The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's historic triumphs and pioneering legacy are well known to millions, but the inspiring rocket launches, moon landings and planetary explorations also have had an impact on the imaginations of America's leading artists.
To commemorate NASA's 50th anniversary, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) has organized a national tour of NASA | ART: 50 Years of Exploration, featuring 73 works from the collections of NASA and the National Air and Space Museum. Ranging from the illustrative to the abstract, these rarely seen works communicate the accomplishments, setbacks, and sheer excitement of space exploration from its inception to the present.
NASA | ART will be at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center Dec. 19, 2009 - March 7, 2010, with an opening celebration on Friday, Dec. 18.
The exhibition is organized by SITES and NASA in cooperation with the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

Presented by St Patrick's Day Parade at Downtown Colorado Springs
March 13, 2010 - FREE
Wondering what to do on St. Patrick's Day in Colorado Springs? If you're looking for your Pot o' Gold at the end of the Rainbow and some Fun Stuff - you've found it! Colorado Springs has the best St. Patrick's Day Parade! And before the Parade even begins, there's the 5K on St. Patrick's Day along with a Leprechaun Fun Run along the Parade route. Throughout the years, a St. Patrick's Day celebration has honored this religious and Irish cultural celebration. Hundreds of marchers and spectators in their green bedecked finery, the bands and floats, the flags and music-and real (??) Leprechauns-highlight one of the grandest parades in our city that loves parades! The veneration in which the Irish have held Saint Patrick is evidenced by the salutation, still common today, "May God, Mary and Patrick bless you."
The St. Patrick's Day Parade is one of the most popular parades in Colorado Springs and the biggest event in the city! Last year over 30,000 spectators watched the St. Patrick's Day Parade as it marched through the heart of Colorado Springs to the sound of bagpipes and the cheers of families lining the streets. The combination of flags, floats, kids, and pipe band music made everyone smile and be Irish for a day. This year's Parade will be even better so you'll want to get there early for good viewing!

The Fine Arts Center will explore the concept of Conflict | Resolution, a multidisciplinary project within the FAC's three main areas of focus: visual arts, performing arts and education. Conflict is as personal as domestic abuse and as global as war. How do we find resolution? The FAC envisions examining these themes through art, such as the dramatic Arthur Miller play, All My Sons; a variety of visual national and international artists, including sculptor Chris Weed and Carlos Aguirre); plus Bemis classes, lectures and a film series.
These are themes that resonate in our community; this is a collective experience, so the FAC is partnering with many community organizations on this program, the World Affairs Council, S-CAP, Pikes Peak Behavior Health Group, and many more.
