Known for his wild sense of humor and energetic DJing style, FISHER has become one of the scene’s most in-demand talents — sending him to the spotlight, his breakout track “Losing It” earned him his first Grammy nomination. Fast-forward to 2023 and the track has now amassed well over half a billion streams, cementing its status as one of the biggest dance records of the decade in the process.

A purveyor of lucid sounds, French producer Chloé Herry is a worldly and rhythmic figure in the electronic music atmosphere.

Now based in Denver, CloZee has made a name for herself by skewing the usual curves of bass music and evoking a spiritual and evolutionary sound. In 2020, she started a new journey with the launch of her artist-friendly label, Odyzey Music, where she’s devoted to highlighting the underground artists of bass music and beyond. With the inception of Odyzey Music, she released her sophomore album “Neon Jungle,” which later saw official remixes by Lane 8, Opiuo, Emancipator, and Of the Trees and was followed by her “Nouvelle Era” EP in 2021.

With a reputation as a curator of experimental sounds, Odyzey Music has hosted official stage takeovers at festivals like Electric Zoo and Sonic Bloom, in addition to CloZee’s own Voyage Festival. As one of bass music’s foremost female innovators, CloZee has garnered attention across the electronic music spectrum, even gracing the cover of DJ Mag in December 2022. In July 2023, she released her highly-anticipated 3rd studio album “Microworlds” a 12-track project. The album arrived ahead of her massive Fall 2023 North American Headlining Tour across 40+ markets. Her biggest tour to date, performing for over 100K fans. Expect 2024 to be a milestone year for the diversifying producer.

The Valley Visual Art Show (VVAS) is one of the longest-standing community art shows committed to showing the work of local artists. VVAS began in 1980 as a venue for local artists to share their artwork with the public. It still provides this opportunity, especially for artists new to the area and budding artists; but the show has also become both a salute to the wide variety of artistic talents in our area and a time to bring the artist community together. Last year’s 44th annual show featured about 60 Roaring Fork Valley artists and included two and three-dimensional work created in with wide variety of media. We received work from many new artists as well as many long-time local artists from the Roaring Fork Valley.

Artists participating in the 45th Annual Valley Visual Art Show include: Charles Andrade, Fred Annes, Jessica Armstrong, Alice Beauchamp, Annie Bell, Deborah Bender, Sandy Boyd, Katie Browne, Lynn Burton, Elizabeth Caris, David Clark, Kay Clarke, Suzanne Clarke, Brian Colley, Donna Dale, Larry Day, Staci Dickerson, Benjamin Eric, MaryLou Felton, Shelly Franklin, Marcia Fusaro, Megan George, Doug Graybeal, Jet Hall, Chris Hassig, Hunter Hogan, Kathy Honea, Wewer Keohane, Michael Kinsley, Sarah Kuhn, Linda Loeschen, Jordan Lugibihl, James Mason, Stephanie McConaughy, Nika Meyers, Ashley Mosher, Annette Murphy, Sally Nicholson, Judith Nordhagen, David Notor, Eric Olander, Brenda Peters, Hamilton Pevec, Kelly Phillips, Katherine Rich, Annette Roberts-Gray, Mila Rossi, Jill Sabella, Jill Scher, Amanda Selsky, Paul Stanley, Denae Statzer, Jeff Stevens, Dick Sundeen, Jennifer Vanian & Patty Catt, Nicholas Ward, Carolyn Williams, and Dennise York.
