Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Rediscovering, work by Shanah Leaf for the month of January.
Her show, The Rediscovering deals with the remembering and reclaiming of things that have been forgotten within one’s self. There is a constant rediscovering we must do within ourselves as we evolve and grow. We rediscover our power, purpose, and inner voice. The mixed media visuals and minority representation in her work deals with human identity and becoming.
We invite you to come experience this installation and enjoy two floors of open studios + galleries this First Friday from 5-8 pm, and all month during normal business hours.
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present Hammered, the work of Bret Christopher Poplos for the month of January.
Bret’s process focuses on the desire to create what is imagined, and what is beyond the expected. Several recurring subjects can be recognized, such as references to popular culture and media. Using provocative repetition, this becomes an investigation into the process of the viewers’ expectations.
The works produced are characterized by everyday objects and people in an atmosphere of abstraction in which recognition plays an important role. This allows Bret to focus on the idea of “imagined space” and more specifically on spaces where anyone or anything can be ambiguous or literal at any moment. The evolution of his process is highlighted by the materials used in the creation, turning everyday things into extraordinary ideas.

How old is beer, and how do we know the peoples of the ancient Near East, Egypt, the Aegean, and Roman worlds consumed it? This CU on the Weekend presentation by CU Boulder Lecturer and Beer Archaeologist Travis Rupp will examine the earliest archaeological evidence of beer and brewing. The lecture will also analyze ancient references and labels for beer provided by various Mesopotamian, Biblical, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman sources in order to define what beer was in antiquity. Rupp will trace the etymology of these terms to the Late Roman period when political and religious institutions used beer and brewing terminology to define social classes, nationalities, and religious populations on the fringes of Roman dominion. Lastly, the lecture will explore how the very terms used to damn and scrutinize beer brewing and drinking populations were used in later periods of European history and still shape the terms and definitions we use for beer today.
