SUMMARY:Museum on Main Street in Alamosa
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Humanities will tour “Crossroads: Change in Rural America\,” a Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS) exhibit to 10 Colorado communities August 2023 to December 2024. The exhibit takes a broad look at the characteristics of rural America\, how an attraction to and interaction with the land formed the basis of rural America\, and how these communities and small towns evolve. It also highlights how change has transformed rural America and how rural Americans are evolving for the future. \nThe exhibition in Alamosa opens at the San Luis Valley Museum\, 401 Hunt Ave #2658\, Alamosa\, CO 81101\, on October 16\, 2023 and will be on view through November 25\, 2023 before moving to the other communities. \nAbout “Crossroads: Change in Rural America” \n“Crossroads” explores how rural American communities changed in the 20th century. Currently\, most of the United States landscape remains rural with only 3.5% of the landmass considered urban. Since 1900\, the percentage of Americans living in rural areas dropped from 60% to 17%. The exhibition looks at that remarkable societal change and how rural Americans responded. \nAmericans have relied on rural crossroads for generations. These places where people gather to exchange goods\, services\, culture\, and engage in political and community discussions are an important part of our cultural fabric. Despite the massive economic and demographic impacts brought on by these changes\, America’s small towns continue to creatively focus on new opportunities for growth and development. \n‘Crossroads’ allows us to reflect on Alamosa\, Colorado’s history\, present and future and we are excited to explore what the future may hold for our community\,” said Jeff Myers\, San Luis Valley Museum Director. “We want to convene conversations about what makes our community unique and have developed a local exhibit\, public programs and facilitated conversations to complement the Smithsonian exhibition.” Please join us for the Grand Opening of the exhibit on October 20\, 2023 at 7 p.m.\, which will include an introduction to the exhibit from Keynote Speaker Dr. Ed Crowther. Other free events to welcome the start of the exhibit include a focus group to facilitate community conversations and a viewing of the film The Five States of Colorado on September 22 at 6 p.m.; another community conversation then film “Glenn Miller Orchestra” on September 29 at 6 p.m.; and a final community conversation then live performance from the “SLV Community Band” on October 6 at 6 p.m. All events will be held at the San Luis Valley Museum.

SUMMARY:Meet Gail Beaton!
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the great contributions that women made to World War II efforts and meet the character Gail Murphy\, a bullet case worker at the Denver Ordnance Plant\, in Gail Beaton’s portrayal of Colorado’s Rosie the Riveter! Rosie the Riveter is the name given to US women during World War II throughout the country who worked as welders\, bullet makers\, and at a wide variety of factory jobs vital for the war effort.  \nIn Chautauqua tradition\, Gail will first take questions as the character\, then answer questions as the scholar/actor.

SUMMARY:The Five States of Colorado Film Screening – Trinidad
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. Designed for a wide range of audiences from elementary school-age to adults\, this film addresses the history and issues within the five regions of Colorado to inform\, educate\, and serve as a basis for community discussion. Join us for an engaging exploration and illustration of the history\, culture\, concerns\, and needs of each of the five featured regions. \nThe film explores how in 1861\, the U.S. Congress carved Colorado’s boundaries representing no river\, mountain range\, tribe\, or language group to enclose five distinct areas that are now Southern Colorado\, Western Colorado\, the Eastern Plains\, the Front Range along the eastern face of the mountains\, and Metropolitan Denver. Each of these regions within the state’s man-made boundaries vastly differs in terms of populations\, communities\, cultures\, communications\, and economies that have evolved from their varied geography and histories. Community conversation following the screening. \nThis event is a great opportunity to learn about Colorado\, meet fellow movie enthusiasts\, and support our local community. Don’t miss out on this exciting event! \nThank you to our partner Corazon de Trinidad Creative District.

SUMMARY:John Giordanengo Speakers Bureau Presentation – Pueblo
DESCRIPTION:This talk\, based on John Giordanengo’s book\, Ecosystems as Models for Restoring Our Economies\, explores the elusive structure of a sustainable economy\, as informed by earth’s most resilient ecosystems. Ecosystems are masters of resilience\, enduring countless catastrophic events over the eons\, while building their resilience to future disturbance. How\, exactly\, do ecosystems accomplish this? What are the mysteries of their structure\, and what rules guide their management of resources\, energy\, and diversity? Are our economies similarly structured\, and beholden to the same rules?  If so\, how do we apply this knowledge to restore our economies to a sustainable state\, so we too may thrive in the face of future economic turmoil? \nRooted in three decades of research and work\, this talk proposes a path for restoring regional economies (such as Pueblo) to a healthy and resilient state\, capable of supporting human needs without jeopardizing the health of ecosystems we depend on for survival. If you believe nature cannot possibly hold the clues to understanding and restoring our economies\, may this talk (and the book) challenge you to think again. \nFree and open to the public.  Space limited\, so please arrive early to ensure a seat. \nThanks to the Pueblo Economic Development Corporation\, City of Pueblo\, Palmer Land Conservancy\, and CSU Pueblo for sponsoring this event.
