SUMMARY:Set the Table: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nJoin us for an evening of conversation inside Set the Table: The Art of Nourishment\, a multi-gallery exhibition exploring the table as a site of connection\, culture\, and exchange. \nThis artist talk brings together participating artists for an intimate discussion on the ideas\, materials\, and processes behind their work.

Through installation\, photography\, sculpture\, and interdisciplinary practices\, the exhibition considers how shared meals carry histories\, shape identities\, and reflect our relationships to land\, labor\, and one another.

SUMMARY:13 Fires | June 24 - 26
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nA powerful new community theater production\, 13 Fires\, will bring the story of one of America’s great Black cultural districts to the stage in Boulder this season in celebration of Juneteenth. The play tells the story of Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis—once a thriving Black neighborhood filled with jazz clubs\, Black-owned businesses and the pioneering entrepreneur Madam C. J. Walker\, and legendary performers such as Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. \nThen the neighborhood was almost completely wiped out. \n13 Fires explores how Indiana Avenue was dismantled during the expansion of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis\, when property acquisitions\, eminent domain threats\, redlining\, and rising taxes forced families out of the homes and community they had built. Through intimate storytelling and memories of the Avenue’s golden era\, the play confronts the human cost of development and displacement. \nWhile the story unfolds in Indianapolis\, the production speaks directly to ongoing conversations about housing\, belonging\, and community change in Boulder and across Colorado. \nPresented during the Juneteenth season\, 13 Fires is a moving reflection on culture\, displacement\, and the enduring spirit of a people determined to keep their stories alive.

SUMMARY:Set the Table: Immersive Dinner & Art Retreat
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nThe Set the Table exhibition brings together food\, art\, home\, and community\, exploring how the table serves as a universal locus for culture\, environment\, and the many ways we come together over food. \nThe Dairy Arts Center brings this exhibition to life with a very special event: Set the Table: Immersive Dinner and Art Retreat. On July 22\, guests are invited to an intimate farm-to-table dinner surrounded by the artworks of Set the Table\, where dining becomes a creative\, multi-sensory experience. \nThe evening will feature a beautifully crafted five-course meal by Forage Sisters\, a local\, women-owned farm-to-table catering company. Their menu offers a culinary journey through Colorado’s diverse peoples\, places\, and histories\, with each dish rooted in seasonal ingredients\, sustainable practices\, and the rich narratives embedded in the region’s foodways. \nThroughout the evening\, Boulder-based artist and founder of Schoolhouse Studios\, Kristen Abbott will guide guests through a mini artist retreat. Through a series of hands-on\, creative activities woven into the rhythm of the meal\, participants are invited to reflect\, play\, and embrace Abbott’s philosophy of “joyful experimentation.” \nThe tablescape itself is part of the experience—a feast for the senses that blurs the boundaries between installation\, performance\, and communal dining. An evening where the act of gathering becomes an artwork in itself. \nIncludes a five-course dinner\, one drink\, and all artist-led activities and materials. Bar will be available. \nMenu to be announced soon. Capacity is limited to 40 guests—reserve your spot for this special one-night experience. \nAbout Set the Table Exhibition:\nThe Set the Table exhibition\, at the Dairy Arts Center from the 15th of May to the 2nd of August\, explores the table as a site of connection—where food\, art\, and community intersect. Bringing together artists working across disciplines\, the exhibition considers how the table is a locus point of culture\, and how shared meals carry histories\, shape identities\, and reflect our relationships to the environment\, heritage\, and one another. \nAbout Forage Sisters:\nForage Sisters is a full service event and farm-to-table catering company\, born between two best friends whose passion lies in bringing people together through intentional food and thoughtful events. \nAbout Kristen Abbott:\nKristen Abbott is a mixed media painter and textile artist based in Boulder\, Colorado. Her practice moves between abstract painting and cyanotype textiles\, shaped through an experimental\, process-driven approach. \nIn her cyanotype work\, sunlight acts as both collaborator and catalyst\, imprinting organic forms onto hand-coated fabrics such as linen\, cotton\, and silk. Abbott often reworks these surfaces with additional materials\, building layered compositions that shift with the viewer’s perspective and gradually reveal new details over time. \nGuided by a philosophy of “joyful experimentation\,” her work embraces unpredictability and reflects an intuitive dialogue with place\, light\, and material—inviting viewers into quiet moments of reflection and discovery.

