'Signs of Spring'
Presented by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio at Laura Reilly Studio Colorado Springs, CO
Warm or wintery, the signs of spring brings out the dramatic. Birdsong sounds louder as the sun rises. Tiny bulbs begin to peek out from a sprinkle of green in odd places. Indian Paintbrush is ready to bloom on high mountain hillsides. Trails start drying out enough to haul a plein air painting setup out without getting stuck in mud. Garden of the Gods feels fresh and revitalized. Winds and storms race around leaving the scent of budding leaves and dust in their wake. The mountain peaks are the last to shake off their snow, white melting away to reveal rocks and boulders amid twisted bushes and trees. Stop by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio from March 1st through the end of the month and enjoy boldly painted canvases that celebrate spring in the Rockies. This calendar listing is brought to you by Peak Radar, the Pikes Peak region's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Cultural Office of the Pikes Peak Region.

Raptors of Colorado
Presented by City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services at Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center Colorado Springs, CO
Have you ever wondered what makes falcons the fastest animals in the world? Can owls really turn their head all the way around? Birds of prey have fascinated humans for thousands of years and have been important symbols (both positive and negative) in cultures throughout the world. This program on raptors in Colorado will introduce participants to these fascinating animals by discussing their unique adaptations, their individual hunting strategies, and their conservation challenges. This program will take place on the second floor of the Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center. Please note that there are no live animals in this program.

'Sacred Roots: The Art of the Living Earth'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
From the Artist: In Sacred Roots, the symbiotic relationship between ancient heritage and the natural environment takes center stage. Drawing from centuries-old Indian art forms, this solo exhibition celebrates nature not as a backdrop, but as a primary protagonist. From the regal display of stylized peacocks to the fluid movements of aquatic life, each work serves as a testament to the belief that every living being carries an essential story. By bringing these earth-based traditions to a modern audience, the collection highlights a global yearning for harmony with our surroundings. The exhibition is a rhythmic dance of pattern and pigment, offering a meditative space where viewers can reconnect with the "Tree of Life" and the vibrant spirits of the animal kingdom. Through intricate linework and intentional geometry, these pieces translate the pulse of the natural world into a sophisticated, contemporary visual language.

'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.
