Take a Moment

In many traditions, this time of year is a special time, when the veil between worlds is at its most sheer. Eldorado Springs Art Center (ESAC) and Open Studios invite you to acknowledge your own memories and passages by co-creating an All Souls Day altar at ESAC, 8 Chesebro Way in Eldorado Springs, Sunday, Nov. 1st, 2020, from noon to 5 pm.

Bring items to leave there that you do not need returned – copies of photos, words, poetry, flowers . . . We will provide candles and sacred space. Social distancing and masks required, please.

Outdoor Art Reception at ESAC

ESAC invites you to a reception Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1st & Nov. 2nd, 2020, noon to 5 each day, in their Sculpture Garden, featuring the work of Collen Nyanhongo from Zimbabwe. The name Zimbabwe means “large house of stone.” Collen comes from a family of Zimbabwe artists, and learned to sculpt from his father, Claude Nyanhongo. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Claude helped create the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement, the most prominent art form to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. Collen has spent the past several months as artist in residence at ESAC.

He works in hard stone like springstone, serpentine and Lepidolite, often shipping stone from Zimbabwe to the locations where he works around the world. His art has been honored in his native Zimbabwe, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Australia, Holland, England, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa and the United States.
