Autumn has arrived in Colorado and we could not be more excited for it!

The gallery has made its own seasonal transition and is proud to announce our new hang: Autumn in the Rockies. Celebrating traditional landscapes and where our great state meets the canvas. Come see the details in the brushstrokes, then discover the real places that inspired them. A glimpse into Colorado's past, seen through the eyes of the artists who caputed it.

On display now until mid November, come see works by Eve Drewelowe, Frank Vavra, Mabel Feucht, Carl Lindin, Charles Partridge Adams, Zola Zaugg, and many more.

PSA: All prints by Denver artist Edward Marecak (1919-1993) are now on sale! 📣

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Edward Marecak moved to Colorado in 1946 following his service in WWII. He studied at the Broadmoor Art Academy until 1950, learning under artists such as Jean Charlot, Mary Chenoweth, and Lawrence Barrett. In the early 1950's, Marecak became deeply inspired by Referential Abstraction and Magic Realism, both of which defined his style going forward. Today, his works are celebrated for their whimsical, dream-like qualities and are held in multiple museums across Colorado, including the Denver Art Museum, the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center, and the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art.

The Saltillo Serape 🇲🇽
Originating from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, Saltillo serapes were men's garments celebrated for their exceptionally fine weave and intricate geometric design. Over time, the serape evolved into a symbol of affluence, prestige, and Mexican national pride.

Did you know? 🤔
Charles Ragland Bunnell is often credited as one of Colorado's first abstract expressionists, a style that he began exploring in the early 1940's. He was also the first artist to introduce abstract expressionism to the Broadmoor Art Academy in Colorado Springs, where it had been previously excluded from the school's curriculum.

"Untitled (Abstract in Red, Orange, White, and Blue)" by Charles Ragland Bunnell, dated 1953. Oil on canvas paper.
