Nearly 6,000 people of all ages have completed the Summer of Discovery so far. Our summer reading program has transformed into a celebration of reading and sharing fun and educational community connections and experiences, together. Rock climb inside the Bouldering Bus, learn how to make delicious cocktails and agua fresca, get an inside look at an orchestra, wire-wrap stones, and celebrate at Summer Fest 2018. Enjoy events and activities for pre-readers, kiddos, teens and for the first time, adults. There's still time to log your progress, earn prizes and discover a summer of learning and fun.

Curated by Melanie Yazzie and Jennifer Heath, this show shares artworks created by indigenous or descendants of indigenous people addressing the topics such as land, incursion, aggression, home, empowerment and resistance.ORIGINS is a companion exhibition to PERILOUS JOURNEYS in the Present Box at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art through July 28.

SLOW MOVER
Coming Up July 21 - August 19, Canyon Gallery
Presented by artists Matthew and Lisa Bethancourt of Mouse & the Billionaire, this is a series of traditional and interactive artworks that invite viewers to reflect on the slow movement of time. Living with artwork over time can be powerful and is very different than seeing something for a few minutes in a public context. For this reason, selected works will be gifted to interested individuals during the exhibition.
