Yampa Valley Arts & Gallery Guide • 1

Welcome to steamboat

A

rt is personal.

As the publisher of the Yampa Valley Arts & Gallery Guide, my connection to the arts goes back to my childhood, when I grew up in Minneapolis watching my mother weld abstract metal sculptures. She worked at a community studio in a …wait for it… converted train depot. Sound familiar?

Since 1989, the Steamboat Springs Arts Council has flourished in the 106-yearold train depot alongside the river. It has spearheaded an impressive arts movement that attracts nationwide attention.

It may be trite to say, “There’s something for everyone,” but remembering that art is intensely individual, here are my top 10 essentials for the Steamboat cultural scene – in no particular order.

1. First Friday Artwalk: Mingling with friends, sipping wine and seeing amazing new work by local artists in the downtown galleries; I can’t pick one favorite!

2. Strings Music Festival: Steinway Black Model D. I’m with Grateful Dead keyboardist Bruce Hornsby, who said, “You people have a sweet piano in this town!”

5. Steamboat Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Ernest Richardson: Steamboat is the only mountain resort community with its own year-round orchestra.

6. Art in the Park: More than 100 regional artists, plus performing art and state fair food.

7. Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts Camp: Julie Harris, Dustin Hoffman, Agnes DeMille, Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham – how’s that for name-dropping?

8. Plein-air painters: They have an eye for capturing the Yampa Valley’s beauty like I wish I could.

9. Tom Mangelsen: Named by Jane Goodall as a “Hero of the Animal Planet” for his astounding nature photography.

10. Public art: From the bronze cougar at Burgess Creek to the lifelike sculpture of Steamboat’s Grand Dame, Hazie Werner, sitting on a park bench outside the Bud Werner Memorial Library.

3. The Chief Theater: Finally, local performing artists have a home in Steamboat Springs, and what a home it is — a true cultural icon.

I could list another 100 reasons, but I’ve run out of space long before I’ve run out of enthusiasm. Please peruse this edition of the Yampa Valley Arts & Gallery Guide and use it as a starting point to create your own top-10 list.

4. Steamboat Art Museum: Semi-annual exhibits of works by the West’s most prominent artists

Enjoy!

about the cover Artist

C

Willman’s work revolves around the four universal elements of alchemy: fire, water, wind and earth. As its title indicates, I Dreamed the River was inspired by the Colorado River – “my muse,” she says. She was at her favorite spot along the river, sketching and creating rough drafts, when the concept for the painting came together.

“It conveys the essence of that river space,” she explains.

I Dreamed the River, 40 x 30, is an intricate complex of mixed oil and water media layers. She paints through subtraction, covering forms she wants to make recede, leaving just a sense of the shape visible through the layering, and pulling out forms she’d like to emphasize. “That’s where I create depth,” she says.

“Steamboat and the Yampa

Valley are part of who I am.

This valley resonates with such depth – physical, geological, emotional.

”

— Jan Marét Willman

Willman works in the south valley at her studio, which has both inside and outside space. “Steamboat and the Yampa Valley are part of who I am,” she says. “This valley resonates with such depth – physical, geological, emotional. It is the curse (legend has it that the Yampa Valley Curse lures visitors to stay and make their home here) and I’ve got it. The springs here are portals to the fires of the earth’s core. There’s that force, the power of the earth, that’s very exciting. It’s what separates our valley from others. This was a sacred place to the Utes.

The connection here with the ancestors is so amazing.”

Jan Marét Willman

As for what’s next, Willman says, “My work is evolving as my sense of the unseen matures. It’s not all about me. I surrender to my muse; it’s what I have to do. When I think, ‘I should do this,’ I’m basically fighting the force. At a certain point in the process, I need to let go and let the life of the painting come through. That’s part of the mystery. I’m crossing the Rubicon and walking into the mystery of life.”

Willman is experimenting with a new medium, a mixture of materials that will allow her to create a new body of very unique works. She is also collecting her images and poetry/writing with the intent of publishing a coffee table book within the next year.

Willman’s work can be seen at the Center for Visual Arts, 837 Lincoln Ave., (exclusively showing the cover piece), Vertical Arts and Stel House + Home in Wildhorse Marketplace and at the PaddleWheel Coffee and Tea Company downtown.

Welcome to the Steamboat All Arts Festival

What an exciting time in Steamboat Springs! Every single day I am amazed by the sheer number of creative, inspiring and talented people that make up our community tapestry. There are individual artisans, educators, arts organizations and creative businesses that work within the boundaries of the Yampa Valley. Each of their noble endeavors engages the ultimate resource – human creativity.

A collaborative event, the All Arts Festival encompasses the rich culture of Steamboat’s visual, music and performance arts while featuring nationally known artists in an idyllic mountain setting. Take a free master opera class, listen to a Grammy-winning jazz trumpeter or shake it to bluegrass bands, browse the Yampa River Fine Art Stroll during this eclectic affair and celebrate the creative industries of Steamboat.

