For those who follow the very old
and storied tradition that is the ballet,
the modern era one that seems
filled with endless televised celebrity
dance contestshas been a challeng-
ing time to keep the public focused
on the purest essence of dance.
And while Longmon

Kingsley says.
We instantly outgrew this space when we
moved in, 12 or 13 years ago, and when you
have 120 kids, plus props masters, musi-
cians, parents and everyone using the
costume room, it gets a little overload-
ed, she says. Its their second home,
and it gets pretty loud and exciting in
here.
Camille Taft, a 16-year-old per-
former who can be found daily at
the schools Pre-Collegiate Ballet
Intensive Program, says she hopes
the new name and image can help
bring some additional attention to a
much-beloved local institution.

up
here,
Taft says. It has
some of the best opportunities
around, with really good training
and even chances for performances
in principal roles as a teenager. Ive
been able to get a very wide back-
ground of experience.
That professionalism and the ma-
turity that it builds into the student
dancers is equaled by the spirit
the Centennial State Ballets families
and supporters have created through
their countless hours of rehearsals
and community outreach, Taft says.
We have a very strong group of
dancers and the company provides
a comfortable place to pursue the
passion we have for ballet, she
says. My mom has been involved
backstage or in the office since I
started, and that influence has been
really important to me its not just
us working with the teachers, its a
whole community.
The dance company has been
gratified to be able to use the Niwot
High School auditorium for their
major annual performances, but a
dedicated, multipurpose space
potentially shared with musicians,
photographers, or even yoga or
pilates professionals could also
help boost the ballets already strong
reputation in the region.
Whenever I tell people about our
shows and they come to watch,
theyre pretty impressed by the
amount of time we put into it and
the quality of our performances,
Taft says. People are a bit surprised
that we put on full-length ballet
pieces with real sets and orchestras.
Its a lot more than just some high
school after-school thing.
The new name is also an effort to
combine the ballet groups various
programs the Longmont Dance
Theatre Academy, its educational
work-
shops,
and its range
of yearly LDT shows
and community outreach programs
a mixture which Kingsley admits
may have been a little confusing to
the public, but now comes with a
unified image.
Thats also more important as the
non-profit ballet group has now
qualified to receive some of the $40
million in annual grants provided to
Front Range arts groups as part of
Colorados Scientific and Cultural
Facilities District program.
Our patrons have long said that
what we do is far and above what
you see in youth ballet in the entire
Front Range, but we realized that
we were only diving into one pool
for monetary donations family
and community sponsors, Kingsley
says. Rebranding as a professional,
ballet-focused company helps boost
the potential for SCFD and other
grants but could also ease the strain
on the wallets of our families, she
adds.
In the meantime, support from
Popular performances, such as the annual staging of The Nutcracker, will still be on the roster.

individuals and businesses including Stapp Interstate Toyota,
Chick-fil-A, Brown Shoes and Dr. Glenda Weeman, has been
critical to the ballet companys current and future success.
People may not realize it, but it takes about $50,000 to
mount a performance such as Coppelia, as we do a full
show with an orchestra and costumes, says Heidi Lawrence,
Centennial State Ballets marketing manager. Its always an
endeavor, and the challenge is to continue to seek out people
in the Boulder County community to build and support us.
The new name is a good way for us to reach out to people
who want to see us thrive and grow.
Along with the name change, Kingsley and Lawrence say
they also owe a big debt to Deb Craven and her design and
marketing students at Front Range Community College, who
helped create the ballet companys new logos and brochures.

ART SUMMER
ENJOY LONGMONTS CREATIVE COMMUNITY WITH THIS SUMMERS ARTWALK AND SECOND FRIDAYS
May-June 2016 LongmontMagazine.com LONGMONT MAGAZINE 15
BY EMMA CASTLEBERRY for LONGMONT MAGAZINE
Longmont residents will have abundant opportunities to celebrate the art scene this summer. Art lovers will find gal-
leries open late on the second Friday of every month, an event coordinated and organized by the Longmont Down-
town Development Authority (LDDA). No need for a calendar - the events date is in the name: Second Fridays.
Every event starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m. in the Downtown Longmont Creative District.

