Tonight, you can check out Imagine!’s CORE/Labor Source department ’s free Spring Art Show & Live Performance. Performers will be presenting original material developed in classes at the CORE day program, including dance, music, theatre, and live reading. A reception begins at 5:30 p.m., with art pieces on display and the opportunity to meet some of the Imagine! artists and performers. The performance starts at 7:00 p.m. The event is taking place at the Dairy Center for the Arts, 2590 Walnut St., in Boulder. Even if you can’t make the performance, you can still check out fantastic works of art created by CORE/Labor Source artists – the art gallery show runs through Friday, June 15 at the Dairy Center.
On Friday, June 8, artists participating in Imagine! CORE/Labor Source department art classes will be creating original works of art at a VSA Colorado Accessible Arts Festival. VSA Colorado is part of an international organization founded by Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith in 1974 and earlier known as Very Special Arts. It is an inclusive nonprofit organization that engages the community by opening doors to creative and educational opportunities for people with disabilities to access and experience the arts. The cool thing about this art project is that the canvas will be on the floor, and individuals who use wheelchairs for mobility will be able to use their chairs to paint! This is the first time this free program has been offered in Boulder County. The event will take place at Via Mobility Service’s Lower Terrace/Parking Lot. Via is located at 2855 N. 63rd Street in Boulder between Valmont Road and Arapahoe Avenue. Imagine! artists will be creating their work between 1-2 PM, and the entire show runs from 1-5 PM.
And on June 15, Imagine! will be the featured non-profit at the Millennium Harvest House Hotel Friday Afternoon Club (FAC). This Rockin’ The Gardens concert, featuring the band “Soul School,” will take place from 5:30 - 9:30 PM. This is the fourth year that the Millennium has invited Imagine! to participate in the FAC. Artists/consumers from Imagine! will be on hand, and attendees of the FAC will have opportunities to learn about Imagine! and are welcome to draw and paint with Imagine! artists. This is a very family-friendly event and a great opportunity to observe the work of the artists and to support the Millennium, a longtime donor to Imagine! and an employer of people with developmental disabilities. The Millennium is located at 1345 28th Street, behind the Safeway store on the southwest corner of Arapahoe and 28th Streets.
