Arapahoe Community College’s Colorado Gallery of the Arts will be virtual-only until at least January 2021. By going online to www.arapahoe.edu/campus-community/art-galleries, one can follow the prompts to various virtual galleries, including the annual ACC Art Instructor Show, which is said to last until January. Ceramics instructor Bob Smith, known for his expertise as an artist as well as for a particular skill in firing techniques, displays the “Saggar-fired Vase # 1” as well as several other lovely pieces. Works are for sale. Contact Gallery Director Trish Sangelo: trish.sangelo@arapahoe.edu. When I looked on Sept. 1, the Kaleidoscope exhibit was also available, though past termination date. It’s worth a look if still there! Also look for Across the Globe, and exhibit of works by Study Abroad students. Student work is displayed at Littleton Adventist Hospital.

Buntport Theater
Our favorite, Buntport Theater, is proposing a “Buntport Bored Post Society Society” to be developed with the usual joyful silliness we have come to expect. Limited membership. Details are in the works. Fans may want to check on progress at buntport.com. We will hope to report further. Buntport’s outdoor “Grasshoppers” performances sold out during the summer, and might be repeated — we hope.
