Opening October 6th, CCC presents What the Clay Records | a 50-Year Retrospective by Frank McGuirk. This landmark exhibition surveys five decades of McGuirk’s ceramic practice, shaped by time, friendship, and place. On display through October 31st. Details at carbondaleclay.org.

Check out the exhibitions in the Carbondale Arts Gallery, featuring a variety of mediums by Courtney Kenny, Michael Kinsley, and Laura Dortmans.

Recording Time (with Scraps and Words) by mixed media artist Courtney Kenny incorporates poetry as a form of sketching to record observations, emotions, frustrations, and revelations. Through her own art and poetry, Courtney documents these visceral moments of awe.

Intimate. Immensity. Laura Dortmans’ ceramic sculptures perform as a surrogate for the physicality of her body. The solidification of gestural movement translates a moment of intimate touch and gives form to the immensity of internal geography; desire, tender love, preserved in space and time

Fluid Landscapes by Michael Kinsley features newer landscape paintings, notable for their intriguing amplification of nature’s sensual forms. These “fluid” landscapes in oil depict familiar scenes in southeastern Utah and western Colorado, especially in the Roaring Fork Valley.

All three shows are generously sponsored by Basalt Printing and Art Supply, and on display through October 30. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

Get ready to laugh ‘til it hurts—Consensual Improv is back at TACAW! The Roaring Fork Valley’s one-and-only (and therefore most legendary) improv comedy troupe is hitting the stage for another night of lightning-fast laughs and off-the-cuff hilarity. Bring your wildest ideas and sharpest suggestions—great ones might just earn you some Consensual Improv swag. Along with the usual antics, this show will be a special one as we will honor Mike Monroney’s big birthday. He’s finally 21! Get ready for games and premises that poke fun at our teammate who’s been a staple in the valley for longer than he can remember. It’s spontaneous, it’s ridiculous, it’s 100% consensual.

Consensual Improv has been a valley tradition since 2016. They have been regulars at the Aspen Laugh Festival and shared the bill with Trevor Noah, Second City, and the late, great Norm MacDonald. Current members include Al Atkinson, Kristin Carlson, Gerald DeLisser, Eliphalet (Miller) Ford, Nina Gabianelli, Emily Henley, Ryan Honey, Brian Keleher, Mike Monroney, Zoë Rom, Jeff Patterson, Jack Trembath, and Cassidy Willey.
