I love talking to people about what Arts Longmont does in the community,
from our Arts Education programming to the Friday Afternoon Concerts &
Art Shows. I often get asked the following questions. So, are you fulltime?
No. How many staff do you have? Two part-time. This is usually followed by,
how do you do so much with so little staff? I could say that our staff has super
powers, but that just isn’t true (they’re awesome, just not supernatural).
Arts Longmont is able to achieve our “Incubate, Advocate and Inspire”
mantra in the community through our eight programs, thanks to our dedicated
volunteers, sponsors and individual supporters.
Did you know that we have over 450 volunteer opportunities a year? And
over 230 volunteers who fill those jobs. We have amazing business partners
and grant funders who contribute in-kind and cash donations to make our
programs thrive. And, as I like to say, the last piece of this amazing pie is the
individual supporter. The community member who believes in what we are
doing and values the programs we offer. An individual supporter contributes
at any level. No amount is too small and none too big. As we kick off our
Spring Drive (hopefully the snow is gone by the time this is in print), we are
asking YOU to become an individual supporter.
Did you know it only takes a $10 contribution???
In a community of almost 90,000, we only need
2,700 individuals to give $10 each and we will reach
our goal of raising $27,000 this Spring!
Together we can Incubate, Advocate & Inspire in this great community!
You can contribute online at ArtsLongmont.org, send a check to PO Box 208,
Longmont, CO 80502, or visit us in person at our office in the Arts Longmont
Gallery, 356 Main St in downtown Longmont’s Creative District. Help us make a real
difference through the arts in our community with your 100% tax-deductible gift.
Thank you for supporting Arts Longmont!

ARTS LONGMONT GALLERY 3
Arts Longmont Gallery
May to August
Glass Works - May/June – An exhibition of eight
local artists all working glass in many different styles
and using seven different methods. The exhibition
shines a light on the diversity of the medium and each
artist's interpretation, from the well known handblown
glass to the delicate art of flame working, as well as
glass painting and kiln fired. The featured artists include
Angelo Ambrosia, Bobbi Vischi, Tiffany Edwards, Ashton
Lacy Jones, Judy Batty, Tina Davis, Beth Johnson and
Erinn Diekman.
CreatOVATION - July – The resident artists
of the Arts Longmont Gallery take over the entire
gallery to showcase their latest work, including their
CreatOVATIONS. Artists were asked to infuse some
innovation into their art, try something
new and push their art to new limits.
FRESH 2016 - August
Kissed by a Cow:
Collaborating + Cultivating!
Late spring last year, the Firehouse
Art Center and Arts Longmont boards
of directors began formulating a
FRESH concept: an evening of arts,
music, culture and food different from
any before. At the time, both organizations embraced
the energy of collaboration, but neither could have
predicted the success that was only a few months away.
What started out as Arts Longmont’s celebration of 30
years in Longmont and a commemoration of the two
organizations' longevity became an event that was the
talk of the town. The boards’ inspiration rapidly turned
to planning, thanks to the design efforts of Debra Heiser,
coupled with the insatiable energy of the volunteers and
staff of both organizations. Many of the patrons from Arts
Longmont and the Firehouse found out the event was
sold out before it was even publicized. To everyone’s
surprise, it was the unimaginable. After listening to
feedback from a successful FRESH 2015, planning for
2016 began. The vision of FRESH 2016 is to cultivate
relationships between our agricultural and creative
communities through FRESH exhibitions, events and
programs.
What will 2016 bring? For starters, FRESH reserved
individual tickets for all of those who couldn’t get one
last year. This year will be a fresh take on last year’s
successful exhibition and fundraiser. The exhibition will
be featured in the Firehouse Art Center and the entire
Arts Longmont Gallery. Artists were asked to collaborate
with at least one other artist to tell the story of their farm.
"We are so excited to bring FRESH back in 2016. In our
second year, we now have the ability to truly develop a
program to cultivate relationships with farms and artists,”
said Firehouse Executive Director Jessica Kooiman
Parker. Fresh focuses on collaboration in every aspect.
The exhibition artists have formed teams of 2-10 artists
and are working with local farms to create outside of the
box projects and installations. “Through this collaboration
we want artists to push their boundaries, to learn from
each other and to utilize their individual skills to create
something large in scope and concept. As the artwork
develops our farmers have the unique opportunity to tell
their story and engage in our community in a new way,”
said Jessica. The exhibition will run August 19-September
24 with an opening reception on Friday, September 9.
The fundraiser on Saturday, August 20th will be at the
Roosevelt Park Pavilion. The Art to Farm to Table event
will feature art from local artists that is a Fresh take on
the farm, live music by the Silver Creek Fiddlers, tastings
from ten chefs, live and silent auctions.

