Golden’s newest and highly anticipated public art piece, Rocky Mountain Hummer, will soon welcome visitors as they enter the S. Golden Rd at the Ulysses St roundabout near King Soopers. Metal sculptor, Don Kennell, was selected by the Public Art Commission (PAC) last fall to create a public art piece for this location.
An artist Meet and Greet event will be held on April 19 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Foothills Art Center located at 809 15th Street, in Golden. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet Kennell and learn about his inspiration and process for creating the Rocky Mountain Hummer sculpture through a short presentation.
The event is free to the public and light refreshments will be provided.
Enjoy a free evening of music on Friday, April 28, 7 p.m., in Bunker Auditorium in the Green Center at Colorado School of Mines. The night kicks off with performances from the concert choir and various guitar ensembles, and ends with a performance from the concert band.
In addition to great music, the night will include a raffle to raise money for the CSM band. Funds raised will go toward purchasing new instruments, repairing and maintaining current instruments in bad shape, section lesson coaches for the band and orchestra, and more.
You can purchase raffle tickets before the concert in the lobby, or ahead of time either on April 22 from 12-3 p.m. at the E-Days Carnival, or from tables set up in the Pedestrian Plaza in front of the Student Recreation Center on campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., April 24-28. For $1 each ticket, you can win small prizes such as cupcakes from Gold Mine Cupcakes, gift cards from Anthony’s pizza and Woody’s pizza, a Chick-Fil-A gift basket, and much more! You must be present to win these prizes. Also available are $2 tickets (or 3 tickets for $5) for larger prizes including 1) a free night stay and breakfast at the Omni Interlocken Resort and Spa, 2) 3 months of free martial arts classes from Victory Martial Arts in Golden, and 3) an “outdoors basket” including the earth treks climbing passes, free guided mountain tours from Golden Mountain Guides, and 2 free bike rentals from Bentgate Mountaineering. You needn’t be present to win the larger prizes.
Each of these events is open to Mines students, as well as Golden community members.
