Denver’s Dynamic Art Scene—It’s Gonna Be a Hot Summer…Continues!

Central Denver Art Scene:

Dale Chihuly is famous for his intricate, organic glass expressions that pop up everywhere—whether on a table, hanging lamp, a wall, or even gardens! See Dale’s work at the Denver Botanic Gardens and at PISMO Fine Art Glass at 2770 E. Second Ave. in Denver.

Take home your own organic blown glass art creation by this renowned artist. Spectacular large installations will surprise and delight you at the Botanic Gardens. You almost have to see it twice—once during the day lit up by nature’s sun, and once at night where the moon and special lighting give the sculptures an ethereal glow. Located at 1007 York St. in Denver.

Flora and Fauna, August 12-September 4th at the Visions West Gallery in LoDo. Art creations from artists Will Pope, Terry Karson, Timothy Chapman, and Peter Smuts. Located at 1715 Wazee St. in Denver.

(Modernism is a philosophical movement that, along with cultural trends and changes, arose from wide-scale and far-reaching transformations in Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the factors that shaped Modernism was the development of modern industrial societies and the rapid growth of cities, followed then by the horror of World War I.)
