Welcome to the first issue of our ninth year of the
Longmont Council for the Arts’ ARTEnthusiast. Inside
you’ll find everything from our all-inclusive arts and
entertainment calendar to the life and diverse artistic and
musical talents of featured artist Ani Espriella to new artists in residence in downtown Longmont. And don’t miss
the amazing line-up of all new exhibitions at the Muse
Gallery as well as the opening of House Concerts in
February that will showcase everything from Negro Spirituals to Celtic music.
The new year brings new energy and fresh ideas to impel the LCA into
a successful future. I am thrilled to announce the inauguration of our new
Executive Committee. Our new president, Donna Schult,Vice President Business Banking Group, Chase Bank, takes the helm. Vice President Peggy
Bruns cofounded the Rocky Mountain Center for Musical Arts. Darren Klotz,
an expert in sales and marketing, will be our treasurer. Both Bruns and Klotz
are new to the Executive Committee. Jeff Simcock, an event management
expert, is our secretary and rounds out the team.
Continuing their terms as directors are Mary McCoy, Debra Heiser,
Nicolle Pratt, Erin Miller, Marcelo Fernandez, and Camille Rendall. We bid
farewell to outgoing board members Debbie Adams, Barb Dingwall and Justine
Witherspoon and thank them for their valuable service.
The Longmont Council for the Arts has come a long way. Twenty-nine
years ago, our humble beginnings brought you Artists in Residence and Friday
Afternoon Concerts and Art Shows. Since then we’ve worked to provide you
with a pool of incredible local talent in Longmont as well as showcase national
artists in the Muse Gallery’s WestEnd. This year brings with it a journey to
formalize the Council’s strategic plan for the short and long term and plot out
our collective creative future. We hope that you will join us in upcoming focus
groups, surveys or participating in a volunteer task force. Your time will help
sculpt the future of the arts in Longmont today and beyond. As Patti Burton
said in the article on page 14, “By volunteering, artists can shape the downtown into what they want. Instead of waiting for the district to be created,
make yourself a part of it,and the opportunities will come.” Together we can
shape the future of our great artistic community.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON
CONCERTS OFFER
VARIETY, ARTISTRY,
SIZZLE!
by Peggy Bru ns
What do Bach,
jazzy brass, and
Zimbabwean marimbas have in common? They’ll all be
featured in the exciting array of upcoming Friday
Afternoon Concerts at the Longmont Senior Center!
The LCA continues its season of world class concerts
and engaging visual art exhibits, showcasing some of the
outstanding and varied talent that exists along Colorado’s
front range.
On February 21, hear three engaging classical musicians who have each appeared on the FAC series before,
though not together as a trio. Musical Offerings for
Three is an inventive program featuring violinist Barbara
Barber, flutist Cobus du Toit, and pianist David Korevaar,
performing works from J.S. Bach to contemporary
composers. These musicians have earned international
acclaim—don’t miss this opportunity to hear them in
Longmont! The featured guest artist will be accomplished
bird photographer, Ron Willocks.
The March 21st concert features the Denver Brass
Quintet, appearing for their first time on this series.
Hear the glory of brass within a fun, appealing mix of
Americana, jazz standards, and classical repertoire. Included
in this group is Longmont resident Cami Kidwell-Dodge,
a longtime member of the Denver Brass, and principal
trumpet of the Longmont Symphony Orchestra. Painter
and pastel artist, Ani Espriella, will be the featured artist.
If you’ve never experienced the electrifying combination of Zimbabwean marimba music performed by
highly talented, energetic teens, the April 18th concert is a
“must-see” event! This concert will feature the Kutandara
Center’s top teen performing groups, Shamwari and
Tamba! Mixed media landscape painter, Kathleen Reilly,
will be the guest artist. AE

