COLORADO ARTS CONNECTION

Arts News Editor and Publisher Paul Saunders at artsnews@lpbroadband.net
THANKS!
Editor's Note:
Greetings,
With
this edition of the CAC Arts News there is something new. I have taken over
this newsletter from the Colorado Arts Consortium. It will be the same
newsletter featuring many of the art activities that I cull from all of the
many press releases each week. It is now the COLORADO ARTS CONNECTION. The
newsletter from issue one has always been a way to connect all the various arts
events and news to give you a small overview of what goes on in Colorado and
the "world". That is an ambitious concept to be sure and I hope the
effort to create the newsletter is worth while to you. I hope there is
something for everyone.
I
received a very nice e-mail last Wednesday from a very nice lady (D):
"What
is of great value is the newsletter that you put together. I have made
good contacts from one out of three of them. That's a good record.
Or I have received ideas that are fresh or that I can adapt. That is
rewarding and that is 90 out 0f 100 of the newsletters. So if you can keep
that going give or take a move here or there, that is a great service."
Thank
you! I will try to improve this newsletter and I need all the great press
releases sent to the new e-mail address as the paulsaunders@estesvalley.net
address will no longer be valid in a few weeks. We bought a house in Loveland
that meant a change of e-mail address, telephone numbers etc. etc.
We
haven't left our commitments in Estes Park. I am still Station Manager and
program producer for the Low Power FM station KREV 104.7 FM, have architectural
clients and play the tuba in the Village Band and the Riverside Ramblers
Dixieland Jazz Band and my wife is happy serving the public that come to the
High Country Amish Quilt store - all in Estes Park. I'm connected to the arts in
Estes Park and wouldn't give that up either. It was time to buy a house at the
right (our affordable) price. It was time to move the newsletter to a private
effort as the Consortium searches for a viable mission with Paul Friorino.

ASKING YOU TO ACT NOW!
Arts
for Colorado is sponsoring an open informational regarding the implications of Referendums
C & D.
When: August 15, 2005
When: 5:00 PM
Where: Ricketson Theatre in the Denver Performing Arts
Complex.
What: Full explanation of the proposed temporary
deferment of the TABOR rebates and the actions you and your organization can
take to help pass C&D.
Come to this informational meeting and
learn how C & D will affect Colorado and become an advocate to recruit
support from your constituencies to ensure that C & D pass in
November. We would hope that in addition to your attendance, you will
bring your board chair or other key board leader. This matter deserves
the serious attention of organizational leadership.
For
arts and cultural communities,
Referendums C & D are Cultural Dynamite. If C & D pass, arts education
and community organizations will have the first chance in four years of seeing
state support for the arts grow. Budget pressures will be relieved, and
our state leaders will have room to address the enormous demands Colorado's
growth have put on programs like transportation, education and health
care.
Few
times in recent Colorado history has the cultural community faced such a
clear-cut choice. Please come to this informational meeting to support
arts and culture in our communities.

MECIA
TICKETS: Please contact us for complimentary media tickets!
Fort Collins -OpenStage Theatre & Company presents An Ideal Husband, written by Oscar Wilde and directed by guest
artist Devora Millman. A dazzling blend of farce and morality by one of the
greatest playwrights of the nineteenth century, An Ideal Husband is a scintillating, satirical expose of politics and ethics. Wilde
mixes marriage, politics, morals and ambition with Victorian London society
pages in a brilliant comedy of manners.
An Ideal Husband sets loose
blackmail schemes, marriage hunts and political quagmires-all in twenty-four
hours.
After
attending the wildly successful 1895 London premiere of An Ideal Husband, George Bernard Shaw wrote, "Mr. Wilde to
me is our only serious playwright. He plays with everything: with wit, with
philosophy, with drama, with actors, with audience, with the whole
theatre." Deliciously acerbic, delectable and biting, Wilde's witty
concoction asks whether there is a politician, or even a person, who is truly
morally incorrupt.
An
Ideal Husband performs from
August 20 through September 17, 2005 on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m.
with one Thursday performance on September 15 at 7:30 p.m. and two Sunday
matinees on September 4 and 11 at 2:00 p.m. Performances are at the
Lincoln Center, 417 W. Magnolia St., Fort Collins, Colorado 80521.
FATT Friday - Friday At The Theatre - is
a new offering for the 2005-2006 season that presents a unique event on the
Friday following opening night for each season production. All tickets are $10
and audience members of legal drinking age will receive a free Fat Tire Beer
during intermission. FATT Friday is sponsored by New Belgium Brewing. The FATT
Friday performance for An
Ideal Husband is on August 26 at
8:00 p.m.
A free performance of An Ideal Husband is available for students and educators on
Thursday, August 18, at 7:30 p.m. Call 970-484-5237 for more information and to
make reservations.
Season