Another celebration of Long-
monts vibrant arts scene happens
only three times this summer and
on a much larger scale. For this
event, you might need to pull out
your calendar. ArtWalk Long-
mont 2016 will take over Main
Street literally on three
Saturdays this summer: May 21,
July 16 and September 17.
Kimberlee McKee, Executive
Director of the LDDA, says that
while Second Fridays and the
ArtWalk are different events, they
serve a similar purpose.
These type of events are all part
of our downtown creative district
and the different things that we
do to promote it, McKee says.
Although they are not run by the
same people, there is a strong group
that works on the collaboration and
all the different programming that is
happening in the district.
Joanne Kirves, Executive Director
of Arts Longmont and a 17 year
resident of the city, was part of the
inception of Second Fridays as an
organized event in 2001. Art galler-
ies began to collaborate, trying to
revitalize the arts scene and bring
more people downtown. They
realized they could cross-promote
their show openings because many
were hosting those events on the
same evening - the second Friday
of each month.
We felt like we could get more
people to come down for Second
Fridays if they knew they could go
to multiple gallery openings instead
of just one, Kirves says. Once we
started meeting about it, we decided
to get more formalized and call it
Second Fridays.
Now, as Executive Director of Arts
Longmont, Kirves still participates

ArtWalk patrons are treated to
special events and extended hours
at many galleries and other busi-
nesses downtown.

in the Second Friday event. The Arts
Longmont Gallery is open late for
visitors every second Friday of the
month.
Its an evening event that brings life
to downtown on Friday night, says
Kirves. Its an opportunity for the
community to meet the artists in the
show and see some new work.
Beyond the new art shows, Second
Fridays are a time to explore Long-
monts downtown restaurants and
shops and support the local econo-
my, says Kirves.
The more people that come down
and check out Second Fridays and
participate, more businesses will stay
open, she says. Wed love to see
more people come down to support
not just us but all the businesses
down here making Longmont a
unique place to live.
The Brew Creperie and Coffee Shop,
which normally closes at 5 p.m., is
one of many businesses that have ex-
tended hours during Second Fridays.
Since evenings arent something
we focus on normally, we try to do
something special to draw more
people in, says Jodi Parker, Owner
and Manager of The Brew.
In the past, The Brew has hosted
paint and sip classes and beer and
crepe pairings during Second Fridays.
They also have a rotating calendar of
artists work on their walls.
Often, Second Fridays have a theme.
The May 13 event will celebrate
Music, Art, and Youth month by
partnering with the St. Vrain Valley
School District to host student music
presentations and art displays.
On June 10th, Second Friday coin-
cides with the LDDAs Downtown
Concert Series. The band Thunk,
with the opening act Cat Jerky, will
be playing at the intersection of 4th
Avenue and Kimbark Street.
Whatever the theme at a Second
Friday, McKee says attendees enjoy
themselves.
We hear from people that there
have been a lot of changes down
here, says McKee. Any events that
we do are to make sure the whole
community is coming down to down-
town and finding favorites and new
reasons to come back and making it a
part of their daily habits and lives.
Brandy Coons, Executive Director
of ArtWalk Longmont, Inc., says
this purpose is shared by ArtWalk
Longmont.
Its a way to showcase our down-
town area, she says. ArtWalk serves
as a time and place for all our various
groups and interests and specialties
to come together and show off what
theyve been working on.
Since its beginning in 1996, ArtWalk
Longmont has grown and
Attending multiple gallery openings
in one night increases the con-
versation about art in Longmont.

transformed from a small
gallery hop to a large festival.
The first main change was
to close the streets for the
events, which was huge as
far as the theme of the event
goes, Coons says. At first it
was a gallery crawl and then
placing activities and musi-
cians outside turned it into
more of a festival.
One such activity will be
a series of group shows by the
LeftHand Artist Group, who will be
at Instant Imprints during the May
21 ArtWalk. The May event will also
include performances from several
student musical groups. At the July
16 ArtWalk, a childrens book author
and illustrator will be speaking at the
Used Book Emporium. Art instal-
lations will be available for viewing
throughout downtown, including a
partnership between LightOn Cre-
atives and the LDDA on display in
Stephens Plaza. LightOn Creatives
will also be organizing an activity for
each of the ArtWalks.
For every downtown business spon-
sor, theres an opportunity to create
something or check out a local artist
you may not have seen
before, Coons says.
The Longmont Theatre
will be at all three Art-
Walks, hosting a costume
photo booth and perfor-
mances by their singing
group, Standing Room
Only. Tracey Cravens, in
the marketing department
at Longmont Theatre, says
events like the ArtWalk and
Second Fridays are a big part
of Longmonts character.
Having community events like that
is what keeps Longmont feeling
like a small town even though were
pushing a hundred thousand peo-
ple, she says. That is part of the
charm of Longmont: that we still do
small town activities but were a very
large town.
ArtWalk and Second Fridays make for a fun
night on the town. (Photo courtesyLDDA.)

