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, [...]

July 23+: Calling You

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

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.

Oct 2-3: Film & Design
