Mountian Village's CoolSculpt 2010

The Mountain Village 2010 CoolSculpt was just this past weekend and the Ah Haa School for the Arts invaded it! Represented by the staff, Rachel, Lauren, Kathleen, Colin and Laura and under the direction and inspiration of local artist Jared David Paul, Team Ah Haa, went retro and created a giant space invader! Waiting for the results today!

This 1st Annual Ah Haa Winter Gala was a huge success. Held on New Year's Eve at the School, this years featured artist, Bruce A Gómez, adorned the walls of the Daniel Tucker Gallery with his stunning and tranquil work. Work the reminds us all why we love Telluride. New and old friends of the Ah Haa put their best foot forward and were wined and dined beginning with a Champagne Reception and Raw Bar followed by a four course sit down dinner. Bruce and the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art kindly donated one original work as well as one private commissioned piece that were auctioned during dinner. A selection of fine wine was available during the evenings silent auction. Glasses and much appreciated funds were raised to the Ah Haa and the beginning of 2010!

Cheers to a new decade and all the creative adventures to come!

Have you heard about the Killer Cycle Vests by Doom aka Steve Fassbinder?

When I saw my friend Lloyd wearing his handmade vest by Doom, I knew I wanted one.  Little did I know that I could actually create it myself in this upcoming workshop with Doom next Saturday, December 19 at the Ah Haa.  Not only do they look awesome, but they are waterproof and breathable for so many outdoor activities!  Such a great item to walk away with and it's only a one day class!  Check out previously made vests at www.republicofdoom.com.

You may sign up for this class by calling (970) 728-3886 or online at www.ahhaa.org!

Hope to see ya there!
