Artist’s Talk and Demonstration with Kathy Mitchell-Garton

Artist Kathy Mitchell-Garton combines her fondness for Golden’s topography and landscape with her love of heirloom textiles and stitching to create artworks that explore the intersection of family, history, and place. Come hear more about her inspiration and gain insight into her artistic process in this artist’s talk and demonstration. Kathy will bring pieces from her stash of textiles and maps and demonstrate a few stitches. Museums always say ‘don’t touch’—this is your chance to get your hands on some beautiful textiles and stitching! Drop in anytime anytime between 1 and 2:30PM.

Amelia's Big Idea

Ten-year-old Amelia Smart wants to build a dog park. Her pet Gadget needs a safe place to play, but her big idea to transform Townville will take a lot of work! Along the way, Amelia needs help from the Mayor, the Librarian, Mr. Delivery, and others. Kids (suggested ages 4-12) learn about teamwork, community, and civic life through catchy songs and interactive fun. Warning: You might take some big ideas home with you.

Golden History: Who would want to?

42 Years Ago
This photo appeared in the March 9, 1982 Golden Transcript. The caption asked, "Who would want to?" in reference to the No Parking sign. It went on to say:

Common sense probably is sufficient, but the No Parking sign makes it official at the corner of 14th Street and Washington Avenue. If the sign isn't enough of a deterrent for motorists in search of a parking place, then Gordon Ramstetter powering a crawler-loader more than likely is. Ramstetter Excavating is tearing up the sidewalk and grading the site for a soon-to-be office building or condominiums.

Three tall, narrow rowhouse-type buildings with peaked roofs and 3-1/2 stories

The building(s) in question are still there, at the southwest corner of 14th and Washington--the long-time home of Higher Grounds Coffee, Truly BoHotique, and several other businesses and residences. The D & N Motel behind Mr. Ramstetter has since been incorporated into the architect's office next door.