6 ARTS EDUCATION
District Art Awards
10,000 pieces of Student Art!
By Joanne Kirves
When you think of the fairgrounds you don’t necessarily
think of an art show, but the St. Vrain Valley School
District’s art show “UnFramed” changed that perception
the moment you walked in the door. The burst of color is
the first thing that William Ross, Front Range Community
College art instructor, noticed. And with 10,000 pieces of
art to see it was a bit overwhelming, but with a little time
it was definitely worth it.
For the second year, Arts Longmont hosted the
District Art Awards to recognize and celebrate artistic
excellence in our schools. The jury panel included
professional artists Marc Hanson and Ani Espriella, FRCC
art instructor William Ross and Crackpots owner Tamar
Hendricks. From among the nearly 100 art pieces in the
preliminary round, the judges selected 1st, 2nd and 3rd
place winners in each of the following grade categories:
K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. Works by the 12 award winners were
exhibited at the Arts Longmont Gallery from April 22nd–
May 14th. Entries by the remaining preliminary round
winners were exhibited at various venues in Downtown
Longmont’s Creative District. The awards and downtown
exhibitions are very impactful for the community and the
students. The community has the opportunity to get a
glimpse of the creativity in our schools, and the students
are able to realize the final step in the creative process,
which is their art being seen. Visit ArtsLongmont.org for
the full list of winners.

THEATRE 7
Longmont’s Theatre
Scene Attracts
Patrons from Near
and Far
By Suzanne Frazier
Theatre in Longmont is alive and well according to
Tracy Cravens, Marketing Coordinator for the Longmont
Theatre Company, and Scott and Mary Lou Moore,
owners of Jesters Dinner Theatre. Both artistic troupes
have seen interest and enthusiasm for stage productions
grow over the years. Their audiences have expanded
from local patrons to families driving into town from other
places.
Longmont Theatre Company
In 2016, the Longmont Theatre Company will
celebrate a landmark achievement of producing shows
in Longmont for sixty years. The group started in 1957
and after several benefit projects for the Longmont
Hospital, the thespians became the Potpourri Players.
In 1991, the actors found a permanent home at the
former Trojan Theatre at 513 Main Street. Since then,
through fundraising efforts, the all-volunteer group has
renovated the theatre and renamed it the Longmont
Performing Arts Center, with the marquee lights ablaze
once again.
“What we have noticed lately is that people seem to
enjoy our more “edgy” productions. We have always
attracted good audiences for our musicals, but now
people are traveling from other towns to attend our
performances,” comments Tracy Cravens. “We are
diversifying beyond our stage productions and Summer
Children’s Program to include The Readers Theatre and
concerts. We would like to thank all the people who
have supported our performances over the years and
we invite anyone who is interested in theatre, either on
stage or backstage, to join us in keeping theatre alive in
Longmont.”
Jesters Dinner Theatre
This year, theatre managers and owners, Scott and
Mary Lou Moore, will celebrate 17 years presenting
musical productions at the Jesters Dinner Theatre at 224
Main Street. Mary Lou is the music director, accompanist
and costumer, while Scott manages the kitchen and
everything else.
“We call our dinner theatre ‘Jesters’ because the name
implies a place where everyone enjoys themselves, has
fun, and doesn’t take themselves too seriously,” Scott
Moore comments. “Our musicals include children, which
also draws the parents into the productions. We enjoy
mentoring the kids and giving them a place to explore
their creative expression.”
“Our space provides an intimate setting where
everyone in the room is not far from the stage and action.
All our musicals are family events,” Mary Lou adds.
“We have found that attendance at our performances
is as good as ever. We have a steady, consistent flow
of repeat patrons and new people are discovering the
theatre. The online ticketing has helped, especially with
people from out of the area being able to easily make a
reservation.”
Longmont is fortunate to have two theatre companies
on the north and south ends of downtown producing
shows on a regular basis. Our community and people
from outside the area support these two organizations.
Plan to attend performances at both venues. Jesters
is presenting “The Music Man” beginning in May, and
the Longmont Theater Company is staging “Cabaret.”
For more information, and to purchase tickets, go
to the theatre websites: JestersTheatre.com and