SUMMARY:Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC): Witch
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nThe devil arrives in a small village to recruit souls\, and business has never been better. Everyone is scrambling to bargain for something. Love\, riches\, and personal validation top the list. \nBut one woman is having none of it\, and she happens to be the woman whom everyone thinks is the town witch. \nJen Silverman’s reworking of the 1621 drama\, The Witch of Edmonton\, is wickedly funny\, surprisingly moving and dangerously entertaining. \nThe play poses the question\, “How much is a soul worth in a world where hope is increasingly hard to come by?” \n

SUMMARY:Off the Page Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:On View Aug 14 – Nov 1 | Opening Reception: Aug 14\, 5 – 8 \nThis group exhibition explores how contemporary artists engage with the written word\, literature\, media\, and storytelling\, examining language as both subject and material. Through practices spanning photography\, sculpture\, installation\, and mixed media\, the exhibition asks: What does the word mean today\, and how are artists using language as a creative tool\, a source of inspiration\, or a physical presence within their work? \nThe exhibition considers the power of words to shape identity\, transmit knowledge\, and build community\, while also reflecting on the evolving role of language in a media-saturated world. It highlights the importance of literature\, freedom of expression\, and storytelling as vital forces that connect people across generations\, cultures\, and backgrounds. \nAccompanying the exhibition is a rich slate of educational and public programming\, developed in partnership with local libraries\, the school district\, and the University of Colorado. Programming will include author talks\, workshops\, and collaborative initiatives with nonprofit organizations focused on literacy and reading\, creating multiple entry points for audiences of all ages to engage with language\, ideas\, and creative expression. \nParticipating artists: Mariel Reed\, Nathan Storey Freeman\, Bug\, Josh Hughes\, Dagny Chika\, Dawn Siebel\, Leona Lazar\, Sarah Tenney\, Samuel Austin\, Lisa Berley\, Jacqueline Moulton\, Austin Baskett\, and Russell Schnell.

