PLUS GALLERY ARTIST COMMISSIONS IN GREAT PLACES

Plus Gallery artist Peter Illig recently completed a beautiful commission for the City of Aurora's Firefighter Museum.  The painting has received terrific acclaim from the City and firefighters alike and looks great in their entry foyer.

Plus Gallery artist Bill Amundson recently completed a most spectacular commission for the new Mellow Mushroom restaurant ready to open on the 16th street mall in July.  This one is going to blow everyone's mind, with the original at 13.5 feet wide (and colorized mural reproduction blown up to over 40 foot wide) it is likely the most significant commission by a high-caliber Denver artist on the 16th street mall in, well, maybe ever!  Stay tuned for even more info.....

PETER ILLIG JOINS CITY OF AURORA ART COLLECTION

The City of Aurora Art in Public Places Program recently selected Plus Gallery artist Peter Illig to create a painting for the Aurora Fire Department History Museum, located at Fire Station #1 in the East End Arts District. The result, which is almost complete, is a 52-inch by 52-inch painting which will be installed in the lobby entrance to the fire station's museum at 9801 E. 16th Ave.  The painting celebrates the benevolent work endeavored by Aurora firefighters and joins a collection of over 35 works of art for the Aurora Fire Station Art Collection that includes works by other Plus Gallery artists including Bill Amundson, Patti Hallock, Wes Magyar and Riva Sweetrock. An impeccable collection indeed, we congratulate the City of Aurora on having fine taste and using the Art in Public Places Program to support some of Denver's finest contemporary artists.
