The FAC museum and theatre company were honored by no less than five nominations for this year’s Pikes Peak Arts Council awards. You’ll also notice that we not-so-quietly slipped in our connection to the winning “Artist of the year” Chris Weed, who had a major exhibition at the FAC, and nominated “Outstanding group” in popular music, The Haunted Windchimes, who opened for Arlo Guthrie at this year’s Labor Day on the Lawn concert.
