'Solastalgic Archive'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Conceived by artist Nina Elder, the Solastalgic Archive holds materials that contextualize and give breadth to the experience of living and making in this time of accelerated change. The evolving archive of objects, images, and conceptual actions collects ephemera of memory, creation, forgetting, destruction, preciousness and transience offered by contributors. It is an evolving, changing, temporal entity that will continue to grow as it is enriched by additions connected to each host venue. Beginning in 2019 with more than 40 artists, and continuing to grow throughout it’s many showings, Elder invites fellow climate conscious artists, scholars and public intellectuals, as well as farmers, spiritual practitioners, indigenous leaders, and activists to contribute something that represents the “solastalgic”. Much like the practicalities of a traditional time capsule, each submission has had only one physical requirement: it must fit in a medium flat rate USPS postal box; boxes in which the exhibition’s objects continue to be carefully stored and moved from venue to venue. The Solastalgic Archive holds contributions from a vast array of people, each asked to consider what connects them to the passage time. Unlike other museum collections, the Solastalgic Archive holds deeply personal items as well as things that change or disappear over time. Harnessing solastalgia as the archives’ organizing principle, the collections exemplify transformation rather than permanence, fleeting relationships rather than immutable. By allowing emotions and ephemerality to displace institutional indifference and contrived eternities, this space enlivens the passage of time. Installed in GOCA’s Project Space, the Solastalgic Archive will evolve over the course of the exhibition…

'The Roommate'
Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO
"The Roommate" Mainstage By Jen Silverman February 12, 2026 – March 1, 2026 Details & Tickets Midwestern housewife Sharron never had a roommate before, but after her divorce she needs help to pay the bills. Enter brash New Yorker Robyn, who may or may not have some questionable reasons why she needed out of the city. This funny and deeply moving play—recently seen on Broadway starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow—examines the complexities that arise between two very different women and how they navigate changing senses of identity, relevance, and the possibility of reinvention.

'Whispers of the Wild'
Presented by Commonwheel Artists Co-op at Commonwheel Artists Co-op Manitou Springs, CO
Whispers of the Wild Featured Guest Artists: Daniel Logan Daniel began his artist career shortly after ending his time in the Air Force. He started by going to art school and earned his degree in Illustration which quickly gained him an appreciation for all styles of art. This appreciation turned into an eclectic love of painting in multiple styles. His paintings often display animals but he’s not afraid to venture into any subject, but one thing each of Daniel’s paintings does have is a unique story to tell. Web: https://daloartdesign.square.site/ IG:@daloartdesign https://www.instagram.com/daloartdesign/ Barry Greff Barry Steven Greff, (born Brooklyn, NY, 1957), was exposed to travel and photography as a child on family vacations.

Willie Barcena
Presented by Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers Colorado Springs, CO
Raucous, irreverent, and never politically correct, willie barcena is one of the sharpest minds in comedy. His universal material spans family, religion, race, sex, politics, and whatever else you aren’t supposed to talk about. His twelve tonight show appearances are among the most frequent for any comedian and by far the most for any latino comedian. A 20-year comedy veteran and road warrior, willie brings laughs and insights all over the world, including many shows for the troops stationed abroad. He has appeared on many tv shows including: “moesha,” “the wayans brothers,” and he was chosen to be the host of the popular si-tv production “latino laugh festival – the show.” His one-hour comedy central special received rave reviews, and he followed that up with a showtime special, and his latest special, now on netflix, shows willie is just getting better. Look out for willie’s next special, coming soon, and check him out on facebook and instagram to see new material and stay up on all things willie.
