When the artist is the art Circus Foundry performers cultivate love for the arts at annual ARTSWEEK GOLDEN festival BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Art is creation. It is the act of bringing to life something that likely didn’t exist before and may never exist again. And while some works of art are tangible pieces that one can take home and hang on a wall or set on a shelf, in the case of the performing arts, the artists themselves are the art. That special connection between artists and audience was tangible June 19 at the Golden Mill, as 16 Circus Foundry aerialists, acrobats and other performers showcased their athletic and artistic talents during the Foothills Art Center’s sixth annual ARTSWEEK GOLDEN. The June 17-23 festival featured dozens of artists across all types of media, from painters to performing artists. FAC was scheduled to end the weeklong celebration with a juried arts showcase June 22-23 outside its new Astor House campus. SEE FESTIVAL, P2
