The Manitou Springs Heritage Museum proudly announces the opening of its new Winter exhibit, “Ski Areas of the Pikes Peak Region”.  The exhibit is a collaboration with the Colorado Snowsports Museum in Vail, who provided some amazing historic photographs. Due to the efforts of the Pikes Peak Ski Club and Don Lawrie, the club’s first president, ski areas like the Pikes Peak Ski Area and Ski Broadmoor were successful for many years while other Ski Areas were planned, but never operational.  This exhibit tells the stories of the early skiing pioneers who were dedicated to promoting the sport of skiing within the Pikes Peak Region.

First Friday March 7 (Noon-8 pm)

"Self-Inspection" is a surreal, introspective take on self-consciousness, self-awareness, and the human condition. Imagine each piece like the strange, warping images that run through your mind in your sleep, the deepest parts of your psyche and how you react to them. I am not trying to argue that any of these deep-psyche-parts are good or bad, simply "there". We are often exploding at the seams with a need to be understood, all our thoughts and opinions pushing forward, sometimes against our own wishes. We over share, we overembellish, we become too honest or dishonest all in an attempt to be understood, but your mind and my mind are all amalgamations of everything we have ever seen, done, and been.

So enjoy the gallery and ponder the question with me, "What does it mean to be Me?

“TRUNK” by Riley Samuel Merritt is an interactive one-man show that narrates the trials of a young artist facing his imminent demise. Presenting poetry, music, and years of cumulative writing, Merritt grapples with ambition, love, and identity through the eyes of a flawed everyman.

TRUNK reimagines the age-old confrontation with mortality through the lens of a flawed, modern creative. While the narrative is not autobiographical, Merritt uses his own life as a vessel to explore the universal story of what it means to live truthfully—and die honestly—as an artist.

Audience participation is central to the show, making each performance a shared act of reflection and storytelling. Viewers are invited to contribute their voices, reinforcing TRUNK’s core themes of community and collective memory.

Ultimately, TRUNK is both a personal unpacking and a public offering—a meditation on legacy, vulnerability, and the moral responsibility of the modern artist in a world that often forgets to listen.

Creator’s Bio:

Riley Samuel Merritt is an actor, writer, and musician raised in the rugged four corners region. Riley graduated from New Mexico State University with a degree in musical theatre, and has spent his years since training and creating in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, having acted in such shows as Little Night Music (Henrik), You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown (Charlie Brown), Heroes of the Fourth Turning (Kevin), Taming of the Shrew (Bianco), and many more. Now ready to move to metropolitan Chicago, Riley is touring “TRUNK”: an original one-man show which celebrates art and humanity through the use of poetry, song, and years of cumulative writing.

Show contains Mature Themes and Language.
