Arts news, in two parts: Colorado’s first-of-its-kind law allowing artists to form corporations has been passed by the full General Assembly and now awaits Gov. @jaredpolis ’ signature. So, what’s next? A whole lot of figuring things out. What kind of artist is this most meant to benefit? Here to help. And from my understanding, if you’re a band (like Horse Bitch @horsebitch_____ ), a commercial artist (like @detour303 or @patmilbery ), or a maker of collaborative stories (like @controlgroupproductions ), you owe it to yourself to check it out.
And, the roundup: Boulder Museum Of Contemporary Art @bmoca names new artistic director … The @railbenders christen newest Soiled Dove in Cherry Creek (with video) … Arts economy impact in Colorado Springs … Bright Eyes’ @brighteyesofficial monumental rant at @redrocksco … Candy Brown @candy.brown.90260 goes to Washington … Jessi Whitten @itsjessiwhitten comes home to @indie1023 . … @langhorneslim drops in on @goosetowntavernbbq . That and more in the @denvergazette .

Real talk: Not every family needs summer camp for full-time childcare.
AND sometimes kids just need something that’s theirs too — a chance to create, socialize, build confidence, try new things, and have a little independence from their parents (gasp!) during summer. ☀️🎨
And honestly? Parents benefit from that reset too. 😅
That’s one of the reasons I really love Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art’s Young Artists at Work Summer Camps. The half-day options feel like such a sweet spot for families who may not need full-day care but know everyone tends to do better with a little structure, creativity, and space built into summer.
I previewed part of the program earlier this year and was so impressed by how thoughtful and attentive the instructors were with the kids. Plus, getting to go to camp inside a museum feels pretty magical.
✨ Half-day AM + PM options
✨ Small camper-to-teacher ratio
✨ Outdoor breaks on the lawn
✨ Mini Exhibition on the last day
✨ Themes like Art Olympics + Eco Arts
📣 Camps are currently discounted to $250/week through THIS SATURDAY 5/16 (then prices return to $275).
Ages 6–11 | Weekly camps throughout June

Opening Reception for Tres Voces, Un Corazón
Summer Exhibition
Tres Voces, Un Corazón brings together distinct practices by three members of one family—Sylvia Montero, Tony Ortega, and their son, Cipriano Ortega. Celebrating both their collaborations and individual perspectives, the exhibition explores how identity, cultural memory, and artistic language are formed, challenged, and carried forward within a shared but evolving lineage.
