Join The Dairy Arts Center for the opening receptions of Diptych, featuring photographs by Keith Brenner, and Contemplation featuring works by Belgin Yucelen, Natasha Mistry, and Paul Brokering. In the McMahon Gallery, photographer Keith Brenner will be featuring 50 photographic works paired as diptychs. This is an interactive exhibit, and Brenner invites the viewer to interpret the works for themselves. Viewers will be tasked to write a description of how they interpret the photographs, which will later be shared on a Zoom call during the last week of the exhibition and included in a forthcoming book. In Contemplation, the artists’ works are tied together through themes of meditation, process, focus and reflection. Presented in painting, photography and printmaking, the pieces in this exhibit invite viewers to dive into them and admire their creation, and the reflective, meditative quality art can have.

This month, Boulder’s Story Slam is doing it differently. Storytellers have been selected in advance, and were invited to participate in a seven-week workshop in which they dug for and developed personal narrative stories based on the theme of race. The stories have been developed through the lens of anti-racism work. Still a theme, still a time limit, just no judging. Produced by The Dairy Arts Center, Walker and Piggott welcome everyone to join in person or via Zoom to listen to these powerful stories about how race has shaped the storytellers lives. A portion of the proceeds will go to a Black Lives Matter initiative (organization yet to be named).

Art + Eat: Local Exhibition and Farm-to-Table Dinner. 4:30 p.m. Saturday, November 6 (with events through November 21), Yellow Barn Farm, 9417 N. Foothills Highway, Longmont. Tickets: $80—ticket proceeds go directly to artists and chefs.
Curated by CU Art History graduate Mary Catherine Hodges, the Yellow Barn Art Initiative’s first exhibition, titled Sun Soaked Horizons, presents a collection of paintings by Boulder-based emerging artist Ariana Hoch. This collection is centralized around color contrasting the warm neutral tones of Colorado with vibrant color palettes and thick lively brushstrokes. Before moving to Colorado, Ariana spent the past five years traveling between North Carolina, New Orleans, Central America, and Europe painting her experiences. Sun Soaked Horizons features her most recent landscape pieces, each painted outside in the sunshine on raw linen canvas. They explore feelings of vastness instilling a sense of peace and joy. To open this exhibition, in partnership with FoodBridge and Drylands Agroecology Research, the Yellow Barn Art Initiative is proud to host Burmese refugee-turned-chef Zin Zin, who will be using local farm-sourced ingredients to craft a traditional “village-style” Burmese meal.
Authors We Love: Amy Frykholm. 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 10, Longmont Library, 409 Fourth Avenue, Longmont, bit.ly/3CFAJCz
In this free event, Amy Frykholm will discuss her new book Wild Woman: A Footnote, the Desert, and My Quest for an Elusive Saint. In the dusty corner of a library, journalist Amy Frykholm discovers a footnote that leads her on a decades-long search for Mary of Egypt—runaway, prostitute, holy desert-dweller, saint, and archetypal wild woman. With a scholar’s eye and a mystic’s heart, Frykholm shares a look at an elusive and dynamic figure from history while offering insights into our own inner lives. A senior editor for The Christian Century, Frykholm appears frequently on television and radio programs as an expert in American religion. Copies of Wild Woman will be available for purchase and Frykholm will be available to sign copies after the talk.
CU Boulder Visiting Artist Lecture: Sama Alshaibi. 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 9. Virtual Event URL: calendar.colorado.edu
Sama Alshaibi’s photographs and videos situate her own body as a site of performance in consideration of the social and gendered impacts of war and migration. Her work complicates the coding of the Arab female figure found in the history of photographs and moving images. Alshaibi’s sculptural installations evoke the disappearance of the body and act as counter-memorials to war and forced exile. In 2021, Alshaibi was named a Guggenheim Fellow in photography. Sama Alshaibi received her MFA from CU Boulder in 2005. You can livestream this talk on CU Boulder’s Art & Art History YouTube channel.
Charles Pellerin: A New Physics in Our Lifetime? 7:30 p.m. Monday, November 8, Chautauqua Community House, 900 Baseline Road, Boulder. Tickets: $15, chautauqua.com
While we have a deep understanding of physics here on earth, 95 percent of the Universe remains perplexing. We first explore the central role of experiments in advancing science. Then, examine a program created by speaker Charles Pellerin to find this “new physics” using telescopes in space that span the electromagnetic spectrum. Spoiler alert: It has not succeeded, yet!
‘The Alpinist’ hosted by the Boulder Environmental Nature Outdoors Film Festival. 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 9, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut Street, Boulder. Tickets: $15, thedairy.org/event/the-alpinist
Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc’s approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (The Dawn Wall) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on an historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.
