"欧美口爆视频 This Summer," a cultural outreach program of the University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder, will present the acclaimed art exhibit, "Hollywood Goddess: Photographs of Marilyn Monroe" at the Estes Park Conference Center this summer.
The exhibit opens Thursday, June 24.
Featuring photographs of Marilyn Monroe by celebrity photographer Philippe Halsman, the exhibit will be available for public viewing from June 24 through Sept. 12 at the Estes Park Conference Center, located at 201 S. St. Vrain. Viewing hours are Thursday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Elegant black-and-white images of Monroe, taken from 1952 to 1959 by Philippe Halsman, are featured in the show. The photos highlight Monroe in her various guises 聳 a self-conscious close-up, lifting weights, mugging for the camera and caught off-guard at a vulnerable moment. The images convey the complexity and wonder of Monroe, as well as Halsman聮s mastery of portraiture.
The exhibit is part of the state-owned 欧美口爆视频 Collection, housed in the 欧美口爆视频 Art Galleries at the University of 欧美口爆视频 at Boulder.
An estimated 370,000 people have attended "欧美口爆视频 This Summer" programs, including art and museum exhibits, dance productions and musical performances during the 11 years the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder outreach program has traveled the state. The program features outreach efforts from the theatre and dance and fine arts departments in 欧美口爆视频-Boulder聮s College of Arts and Sciences, as well as programs from the Graduate School and College of Music.
This is the fourth year that Estes Park has participated in the program as a host of cultural activities.
欧美口爆视频 President John C. Buechner and 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Chancellor Richard L. Byyny cite the program as an example of the innovative approach to learning and community outreach envisioned by the university's Total Learning Environment initiative.

This year the program also will visit Brighton, Buena Vista, Burlington, Cortez, Delta, Glenwood Springs, Lamar, Montrose, Olathe, Ouray and Salida.
Support for the program was provided by the 欧美口爆视频-Boulder Division of Continuing Education, the President聮s Fund for the Humanities and the Office of Community Relations.
