The CU Art Museum at the University of Colorado Boulder opens the largest faculty exhibition to date on Friday, Jan. 21, at 10 a.m.
The exhibition will feature the work of 22 faculty artists from the department of art and art history and will be displayed through several galleries in the museum’s state-of-the-art facilities in the CU-Boulder Visual Arts Complex.
Works will be presented in an array of media, including video and sound installation, painting, photography, ceramics, digital arts, printmaking, sculpture, and mixed-media/site-specific installation.
“This exhibition allows the campus and broader community an opportunity to experience and enjoy the dynamic artistic accomplishments of a faculty that comprises one of the largest art programs in the West,” said Lisa Tamiris Becker, director of the CU Art Museum. “It highlights the breadth and range of conceptual and aesthetic approaches practiced in our art and art history department.”
The exhibition also marks the return of a valued tradition on campus. The last major faculty show was held in 2007.
Located in the cultural heart of the campus, the CU Art Museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays until 7 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. Parking is available in the nearby Euclid Avenue parking garage.

Alert! Crocus sticks head out of ground in North Boulder Home Spring has sprung
Jan 18th
Boulder Colorado In the sunshine front yard of a north Boulder home a single crocus stuck it’s head above the soil signaling the beginning of spring in this idyllic hamlet beneath the flat irons. ” I was taking out the garbage this moring about 10:30…….you know those plastic containers on wheels. It’s Tuesday and the garbageman always comes on Tuesday said the resident who asked to remain anonymous. ( Boulder Channel one does not release name of gardeners or birders so they do not become the victims of ridicule) “
I looked down at one of my planting areas and there was a very faint touch of green. I knelt and looked closer, getting ready to pull a weed……….and wait….Oh My God ! it was a Crocus!! Imagine my surprise and it’s only January 18″, the home guardian said.

Though mid January does seem a bit early for Boulder, it is more typical than not. Crocus will continue to pop up and will be full bloom in March.
