The artistic creations of area elementary school students will be on display at Shadow Mountain Gallery beginning Friday.

Most of the works are two-dimensional, said Don Fairchild, coordinator for the 20th annual school art show at the gallery.

Teachers at each of the participating schools have selected six to eight art pieces created by students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

If you tuned in for the Super Bowl halftime show, you got an eyeful of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers, an iconic male quartet from the 1990s and 2000s, are famous for their frenetic on-stage persona and a funk-rock vibe. True fans of the band, however, appreciate their tight vocal harmonies.

Evergreen artist Carmon Slater is exhibiting a retrospective of his work at the Lakewood Cultural Center, and is part of a show at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden.

MANifestations, opening at the Quilt Museum on Feb. 7 from 5 to 8:30 p.m., is the 12th biennial exhibit of quilts made by men and is a national juried competition. Slater’s piece celebrates the Colorado autumn and features an unusual combination with fused glass.

The Evergreen Chorale enriches our lives each holiday season with music and wonder. Last year audiences were treated to performances of Handel’s “Messiah.” This year, the Chorale is changing things up with a holiday performance that’s a little less serious and, one might say, a little more brassy. This year the Chorale has forged a collaboration with Rocky Mountain BrassWorks to present “A Holiday Fantasy,” which opens Dec. 13.
