The Muses Don’t Tell Me Sh*t is a solo exhibition by artist Vallee Noone. She says this about her 800+ artworks; “When I’m drawing, I feel as though I’m watching the pieces form and have very little to say in the vision. In fact, if I try to pursue a particular vision, the drawing falls apart quickly. It’s when I surrender that the most amazing details, threads and coincidences become apparent.”

Oddly Familiar is a solo exhibition featuring oil painter Chad Knowles. Nature and mystery are the subjects Chad returns to again and again. His artwork explores the idea that there is a consciousness in everything. The eye, a potent symbol of awareness, appears frequently in Chad’s work as a way of honoring that shared sentience.

Join us for the opening reception July 11, from 5:00-7:00pm with artist talks beginning at 5:30pm. The Carbondale Arts gallery is free and open to the public weekdays 10am-5pm.

Every other week we host a walking club, on Mondays at 5PM, that is aimed to be inclusive of every age and ability, while we explore different paved paths throughout the valley. We walk about 2 miles every meeting.
This club is so important to our community because so many individuals that are faced with mobility concerns are not considered when most group activities are planned. This is a FREE event that is led by individuals that have education and training focused on inclusive navigation. That means whether you join us with children in strollers, are wheelchair bound, or use a mobility aid, we are able to help provide a positive experience.
Again, this is an inclusive club, so even if you do not have mobility concerns, we invite you to still join us for an easy paced walk!
Our next meeting is July 14th at 5PM. We are meeting at the south side of Brush Creek park and ride and plan to walk the Brush Creek Trail for 1 mile then turn back!

Aikido is a modern Japanese martial art focused on re-directing conflict into harmony. Benefits include confidence, discipline, stress-relief, resilience, community-building and fitness. All levels practice together. We are affiliated with the United States Aikido Federation.

Appointment required before first class. Please contact us for information.
