SUMMARY:Contemplative Memoir - May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Memoir \nInstructor: Peter Dunne \nStart Date: Wednesday\, May 6\, 2026 \nSchedule: Wednesdays\, May 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2026\, 5:30pm- 7:00pm \nCost: Member $45 / Friend & Non-Member $85 \nSkill Level: All Levels \nLocation: Foothills Art Center – Creative Campus\, 809 15th St   \nCourse Description: \nWriting a memoir may be the most challenging and consequential writing we will ever do. We think we know ourselves well enough to write about our lives\, but the effort seems daunting\, and its value dubious. After all\, how do we begin to choose which stories to tell from all the days and years? And who cares? First of all\, no life is ordinary. No life is without miracles and magic\, great loss and great love. And probably no life is more crucial for our children to understand then ours\, because they share more than our genetics\, they share our spiritual DNA. What made us who we are\, helps them see who they can become. In that sense\, we leave them with more than stories. We leave them with meaning and hope.  \n  \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org. \n***To receive the Member / Open Studio rate – please “login” the upper right- hand corner of this page with the email associated with your membership*** \n  \nPlease Note: Classes and workshops may be cancelled if enrollment minimums are not reached.

This workshop begins with gentle breathwork and a calming meditation to ease stress and bring you fully into the moment. Once grounded\, you’ll be guided step by step in crafting your own paper wildflower—a piece of art inspired by the beauty of nature. \nYou’ll learn how to sculpt individual flowers out of paper\, shaping petals and assembling blossoms step by step. Once your flowers are formed\, you’ll decorate them with colors and details that reflect your personal style\, making each piece truly your own. \nBy the end\, you’ll leave with more than a handmade flower—you’ll carry home a reminder to slow down\, nurture your creativity\, and stay rooted in the present. \n$10 materials fee \n  \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org. \n***To receive the Member / Open Studio rate – please “login” the upper right- hand corner of this page with the email associated with your membership*** \n  \nPlease Note: Classes and workshops may be cancelled if enrollment minimums are not reached.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Tom Sarmo
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Tom Sarmo \nDate: Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 \nTime:  2:00 – 3:00pm \nCost: Free \nLocation: Foothills Art Center – Astor House\, 1133 Arapahoe St \nDescription: \nEmbracing the Blessing and Breaking the Curse \nMy aim is/was to disintegrate the chains of “aiming to please” the real and imagined critical audience of my artworks\, and to neutralize my efforts to reach artistry through the quest for perfection.  \nFor me\, as well as many artists\, art has always been both a blessing and a curse; bringing the joy of creating along with the curse of striving for some unreachable pinnacle of precision/perfection. My belief is that true creativity is stifled by the curse\, and that the blessing is only found in releasing the imagination and letting the innate imagination flow without the restriction of fear. \nThe effort and task of two years was to try to let go and allow the pleasure of creation to flow in a relaxed manner. Silencing the internal voices–my own and the imagined or real voices of critics–took effort. It’s been a slow process; at times very successful and at others\, honestly still a task-in-process. \n-Tom Sarmo \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org.
