Twice each month, Longmont Food Rescue sets up a free to the public produce stand.
The event takes place on the second and fourth Sundays of each month with food donated from local grocers such as Whole Foods. This Sunday the nonprofit will set up at the Ed & Ruth Lehman YMCA at noon.
Fresh fruit, vegetables, prepared deli foods, dairy and bakery items are among the list of items that could be available. The options depend on the donations from the grocers that week, according to the Facebook post.
The event will last only an hour or until food supplies last.
Organizers ask that participants enter from Lashley Street, close to the Ninth Street intersection. Also, food is pre-bagged and will be brought to cars and bicycles in the line.
The Produce in the Parking Lot event does not require forms nor are participants required to answer any questions.

BETSY ANDERSON

EXHIBIT OPENING TICKETS: To insure the safety of our guests, timed tickets will be needed for the Exhibit Opening on April 9th.

With the multitude of narrative objects presented in this exhibit, Anderson centers the presence and perspective of women: through words, birds, and other allegorical imagery. While her figures call to mind the line and color work of Egon Schiele and various 20th century works influenced by ancient cave paintings and Jungian archetypes, their charm and strength lies in their particularly feminist perspective. Sometimes overt, as when she incorporates quotes and phrases by women writers. Or in the presentation of the whole space as a collection of softness and reflection, defying categorization.
South Gallery: Skyline VPA Academy
The VPA Academy is a visual and performing arts focused program at Skyline High School in Longmont, Colorado. In the Visual Arts Department the students explore a variety of 2D and 3D courses which may include drawing, painting, graphics, photography, ceramics, sculpture, and jewelry design. Each student initially explores a broad base across those areas and then selects a specific pathway of artistic development to pursue at progressively higher levels. Throughout their four years at Skyline the students also participate in extracurricular opportunities that include field trips, guest artist lectures, artist in residence programs, portfolio reviews, and a variety of exhibitions and contests. The culmination of their program is a Capstone presentation of their work. The works in this show reflect the personal explorations and artistic voice of each student.

Save the music with Mad Dog Blues
5-7 p.m. at Niwot Tavern
Socially distanced live music and great take-out food from the Niwot Tavern!
Mad Dog Friedman, harmonica player, musical innovator and founder of many popular Colorado blues acts over the years including King Comfort, Harmonica Loowinski, Papa Juke, the Mojo Medicine Show & Blue Lightning, has put together an acoustic blues jam band with a unique blues style indigenous to Colorado in the 21st Century while still honoring the blues roots. We call this music Colorado Country Blues because it combines the “Colorado Sound” (jam grass) with traditional rural blues. The result is Mad Dog Blues, a coalition of top-notch, veteran musicians dedicated to exploring this new sound in both their song writing and performances. Along with Mad Dog Friedman on harmonica, the Mad Dog Blues Experience (5 piece band) includes Jeff Becker (Hippie Buckaroos) on mandolin, Clark Chanslor (White Water Ramble) on stand-up bass, Sean Bennight (from St. Louis) on acoustic guitar and Mark Kaczorowski (Blues on the Lamb) on acoustic guitar. Big Willy Palmer and/or Doug Moldawsky (New Garden) often join us in various configurations including with the six-piece string band, the Mad Dog Blues Extravaganza. We hope you enjoy our original “Colorado Country Blues” sound, a unique fusion of delta blues, bluegrass, honky-tonk, hokum and acoustic jam music.
