SOLD OUT: Needtobreathe
Presented by Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts at Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Legendary band, Three Dog Night, now in its 6th decade, claims some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group achieved more top 10 hits, move more records, or sold more concert tickets than Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night hits weave through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion pictures — songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize Three Dog Night’s continuing popularity.

'Colorado Nick: A Legacy of Tattoo Art in Colorado Springs'
Presented by Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum at Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum Colorado Springs, CO
About The Exhibit The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) is thrilled to announce the opening of Colorado Nick: A Legacy of Tattoo Art in Colorado Springs on Saturday, February 28, 2026. Housed in the AJ Smith Gallery on the CSPM’s third floor, this fascinating exhibit was developed in partnership with Scott and Kayla Boyer, founders of Yellow Beak Press, a publishing company based in Colorado Springs focused on preserving and promoting tattoo history. “This exhibit aims to bring the hidden history forward. The early tattooers featured here were key figures who shaped the craft in Colorado Springs, but their stories were scattered, forgotten, or never recorded at all,” stated by co-curator Scott Boyer. Featuring a vibrant range of tattoo art known as flash, tools of the trade, and stories highlighting the history and legacy of Colorado Nick along with a host of others, this unique exhibit highlights the little-known but important cultural history of tattooing. The CSPM in partnership with Scott and Kayla Boyer invite the community to celebrate this special exhibit opening from 10 am – 5 pm. Opening Schedule 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Live tattooing by Scott Huttenmaier and Nate Hudak (for a fee) Both artists will be offering selected designs featured in the exhibit and book Interested guests should contact the artists in advance via their Instagram accounts: @s.huttenmaier and @nate_hda Family-Friendly Activities (end at 4:00 p.m.) 2:00 p.m. Division I Courtroom Colorado Nick Presentation, Book Sale and Signing with tattoo historian Scott Boyer (special edition bags and…

'Clamour'
Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO
Contemporary Film, Video, and Sound: Maria Gaspar: "Clamour" In summer of 2021, the Cook County Department of Corrections began the demolition of two jail dormitories. The buildings, perhaps best known for housing the likes of Al Capone, were more than a hundred years old. The artist Maria Gaspar, who grew up in Little Village, the same neighborhood where the jail is located, documented the demolition and site restoration over the course of two years. She positioned her camera across the street from the project, fixing its view on the long concrete wall that marks the border between the jail and the residential neighborhood. The result is Clamour, which is sixty hours and twenty minutes in duration and captures one section of the building block being torn down, from start to finish. The extended run time of the video — which makes it effectively impossible to view in a single sitting — creates a tension between the persistence of carceral architecture and the possibility of resisting the logic it sustains. This tension is amplified by the scale of the institution itself. To this day, Cook County Jail remains the largest single-site jail in the United States, with an average daily population of approximately 9,000 people. The work’s collapsing of nine months of demolition, and a history that spans generations, offers a way to imagine the dismantling of structures that have shaped the lives of people both inside and outside the jail’s walls. As part of the exhibition, the public is invited to…

'Step, Repeat'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Pattern—an artistic, musical, literary, or mechanical repeating design or form—has been employed as an embellishment throughout the history of civilization, but it has achieved its own power and meaning in modern and postmodern art. No longer dismissed as ornament or ‘women’s work’, pattern can be abstracted, magnified, made into subject, or it can make a subversive statement in the hands of a contemporary artist. This call invited artists to submit works that use a repeated pattern as an intentional, essential element. All mediums were considered, previously exhibited works were not be accepted.
