This Friday is a surprisingly strong evening of art openings in the contemporary art scene. Nice to kick the year off strong. ART COLLECTOR’S SUMMIT | Space Gallery DADA and curator Dana Cain are turning the microphone over to art collectors in a new series where collectors discuss their art purchases.

Happy new year and welcome to the start of your artsy 2011! As a Denver creative, I’m always most excited by the growth and recognition of Denver as a strong community of the arts. And 2010 was really a big shift. Congrats to all the successes in the Denver creative community, across visual art, design, [...]
As you know, I typically don’t do a lot of calls for entries, because I know you’re not all artists. But armed with a good list of diverse opportunities, I’m thinking you might feel inspired. There is one art opening tonight that looks promising, and the Friday $5 at 5pm deal at MCA, so we’ll [...]

There’s definitely First Friday art hopping to be had tonight, but I’m leaning toward some creative film and design events that cross disciplines to stir your brain. CAFE NUBA FILM [...]
It’s in these quieter parts of the month that I encourage you explore the local art community a little deeper. Hit a gallery at lunch or on a Sunday morning that you’ve been wanting to check out. Find the smaller events where you can actually fit in the room and talk to the artist. Explore [...]
Hard to believe it’s August already, the summer is flying by. Don’t miss the abundance of artwalks and festivals that are way more fun without hugely heavy layers and hats. FROLICKING NIGHTMARES | andenken You can never go wrong with an andenken opening. Always happening, always killer art & music, always beers. This month’s opening [...]
First let me just say a brief word about the passing of one of the most talented artists of our time: Michael Jackson. I personally was not a huge fan of his music, but his talent from an unbelievably young age was undeniable. He was confidently and successfully leading his older siblings by the age [...]
As often is the case at the end of the month, this weekend’s art events and opportunities are a little different. It’s a good time to branch out and see something new OPENING RECEPTION | CORE There’s a great show at Core this month — Brianna Martray and Bruce Clark. Really different but both very [...]
