Denver Arts Week is once again upon us, a week long-plus celebration of arts in our community. Though a bit redundant for the visual arts community (as we say, every week is "Denver Arts Week" at the gallery), nevertheless it's nice to see the city celebrate one of its greatest assets and something that brings joy to us all in its many forms throughout the year.
The week always launches with "Super-first Friday" which is this Friday, November 5th when the galleries stay open past their normal bedtimes, including Plus Gallery which will be open till about 8pm or thereabouts depending on traffic.
Plus Gallery artist Bill Amundson has a presence up the street from us at the Mellow Mushroom during Denver Arts Week. This new, sleek and sexy restaurant on the 16th street mall features a terrific giant mural by Amundson that any fan of his would appreciate, and we've contributed a selection of Bill's smaller gems for their patrons to engage with during DAW including Bill's previous commission for the Denver Theatre District in appreciation of the DPAC. The Mellow Mushroom offers up a special pizza-pie for the event along with beer specials from Oskar Blues, do stop in for a visit if you are out and about down town this coming week.
Otherwise, Plus Gallery has a spectacular exhibition of new works by California artist Mike Whiting on view through the week and concluding on November 27th. We guarantee any visit to Plus Gallery to be a worthwhile time if you want to find out about some of the best art being shown in Denver.