NARRATIVE FORMS
PAINTINGS, SCULPTURE & METALWORK BY DAMON & JESSICA MOHL
b y S u z a n n e Fr a z i e r
Everyone loves a good story, and art presents a sense
of narrative for the viewer, through various media and
from unique perspectives.
The current exhibition in the WESTend gallery,
featuring the work of Damon and Jessica Mohl, presents
four ways narrative can be expressed through painting,
sculpture, dioramas and jewelry. The two artists explore a
range of approaches that meditate on the idea of storytelling: how stories are conveyed and how they are presented.
Damon Mohl’s large-scale representational paintings
and smaller sculptural viewing devices tell different stories
in different ways. The paintings depict ambiguous scenes
with characters frozen in time, offering a story line indicating that something happened just before the viewer
looked at the painting, and that something will happen
after the viewer leaves.
With the sculptural viewing devices, there is another
approach to presenting a story through a miniature diorama world, complete with audio and mechanical movement, asking the viewer to peer into an environment that
seems to have a sense of veiled secrecy. Juxtaposed next
to the large paintings, the miniatures invite the viewer to
investigate a different narrative experience.
“I am fascinated by the creative journey that occurs
when one idea opens up, builds, informs and complements.
It is ultimately this revelatory journey that keeps me intensely dedicated to the idea of making art,” Damon writes.
Jessica Mohl’s delicate silver and copper sculptures
and botanical jewelry present another storytelling perspective that is in counterpoint to Damon’s work. The
small metal sculptures are without characters or environments; instead they stand alone, presenting a storyline of
birth and decay occurring simultaneously, offering the
viewer a quiet, slow, internal microscopic investigation
into the organic processes that surround all of our stories.
Jessica's botanically-inspired jewelry features sensual,
dramatic, wearable pieces that present yet another story
line of how we adorn ourselves with stories.
“Botanical forms are not only beautiful, they are
intriguing. How things grow is exciting and mysterious;
it is miraculous. The process of forming metal itself mimics the process of growth, and when working, I become
a catalyst enabling the creation of something new,” Jessica
writes.
Both artists present their personal inquiries into the
mystery and wonder of life, and invite the viewer to join
them in their presentation of experiences and thoughts
that cannot be easily explained, rationalized or quantified.
The exhibition presents imaginatively-transportive
works of art. AE

EXPERIENTIAL ART
The Full Art Experience.
The Whole Art
Experience.
by Joa nne Ki rves
Flagstaff Academy, a Longmont Charter school, is
known for integrating inquiry-based science and forward thinking technology with the Core Knowledge
Sequence. Their motto
is “Where science and
imagination take flight.”
Flagstaff Academy’s art
program serves as a great
example of how the arts
augment and amplify not
only the arts important
role in schools, but also
highlights how it can
elevate programs like science and technology.
Kyle Sumnicht, art
teacher at Flagstaff, studied the Fine Art masters
as he prepared to become
an Art Educator. But it
wasn’t until his first long
term substitute position that he saw the potential of what
art education could be. He began to consider, and then
proposed, a kind of situational expression and outlet by
placing students in certain historical or creative contexts.
What if he could, for example, take students back in time
to experience art in prehistoric times (not literally, mind
you, but imaginatively) and then challenge them to create, say, ancient pictographs or cave art? The result was an
entirely new way of teaching.
Beginning in 2007, Kyle began Flagstaff ’s “Discover
Program, the experiential based art program” that is fully
integrated into the schools core curriculum. K5 students
all experience a different aspect of art from a particular
period in time. There are six units and each year is a new
experience. In 2013, students at Flagstaff completed the
Viking Unit. Kindergarteners created Norse Weavings
while learning about their primary colors and patterns.
Fourth graders can be seen around school wearing necklaces with the Viking coins they created using a metal
casting process from the Vikings. And what better way
to experience the Vikings than a large Viking ship in the
school.
Kyle has worked very hard to create an art program
that the students love and an experience that compliments
what they learn in their other classes. Kyle credits the
administration’s support, where they encourage teachers
to dream big and then find a way to make it happen. The
student’s art will be showcased February2-28 at the Winot
Coffee shop, 7960 Niwot Road, Niwot . There will be an
opening on Friday, February 7th from 6-7:30pm. Kyle
hopes this exhibition will be a way to get the word out
about Flagstaff ’s very unique art program. AE

“I am fascinated by the play of light. The dappled light of the sun
dancing through a tree’s canopy of leaves cast shadows falling
against stone. The way the sun burns the sky while turning behind
the mountains. What I feel about what I see, that is what I strive to
capture in my painting.”

