Good News Friday!

Imagine! SmartHome resident and CORE/Labor Source participant Mandy reads one of her original stories at last year’s Fringe Festival. CORE/Labor Source will once again have a contingent performing at the festival on September 22.

In September and October, students taking classes through Imagine!’s CORE/Labor Source department will be showing their many artistic skills throughout the community.

For example, some CORE/Labor Source participants will be performing again this year at the Boulder International Fringe Festival on Sunday, September 22, at 3:00 pm. The performance will be at the Performing Arts Center on the main campus of Naropa University on Arapahoe Avenue in Boulder.

CORE/Labor Source will have postcard sized prints of CORE/Labor Source artist/consumers’ art work available to purchase at the performance. To help promote the event, CORE/Labor Source is organizing a flash mob on Saturday, September 14, at 12:45 pm on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall in front of the Courthouse.  I’m not sure if I’m breaking the rules of a flash mob by publicly inviting anyone who is interested to show up for the flash mob to participate, pass out flyers, or just watch, but I’m doing it anyway.

We also have some art shows running now or coming soon featuring works of art by CORE/Labor Source participants.

Throughout the month of September, you can check out some of these great original works of art at Ziggi’s Main Street Coffeehouse, 400 Main Street, in Longmont.

And throughout October, CORE/Labor Source artists will be displaying their work at Boulder Breadworks, 2644 Broadway Street, in Boulder.

There are many opportunities to experience the creativity of CORE/Labor Source artists in the next couple of months, so I urge you to take advantage of at least one of them. I’m sure you will have a good time.
