Art In The Park (thru OCT 17)
EXHIBIT & AUCTION
Trees devastated by the Cal-Wood Fire have been transformed into 35 beautiful, hand-made benches by Cal-Wood Education Center staff. Local artists have turned these benches into spectacular, one-of-a-kind art pieces for a special Colorado Chautauqua Art In The Park exhibit.
The benches are currently on display throughout Chautauqua’s historic campus. Each bench is also part of a virtual auction to raise funds for the participating artists, Colorado Chautauqua’s wildfire prevention efforts, and Cal-Wood Education Center’s ongoing wildfire recovery campaign.
The exhibit and virtual auction will be live from September 10 through October 17, the first anniversary of the Cal-Wood fire. Access the online auction here.
For more information, or if you are interested in sponsoring a bench, contact Director of Development Debbie Stewart at [email protected]. Bench sponsorships are $500 (sponsorship form). Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you know who might be interested in supporting this wonderful community event.

Ólafur Arnalds
Door Time: 6:30 PM
Showtime: 7:30 PM
Award-winning artist, composer and producer Ólafur Arnalds is back on the road following the release of his monumental album ‘some kind of peace’.
Ólafur’s performances continue to captivate audiences across the globe as he invites them to join him on a journey where he presents his most personal and raw music to date — being played live on stage for the first time ever. His haunting and often intensely emotional shows are an exercise in intimacy, a space for the artist and audience to share their vulnerability through music.
His tour in support of 2018’s ‘re:member’ was met with high critical acclaim. With more than 150 concerts Ólafur played to hundreds of thousands of fans and sold out some of the world’s most iconic concert halls such as the Royal Albert Hall, Elbphilharmonie and Sydney Opera House.
Ólafur and his team of fellow craftsmen and musicians put on a spellbinding performance that brings together past, present and new material. His groundbreaking, self-playing Stratus pianos will be along for the ride — creating unexpected harmonies and surprising melodic sequences that make every performance unique.
‘some kind of peace’ is an album about letting your guard down, remarkable in its openness and its honesty. In light of everything that has happened these shows will undoubtedly feel especially meaningful.