BURNING CAN
BEER FESTIVAL
Where:
Bohn Park, Lyons
When:
June 4, 3 - 10 p.m. (winding
down around 1 a.m.)
Speaking of Oskar Blues, the
brewery also has their very own
festival benefiting their non-profit,
The Candaid Foundation. Chad
Melis, the Marketing Director for
Oskar Blues, explained that the
festival is about more than just their
brew. Its not necessarily a focus on
beer, he said, but on a lifestyle.
Burning Can is put on in coop-
eration with the Lyons Outdoor
Games and will feature all kinds of
athletic events for weekend war-
riors.
Admission also comes with access
to a 3-hour beer sampling session
that will include not just Oskar
Blues offerings, but dozens of
other brewers, as well. Scheduled for
June 4, tickets are $45 now through
June 3, and will be $50 at the door.

RHYTHM ON THE RIVER
Where:
Rogers Grove, 220 Hover Rd.,
Longmont
When:
July 8- 9, 5 - 10 pm
Rhythm on the River has been a
local fixture for a couple of decades
now. This will be our twenty-first
year, Marty Page said. Page is a
Recreation Specialist for Longmont
and one of the events planners.
As she explained, this year she and
fellow coordinators are shaking
things up a bit. The festival tradi-
tionally centers on activities during
the day on Saturday. This year the
schedule will shift to Friday and Sat-
urday nights from 5-10 p.m. We felt
like it was a great opportunity to of-
fer Longmont something different,
she said. Theyre calling it Rhythm
Reversed.
There will still be plenty of live
music featured on two different
headline stages, as well as a host of
other activities like a craft and sip
experience held in the beer garden,
slacklining performances, an aerialist
act, and the annual 5K run which
will take place at night and will fea-
ture glow paint and black lights. On
top of all of that, theres stuff for
the kids, too, making the entire affair
super family friendly. Theres a little
bit of something for everybody,
Page said.
Admission, parking and even the
shuttle to and from the event are all
free. Rhythm on the River is sched-
uled for July 8-9.

events, the brewery is adding the summer music festival
to their already impressive High Five Event Series.
The festival will be held at Roosevelt Park on Saturday,
June 11, from 2-10 pm, and will include all the good
stuff youd expect at an outdoor music festival. The Left

BOULDER COUNTY FAIR
Where:
Boulder Country Fairgrounds,
9595 Nelson Rd., Longmont
When:
July 29 - August 7
10 a.m. - 10 p.m.
Nestled right in the middle of
the summer months, from July
29-August 7, is a long standing
local tradition. In fact, the Boul-
der County Fair holds a statewide
record. As Laura Boldt, the Boul-
der County Fair Coordinator, ex-
plained, Were the oldest county
fair in Colorado. 147 years!
Spotlight events for the fair
include everything from motor-
ized sports, like the NSPA Truck
and Tractor Pull, to a Pro Tour
rodeo, to more kid-friendly activi-
ties than you can shake a stick at.
Theres also an impressive lineup
of live music, including local
country western cover band,
Buckstein.
And the concerts arent the
only live entertainment. The
All Star Stunt Dogs will wow
audiences with all kinds of
canine feats of wonder for
five days. Not into animal
acts? How about the Yel-
low Designs Stunt Team, a
high-flying BMX bicycle-stunt
performance group? Theyll
be there, too, as will dozens of
other options.
Gate admission and parking
are both free, as are many of
the activities and performanc-
es, though some do require
tickets. The fairs website has
information on all the shows,
times and prices, and even
provides an easy way to pur-
chase tickets in advance.