“Fused glass allows me to express my love for color, light, texture
and composition. I am filled with great inspiration from the natural,
subtle beauty of the plains of Colorado where I live. The layers of
light and the rich textures of the fields and river constantly spark my
imagination with their energy. I love fitting the glass pieces together
to create a fused glass design. Although the pieces are solid, they
convey movement and energy with the changing light.”
REY FORD painting
“When I pick up the brush, I step into the unknown. Every painting
is an evolution, a process of discovery that asks me to trust the mystery of seeing. Wholeness is there, gratefulness is there--painting is
what feeds my soul. It teaches me how to live.” DIANE WOOD painting
“I am a representational artist inspired daily by what I see. Whatever
the scene, I intuitively transpose the mood and the feeling to my
canvas and the image comes alive with color and excitement. If the
viewer feels this same inspiration, then I am completely gratified
with my accomplishment.” AE

If your passion in high school is sports, art or music,
chances are there is a class or an afterschool program
to meet your needs. But what if your passion is dance?
Dance requires several hours of dancing every day to
stay competitive. In order to follow this passion, high
school students must set aside most of their regular high
school activities, friends and family. Unfortunately, few
high school programs help the committed high school
age dancer.
Enter Kristin Kingsley and Stephanie Tuley.
Two years ago, a conversation began about how to
address the issue of balancing high school students’ commitment to dance and the long hours that come with
it. Kristin Kingsley (Artistic Director and Founder of
Longmont Dance Theatre) and Stephanie Tuley (Program
Coordinator and Faculty) were concerned about the
dancers’ late nights, exhaustion, and burn out. The more
intensive dance program included dancing several hours
each day. Students would come to class for several hours
after school, then head home for dinner and homework,
translating into very late nights. There wasn’t time for
family, school activities and non-dance friends.
Sometimes great ideas and programs start with great
questions. The two women asked themselves, “What if
students could come here during the day and take dance
lessons as an elective, and then have after school to be
typical students?”
Kingsley and Tuley approached the principal at Silver
Creek High School, Erick Finnestead, with the idea that
students could leave school a block period early and come
to the Longmont Dance Theatre (LDT) to take dance
classes as part of a pre-professional/collegiate dance program. To their surprise, Finnestead was not only excited
about the program but he was ready to get it moving.
The pilot program started with eight students in
2012. Students leave before their last block and go to LDT
from 1:15 – 4:30pm for ballet, pointe, modern dance
classes, Zumba, yoga and Essentrics.The non-dance classes
provide a balance for the students by strengthening them
in other areas. The curriculum also includes a
lecture series on costumes and nutrition.
The goal of the program
is to provide students
the opportunity to study
dance as an elective and
still be an active part of their
school community and family. Students in
the program prepare for two additional annual
shows in October and February.
This school year there are 27 students in the
program from a variety of schools, and 30 students are
expected next year. The Pre-Collegiate program provides students in Longmont and surrounding areas the
opportunity to pursue their passion and create a balance
between dance, family and friends. “High school students
can become experts in something they love and continue
to interact with their peers,” said Tuley. Students in the
program range from those who want to pursue a professional career to those who want to be engineers, but love
to dance. Longmont benefits with two additional ballet
shows per year, more dance in the community, and the
development of students who are driven to not just do
well in dance but excel academically. AE