The Steamboat Springs Arts Council is THE umbrella organization that encourages, elevates and celebrates creativity through all art forms. This year the Arts Council takes on the leadership role of the All Arts Festival. Previously coordinated by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, the festival consists of the Yampa River Fine Art Stroll, Young at Art Creativity Camps and a wide variety of partner events.

If you enjoy the arts, you will appreciate all the facets of arts and culture that combine to create this festival experience. Emerald City Opera, Yampa River Fine Art Stroll, Strings Music Festival, Point and Shoot film at the Bud Werner Library, Seminars in Steamboat lectures, Local Author Showcase at Off the Beaten Path, An Evening with Mozart at the Chief Theater and our downtown gallery tours are all part of the Steamboat All Arts Festival.

Indulge in the delights of your senses at the All Arts Festival, where operatic sounds fill the mountain air, culinary delights ignite the taste buds, music tempts us to move and visual creations burst with color and originality in the mountain city of Steamboat Springs.

14 • Summer 2015

The All Arts Festival is a shining example of how all art forms can work together to elevate and celebrate arts and culture in our rural mountain communities.

Visiting Artist Nancy Friese

A vibrant artist who thrives outdoors, Nancy Friese is the Steamboat Springs Arts Council’s distinguished visiting artist for the 2015 All Arts Festival. During her time here, she is conducting gallery tours, critiques, a painting workshop and creative mixology in conjunction with the All Arts Festival events.

Friese finds artistic inspiration in nature, and her works and chosen perspectives coalesce to compound the natural beauty.

For three decades she has worked outside in the landscape, and has been invited to paint on-site at many distinguished locations, including the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, Long Island, and Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France.

Presents: Saturday, Aug. 15 – 7:30 p.m.

Steamboat Springs High School Auditorium Tickets and information: Emeraldcityopera.com

Leonard Bernstein’s comedic operetta based on Voltaire’s satire of innocence, optimism and the unexpected lessons of life. The composition is a masterpiece for the ages, with lyrics by Richard Wilbur and Steven Sondheim. Fully staged with orchestra.

Brief synopsis Candide is the illegitimate nephew of a German baron. His tutor, Dr. Pangloss, teaches him that their world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything that transpires in this world is for the best. Candide accepts Dr. Pangloss’s teachings as absolute truth and maintains his belief through a life of the most absurd confrontations, adventures and misfortunes.

Candide is expelled from his home for sharing an innocent kiss with the Baron’s beautiful daughter, Cunégonde. He leaves and soon is coerced into military service, where he is flogged and nearly executed. He escapes and travels to Holland, where he finds his master, Pangloss, now a beggar with syphilis.

Pangloss relates how Cunégonde and her whole family were killed by Bulgars. They sail 18 • Summer 2015

to Lisbon, suffer a shipwreck, and just reach shore before a massive earthquake strikes.

There, Pangloss is hanged as a heretic, and Candide is flogged for approving of Pangloss’s philosophy. An old woman dresses Candide’s wounds and then, to his astonishment, takes him to Cunégonde, who survived the murder attempt and is now a servant to two men.

Candide kills both of the men, and with the two women, flees to Buenos Aires.

The governor of Buenos Aires, Don Fernando, proposes to Cunégonde, and thinking of her own financial welfare, she accepts. Meanwhile, the authorities from Portugal pursue Candide for murder, so he and his new servant, Cacambo, escape to a revolutionary Jesuit camp in Paraguay.

The Colonel at the camps turns out to be Cunégonde’s brother, who also survived the Bulgar attack. Although Candide has saved his sister’s life, the brother insists that his sister will never marry a commoner. Enraged, Candide runs him through with his sword.

Candide and Cacambo move on and eventually find themselves in the land of Eldorado, where gold and jewels litter the streets. After a month in Eldorado, he and Cacambo depart with countless wealth.

Candide sends Cacambo to Buenos Aires with instructions to use part of the fortune to purchase Cunégonde from Don Fernando and then to meet him in Venice.

Candide marries Cunégonde, but she is now unattractive and everyone is unhappy, especially since the only reason he liked Cunégonde in the first place was because of her looks. Life is terrible until they buy a small farm, and somehow find satisfaction in hard work.

Mary L. Belhouse

Candide sails to France with a pessimistic scholar named Martin, and after briefly enjoying the company of elite Parisian

society, they travel to Venice. They find Cacambo, who is now a slave of a deposed Turkish monarch. Cunégonde is in Constantinople, having herself been enslaved along with the old woman of Lisbon. They depart for Turkey, where Candide purchases Cacambo’s freedom and, when he finds them, he buys Cunégonde and the old woman, too.

Candide discovers that Dr. Pangloss and Cunégonde’s brother both survived their injuries and are working in a galley, and he buys their freedom as well.

He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a three-year, 35,000-mile
