Admission: Free and open to the public
Hey Kiddo (Main Gallery)
Featuring five women artists, Hey Kiddo explores the shifting boundaries between memory, myth, and the natural world. From vibrant, futuristic paintings to clay works that capture the fragility of a single moment, each piece invites us to reflect on what was, what is, and what could be.
Lindsey Yeager’s radiant, techno-colored paintings evoke ancient myths and possible futures, while Jasmine McGlade’s nostalgic photographs ask us to slow down and see the beauty in the now. Ann Morgan uses AI to create dreamlike landscapes shaped by human longing. Molly Altman works in clay to hold onto what’s fleeting, and Rachel Bock captures frozen air bubbles in her photographs—tiny messages from a world beneath the surface.
Together, their work asks: What is the world we carry in our imaginations? And what might it become if we choose to see it differently?
We extend our sincere thanks to Aspen Public Radio for their support of this exhibition.
Nicholas Ward: Dreams from the Margins (West Gallery)
Red Brick Center for the Arts is thrilled to present a collection of paintings by Nicholas Ward, a rising star who is garnering increasing attention and accolades.
Ward’s work explores the myths and romanticism of the American West, offering a nuanced critique of its allure and underlying falsehoods. Through a muted color palette and striking use of scale, his paintings employ elements of surrealism to challenge and expand viewers’ perceptions. This exhibition is a must-see.
