HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL, THANKS FOR MAKING 2013 A FANTASTIC YEAR AT PLUS GALLERY!

RECEPTION FOR ART STUDENTS LEAGUE EXHIBITION "REVISITED" THIS FRIDAY DECEMBER 20th

The Art Students League of Denver hosts a reception this Friday evening for the exhibition "Revisited," a survey of works by artists who have taught workshops and presented guest lectures at the league over the last decade. Jenny Morgan's spectacular 2012 painting "Mother" is presented front and center at the exhibition, and Bill Amundson's complex, hilarious "The Promised Land" can be found further inside the gallery as well.  The exhibition takes place at the Art Students League gallery at 760 Santa Fe Drive in Denver.

NEW DENVER THEATRE DISTRICT BANNERS FEATURE DENVER DIGERATI ARTWORK BY CHRIS COLEMAN AND MICHAEL SALTER!

What could be more impressive than a massive art-billboard in downtown Denver? Try two brilliant compositions by Chris Coleman and Michael Salter, referencing Denver Digerati, both flanking Digerati's main LED screen at the corner of 14th and Champa Street.  Go take a look at these awesome works downtown before they get covered up by commercial ads sometime in the new year.
