Artist Reception: City Hall Biennial Exhibition

 

Join us for a vibrant evening of art, music, and community as we present a new exhibition in City Hall celebrating the extraordinary talents of Colorado artists. Visitors to the artist reception will enjoy artist talks, drinks, light bites, and live music. Starting at 4:30pm, there will be a progressive tour from one floor to the next, each level hosting different snacks and artists.

Admission: Free and open to the public

 

Every two years, Aspen Public Art mounts an exhibition of contemporary art in City Hall, capturing the essence of the Mountain West through the unique lens of Colorado makers. Their varied works of two- and three-dimensional art invite viewers to contemplate: nature’s intricate beauty, a spiritual experience of the world, a reimagination of local history, and our complex relationship with the environment in which we live.

Featured artists include: Wally Graham, Christie Helm, Marilyn Lowey, Nika Meyers, Leah Potts, Tamara Susa, Jeremy Swanson, Jenny Welden, Lara Whitley, Chloe Wilwerding, and Lindsey Yeager. Additionally, the exhibition includes a collection of political posters by Tom Benton, represented by DJ Watkins and the Aspen Collective Gallery.

Opening Reception: Hey Kiddo + Dreams from the Margins

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.