When applied to an artist or their work, consummate

through long apprenticeships and refining their craft as a

Perhaps few other local artists fill the word’s multiple definitions like Ani Espriella, a truly gifted creative
professional who is not limited by medium or message.
Musician at age six, photographer by sixteen. Painter at
age…well, let’s just say since 2006.
“I don’t like to pigeonhole myself, that’s for sure,”
Espriella says, smiling.
Like any good artist, Espriella is a storyteller first.
Hers is quite an odyssey.
10
LO N G M O NT C O U N C I L FO R TH E ARTS ART E NTH U S IAST F E B-MAR 2014
Born in Cartagena, Columbia, Espriella moved with
her family to Miami, Florida, when she was quite young.
Even at an early age, she aspired to create, at first through
music. “My family was all very musical. I have three sisters,
and we were always singing and playing guitar together.
And our neighbor from our duplex, Gloria Estefan, was
in a band with them called the Ladybugs.”
Yes, that Gloria Estefan.
Naturally, this enthusiasm for music was contagious
with her, so Espriella formed her own band: the DingDong Sisters (“Probably not the best name,” she says,
shaking her head and rolling her eyes) in the fifth grade.
From those auspicious beginnings, she continued to pur-
sue music both professionally and avocationally through
high school and into college, including a second place finish in the 1994 “Star Search.” Her former group, Pangea,
has been performing for over twenty years together with
just a few lineup changes over that time. Espriella no
longer tours with them, of course. But she can tell you of
when she and Pangea were asked to perform for a postHBO special wrap party for a little rock group out of
England: the Rolling Stones.
Yes, those Rolling Stones. Seeing a pattern here?
Now, after ten years of not playing or performing,
Ani is re-emerging as a musician to the delight of audiences all over Boulder County. She sings and plays guitar
at local venues like St. Julien’s (Boulder) with Sol Quatro
(jazz, bosso nova, and more) and the Cheese Importers
(Longmont) with Acoustic Harmony.
And while music became Espriella’s first and, perhaps,
most significant natural creative outlet, it certainly wasn’t
the last.
“Oh, I’ve been taking photographs professionally
since I was sixteen,” she says. “I was hired by my sister to
be the photographer on a cruise ship she was working
on.” Indeed, her “exposures” would lead to more exposure
to the art world in the form of the continental masters
when she traveled by ship to the Mediterranean and other
European destinations. She credits these trips with helping
her develop her eye, the ability to handle a camera, and
work in a darkroom, while also allowing her to tour the
great museums of the art world.
Now she credits the Boulder Daily Camera and
Visit Longmont (formerly Longmont Area Visitor’s
Association) among the many customers of her photo-
graphic work. Her pictures typically feature a Western U.S.
flavor or element to them, indicative of the love she has for
Colorado and the southwest, a state she moved to in 2003.
Sometimes, though not frequently, these photos become
sources for Espriella’s paintings and pastels – though most
are examples of fine photos in their own right. More often
than not, she prefers to work plein air when painting, with
a group of local artist friends that were recently dubbed
the “Crane Hollow Painters.”
“I’ve always been interested in the visual arts. I’ve
been drawing since I was a child,” Espriella explains. “But
after we moved here (in 2003), I decided to get more serious about it. A trip to the Denver Art Museum was all it
took to rekindle that interest.”
Shortly after that trip, Espriella enrolled in a painting
class at the Longmont Free University and hasn’t looked
back. Since 2005, Espriella has been actively learning
and training as a visual artist, studying artistic methods
under renowned local artist, Jake Gaedtke for, for over
five years. A multifaceted visual artist, Espriella excels at
both drawing and painting in oils, but she now treats
drawing and painting as “distinct and separate” exercises
in the visual arts – one does not necessarily feed the
other.You will also find her working in the (cont. pg 12)

sometimes-maligned media of pastels. “I love working in
pastels,” she explains, “because it combines the rigors of
drawing with the vividness of painting.” She still considers herself an “experimenter” rather than a stylist with a
signature method. “I’m always learning,” she says, “and I
believe I may have a few things to teach as well. Someday.”
When asked what she likes about being an artist in
Longmont, the answer is not so much about a “where”
but several “whos.”
“Oh, I really admire some of the artists I’ve been
privileged to work with and learn from. Artists like John
Taft, Elizabeth Robbins, Jeff Legg, Chuck Ceraso, Mark
Hanson,” she says. “It’s a seemingly endless list. And the
art environment in Longmont is so supportive and the
fellow artists are not competitive at all.” Striking a Three
Musketeers chord, she says, “When one succeeds, we all
do.” I guess kind of like, say, a band of musicians might.
“But Longmont is exploding in the arts,” she says. “It
is a great time and place to be an artist.”
So if you see Ani out performing, or taking pictures,
or painting, you will find yourself in the rare company of
a truly consummate – and consumed – creative artist, in
every sense of the words.
Ani Espriella’s work appears at the Muse Gallery
in downtown Longmont and at the Mary Williams Gallery

