Art, Trains, Movie in the Park, and Getting Ready for the Bike Race

This is a busy day at Foothills Art Center. From 12-1PM, they’ll be having their Art Book Club, discussing Girl with the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. At 5PM they’ll host a gallery walk, highlighting their Evolving Perceptions exhibit, led by juror Deborah Boschert. This is a good opportunity to learn about the selection process that happens before we ever see an exhibit!


1-2PM – Friday Tour (Locomotives) at the Railroad Museum
Each Friday, join us for an hour of exploring a different aspect of Colorado’s railroad history. Tours are subject to change and are based on guide availability. Each week’s theme is explored using a variety of museum resources to help bring the subject to life with the understanding that guests are welcome to continue their visit on their own after the tour.
