The Telluride Art Walk takes place the first Thursday of each month. Ramona Bruland recently took a stroll through Telluride's galleries, interviewing artists and owners about local art, including sculpture, paintings and photography.

It's the Mecca of all indie movie lovers, the smorgasbord of producers, actors and directors alike. Everybody from the A-List to the D-List converged on Park City, Utah for the 2008 Sundance Film Festival from January 17-27.

Luckily for you, Plum TV host Jeb Berrier tagged along. A-List? Maybe not everywhere, but certainly in Telluride. Jeb Berrier takes us along through Park City, talking to directors, producers, and yes, actors, too.

Kids and adults competed on level playing fields at Cool Sculpt 2008 to create the coolest snow sculptures around - from Buddha to the abominable snowman, from an octopus to an Outback.

Every year, a slew of new indie films hits one of the most famous film festivals in the world -- Sundance Film Festival. Thousands converged on Park City for a weekend. This year, Plum TV's Jeb Berrier went along to get the highlights.

Plum hooks up with pro skateboarder Tony Hawk at X-Dance Action Film Festival which coincides with Sundance Film Festival in Park City. Hawk's film, "The Secret Skate Park Tour," documents pro skateboarders showing up unannounced at skate parks around the country and skating with the locals, and is airing at the festival this year.

It may be the coldest time of winter, but inside the Sheridan Opera House it was red, hot and Rio, with party-goers dressing up—and down. The Telluride Council for the Arts & Humanities hosted its biggest fundraiser of the year, the Beaux Arts Ball with this year’s theme “Red Hot & Rio.” Returning to the Beaux Arts Ball stage was the “Queen of Blues” Hazel Miller

Plum host Jeb Berrier interviews Peter Baxter, co-founder of SlamDance, a film festival that takesplace alongside the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.  Peter Baxter is just one of many interviews the Plum crew secured in Park City.

It may be the coldest time of winter, but inside the Sheridan Opera House it’s red, hot and Rio, so dress up—or dress down—accordingly. The Telluride Council for the Arts & Humanities is back Saturday night with its biggest fundraiser of the year, the Beaux Arts Ball with this year’s theme “Red Hot & Rio.”

Returning to the Beaux Arts Ball stage is the “Queen of Blues” Hazel Miller. She is a favorite at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival and a frequent performer on many Telluride stages—this is Miller’s first time on the Opera House stage. In 2002, the Independent Music Awards named Miller the Best R&B/Blues Artist of the year, and her hometown of Denver calls her the “Queen of Blues.” Last year at Beaux Arts, The Hazel Miller Band had the crowd moving to Motown and swing sounds, and this year is sure to be another grooving party, so bring your dancing shoes.

Telluride’s own Sasha is the 2008 Mistress of Ceremonies and inspires all to dress sexy, whether it be in drag, dressing up or dressing down. TCAH will provide the baubles, bead and masks for a finishing touch.

Lucas Price of La Cocina de Luz is cheffing up traditional Brazilian appetizers including empahinahs with chicken and hearts of palm, pao do queijo, and more.

Matching the dancing and dining glamour of the evening, is the art part. This TCAH fundraiser supports Telluride arts and artists and wouldn’t be complete without a silent auction and local works of art. Bid on an acrylic by Sarah Gordon, a limo ride/dinner with Telluride Limo and the Bluepoint Grille, French lessons, or a slew of festival passes, wine tastings, lift tickets and spa passes.

This year’s ball will largely benefit TCAH’s popular local co-op, the Stronghouse Studios Artists’ Cooperative.

Tickets are available at the door, Wizard Entertainment or Telluride Ticket.