8 MUSIC
Live Music Scene
Thrives in Longmont
By Vince Winkel
On a cool spring Saturday evening in Longmont,
Skeye Brewing at the corner of Hover and Nelson Roads
is standing room only. The band is GetUrGoat, the crowd
is dancing, and the craft beer is flowing.
“We have so much amazing talent coming out of
Longmont, and people don’t know that. All just so
talented,” said Skeye Brewing owner Kami Malanowski
over the roar of the music. “Live bands Friday and
Saturday, and open mic on Tuesday,” she added.
There’s also music at Wibby Brewing on this particular
evening, as well as 300 Suns and Grossen Bart, and
on Main Street at Samples World Bistro and The Roost.
Welcome to the Longmont of 2016.
Kenny Peralez, guitarist for GetUrGoat and Cat Jerky,
gives beer part of the credit for the growth of the music
scene here.
“My impression is that the Longmont music scene is
thriving in large part due to the emergence of microbreweries in recent years,” he said. Also, several new
restaurants and bars, such as Bin 46, Still Cellars,
Rosalee's Pizzeria, Oskar Blues HMLS, Cyclehops, Chub
Burger and The Roost – they are all good music venues.
I moved to Longmont in April of 2000 and began playing
local venues with Cat Jerky in 2001,” Kenny explained.
“Back then, the music scene was more bar-oriented.
Venues included Group Therapy at 17th & Main, Cheers
(now the Speakeasy), and The Lefthand Tap House (now
The Roost).”
And of course, the City of Longmont has grown as
well. Today, Longmont’s population stands at around
96,000. That’s almost double what it was in 1990 at
51,000, according to the U.S. Census.
“There are a lot more people living in the area now.
And it seems like there are a lot more talented musicians
in the area,” Kenny added. “Although, it could be that the
increase in venues has allowed more musicians to creep
out of the basement or garage and into the light, so to
speak. As a musician, I do hope the scene continues to
grow.”
“When I moved here in 2001, I had not played a gig for
about 11 years and was not really looking to do so. The
music scene was pretty lame,” recalls Denny Driscoll, a
Longmont musician who plays all over Boulder County.
“Today, most of the music scene is directly sponsored
by other businesses to help draw people that support
their businesses.
Over the last four or five years there has been an
incredible economic boom in Longmont based on, I
think, the general location, access and related costs of
living, doing business, natural beauty, low crime and so
on,” Denny continued. “It’s a good family place. Along
with that add eight other breweries and a dozen or so
restaurants that sponsor local music at a living wage that
encourages professionals and you get an environment
that incubates the skills and talents that are required to
create a viable music scene.”
City leaders have also played a role in the tremendous
expansion of the music and arts scene here. “When we
adopted the Arts and Entertainment District plan in 2011,
increased music options was the number one goal for
the community,” explained Kimberlee McKee, executive
director of the Longmont Downtown Development
Authority. “Our downtown businesses took this to heart.
Now, there are almost 15 places to choose from that offer
live music. From open mic nights to recording sessions
and everything in between, Downtown Longmont has a
very active live music scene.”
It’s a music scene that is inclusive of newcomers as
well, not just the established local artists. That’s how
Sandra Jean MacDougall views it.
“As a transplanted singer/songwriter, I feel a great
appreciation for the vibe of the local music scene,”
Sandra said. “It is vibrant and expanding as a result
of the open arms of fellow musicians and people
who create their art albeit in music, visual or even the
creation of food. As a new kid on the scene (one year of
playing out) I feel an incredible amount of support. I am
blessed to be a part of this burgeoning community. The

