The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum will host a workshop performance of \u201cRACE the Opera<\/a>\u201d on Saturday, July 2, from 2-3 p.m. The opera is inspired by the story of Kelley Dolphus Stroud \u201931<\/a>, a Black runner who qualified for a 1928 U.S. Olympic tryout spot but was denied funding to travel to the trials.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Stroud graduated with a degree in political science and was the first Black student at CC to be elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Stroud was on the school\u2019s track team for all four years and was inducted into CC\u2019s Athletic Hall of Fame<\/a> in 2006. Stroud was the sole Black student at CC until his younger sister, Effie Stroud Frazier \u201931<\/a>, joined him the next year. Frazier was the third Black woman to ever graduate from CC. <\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The workshop performance is the first early presentation of \u201cRACE the Opera,\u201d where guests can meet the creative team behind the show and hear from members of the Stroud family. The entire opera will be shown in Colorado Springs in 2024.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The event is free, but pre-registration is required here<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

The Office of Campus Activities and Division of Student Life announces the new director of the Arts & Crafts Program. After a national search, Rebecca Parker has been hired to lead this well-established and beloved co-curricular program, located in the basement of Worner.<\/p>\n

Parker is an artist, educator, and administrator. Her creative practice takes many forms from ceramics to relational and socially engaged work to arts programming and administration in cultural organizations. She is passionate about spaces at the intersection of art, education, and community, and is interested in examining how trust, vulnerability, and risk-taking play a part in expanding personal growth.<\/p>\n

Prior to moving to Colorado Springs, Parker was the senior director of academic programs at Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists\u2019 Residency in Saugatuck, Mich., which is affiliated with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. During her seven years at Ox-Bow, Parker worked closely with faculty, visiting artists, artists-in-residence, and students to create programming and pedagogy that connected artists to the landscape as a site of community and experimentation. Parker received her Master of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut and B.F.A. in ceramics from Middle Tennessee State University. She continues to work as a practicing artist and is often found in the ceramic studio.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
