    ========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Salida Colorado is a town of 5000 at the headwaters of the Arkansas. It has a long history of involvement with the arts. 2014 will be the 22 year of the Artwalk. When I chaired it 2 years ago, we had more than 200 artists exhibiting in more than 50 venues. We drew people to the area from a dozen states. There are several performing arts groups, painters, musicians, metalworkers, jewelers, a circus, fiber artists. The town was the first named as a Cultural Center in Colorado in 2012. In the summer, the famous Aspen Art Series comes over the pass to Salida and performs in the Steam Plant - a facility rescued by prominent citizens thirty some years ago. It was the steam generating plant for the town in the early 1900s and now has a theater, sculpture garden and 2 galleries as part of the facility. The Denver Symphony performed 4 times last year in Salida. The town also has 4 breweries, a distillery and an active community of home brewers. I became aware of Salida 17 years ago when the Colorado leendert meeshuis Metalsmithing Association (CoMA) held their first conference at the Steam Plant. The conference has been held in Salida ever since. While Colorado is a small population state, and CoMA isn't a huge organization -, the conference draws attendees from all over the world, probably because the presenters are world class. We have had Michael Zobel, Bernd Munsteiner, Albert Paley, Harold O'Connor, Tom Herman, Michael Good.... What is interesting is that many of the presenters come back year after year. They really like the town, its energy. It is a terrific arts community, as well as rafting, cycling, skiing, hiking. Michael leendert meeshuis Boyd started leendert meeshuis the Culture Clash gallery in Salida - and it is still going strong. Go see for yourself what the place is about. http://www.ganoksin.com/gnkurl/ep810o Judy Hoch
