Pueblo Artist Paints Portraits of Vets for Free
November 8, 2007 6:01 PM
Sunday is veterans day. There are a lot of ways to honor vets, and we bring you now the story of one artist's gesture. Sally Lincoln of Pueblo doesn't think that sitting for a portrait painted by an oil painter should be a privilege reserved for the rich and famous. Lately she's been going to the Veteran's Administration Nursing Home and Care Unit in Denver to paint portraits of the residents and patients there. No money is exchanged. Instead she just snaps a few photos of the painting and then gives it to the person who sat for it. The portraits have had a surprisingly emotional impact on the vets and the staff at the facility. Shanna Lewis reports.

Panty Liners as Art Cause Kerfuffle Downtown
October 12, 2007 5:35 PM

Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles
June 8, 2007 12:30 AM
In a musical tradition dominated by male groups, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles are true revolutionaries. Despite the pink charros and model-perfect looks, the women who form this group are outstanding musicians who have taken the mariachi genre by surprise with their creativity and skill. "La Reyna" came into existence through the auspices of the Mariachi Heritage Society, a non-profit organization established by Jose Hernandez, musical director of Los Angeles' renowned Mariachi Sol de Mexico. Ranging in ages from 13 to 34, the mujeres of Mariachi Reyna reflect a wide variety of mariachi and other musical influences, but all share a love of the uniquely Mexican music and its traditions. Sponsored by the Pike's Peak Library District 2007 World Music Series, the Summer Festival of the Arts, Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration and KRCC.
THE MUJERES OF MARIACHI REYNA WILL PERFORM A FREE CONCERT ON ARMSTRONG QUAD AT CC ON SATURDAY, JUNE 9TH AT 7PM. A FREE FAMILY FESTIVAL DAY THEN HAPPENS ON SUNDAY, JUNE 10 AT 2:30 PM IN THE PIKES PEAK CENTER. More information at 719-389-6607.