notice and book gigs for those artists if they can. We
can speak from personal experience here, actually.”
The growth in music and the other arts has in turn
been a boon for local restaurants, especially those in
the downtown area.
“I am enjoying the music scene in Longmont and
the diversity with a lot of new artists coming from all
parts of the front range,” said Candy Campbell, who
last year opened Bin 46, a wine bar and restaurant
formerly known as Modena, on Longs Peak Avenue.
“We're very fortunate to have a number of venues and
patios to catch some great new talent. The community
is very receptive and we are quickly becoming an
exciting destination for food, wine, beer and spirits

Longmont Symphony Celebrates 50
By Peter Alexander
CONDUCTOR ROBERT OLSON, PHOTO BY KEITH BOBO, PHOTOGRAPH MAESTRO
The Longmont Symphony Orchestra (LSO) has come a long way
in 50 years.
Now a leader among Longmont’s cultural organizations, the LSO
gave its first tentative concert April 5, 1966. Musicians had been
recruited locally. The price of tickets was $1.50, and Walter Birkedahl,
orchestra director at Longmont High, led the players through Sibelius’
Finlandia and a suite from Bizet’s Carmen, among other works.
This was an entirely amateur community orchestra, and their
performance was, the Times-Call reported, a “successful adventure,
well received.” The following fall, in October 1966, the orchestra
launched its first full season of four concerts.
Since then, the orchestra, budget, staff, volunteers, audience and
repertoire have all grown. This year’s upcoming 50th anniversary
season will feature a dozen performances as well as school outreach
programs and a young artists’ competition. Section leaders are now
paid, the orchestra has the means to bring in first-rate soloists, and
the repertoire has expanded to include most classical masterworks.
Today’s LSO has earned its place in the spotlight.
An important milestone came in 1983 when the orchestra hired
Robert Olson as music director. He replaced Leo Meyer, who had
played clarinet on that first concert and was director for 12 years.

years of Great Music and Growth
Olson brought a dedication to teaching and conducting
to the position, which he has now held for 33 years—
more than half the orchestra’s life.
Olson gave his last concert as music director in
April. In the fall, he will conduct the opening concert
of the anniversary season and the annual Nutcracker
performances. Four other concerts will be conducted by
finalists vying to take over the position of music director.
“I’m very, very proud of what we’ve done over the
three decades,” Olson says. “Our skill level was pretty
basic in the beginning.”
Early on, he scheduled Stravinsky’s Firebird, which
has some real complexities for the players. “At the first
rehearsal I took one measure at a time,” Olson recalls.
“That’s how we worked our way very laboriously through
the variation movement.”
Compare that to the past few seasons, when Olson
has programmed orchestral showpieces including
Firebird (again), Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition,
Elgar’s Enigma Variations and Rimsky-Korsakov’s
Scheherazade—none of them requiring measure-bymeasure rehearsal.
Olson’s thoughtful leadership is one thing that made
such progress possible. For example, he made it a point
to bring in good soloists for the orchestra to work with
and learn from. “The orchestra became really proud of
that, and they also learned how to accompany really
well,” he says.
One of the soloists that has been a regular with the
orchestra has been pianist Larry Graham, a front-range
legend who has played with just about every orchestra in
the region. He played on Olson’s very first concert with
the LSO, in October 1983, and returned as recently as
Dec. 2009 to play Brahms’s First Piano Concerto.
In addition to the soloists, collaborations with
outstanding organizations including the Longmont
Chorale and the Colorado Mormon Chorale have been
part of Olson’s musical strategy.
Olson says he has grown along with the orchestra. For
example, one of the LSO’s milestones was a performance
of Verdi’s Requiem that was presented in Longmont and
Denver. Before that, he says, “I took great pride in being
a real clear technical conductor."
“After the performance, one of the musicians came
up to me and said, ‘That was just the most inspiring
experience of my life.’ And it hit me, who cares that I’m a

