Raptors of Colorado
Presented by City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services at Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center Colorado Springs, CO
Have you ever wondered what makes falcons the fastest animals in the world? Can owls really turn their head all the way around? Birds of prey have fascinated humans for thousands of years and have been important symbols (both positive and negative) in cultures throughout the world. This program on raptors in Colorado will introduce participants to these fascinating animals by discussing their unique adaptations, their individual hunting strategies, and their conservation challenges. This program will take place on the second floor of the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center. Please note that there are no live animals in this program.

Cottonwood Center for the Arts in partnership with the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region (COPPR) is thrilled to present a juried exhibition for the month of September: STRONGER TOGETHER. This installation features artworks created in response to an open call to the public celebrating the 20th anniversary of COPPR, underwritten by Herman Tiemens. This project was designed to foster a deeper connection between local creative organizations and local creatives, to benefit our community at large. As inspiration for this call, COPPR and Herman Tiemens selected a diverse spectrum of creative brands from our community as subject matter. We asked artists to create artworks honoring the ethos and unique character of their chosen organization(s), highlighting their vital role in our region’s cultural identity. Entries of all mediums and styles were accepted. This exhibition is sponsored by Purple Mountain Group at Morgan Stanley.
