You are cordially invited to attend the new statewide mosaics exhibition, “Mosaics: Cutting Edges” starting this Friday, November 4 at the eventgallery910arts in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. Opening Night / First Friday will be from 6-9 pm, with entertainment and a cash bar available and most, if not all, artists attending (I WILL be there!). My sculptural mosaic moose, “A Tale of Two Colorados” is amongst the exhibit pieces and I also have a few pieces available in their on-site Gift Gallery, where items generally run much lower than the exhibit pieces. This Colorado Mosaic Artists exhibit features 56 mosaic pieces from 22 different artists across the state.

The exhibit runs from Friday, November 4 through Saturday, December 17. Other special dates during the exhibit include:
Friday, Nov. 18, 6-9pm: Third Friday Galleries Open throughout District, meet artists and cash bar at 910arts. (I’ll be out of town during this one)
Saturday, Nov. 19, 2-4 pm: Tea and reception with artists (I’ll be out of town)

While you’re at the exhibit, be sure to check out the only all-mosaic studio and gallery in Colorado, Kashi Kari Gallery, also located at 910arts. Their whole space is covered by and decorated with mosaics; it’s amazing! Abbas and Roya are amazing artists and teachers; that’s who I took my first mosaic class from!

And then, one last thing I wanted to share is about another two other terrific exhibits in the Santa Fe Arts District. Most of you know about my love of Mexican art and culture, including their holidays and traditions. I thought I’d share info. about two of the Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos) exhibits going on, in case you’re interested…
