Art at the Center Opening Reception and Demos

 

Nederland Community Center hosts the Opening Reception for the new show featuring eighteen artists this Thursday, June 15. Pick up a brush and learn to paint figures in watercolor with Nancy Sullo (free instruction & materials). Or watch Marilyn Pinaud and Bruce Miller paint with no brushes. Meet the artists whose works grace the walls of the center and fill it with life and color. Or just socialize with a glass of wine and delicious appetizers. This event is one of the classiest events in Nederland and we promise you will meet wonderful friends here!

 

A requested contribution of $5 provides two beverage tickets. Reservations are not required. Come at 4:30 to allow time to participate in the watercolor demo, visit with dozens of friends and neighbors, and vote for your favorite art by 6:30pm. The event closes at 7:00pm.

Our favorite way to get together – a delicious social meal and those who enjoy games extend the conversations a little longer over a game.

Foot Care

 

 Local Registered Nurse Debbie Neal serves mountain older adults with toenail and skin care, review of foot concerns – Wednesday, June 28. By appointment, downtown Nederland, $30, sign up at 303-258-0799

 

Silent Film w Live Music & Chautauqua Hike

 

The Chautauqua Summer Silent Film Series kicks off on Wednesday, June 28, at 7:30pm with the classic tale  “The Three Musketeers” (1921), starring Douglas Fairbanks and featuring the Silent Cinema Trio. Set in 1625, young D’Artagnan (Douglas Fairbanks) heads to Paris, his heart set on becoming a musketeer. Soon after his arrival, D’Artagnan meets three of the most respected and feared musketeers, Porthos, Aramis and Athos, and joins them to defend Queen Anne against the devious Cardinal Richelieu.

 

Starring Colorado native, Douglas Fairbanks, “The Three Musketeers,” is a classic swashbuckling silent film with elaborate costumes, valiant heroes and scheming villains. The film exuberantly embraces the melodramatic absurdities of Alexandre Dumas’ 1844 novel and highlights Fairbanks’ ebullient physicality.

 

Running time: 119 minutes

 

Reserve your ticket now and pay by Monday, June 26, to NAS. Tickets are $12. If enough people sign up, we may be able to get a discount (we’ll settle up with you later if we get one). We will try to match up ride offers and requests to try to help everyone get there!

 

Some of us will hike for an hour on the paths near the theater. Hikers sign up in advance so we know you are coming (303-258-0799). Meet at the box office (west of the theater) at 6:00pm.