FESTIVAL ON MAIN
Where: Main Street, Longmont
(Saturday- CreatOVATION off Main Street)
When: August 26- 27
(C. Nathan Pulley
Photography/City of
Longmont)
Kimberlee McKee, the Executive Director of the Long-
mont Downtown Development Authority, likens this
years Festival on Main to a coming of age milestone for
the event. This is kind of the transition of the festival
from childhood to maturity, she said. Festival on Main
turns 16 this year.
Its an end of summer downtown festival, McKee
said. We try to incorporate dancing, music, art, as well
as the businesses down here.
Everything kicks off on Friday night, August 26, with
live music, street performers and even fire dancers.
Main Street will be closed, giving festival goers total
access to the downtown hub where all the Friday night
activities will center.
On the following day, Main will be open again and the
activities will spread a bit, giving exposure to all of
downtown Longmont. Saturday also brings with it the
opportunity to engage in some playful competition.
There will be all kinds of fun contests for those inter-
ested in showing off their skills.
Its really a culmination of all the things people love
really reflective of Longmont, McKee said.
Festival on Main runs August 26-27, and attendance is
free.

adrenaline junkiesthe
kind we like to watch.
Whether youre a spec-
tator or competitor
one things for sure

new friends and have
ridiculous amounts

tainwhile sunrise yoga, slackline demos, and games for
the kids round out the day. The outdoor concert starts at
5 p.m., headliner to be announced.

ing is $20 per night, RVs,

this one says yes to pets.
So grab the leash and the
pooch.
If you get thirsty, con-
sider heading over to

Ave., in Lyons. There you

UNDERGROUND MUSIC SHOWCASE {UMS} JULY 28-31
LOCAL CLUBS IN HISTORIC BAKER NEIGHBORHOOD, DENVER
With over 400 bands headlining and 16 years pumping out epic tunes, UMS is consid-
ered the largest of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region. Because of its super pow-
ers, UMS undoubtedly pull fans off their frumpy couch, out of their Netflix-binge-
brain mode and into the real world. Not the typical outdoor music fest; bands descend
onto the local bar and club scene situated in Baker neighborhoodothers perform on
the main outdoor stage located at Security Service Credit Union parking lot, at 99 S.
Broadway.
The Main Stage is just one of many locations that make up the UMS.(UMS/Nikki Rae)

he first time a per-
former steps on stage,
faces the audience and
lets it rip is a crucible moment.
Its daunting. Nerves might sink
the effort, or courage could lead
to a triumphant outing. Any-
thing can happen! And thats
why a local open mic is the ideal
place to try out that song, that
poem, or that joke. The folks
who host, come out to support
the acts, and perform are often
among the most supportive
people in entertainment. They
remember their own first per-
formances, and they value the
art in their community.
Longmonts open mic scene
is flourishing, with regular
nights for song, comedy, and
poetry. Having spoken with
numerous organizers, I can
attest to their excitement
about the wealth of talent
- and fun - thats happening
right here.

Firehouse Art Center (fire-

Night began in autumn 2015 with a
handful of poets and has grown fast.
Christy Felton helps to host and
organize the event. She says the po-
etry night is a great way to hear the
voice of the community and make
new friends. Its a judgment-free
opportunity, a beautiful setting with
wonderful acoustics, an engaged
and interested audience, and quality
poems from a wide spectrum of
readers, she says. Our poets and
audiences check their egos at the
door and welcome one another in an
inspiring and inviting environment.
We are fortunate in that our audi-
ences are very respectful and there
is not a lot of cross talk and paper
shuffling while poets are sharing.
The hosts put out a signup sheet at
6:45, and the length of slots is based
on turnout. This is a night for origi-
nal poetry - your own work. Felton
says the popularity of the event
brings people who may not have
otherwise come by The Firehouse
Art Center right into the thick of
the shows and events, and allows
the word to spread about not only
poetry night, but other happenings
at Firehouse.

best friend laugh also work on a live
audience? It just might, and a local
comedy company provides the open
mic so you can find out!
Longmonts Bub Comedy (bubcom-
edy.com) produces comedy shows
with an emphasis on locally brewed
laughter and hopes to open a com-
edy club in downtown Longmont
this year. Their open mic, Barley Har
Har, happens at 300 Suns Brewing
(335 1st Ave., Unit C) twice a month
on first Fridays and third Thursdays.
An important detail: Sign up in ad-
vance at bubcomedy.com/open-mic-
sign-up and read up on the house
rules and expectations for comics.
Theoretically, the goal of comedy
open mics is to work out new jokes,
says Bub Comedy owner Emily
Andrews. Because of the size and
quality of our audience, however,
our show organically tends to en-
courage comics to have tighter sets.
While they often work on new mate-
rial, they interlace that with material
that is tried and true. Our comics
love this show and work really hard
to make sure everyone is having a
good time!

