Anything is possible at the Blue Sage Center. Housed in two beautiful historic buildings on the main street of rural Paonia, Colorado, the Blue Sage is a hub where teachers, students, artists and entertainers join to share their passions and talents. A community-driven arts and education center, the Blue Sage provides a venue where anyone can plan an event large or small, teach a class, put on a p

lay, arrange a concert, or schedule a talk on myriad subjects ranging from recent travel to astrophysics. A key direction for the Blue Sage is the provisions of classes designed to help the community’s youth to gain job skills and experience through participation in varied work-study programs at the center and its art gallery. We’re also committed to developing meaningful programming for families, adults and young children. At the the heart of this multi-faceted center is its volunteers of all ages, from all walks of life and with so many varied interests and the affordability of programs so that all can participate.

On FINAL FRIDAY we welcome a new show into our gallery. Join us for the opening reception of Aspens Alive, an exhibition of works by Amy Grogan, on August 28th from 5 – 7 PM.

Aspens Alive is the story of aspens, as told from their perspective, about their uniqueness as trees and how they support life and the larger ecosystem as a whole. As some of the oldest and largest living organisms on Earth, there are parallels and lessons for us that can be applied toward each other and our own survival as a species.

Amy works in reduction printmaking, with works that are part representational, part abstraction. Her designs are all original, hand carved and hand printed on handmade Japanese paper. Each print contains 5 to 7 colors, with one print layer for each color, meaning each edition takes one to two weeks to complete. Her work is steeped in her emotional connection to the Western and Southwestern landscape from over 30 years of backcountry exploration and observation.

Join us on Final Friday to see this wonderful work. The bar will be open and light snacks will be served. We hope to see you there!

Ah, the Big B's parking lot. Many a wonderful night has begun and ended here. By our calculations, it's the best parking lot in the county, hands down. Not least because THIS FRIDAY, all proceeds from the parking at Big B's Delicious Orchards goes to benefit the Blue Sage!

Oh, and the Rainbow Girls are pretty awesome, too.

Come down and see this amazing show and support a good cause while you're at it. Will we see you there?
