Breckenridge Creative Arts Winter 2015-16 Happenings

BRECKENRIDGE CREATIVE ARTSWINTER 2015–16 HAPPENINGS

breckcreate.org

Through art, Breckenridge expresses itself as a town like no other, where the simple charms of our surroundings connect the most unlikely of neighbors: hunters to hippies, liberals to libertarians, beer drinkers to cosmic thinkers. Here, everyone has a voice they are encouraged to express. And the melody they create is anything but monotone.

BreckCreate drives home the importance of the arts in establishing Breckenridge’s identity. It motivates the sharing of fresh perspectives; it entices those from outside the local community to engage Breckenridge as a creative destination. It promises an evolving experience that reinvigorates the soul with every return visit.

BRECKENRIDGE CREATIVE ARTS | BRECKCREATE

The Breckenridge Arts District is the region’s newest epicenter of creativity, bringing together studios, galleries, performance spaces, historic landmarks, public art, restaurants, cafés, and other creative businesses that animate and populate a vibrant cultural corridor in downtown Breckenridge.

The Arts District’s core attraction is a new multi-facility arts campus that hosts workshops, exhibits, artists-in-residence, and a variety of other activities for locals and visitors alike. With a focus on educational and experiential enrichment, programs include classes in several media such as textiles, ceramics, metalwork, painting, and more. Complete with decorative plazas and sculpture gardens, the Arts District campus serves as a community gathering place and a catalyst for creative expression in Breckenridge.

Visit breckcreate.org for more information. 24-hour pre-registration required for workshops. All materials included unless otherwise noted.

Beauty. Christine was an instructor

BREW: IDEAS + CREATION LABOLD MASONIC HALL | THU, JAN 21, 6-9PM Presented by Breckenridge Creative Arts breckcreate.org

Topic: Nature as Inspiration. Curated by local landscape

architect Mary Hart, this salon explores the intersection

of design, innovation, creativity and biomimicry.

BREW is salon series that provides thought-provoking

discussion for and among creative professionals with

varied topics designed to engage and inspire. Part party, part

conversation, the series is curated by local guest artists

and rotates quarterly at different creative spaces in

downtown Breckenridge.

When Martha was 18 years old she

worked at the Chinese Laundry in

Breckenridge selling Indian jewelry,

which started her interest and career

in metalsmithing.

Martha graduated with honors from

Rochester Institute of Technology,

School for the American Craftsman

with a Bachelor of Arts Degree,

majoring in Metalsmithing, and

studying under Gary Griffin and Hans

Christensen. Martha worked for John

Atencio as his lead Goldsmith and

Jeweler where she made beautiful

gold and diamond custom jewelry. The

years spent working for John Atencio

allowed Martha to refine her ability to

create pieces that juxtaposed strong

yet delicate lines with a modern flair.

FEB 19-21 BANDSWAP

BANDSWAPA COLORADO MUSIC CONVERGENCEFEB 19-21 | DOWNTOWN BRECKENRIDGE Presented by Breckenridge Creative Arts breckcreate.org

A weekend gathering and showcase for independent

artists, bands and industry professionals from the Colorado

music scene. Featuring career development workshops,

mentoring sessions, networking events and performance

opportunities. Produced in partnership with SpokesBUZZ.

Colorado native, Christian Tai Leach, was inspired by his uncle Danny Valdes, an artist in Santa Fe, who suggested Tai paint one of his old snowboards. Since that first snowboard painting in 2000, Tai has painted over 200 snowboards.

Today, Tai paints on snowboards, skateboards, and other recycled materials, giving them new life as art. Though self-taught, Tai has developed a masterful use of color and the ability to create movement and energy in his work. His depictions of Colorado mountains, wildlife, urban cityscapes, and women exhibit his uniquely raw style. In his free time, Tai is passionate about snowboarding, four-wheeling, and skateboarding. He currently lives in Dillon, Colorado.