2015 in and around Longmont as

well as the first Longmont Laugh
Fest. This year they are set to double
the amount of shows and more
than triple the size and scope of the
festival. An open mic helps attract
new comics to the scene we are try-
ing to build and gives a consistent
source of comedy to Longmont
nightlife, Andrews explains. When
you can spend your evening laugh-
ing and drinking beer with two local
businesses, we are helping build
economy and culture right at home.
We also believe that comedy is for
everyone.
Jean Ditslear of 300 Suns Brew-
ing hosts Barley Har Har and is
happy that her venue can provide an
outlet for comedy. We love being
supportive of the comedians who
come in - and Bub Comedy - while
being able to give our customers
something a little different to enjoy
at their local brewery, she says. It
is always a surprise to hear a new
comic from the area who goes on
stage for the first time and kills it
with great talent. You dont have to
go to Denver for quality comedy.
PICKIN and Grinnin
Now this is cool. Longs Peak Pub
& Taphouse (mountainsunpub.
com, 600 Longs Peak Ave.) hosts an
open bluegrass pick from 7:30-
9:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Host
Eric Wiggs plays guitar and usually
is accompanied by an upright bass
player. Wiggs gets it rolling and the
musicians who turn up (all skill lev-
els welcome) join in and participate
in selecting the songs and soloing.
We host a bluegrass pick mostly
because bluegrass is huge in the
Boulder County area and has been
for many, many years, says Longs
Peak Pub assistant general manager
Chris Dodge. The area is filled
with so much amazing talent and
it is fun to see what becomes of
these Wednesday night jams. Who
knows, the next big thing may just
start right here at Longs Peak Pub.
The music brings in some folks that
might not have come in that night,
and that helps the venues bottom
line. But we are fans of music and
love that it brings the community
together, so that is really why we do
it.
This is YOUR SONG
Singers, songwriters,
and bands, theres room
for you, too! Music man
Brian Rezac hosts open
mics at The Speakeasy
(thespeakeasy.buzz, 301
Main St.) and Dickens
Opera House (dickensop-
erahouse.com, 300 Main
St.) on Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
and Thursdays at 7 p.m.,
respectively. Performers
should arrive to either
open mic about 15 min-
utes early to secure a slot.
Sarah Carrillo, owner of
The Speakeasy, says their open mic
has become a dependably good
night with lots of great talent.
Weve seen steady growth, and
we have a great crowd, she says.
Theres so much style out there,
especially with the younger crowd.
They blend their art forms, and we
appreciate when all the perform-
ers are welcoming to other artistic
expressions.
The Speakeasy is soon to kick off a
new Sunday Jam (first one on May
8), in which a house band featur-
ing piano, bass and drums will play
along with singers who arrive with a
song on their lips.
If youve never been upstairs at
Dickens Opera House to see a
performance on the grand stage, the
open mic is a wonderful time to do
so while supporting local talent. Its
a thrill for performers and audience
alike to see someone new take the
stage and sing out.
Theres not much I dont like about
open mics, says Brian Rezac. One
of the best aspects is community.
Open Mic nights provide entertainment that patrons might not have
a chance to see otherwise. (Tim Seibert/Longmont Magazine)
May-June 2016 LongmontMagazine.com LONGMONT MAGAZINE 43
People end up joining bands after showing up at an open
mic. Ive seen all kinds of stuff happen. This time in
Longmont is a perfect storm of music. A lot of kids are
getting into it, and there are more and more pro-music
restaurants and bars coming to town.
If youre nervous about performing at an open mic,
Rezac suggests you just come give it a try. Audiences
are overwhelmingly supportive for music, poetry, and
comedy, and theres no time like the present to make
your mark.

