2012 | Best Mural Project

These two fabulous murals might never have come to life were it not for artist Carlos Fresquez's Community Paint: The Mural class at Metropolitan State College of Denver, a beautiful nod to Auraria's former life as a vibrant Hispanic community. The class's two-fold project last fall was to create murals for the facades of Su Teatro, in the Denver Civic Theater, as well as Metro's Center for Visual Art gallery, both located along the burgeoning Santa Fe strip. The resulting pieces honored Su... More »
2012 | Best Gallery Show -- Group

Many artists are interested in environmental issues, and former Center for Visual Art director Jennifer Garner brought a bunch of them together for Reclamation, an exhibit dedicated to art made from trash.

Strange People

By Michael Paglia | Thu, March 29, 2012

Considering the rise of abstraction at the beginning of the last century, it's interesting to note that even now, more than a decade into the current century, some artists persist in creating old-fashioned representational depictions of the human ... More »
Go Gangster for Charity

By Bree Davies | Thu, November 17, 2011

Calling all dames and sirs: AdvocacyDenver not-so-secretly invites you to Speakeasy, its third annual 1920s-era themed fundraiser. Patrons are encouraged to dress up like flappers and gangsters, throw down on faux gambling tables and dance to some... More »
The Nature of Things

By Susan Froyd | Thu, October 13, 2011

No double take necessary: Although at first glance, Altered Nature: Notable Interpretations From South America, which opens today at the Metropolitan State College of Denver Center for Visual Art, seems like it might belong down the street at the ... More »
