"That Which Remains" by Agustina Mistretta is a poetic interpretation of the language of the mountains, capturing the transitional periods and the apparent changes in the landscape for the perspective of combining personal history, family and found archival material, and a personal obsession with her surrounding topography. Mountains have been a steady guiding force in her life path.

"Empyreal Odyssey" by mixed media artist Benjamin Eric explores the intersection of mythology and cosmology, drawing inspiration from ancient cultural stories and symbols regarding celestial phenomena and the human desire to connect to the divine. Recognizable imagery created through a combination of recycled wood, artifacts and various mediums are meant to be a new narrative as imagined by the artist.

Both shows are on display through September 25. The gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm.

Join us for Walking Club hosted by Cook Inclusive!
Every other week we host a walking club, on Mondays at 5PM, that are aimed to be inclusive of every age and ability, while we explore different paved paths throughout Carbondale. We walk about 2 miles every meeting. We will meet outside of the Cook Inclusive office (50 Weant Blvd, Carbondale, CO 81623). We will also end our walk at the same location.
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!
If you have any questions or a follow up, PLEASE reach out. My email is libby@cookinclusive.org

The Pleasure of Reading with Angélica Breña

El Placer de Leer is a Spanish-language reading program designed to cultivate a love for literature by Hispanic and Latin American authors. Through reading and discussing selected texts, participants explore the richness of writers who have shaped literature in Spanish.

This is not a Spanish language class but rather a space for literary conversation and analysis, where participants are expected to have a high level of reading comprehension and conversational fluency in Spanish. The program coordinator suggests the readings, selecting works that spark interest and discussion, from classics to contemporary authors.

Sessions provide a friendly and enriching environment where each reader contributes their perspective and enjoys the diversity of interpretations that a good book can inspire.
