WHY CATS HAVE SKINNY PUPILS: JACK COLLOM & THE WRITINGS OF BOULDER COUNTY SCHOOL CHILDREN @ MAIN

February 1–February 9 Jack Collom (1931-2017) began teaching in poets-in-the-schools programs in the mid-1970s nationwide (and abroad), a practice he continued for the rest of his life. He taught thousands of school children of all grades in Boulder County and wrote the book Moving Windows about teaching poetry to children. His boyish (even in old age) joie d’écrire was infectious and generations of students have been exposed to, “infected with,” poetry as a direct result of Jack Collom. This exhibition is a sampling of that poetry.

PINK PROGRESSION @ MAIN

February 16–March 23 On January 21, 2017 history was made when over two million people joined the historic, global women marches. During the marches, pink created a strong visual statement representing unity and empowerment. Inspired by the marches, this exhibition highlights the work of over thirty local artists who will use the color pink as a unifying element. Pink Progression will have a simultaneous exhibit at the Denver Public Library from March 2nd through June 29th, 2018. For more information on the exhibit and to participate in Pink Progression’s postcard call for entry go to: pinkprogression.wordpress.com

See pages 2–3 and 12–13 for exhibit related programs. The full list of exhibition-related programs can be found on the library website or in the Canyon Gallery.
