“I am haunted by waters,” Norman MacLean wrote in “A River Runs Through It.”Perhaps mixed-media painter Meredith Nemirov is, too. Nemirov has reimagined both rivers and tides in a pair of solo shows in downtown Telluride, the first exhibits to be held at Milk Moon Gallery (307 E. Colorado Ave.).

A collaborative dinner between two accomplished chefs is coming up Thursday at The National. The meal supports a cause that is important to each of them, though one of the cooks lives far away. The visiting chef is Thomas Leonard, head of culinary at Daisies restaurant in Chicago. He’s a good friend of executive chef Chris Thompson; the pair met when Thompson, a Telluride native, was cooking in Chicago (among other places) before returning to open The National in the box canyon.

The event was the Pinhead Institute’s annual education event on the Valley Floor. Emily Ballou, who attended as a volunteer with her daughter, Ellison’s, first-grade class, caught the spirit too.
