An African safari is more than a journey—it’s An African safari is more than a journey—it’s an immersion into rhythm, instinct, and the raw beauty of the natural world. 

Tomorrow, May 20th from 3–4 PM, join us at Foothills Art Center for an intimate happy hour with Denver-based photographer @Howard.Paul.5280, as he takes us behind the lens of his 2024 photographic expedition through Kenya. From the sweeping plains of the Masai Mara to the elephant-laden landscapes of Amboseli, Howard’s images capture the pulse of East Africa’s wildlife with reverence and precision. He’ll share the stories behind the shots, offer practical advice for aspiring safari-goers. This is a unique opportunity to see the wild through the eyes of someone who’s been there. #FAC #FoothillsArtCenter #GoldenStArt #Photography #TravelPhotography #Safari #GoldenCO #Golden #ThingsToDoInGolden
