The Arkansas River as Christo & Jean Claude’s muse
There’s something alluring about the Arkansas River, which flows from the Rockies through Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. Artist Christo plans to “cover” almost six miles of the river with fabric panels between Canon City and Salida, Colo., over the next five years.
The Arkansas also figures prominently in an Artposium on May 27 and 28 in Salida, a mountain town about 140 miles southwest of Denver. Workshops explore the connection between the river and writing and art, with headliners such as Christo (left) and Jeanne Claude (right), novelist Kent Haruf (“Plainsong”) and fly fisherman Fred Rasmussen.
