"KOSAI" The Hue of Light
Presented by Commonwheel Artists Co-op at Commonwheel Artists Co-op Manitou Springs, CO
Kosai is a process of vapor work that was named to renowned potter Biz Littell's vapor glazing work. The vapor glazing process, unlike Raku, has proven to be archival. The brilliance doesn't fade with time. The name comes from Japanese master potter Chyako Hashimoto and means "hue of light". This Creekside Gallery show at Commonwheel highlights to the idea of KOSAI by showing media that is iridized breaking light into the vibrant spectrum of color we see in the pottery, glasswork, painting, feather work, kaleidoscopes, and photography brilliantly executed by the participating artists. Nitra Olsen: pottery Maggie Quinn (completed Biz Littell's Kosai master class): pottery Sabine Wachs: glass work Tylan Troyer: painting Teri Rowan: photography Julia Wright: feather work Alan and Nancy Lindenmier: glass kaleidoscopes "In this age of mechanization and cyberspace where we sometimes lose sight of the true vibrancy of our lives, our spirits, and even the natural world, Kosai serves to remind us of the spectacular colors that indeed do naturally exist in our universe and on our earth..... colors emphasized by understanding form, surface, and even the unique imperfections which ultimately becomes artistic expression." - Judith Carol Day, Laloba Ranch Clay Center This calendar listing is brought to you by Peak Radar, the Pikes Peak region's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region.

32nd Annual Emma Crawford Coffin Races
Presented by Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Visitor's Bureau & Office of Economic Development at Downtown Manitou Springs Manitou Springs, CO
Celebrate 32 years of racing at the Emma Crawford Coffin Races in Manitou Springs! In 1995, the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce launched the nation’s first ever coffin races to honor a beloved local resident, Emma Crawford. What began as a tribute has grown into a signature Manitou Springs tradition—which has inspired other coffin races across the country! The story dates back to 1889, when Emma Crawford arrived in Manitou Springs seeking relief from tuberculosis in the town’s famed mineral springs, fresh mountain air, and sunshine. Defying those who said she was too ill, she summited Red Mountain and tied her red scarf at the peak—later asking to be laid to rest there, forever overlooking the charming mountain community she had come to love. After her passing in 1891, her fiancé, Wilhelm Hildenbrand—a civil engineer with the Pikes Peak Cog Railway—fulfilled her final wish. Joined by 11 townspeople, he carried her coffin up the 7,200-foot slope to a gravesite near the summit. Decades later, in 1929, years of severe winters and heavy spring rains sent Emma’s coffin sliding down the mountainside. When local children discovered the remains, only the casket handles, a nameplate, and a few bones remained—cementing a legend that continues to inspire the annual races today.
