Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road—Jim Steinberg Photography 
Colorado has long been admired for its vast open plains and towering mountains bursting with scenes just waiting to be admired for years to come. Imagine a road trip through Colorado during all four seasons. Perhaps the time to stop and smell the wildflowers in Colorado’s own backyard is something few actually accomplish, but photographer Jim Steinberg has done just that. He also photographed them for his latest book, Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road which he calls his “love letter to Colorado’s landscapes.”
Steinberg is a 30-year Steamboat Springs resident. He captures Colorado through his photography in exquisite color and detail. His exhibit highlights photographs from his book, giving visitors a chance to see Colorado like they’ve never seen it before. Traveling through four seasons and inspiring scenery, Steinberg has documented a photographic memory of Colorado’s 25 Scenic Byways. These routes were chosen for their outstanding archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational and scenic qualities. His book is on sale in the Arts Center Gift Shop.
Enjoy a Wine & Lecture with Steinberg and author of Colorado Scenic Byways: Taking the Other Road Susan J. Tweit on August 10 from 5-7 p.m. The event is free for Arts Center members and $5 for non-members and also features select Colorado wines.

Selling the Show
Selling the Show continues the celebration of the grand tradition of rock n roll posters in America from the King Gallery and combines this with car culture. Car club plaques, pin stripe panels, fine art paintings of classic cars and rock posters featuring the car all combine to create an interesting and fun collection of art designed to advertise rock and rods. Here we continue to display of objects from the Museum of American Speed and the rock posters assembled by Jim Valentine and add unique panels of fine art paintings featuring these two themes
This collection of posters by renowned poster artists was assembled by Jim Valentine here in Pueblo over a decade. With approximately 20 historical and contemporary posters museum visitors will be treated to a unique glimpse of vibrant, American graphic art that commemorates rock-and-roll.
Jim Valentine is a structural engineer and a concert poster fanatic. This Pueblo native decided years ago that concert t-shirts were too expensive, so he decide to scavenge concert posters off walls, kiosks, doors, etc. This "free" hobby soon turned into a love of poster art when he discovered artists such as Coop, Kozik and Forbes. His collection contains posters from the 80's, 90's and 00's of such artists as the Grateful Dead, Rancid, the Cramps, Deadbolt, Iggy Pop, Rocket from the Crypt, Goo Goo Dolls, and Urge Overkill.
