Please join us for an intimate experience combining art, meditation, ritual and community. Mia Perry Bowick of Cassia Collective and Artist, Shannon Dunn will facilitate the Women's Circle.  The Circle will open with a grounding ritual and meditation inspired by the "Elements" art exhibit in the gallery. Open conversation centering on the life elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water and Space will follow and our time will close with a guided ritual, as well.  We believe gathering in a circle with other women while practicing vulnerability and authenticity can create real and lasting change.

We encourage you to arrive 10-15 minutes early to get settled.  All women are welcome and encouraged to bring a favorite beverage, journal and a curious mind and heart. 

When: Sunday, October 12th, 10am-12pm

First Friday Artwalk is a must-attend event in Colorado Springs!

Our Arts Community is so vibrant and there are so many galleries and venues that participate all over Colorado Springs, in particular the art corridor from Downtown Colorado Springs, to Old Colorado City into Manitou Springs.

Auric Gallery has from 1-4 new exhibits monthly and our opening receptions are the First Friday of every month from 4-8pm.

Join Lora in the beautiful space of Auric Gallery for an All Levels Flow, with an emphasis on matching breath and movement. This is not your typical flow class. Lora will encourage you to engage with the art, the colors, and the energy of the space during your practice.

Bring yourself, a mat and some water.

Come join us, the 3rd Tuesday of every month!!

(NBCBC) is a group of Colorado Springs based Artists, Musicians, Poets, Filmakers, Chefs, Nerds, Weirdo's, etc. whose goal is to meet monthly to share and communicate ideas; by swapping books, articles, web links, play lists and experiences.

This event was created in order to break down the traditional ideas of learning found in school systems while also bridging art cliques in COS.

We feel the most important information out there is what individuals curate into their own lives. We want to create and aid in the construction of safe places for open discussion and free expression.

NBCBC meets at Auric Gallery on the 3rd Sunday of every month at 7pm.

Join us on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 5:30pm for Artist Talks!

Artist talks provide a unique opportunity to better understand the artist’s creative process and the inspiration behind their work.

Whether you're an artist, collector, an art admirist, or someone curious about the creative world, attending an artist talk can inspire new ideas, provide context for exhibitions, and offer a chance to engage with our art community.
