Aug 27-29: Denver Modernism

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Last night was a fun party launching the new Xbox Kinect. The interesting part of it was that it was held at a relatively new gallery I’ve been meaning to check out, Fat Tail Gallery, and that it was held in Denver. Xbox took its private launch parties to only five cities in the US, [...]

Couple quick gems this weekend…
GUERILLA ART | Red Delicious Press

So I saw this posting about relief prints from Traffic Cones, and figured Traffic Cones was the moniker for a group of graffiti artists. Turns out they’re talking about actual traffic cones, like the things used to block off traffic. I like it. If you’re interested [...]

June 4-5: First Friday Cliffnotes

Friday, June 4th, 2010

There’s obviously a lot going on at the First Friday art walks in all the neighborhoods – Santa Fe, Golden Triangle, Rino, Tennyson, East End and Boulder. You can certainly hit a neighborhood and meander on your own; but if you’re in the market for something new, I’ve got a few thoughts to consider.
