miss this event!
