Thursday. Denver cellist Ian Cooke knows a thing or two about art. The indie singer-songwriter’s sublime animated video for the song which premiered last year, is a delicate ode to both nature and handcrafted visuals. So it’s fitting that Cooke should be leading the program at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science — especially since the animated short was inspired by one of the wildlife dioramas in the museum’s Australia Hall. On March 20 Cooke will perform live and screen the video and its making-of documentary while attendees enjoy adult beverages and get creative by making their own miniature dioramas. The event takes place 6:30-9:30 p.m. at 2001 Colorado Blvd. and costs $10 for members, $12 for nonmembers. 21-and-up. 303-370-6000 or dmns.org.
