Fourth Annual Exhibition at the Dairy Arts Center | Curated by Adderly Grant-Lord
Now in its fourth year at the Dairy Arts Center, Black Futures in Art is a sweeping, annual exhibition presented in celebration of Black History Month and in ongoing recognition of Black artistry and excellence year-round. Curated by Adderly Grant-Lord, the exhibition brings together Black artists from Colorado and across the United States, highlighting a broad range of practices, voices, and visions shaping contemporary art today.
This year’s exhibition is grounded in the theme “The excellence beneath our feet lives in our bones,” a poetic meditation on legacy, inheritance, and resilience. The exhibition looks to what has been buried, erased, or overlooked in both past and present, while honoring the enduring knowledge, creativity, and excellence that persist across generations. Through visual art, the exhibition considers how memory, land, body, and ancestry carry stories forward, and how art becomes a conduit for community, reflection, and dialogue around the past, present, and future.
Black Futures in Art creates space for both celebration and critical engagement, inviting audiences to witness how artists navigate history, imagine possibility, and cultivate collective understanding. The exhibition is accompanied by a robust slate of public programming, including film screenings, artist talks, a lecture series, and hands-on workshops, further extending the exhibition’s commitment to conversation, education, and connection.

“Their voices sound fantastic together…Enion is a marvelous violin player, and David is her equal on mandolin and guitar.” -No Depression
Taarka seamlessly fuses brilliant instrumental chops with songwriting of great depth and creativity, cooking up musical “sustenance that stays with you long after you’ve pushed away from the table.” Adventurers through the many landscapes of music and true world travelers, veterans of 1000-year floods and veggie oil tour buses, David (voice, mandolin, guitar, and octave mandolin) and Enion Pelta-Tiller (voice, 5-string violin) spin stories and melodies that delight, inspire, and move all who listen. Now joined by their son, 17 year old bass prodigy Aesop Pelta-Tiller, Taarka embodies the most cohesive and entrancing version of their music.
Taarka and its members have performed with members of Old and In the Way, the Grateful Dead, Phish, and String Cheese Incident, and shared stages with Linda Ronstadt, The Decembrists, Darrel Scott, John Cowan, Yonder Mountain String Band, Peter Rowan, Darol Anger, Joe Craven, ALO, Keller Williams, Danny Barnes, Steve Kimock, Taj Mahal, Widespread Panic, The Samples, and Aquarium Rescue Unit, Kaki King, Rob Wasserman, Tony Furtado, The Motet, Dan Bern and The Everyone Orchestra.

Nosilla Dance Project Presents (un)Forgotten | Feb. 27 - Mar 1
2026-02-27 19:30 - 21:00 | Gordon Gamm Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Wake Up! We Were Here Once Before!
“(un) Forgotten” is a bold evening-length dance production choreographed by Artistic Director Alli Jones that confronts war, division, and loss as urgent reflections of our present world. Through powerful imagery rooted in the history of the Holocaust, the performance invites audiences to feel, connect, and recognize how cycles of hatred and silence repeat as memory fades.
With a set crafted for this work by Justin Kalvin and costumes designed by former Naropa Arts Professor Joan Anderson, the work is brought to life with striking visual elements. Invoking memory through movement, dancers Cassy Clark, Nicola Elder, Angela Gumieniak, Mira Kaplan, Jethro Paine, Claire Schlutt, and Eva Wilder move through moments where escape and luck were once the only chances for survival. Drawing from Artistic Director, Alli Jones’ Jewish-European roots, “(un) Forgotten” invites a conversation about the consequences of forgetting, the patterns we repeat, and the histories we carry; it is a recollection of what our world was, is, and may be becoming.
Sunday, March 1, 2:00 PM: Pay What You Can ($5.75 minimum)

Daughtering
2026-03-13 19:30 - 21:30 | Carsen Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, Colorado, 80302, United States
TICKETS
In “Daughtering,” three generations of women navigate living, dying and the dead when they are called home to appease unruly spirits. Sixteen to seventy-something, each carries her own idea of what it means to be a daughter: caregiver, rebel, keeper of the stories, breaker of the cycle. Over the course of three charged days and nights, the daughters navigate relationship, grief, and the business of the old house that contains them, alive in its own way with memory and an impressive population of mice. What unfolds is a darkly humorous, emotionally resonant exploration of identity, inheritance and the universal work of becoming who we are, despite (and because of) where we come from. The play culminates in DIY ceremony and catharsis – as tender, fierce and complicated as daughtering itself.