SUMMARY:Motus Theater Presents: No Contract by Kirsten Wilson
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n \n“No Contract” is a one-woman show exploring a mother’s request not to endure dementia. It asks: “is there a way to have dementia without tragedy\, when ‘to be or not to be’ is always the question?” \nCreated by Kirsten Wilson in honor of her mother and loved ones everywhere\, experiencing or caring for people with dementia. \n“No Contract” is a one-woman show by Kirsten Wilson about her mother’s dementia –Marie Wilson\, founder of ‘Take Our Daughters to Work Day\,’ LGBTQ+ leader\, author\, and equity-based feminist. \nThe dramatic ‘contract’ at the heart of this two-act performance is her mother’s request to be killed if she loses her mind. The production blends autobiographical storytelling\, “Hamlet\,” “King Lear\,” karaoke\, and audience engagement to explore the complex tension between choosing life and death—the “to be and not to be” of assisted suicide after a dementia diagnosis. \nIn “No Contract\,” Wilson uses humor & heart to prevent both the performance & her mother’s life from becoming a Lear-like tragedy. As Wilson says in Act One\, “My mother’s life was always supposed to be a romantic comedy\, a 1950’s musical\, except with lesbians dancing in the street. I will not let it turn toward tragedy.” \n*Note Wednesday\, 9/30/26 is a show for immunocompromised people. This show provides the following: Audience capacity is at 30% to provide space for two empty seats between audience members. KN95 masks must be worn by performers and audience members. Air filtration used. 6 feet of space between performers and front row. 6pm performance. See separate Dairy ticketing page to signup. \n**Note Saturday\, 10/3/26 is an all-day workshop and performance: \nSaturday\, Oct. 3rd\, “No Contract” Dementia\, Reflection and Writing Workshop with Kirsten Wilson. Take a day-long deep dive into the impact of caring for family members with dementia or negotiating your own fears of losing your mind with celebrated facilitator and artist Kirsten Wilson. This is an opportunity to gather in community to use the performance to launch your own reflections and writings on the impact of dementia and fears associated with aging. The morning will begin with a performance of Act I\, followed by personal reflections\, writing and discussion on dementia. After a shared lunch within small reflections groups\, a performance of Act II\, with a facilitated dialogue\, writing exercises and reflections. No skill as a writer necessary\, just willingness to courageously explore caregiving\, our mortality\, and dementia in community. (Lunch included in workshop fee). See separate ticketing page to sign up. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Human Animal Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Nov 13 – Jan 31 | Opening Reception: Nov 13\, 5 – 8 \nThis exhibition explores how conceptual artists use imagery of animals\, creatures\, and “the other” to reflect on human nature and the breadth of human experience. Through large-scale installations and sweeping conceptual works\, the exhibition examines the symbolic power of the nonhuman as a mirror through which social\, political\, and psychological realities are revealed. \nFocusing on the figure of the animal—and the idea of the “human as other”—the exhibition interrogates themes of aggression\, dominance\, fear\, and control\, questioning the often false or ironic divide drawn between humanity and the natural world. What we project onto animals and imagined creatures frequently exposes our own instincts\, anxieties\, and contradictions\, revealing how closely intertwined human behavior is with the forces we claim to stand apart from. \nServing as a launching point for dialogue around American legacy\, the exhibition opens space for conversation on politics\, history\, and contemporary cultural and social issues. By situating animal imagery within broader conceptual frameworks\, the works challenge viewers to reconsider narratives of power\, violence\, and belonging\, and to reflect on what it means to be human in relation to the world we inhabit. \nParticipating artists: Jessica Teckermeyer\, Michael Brohman\, Tricia Waddel\, Xan McKenna\, Bailey Anderson\, Creative Nations

SUMMARY:COmpass REsonance: JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND PIPES featuring Christopher Holman
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\nThis concert takes place at Grace Commons Church: 1820 15th Street\, Boulder\, CO \nPre-concert lecture by the artist: in the Grace Commons Chapel at 6:30PM. \nPerformance: in the Grace Commons Sanctuary at 7:30PM. \nChristopher Holman\, Oxford Scholar and top prize recipient of the Albert Schweitzer International Organ Competition performs a solo recital presented by COmpass REsonance. This program traces the remarkable legacy of the Bach family through works for the organ\, from Johann Sebastian Bach’s dramatic Prelude and Fugue in B Minor to Johann Christian Bach’s playful transcription of Joseph Haydn’s “Imperial” Symphony. Performed on the tracker organ at Grace Commons Church — an entirely mechanical instrument whose keys are directly linked to the pipes — the music speaks with exceptional clarity\, with every nuance of touch shaping the sound. The result is a vivid portrait of a musical family whose influence continues to resonate across centuries. \nProgram:\nSymphony No. 53 in D Major “Imperial” by Joseph Haydn (1732–1809)\, arranged for solo organ by Johann Christian Bach (1735–1782)\nAn Wasserflüssen Babylon\, BWV 653 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)\nSonata in G Major\, Op. 5\, No. 3 by Johann Christian Bach (1735–1782)\nAus der Tiefen rufe ich\, BWV Anh. 745 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788)\nO Mensch\, bewein dein Sünde groß\, BWV 622 by J.S. Bach\nPrelude and Fugue in B Minor\, BWV 544 by J.S. Bach \nApproximate run time: 65 minutes performed without intermission \nAfter completing extensive graduate musicological and performance work at Basel’s famed Schola Cantorum\, Christopher Holman completed a PhD at Oxford\, where he directed ensembles and served as Lecturer. His solo organ performances have taken him across the planet\, playing historic and modern organs in every context: from basso continuo to the large solo works of Olivier Messiaen at the world’s great cathedrals. Dr. Holman has given lectures at University of Oxford\, Université Sorbonne in Paris\, Eastman School of Music\, and Trinity College Dublin\, and currently serves as Director of Music at St. Gertrude’s Cathedral in Cincinnati. He performed as continuo keyboardist in the 2022 Boulder Bach Festival recording (on the Sono Luminus label) and has collaborated with COmpass REsonance in performances of dozens of composers\, from 1600 onward. \nCORE’s Music Director and Dr. Holman have been friends and colleagues for nearly twenty years\, having performed across the United States together in duo recitals\, chamber music\, and larger ensemble contexts\, on period and modern instruments. CORE is thrilled to offer this lecture and solo recital as the center-point of our 2026/27 season\, with two orchestra concerts preceding it and two following it. This recital in context with the entire season points to CORE’s roots as a Bach festival and ongoing commitment to performance practices across time and cultures\, navigating the waters of music history with Bach as our compass.