clear conductor? It has nothing to do with making music.
And that was a major turning point in my life.”
Another reason for the orchestra’s improvement has
been the number of quality musicians settling in the front
range area.
“There are a lot of good players
who come to the area,” Olson says.
“They love it, so they stay. And that
has greatly helped all orchestras,
and ours as well.”
Not that it’s always been smooth sailing
for the LSO. In the early years, there was the
time that a performance of the 1812 Overture
left holes in the brand new Longmont High
School gym floor. Meyer recalled that he
once started conducting the Russian Easter
Overture when the orchestra was playing
The Star Spangled Banner.
Olson recalls one time he decided to
program a piece just because he wanted to
conduct it. “I decided to do Shostakovich’s
First Symphony,” he says. “I loved the piece
and I thought, ‘What the heck. It doesn’t
seem too hard to me!’ But it was way too
early for the development of the orchestra
to do that piece.
“In the only time in my 33 years with the orchestra, a member
of the board said to me after the concert, ‘Please don’t do
anything like that again.’ And she was right to say that, because
the performance was not worthy of being on the concert.”
But such stumbles have been rare, and support for the
orchestra has been unflagging. “I’ve just been blessed with
wonderful boards over the years,” Olson says, and a glance
at the list of orchestra contributors shows the breadth of
community support as well.
With the next 50 years beckoning, now’s the time to
keep your eyes on the orchestra. The 2016–17 season and
the four music director candidates will soon be posted on
LongmontSymphony.org
Where will they go next?

DOWNTOWN LONGMONT CREATIVE DISTRICT 15
Festival on Main
catches the
CreatOVATION!
By Kimberlee McKee
Festival on Main is Longmont’s signature community
event that marks the end of summer. Tens of thousands
of people come to downtown Longmont’s Creative
District to celebrate. Last year was the 15th year and
start of new planning for 2016. The Longmont Downtown
Development Authority (LDDA) wanted to maintain the
community spirit of the event but infuse it with something
fresh, and thus was born CreatOVATION!
Over the past few months, the LDDA had talked a lot
about creatOVATION. But what we realized is that the
concept is something you need to see to believe!
The new approach to Festival on Main will include
a new logo, look and concept. Festival on Main (like
creatOVATION) will become the place where creativity
and innovation collide. This will result in the coolest popup playground around! We will invite the community to
come play, create, experience and have fun, then the
event will end with varied “Feats of Creativity!” Did you
find your passion? Develop a new one? Are you sure you
cannot be beat? All will be invited to compete in their
favorite Feat of Creativity.
Play won’t just be a two-day endeavor in the Creative
District, either. Right now, Light On Creatives are hard
at work creating “Play the Plaza.” Beginning in May, St.
Stephen’s Plaza will be transformed into a play plaza for
the whole community. Stroll through Candy Lane and
visit all the play stations! Sit and enjoy seven new games
on the tabletops. Still ready for play? Visit all three east
breezeways for more fun games! Play is the universal
language–come one, come all, come play!
We are calling on the artists and other creatives in our
community to come PLAY WITH US! How can YOU get
involved?
Be Original: Perform original music,
recite a poem, show your latest creation in an
interactive way.
Calling all Street Performers: We need
performances, spontaneous acts of art, comiccon- inspired performers!
Create an interactive game.
New to showcasing your talents? Become a
“Hidden Creative Unveiled” inside a Downtown
Business.
Create a Feat of Creativity.
Transform your car into a work of art and
cruise around the district.
Volunteer to make it all come to life.
Come PLAY – August 26 & 27.
The time to commit is NOW! Visit
www.downtownlongmont.com or
e-mail ldda@longmontcolorado.gov
to let us know you are IN.
