Artist Happenings

Matt Christie has a solo exhibition at The Arvada Center titled Between Then and Now, on view now through May 5. Christie has contributed to the Colorado art scene as both artist and education for over 40 years. His work combines a dynamic array of nature-based references along with a saturated color palette to produce a body of work both striking and personal. There is an opening reception this Friday, April 5 from 6-9 PM, and an artist talk next Thursday, April 11 at 5:30 PM. 

Brian Comber is featured in a solo exhibition at BMoCA’s Canyons Gallery at Frasier. Reverie is a collection of watercolors and etchings that highlight the vibrancy of nature and the excitement of botanic rebirth. The exhibition is on view through August 18, 2024 and is open to the general public Tuesday - Sunday from 11am - 5pm. More info here.

Jamie Gray was selected by the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) to be the 2024 Business for the Arts Awards artist. For this commission, she created 12 unique hand-held sculptures that were presented to companies and individuals for their outstanding business partnerships and engagement with the arts during CBCA’s annual celebration and fundraiser on March 12, 2024. CBCA (along with sponsorship by Health One) produced this short video about Gray's creative process and the making of the awards.  

Cara Enteles' MTA Arts Design large scale public art project, “Commuting Through Nature”, installed at the Merillon Avenue LIRR train station, will be featured in the book “Contemporary Art Underground”, now available from the monacellipress & phaidonpress. Written by MTA Arts & Design director Sandra Bloodworth and deputy Cheryl Hageman, the publication tells the stories behind the program’s more than 100 artworks installed in the MTA system since 2015. Enteles’ work is created in ceramic glass and creates much of the structure of the station.