SUMMARY:COmpass REsonance: MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE with Vadim Gluzman and CORE
DESCRIPTION:SUBSCRIBE\n TICKETS\nOne of the world’s most famous violin soloists\, “a musician’s musician\,” Vadim Gluzman returns to perform with COmpass REsonance. This special program includes the great Bach Violin Concerto in E Major\, from the album CORE and Gluzman recorded together in 2025\, on London-based Onyx Classics label. This program also includes the world premiere of a work that CORE commissioned specifically for Gluzman and this performance. Renowned composer Pall Ragnar Palsson is creating the new work\, exploring ancient Baltic themes and formative experiences in Latvia and Estonia\, where Gluzman and Palsson studied in their younger years. The new work utilizes baroque orchestra instrumentation with piano instead of harpsichord and also includes percussion. \nThe Baltic element is complemented by Musica Serena\, a work of stunning beauty by Vasks\, and the J.S. Bach concerto is balanced by a work of chamber music created by one of his contemporaries\, Dresden-based Heinichen. This trio sonata pairs Gluzman with CORE’s Music Director Zachary Carrettin\, alongside CORE cellist Joseph Howe\, and CORE Artistic Director Mina Gajić on harpsichord. \nProgram:\nTrio Sonata in C Minor\, S258 by Johann David Heinichen (1683-1729)\nWorld Premiere (suite for violin/strings/piano/percussion) by Pall Ragnar Palsson (b. 1977)\nMusica Serena by Peteris Vasks (b. 1946)\nConcerto for Violin\, Strings\, and Basso Continuo in E Major\, BWV1042 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) \nApproximate run time: 70 minutes performed without intermission \nVadim Gluzman is one of the top concert artists in the world today\, appearing as concerto soloist with every great orchestra\, from the New York Philharmonic to the Berlin Philharmonic. One of his many unique qualities is how he approaches the music of J.S. Bach\, using historical bows and an approach to style that is deeply rooted in Baroque performance practice. In 2025\, he recorded The Complete Bach Violin Concertos with COmpass REsonance using period bows and harpsichord\, released on London-based Onyx Classics label. \nThe continued collaboration with Mr. Gluzman has proven to be extremely artistically rewarding for CORE musicians\, and this time\, in addition to performing the work of Bach\, CORE/Gluzman are presenting the world premiere of a new work. CORE’s co-directors had worked previously with acclaimed composer Pall Ragnar Palsson in Iceland and recorded his work Notre Dame on their album\, Aequora. When they realized Palsson and Gluzman both spent years in Estonia and Latvia during their studies\, they decided this would be a perfect bringing together of two great musical minds—the Zoom meetings have been thrilling and seeing the work created in various stages has been inspiring!
