Director’s Note
Transformation is in the air, in our political system, in our eating habits and our health.
Transformation is a keystone of the cycle of life. From birth to death, we travel a continual
path of choice and change. That is the journey we will travel in this show. The past year has
experienced great migrations of people, a house divided, pandemics and terrorism, but it has
also been a year of marriage equality, humanity towards others, collaboration, transgender
acceptance and a collective coming together to make our world a better place. Carbondale
Council on Arts and Humanities (CCAH) works to make our small part of the world a better place, too. The dedication that so many put into this show translates into money for arts
education in our schools. Why is this important? In this day and age, it takes creativity to
succeed. The arts are proven to improve students’ test scores in core subjects and to teach
important 21st century skills like divergent thinking, critical analysis and bigger vision planning. So I must thank the models who I have had the pleasure to watch transform through our
experience together; the designers who make environmental choices in their art and lead the
way in helping to protect our earth; the dancers who rehearse for months to create movement
that makes us think; and the artists who create imagery that inspires us. The creative tribe in
the Roaring Fork Valley is strong. Thank you for being part of it!
Amy Kimberly
The Carbondale Council on Arts and Humanities builds
community through art. We do this every day through
our arts education programs, a top notch gallery,
a gift store (focusing on local arts and manufacturing), The Carbondale Creative District (empowering
economic development in our creative industries) and
The Launchpad (a home for creativity and community
events such as this show), plus Día de Los Muertos and
the Carbondale Mountain Fair. CCAH depends on
memberships, grants, donations and earned income to
provide our services. We hope you will join us in assuring there is access to art for all. www.carbondalearts.com
Are You An Art lover?
The R2 Art Gallery is pleased to announce our 2016
gallery exhibition schedule. We are so proud of the
caliber of artists that surround us in the Roaring Fork
Valley and we hope you will take the time to experience
this world-class art.

Transformations of
GITNB15
continued
from page 4
The incredible fashion lines, the professional hair and makeup, the runway, and
the high tech lighting and sound help to solidify the transformation as well. Photographer Beth White was so intrigued with the transformation that she decided
to capture it in 2015. She completed an impressive photo series of before and after
images of participating models, capturing the transformation. A selection of these
images are currently on display at The Launchpad (76 S. 4th St, Carbondale),
through March 25.
Tonight, as you watch the show, imagine the personal landscape of each of model
that walks the runway. There are moms, teachers, bankers, yoga instructors, forest
service employees, nurses, lifeguards, chefs, chiropractors, mixologists, architects,
farmers, high
school students,
an art installer,
a ranch hand,
and the list goes
on. Each of
these models
perform in the
fashion show
to experience a
transformation
from head to toe
that comes from
deep in the soul!