When I got a return call from Liz
Durfee, owner of Rabbit Brush Gal-
lery in Hygiene, she and her Austra-
lian Kelpie had just stepped out of a
run at a dog agility trial in Utah. Hi,
sorrywe were next in line for the
run when you called, she said with
an audible smile.
Over a crackly connection, Liz and I
spoke in between runs to chat about
her first loveartand how she
combines that with her business,
Rabbit Brush Gallery, while main-
taining a handful of hobbies and
interests on the side.
Lizs love for art started in college,
where she double-majored in studio
art and art history at CU Boulder.
During her college years, Liz worked
nights cooking in restaurants around
Boulder to help keep her lights on.
Cooking paid well and the hours
made sense for my schedule, Liz
said. Her culinary moonlighting
quickly became her career, and
post-college, Liz spent many years
as a professional chef, eventually
purchasing and running (whats now)
Hygienes Crane Hollow Cafe. For
a time, she also worked at Boulders
prestigious Maclaren
Markowitz Gallery until
its closure in 2004.
After about five years of
running Hygienes cafe,
the art bug bit Liz hard
again, and she was ready to return
to her original passion: art. She sold
the cafe and moved in next door,
taking up residence as the owner of
Hygienes only art gallery.
It took a while to get on peoples
radar, Liz said about opening Rab-
bit Brush in a small community like
Hygiene. It can be a bit of a field
trip for people to visit, but its such a
lovely drive.
Lucky for Liz, Hygiene is also a
popular biking and bird-watching
hotspot, which gets plenty of two-
and four-wheeled traffic in the
warmer months. But aside from the
incidental visitors, there are those
who seek out the gallery itself.
Word of mouth is terrific and

May-June 2016 LongmontMagazine.com LONGMONT MAGAZINE 45
supportivethere are
those who just drive
out to see us, often
coming from Boulder,
Longmont, Lyons, and
Berthoud.
And what visitors find
is a quaint, rural trove
of handmade treasures.
Open for over five
and a half years, the
gallery features 50+
artists from around
the United States (and
sometimes the world)
at any given time. The
mission at Rabbit
Brush Gallery is two-
fold: to supply artists with a sup-
portive environment for selling their
work, and to supply visitors with
one-of-a-kind pieces they wont find
anywhere else.
Artists are often under-supported,
so its important for me to offer a
place where they can sell their work,
Liz shared. That way, they can
concentrate on their craft and take
some of the stress out of marketing
themselves or constantly being on
the road, traveling to markets.
I love everything thats handmade
with care. These pieces of art were
someones dream, and I have the op-
portunity to help support that.
When sourcing art, Liz tries to stick
to Colorado and the surrounding ar-
eas, like Wyoming and Utah, but will
go broader to find the pieces that
really shine. Ive currently got two
Canadian artists, she offers. Most
importantly, Liz wants her artists to
be fairly rewarded for their work. If
I go overseas for items, they must be
fair-trade. I dont want the karma of
the stuff thats made in poor working
conditions. I want all artists featured
in the gallery to be treated fairly and
make a decent living wage.
And this proverbial hunt is one of
Lizs favorite parts of the job. When
asked what she was doing the last
time she looked at the clock and real-
ized shed lost all track of time, I
was surfing online for new items for
the gallery! Ill get an idea of what
I want, and then Ill go down that
road to find it. Her latest obsession?
Enamelware.
Lizs focus on community sup-
port doesnt stop with her carefully
chosen inventory. Each year, Rabbit
Brush Gallery chooses a local orga-
nization thats in need of funding,
and donates a portion of sales over
a particular weekend to that organi-
zation. Community is a vital part
of the business, and giving back is
important. This year, weve cho-
sen Colorado Horse Rescue as our
recipient, Liz said. In addition to
gifting a portion of sales, artists will
often donate artwork to be auctioned
off for the fundraiser.
On a typical day at Rabbit Brush
Gallery, youll find Liz wearing
multiple hats. On busy days shes up
front, chatting with customers about
the sourcing and stories behind Rab-
bit Brushs art and helping with sales.
On quieter days, shes working on
inventory and placing orders for new
items. Keeping up with paperwork
is a large part of what we do, Liz
laughed.
Paperwork aside, Lizs love for art
and community is woven into Rabbit
Brush Gallerys inviting atmosphere,
and she thrives on experiencing the
diversity of others artistic appre-
ciation. When people come in,
everyone has a different take on the
artwork, and everyones taste is valu-
able and correct.
And most importantly, Liz finds
an emotional connection with the
artwork she chooses, which is felt
by her customers. Art has a way of
drawing people in, and its important
to me to find both emotional and ar-
tistic value in the pieces I sell. I dont
think I could ever sell cars! she said
with a laugh.
Lizs goal is to make art easier for both patrons and artists. (Tim Seibert)
