SUMMARY:Light & Shadow: An evening of shadow puppetry and live poetry
DESCRIPTION:Come to Shadowcliff for an evening of improvised performance. FireTale Productions\, a Kansas City-based shadow puppet theater co-founded by Ritu Nanos and Mikal Shapiro\, will weave movement and form in response to poetry spoken live by visual artist and writer José Faus. \nFireTale’s work draws on oral tradition and cultural myth to explore what it means to be human in relationship to the living world. José Faus brings a practice rooted in community\, language\, and the catalytic role of artists in public life. Together\, they offer an evening that is both intimate and expansive. A reminder that storytelling is alive\, generous\, and capable of surprise. \nThis performance is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing José Faus\, Ritu Nanos\, and Mikal Shapiro together for a week of creative work in the mountains above Grand Lake. \nShadowcliff Mountain Lodge & Retreat Center\, 105 Co Rd 663\, Grand Lake\, CO 80447

SUMMARY:Valuing the Artist: External Validation\, Self-Worth\, and Creative Practice
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and creative consultant Nick Leavens for a conversation about one of the most persistent questions in any creative life: how do we decide what creative work is worth? \nDrawing from his own path across theater\, stone sculpture\, and filmmaking\, Leavens will explore how artists experience and internalize the value assigned to their work throughout their careers\, examining the relationship between external validation\, self-worth\, and creative practice. How does external recognition shape what we make? What happens to the creative self when the world’s valuation and our own sense of worth fall out of alignment? \nThese questions reach beyond the professional artist. Anyone who has made something\, or cares about someone who does\, will find a place for themselves in this conversation. \nThis conversation is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing artists to the mountains for a week of creative work in Grand Lake.

SUMMARY:Shadowcliff Artist Residency: Creative Reflections and Practice Sharing
DESCRIPTION:Shadowcliff\, in partnership with the Grand Lake Creative District\, invites you to an event featuring artists from the Shadowcliff Artist Residency. Join us on Friday\, September 11\, at 7:30 PM\, at the Grand Lake Community House. \nFor as long as people have gathered at Shadowcliff\, it has offered an environment that broadens people’s creative horizons by allowing for serious encounter and reflection. In 1972\, Warren Rempel\, one of Shadowcliff’s founders\, wrote: \n“The majesty of the mountains seems to draw people into both structured self-reflection and unstructured searching for deeper values.” \nThat has been true of Shadowcliff for more than fifty years\, and it is one of the reasons we chose to bring artists here for unstructured time to rest\, reflect\, research\, and make. \nThis year\, we welcome five nationally recognized artists working across dance\, photography\, poetry\, music\, and visual art. Each will offer a window into their practice—a reading\, a performance\, a conversation\, an artist talk. Their work has occupied museums\, galleries\, and stages across the country. For one evening\, they will share their work with Grand Lake in the intimacy of the Grand Lake Community House\, followed by an opportunity for you to meet them and ask about their work. \nThis event is open to the community\, including Grand Lake residents\, community partners\, and guests. \nThe 2026 Shadowcliff Artist Residency was supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Teazey Foundation and a Colorado Creates Grant\, made possible through funding from Colorado Creative Industries (CCI) partnership with the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA). \nThis event is offered on a community-supported\, sliding-scale basis\, starting at $5.

SUMMARY:Matana Roberts: New Solo Saxophone Improvisations
DESCRIPTION:Join saxophonist and multidisciplinary artist Matana Roberts for an evening of new solo saxophone improvisations in Shadowcliff’s historic chapel. \nRoberts is perhaps best known for Coin Coin\, an ongoing twelve-part cycle that weaves together history\, narrative\, community\, and political life into what they have described as “panoramic sound quilting.” \nRoberts has performed at Newport Jazz Festival\, Big Ears\, Berliner Festspiele\, and concert halls across Europe and the United States. Their work has been described as soul-baring\, transporting\, and “like getting a glimpse into another dimension.” \nThis performance is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing artists to the mountains for a week of creative work in Grand Lake. \n2026 Still Point Sessions residencies have been supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Town of Grand Lake Donor Advised Fund.