Audiences will experience the evocative Holberg Suite by the poetic Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, interwoven with a bouquet of varied gems.
This concert’s repertoire has been expanded with an intermission added, to reflect that CORE’s December Merry Mozart concert was canceled due to severe winds and loss of electricity across the city. The program is now a combination of works from the canceled December program and the previously planned March program. Therefore, the first half
of the 3/21 concert includes Mozart’s dancing Divertimento in F Major, and his heartfelt Piano Concerto K.413, featuring Mina Gajić as piano soloist. Shorter works that refresh the aural palate include J.S. Bach’s timeless “Arioso,” and “Norwegian Wood” by Lennon/McCartney—in a totally new version of The Beatles’ much adored classic.
PROGRAM:
Salzburg Symphony “Divertimento” in F Major, K.138—W.A. Mozart
Largo from Concerto in F Minor, BWV 1056—J.S. Bach
Piano Concerto in F Major, K.413—W.A. Mozart

The announcement marks the first full season under its new name and mission, following a legal rebrand in January 2025. The transition reflects a decade of artistic expansion led by pianist Mina Gajić and violinist-conductor Zachary Carrettin, who took the festival’s helm in 2014. Under their direction, programming has grown to encompass five centuries of music, improvisation and cross-disciplinary collaborations. The group’s mission is “to enrich lives with performances of music from across time and cultures and to create distinct learning opportunities for musicians and audiences.” -Daily Camera

2026-03-26 20:00 - 21:20 | Gordon Gamm Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Parasol Arts presents the famous story of Carmen using the sensual and passionate language of Argentine Tango, for the first time in Boulder. The performance tells the story of Carmen, Don José, and the bullfighter Escamillo. Carmen is a free-spirited gypsy in contrast to the temperamental and fickle Don José. A fight with Don Jose’s fiancé, Michaela, leads to Carmen’s arrest by Captain Zúñiga. In jail, she seduces Don José and convinces him to release her. Carmen is subsequently caught in a love triangle between Don José and popular bullfighter Escamillo. Captain Zuniga and Michaela disapprove of the unconventional behaviour of Carmen and her lovers. Fate, a representation of Carmen’s alter ego, tells Carmen’s fortune with a deck of cards. Carmen ignores the warning of her destiny and continues to pursue Escamillo. Don José is obsessed with Carmen and in a jealous moment stabs her. She dies caressing Don José’s face, revealing him as the assassin.
“Carmen, The Tango” created and directed by Lorita Travaglia, features the talents of Donato Juarez as Don Jose, Diana Cruz as Carmen, Marcelo Molina as Escamillo, Sarah Genung as Michaela, Facundo Agüero Maisano as Captain Zuniga and Lorita Travaglia as Fate.

BVSD Annual High School Art Exhibition Opening Reception
2026-04-02 17:00 - 19:00 | Dairy Arts Center, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
On View April 2 – May 3 | Opening Reception: April 2 , 5 – 7 PM
For the BVSD Annual High School Art Exhibition, this year’s theme is “The Third Eye,” in line with this year’s PEEK fundraiser theme. The prompt was shared with BVSD educators in September, giving teachers and students an entire academic year to explore the idea in the classroom. The theme has served as a launching point for sustained educational inquiry. The exhibition opens with a public reception and, in partnership with Boulder Arts Week, will feature a student-led artist talk for the first time.
The Third Eye invites student artists to explore the connections between art, spirituality, and the unseen. Centered on the idea that art can be more than representation, the theme positions creative practice as a portal into liminal spaces, forgotten rituals, and deeper ways of knowing.
Across art history, artists have turned to spiritual and mystical traditions as sources of transformation—from Hildegard of Bingen’s illuminated visions and Georgiana Houghton’s trance drawings to the abstract languages of Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky. In this lineage, students ask: How does art help us access the unknown? How can ritual, myth, or meditation be part of creative practice? What does it mean to “see” beyond the visible?