Adoption of the Longmont Arts & Entertainment
District plan in 2011 has made a tremendous impact
on downtown and its revitalization. As part of
the new mixed used development project at the
corner of Longs Peak Avenue and Main Street,
the Longmont Downtown Development Authority
(LDDA) invested in artist studios to be built into the
project, along with 115 residential units and 10,000
sq. ft. of retail and a parking structure. In October,
a focus group was held with more than 40 artists to
gain input and gather information for the art studios.
A lively discussion and survey addressed artists’ fears
and the types of barriers artists experience when
implementing the business of art.
Currently, a plan is being developed that will
include subsidized rent, business development services and assistance for creatives to overcome barriers
and invest in their own spaces in the A&E District in
the future. Applications are being finalized, and there
will be up to three creatives that will share this space.
Although there is an extensive list of activities, organizations and businesses in the district, the
goal is to have visitors be closer to the creative process. By creating art spaces at a storefront level, the
district is making a strong statement about the arts
in Longmont.
We are thrilled with the recent energy in the
district with new galleries and artists, including
John Taft Studio, aHa Gallery and Kay Carol and
Priscila Working Artist Studio on Main Street.
Any artist interested in the spaces at Longs Peak
and Main space should contact the LDDA at
[email protected]. The project is
expected to open in February. AE

DOWNTOWN NOW HOME
TO FOUR MORE ARTISTS
by Joa nne Ki rves a nd Anne E. Sc hm i d
With more than 200 artists making Longmont their
home, and many more artists from surrounding communities moving here thanks to our dynamic art scene,
downtown is emerging as Longmont’s creative hub, in
perfect alignment with one of the key missions of the
Arts & Entertainment District committees. Here we look
at four unique artists: Patti Burton, Gary Markowitz, John
Taft and Marcelo Fernandez. All had unique needs and
desires and claimed downtown for their careers. If you
are an artist in search of studio space, perhaps their stories
will inspire you.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: GARY MARKOWITZ, PATTI BURTON AND JOHN TAFT
Rabid Rabits Galaria features a retail store and the
working studio of jeweler Patti Burton. While Rabid
Rabits is not new to downtown (their original location
was on Kimbark Street), moving to 319 Main Street was
a spontaneous but strategic decision that proved to be a
good one. Last summer, Patti and her husband Steve were
seriously considering leaving Longmont. When her husband went looking for a shoe repair shop and ended up
in the wrong place, he discovered that the space would
soon become available. The decision to move was made
and together they created a space for Patti to work and
an eclectic gallery representing more than 30 artists. Patti
is adamant about the role of artists in the implementation
of the Arts & Entertainment District. “There are a lot of
opportunities to volunteer and join a committee,” said
Burton. “By volunteering, artists can shape the downtown
into what they want. Instead of waiting for the district to
be created, make yourself a part of it, and the opportunities will come.”

