Home on the Grange

Summer is in full swing at the Grange and August offers opportunities for the community to relish art, education, and social gatherings.

Bondi Art Show

Friday, August 2, 5:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Saturday, August 3, 11:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Michael Bondi's annual art show returns to the Grange. Bondi's original watercolors and prints need to be seen in person to fully appreciate the essence of each setting. His technique and choice of colors elicit a warm sense of fully being in these lovely European locales.

You will be enthralled by Bondi's city and harbor scenes inspired by his trips to Italy, France, and Greece. Bondi's paintings are offered at galleries in Boulder, Laguna Beach, Santa Fe, New Orleans and Nice, France.

The Niwot Historical Society presents another in its series of 2024 Now & Then lectures. The upcoming talk, featuring Professor Andrew Cowell, will focus on the Niwot area's Arapaho culture and language.

Cowell, who earned his PhD at UC Berkeley, is a Professor of Linguistics and Faculty Director of the Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies (CNAIS) at the University of Colorado Boulder. He works in the areas of linguistic anthropology and language documentation, primarily Arapaho. He has published numerous articles and books, as well as developed curricular material and websites for language and culture learning. His current project is to develop a lexical database of Arapaho, with funding from the NSF/NEH DEL program.

Niwot Historical Society lectures are free to NHS members and $5 for general admission.

The Grange is looking for a fundraising volunteer, a volunteer coordinator, and a grant writer.

Now that the non-profit entity Niwot Community Hall owns the Grange building, the organization is looking for volunteer assistance to organize fundraising events, recruit volunteers, and write grants.

If organizing events, working with volunteers, and applying for grants are your superpowers, you'll find great satisfaction helping this community center reach its goals.

If you are interested in any of the positions, please contact the Grange by writing to [email protected].
