It’s time to put on your favorite boots, practice your loudest “yips” and “yeehaws,” and learn some line dances! We will learn basic moves and terminology in country (and pop!) dancing and then put them to work in choreography. You don’t need any experience to join these classes! All ages, genders, and abilities are welcome – after all, dancing is for everyone. All you need to bring is your willingness to learn, a big smile, and your shining presence!

Class is from 5:30pm-6:30pm and $10/person. Any questions or wish to get on the email list: rfvlinedance@gmail.com

Carbondale pioneer woman Hattie Thompson Holland went to Panama in the late 1920’s. She visited historic sites and indigenous villages and traveled through the Panama Canal shortly after its creation. A century later, Carbondale historian Sue Gray retraced some of Hattie’s journey armed with copied photos and notes from the Carbondale Historical Society. This presentation will feature both old and new images and descriptions of the captivating land of Panama.

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.