To say Gary Markowitz has led a fascinating
life as an artist and publisher would be an incredible
understatement. But, after traveling the world, Markowitz
chose to return to Colorado to be close to family. He
scoured spaces in Boulder County and (cont. pg 14)

nearly wound up in Lafayette when he turned his attentions to Longmont and a second floor space at 338 Main
Street. “In the past, I’ve been represented by galleries, but
I wanted something different, a live-work space. I like the
community here and the plan for downtown,” he said.
“And downtown gives you extra exposure.”
Markowitz was further encouraged by Burton and
local painter Gaynor Nelson. The space he leased was in
serious need of renovation, so he stripped it down to bare
bones and created studio and gallery space with a distinctly Bohemian flair. It is now fully operational and hosts
not only Markowitz’s Rothko-inspired abstract paintings,
but also the art of other cutting edge artists. He plans to
hold professional workshops and painting classes regularly
this year. “This [renovation] has been my art project for a
while, now it’s time to get back to painting,” he said.
After a weekend retreat in Salida, accomplished landscape painter John Taft made a long overdue decision.
His converted garage studio was too limited, especially
for his professional clients to view his work. He needed
a showcase, but his criteria were distinctly different from
those of Burton and Markowitz. He was in search of
something more private for uninterrupted daily work,
but with availability to host guests during 2nd Fridays,
studio tours as well as private viewings. After a discussion
he, too, had with Patti Burton, he called Joanne Kirves,
Executive Director of the Longmont Council for the
Arts and Kimberlee McKee of the Longmont Downtown
Development Authority (LDDA). “When I heard from
Joanne that John Taft was interested in the A&E District, I
was thrilled at the prospect of having his wealth of talent
downtown,” said McKee.
Taft chose a spacious studio with grand skylights at
525 Third Avenue and an entrance on Main Street. “As
soon as we saw this space, things came together very
quickly,” said Taft. The Longmont Council for the Arts
provided a mini-grant for the installation of wood floor-

LO N G M O NT C O U N C I L FO R TH E ARTS ART E NTH U S IAST F E B-MAR 2014
ing in his studio space. “I’ve always been a part of the
artist community, but I’m excited about being part of the
downtown community,” he said.
Having once worked for the LDDA, Marcelo
Fernandez understood the need for affordable studio
and teaching space in Longmont. An artist himself,
Fernandez was also longing to devote more time to his
own creativity. So, when the Quilter’s Studio at 364 Main
Street closed, Fernandez saw an opportunity. He and his
partner Tony Camp reside in the apartment above the
space and opted to lease it. The new Kay Carol Gallery
and Priscilla Working Artist Studio is now the home
of four artist studio spaces, gallery space, a music room
and workshop space. Fernandez himself has taken up
residency along with a four other artists ranging from a
tattoo to multimedia artists. Last year, he hosted the Front
Range Community College Art Club show, and the
workshop space was completely rented shortly after his
opening. “This is my neighborhood, I walk everywhere,
shop downtown, and my vision is to create a place where
people can come to be inspired.” he said.
If you are an artist in search of studio or gallery space,
downtown might just be the place for you. Start by calling
Joanne Kirves at 303-678-7869 or Kimberlee McKee at
303-651-8483. AE

1 STAGE + 12 GRAND PIANOS + 250 STUDENTS =
SATURDAY, MARCH 1
Every year, the Annual Multiple Piano Festival is hosted by the Boulder
Area Music Teachers Association (BAMTA), and 2013 was no exception.
On November 23, Longmont’s Vance Brand Auditorium was the site of the
28th annual festival for its tenth year. The Annual Multiple Piano Festival is a
Boulder County favorite.
By the numbers, the event has 250 students of all ages and abilities participating each year who perform, announce the pieces, and provide artwork for
the program. Of the participants, 90 students and eight of the 30 teachers are
from Longmont. And the stage is packed with 12 (!) grand pianos.
Carol Wickham Revier and Laura Boniek started the Multiple Piano
Festival 29 years ago. The first concerts were small, with performances at
Chris Finger Pianos in Niwot, and then grew to auditoriums at Boulder High
School and Niwot High School.Vance Brand Auditorium, which can accommodate their audience of 850, is the Festival’s current home.
The Festival has enjoyed much support from area businesses, including
Boulder Piano Gallery, Joe Woods Piano, Rockley Music Center and the Piano
Technicians Guild. The CU-Boulder College of Music allows students to use
their keyboard lab for rehearsals. It is an amazing feat to see so much come
together each year. Proceeds from the concert benefit the BAMTA scholarship
fund, helping deserving students pay for music lessons. AE
