 | Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
In May of 2009, the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History will open a new exhibition entitled Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes.
Presented in three iterations of 20-30 Navajo textiles each, the
exhibit will showcase the breadth and depth of the Museum's Joe Ben
Wheat Southwestern Textile Collection, considered to be one of the
world's best collections of Navajo textiles.
A full slate of public and school programming will accompany
the exhibit, including a grand opening event; hands-on workshops for
adults, parents and children; guided tours; movie showings featuring
movies with Navajo directors, producers, and actors; and programs and
demonstrations on natural dyes and textile conservation.
Judy M. Newland, Faculty Associate and Exhibit Developer at the Arizona
State University Museum of Anthropology is the Guest Curator for the
exhibition. |

 | Holiday Festival ($)
4:00 PM - 6:00 PM
It's hard to pick just one reason that the CU-Boulder Holiday Festival sells out every year. Some longtime concertgoers mention the lively program of favorite seasonal music while others love the festive holiday decorations in Macky Auditorium. Whatever your reason for loving the Holiday Festival, the College of Music's choirs, orchestra, ensembles, and faculty soloists invite you to share this joyous celebration with family and friends. |
 | A Christmas Carol
7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
If you think A Christmas Carol is an old chestnut…if you think audiences can’t be thrilled anew by the greatest of all ghost stories…think again. In this adaptation by The Foothill Theatre Company and Philip C. Sneed, the story’s the thing that makes Scrooge, Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future come alive. It’s a tale of how isolation and self-interest withers the soul—a trajectory that can be reversed and redeemed only by embracing and contributing to the greater good.
