Create abstract art guided by your imagination.

Let music and your subconscious lead the way as you experiment with
non-representational shapes, colors, and marks to fill the page. This is a
chance to play, explore, and express freely—no need to represent the real
world. We'll listen to a variety of musical genres—jazz, classical, electronic,
bluegrass, and more—and use the rhythms, moods, and textures as inspiration for
your visual compositions. Let the sound guide your hand and see where your
creativity takes you. Supplies included.

When: August 16th, 12:30-4:30pm

Where: Auric Gallery, 125 E Boulder Street, CSC 80903

Cost: $175

Girl Dinner, starting as a viral internet craze around how girls eat when no one is around, has since led the artist on a material investigation of the nuances of femininity as a thing defined by hunger. The way womxn and femme folks have kept their plates empty to take up less space at the table is an age-old tale. This story transpires as a larger conversation about traditions, gender roles and commodification.

GIRL DINNER is a culinary collaboration between Ephemera and the artist, Jasmine Dillavou.

5 creative courses will take the guest on an exploratory journey through these ideas in this high-concept immersive dining experience.


Tickets $103/person, 5 courses, 5 pairings. Due to the conceptual elements of this experience, dietary restrictions will be limited. Please @EphemeraDinners.com for questions.

WHEN:
August 24th from 6:30-9pm

WHERE:
Auric Gallery
125 E Boulder Street

COST:
Starting at $103

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.
