Next Meeting is July, 14, 2024, at 1:00PM at 931 Gallery 

931 Santa Fe Drive, Denver (in the Santa Fe Arts District)
Next meeting will be at the 931 Gallery, where Judy Doherty and I are having a duo show. Judy will also be there.

The name of our show is Bustin’ Out.

We are combining watercolors and glass together to show that both medias can blend and work well together. This is a very interesting experiment. If you could mix glass with another medium, which would you choose? Something to think about.

Anyway, the reason for meeting at my gallery is to have a very brief meeting and then setting you all free to explore all of the galleries in the area. Judy and I are both, also, members of D’Art Gallery, which is on the corner of Santa Fe Dr. and 9th Ave. and they are having a member show right now.

Please go and visit this show as it is quite amazing and diverse. There are tons of galleries in the art district, going from 7th to 11th Streets.

Most are co-ops so, if you think your work matches what is in the gallery, ask about membership. See and learn about what a gallery looks like, how they hang their art, what appeals to you and what just doesn’t look correct. We can use this information when we do our two big shows this November and December. I do need your input.

Most galleries stay open, on Sunday, until 4:00PM and there are quite a few restaurants around to visit before or after the meeting. I hope that you will find this meeting beneficial and educational. Lots of interesting art to view.

Annual Summer Picnic 

Our picnic was so much fun! Besides all of the incredible food, I only got to sample half of what was there, we had a fun glass cutting contest. Everyone got to judge all of the entries, without knowing who cut what. The prize was a $100 gift certificate to D&L Glass.

Glass Cutting Contest  

Lois Rentz won the certificate being the best and fastest cutter. Congratulations to her. Just wait until next year, Lois. Some of us will be practicing during the year, posed to steal your crown.

D&L Glass 

Leslie wanted everyone to know that you don’t need to make appointments anymore.

Open Monday through Friday from 9AM - 3PM, you can now take your time, browse, and be there anytime they are open. Like the good ole days.

I had so much fun, the other day, and spent way more then I intended to. Saw Elizabeth Page there, too. So nice.

Hope to see you at the gallery on Sunday. 

Parking is a little weird, but you can park in the close by neighborhoods, too. Maybe carpooling would be fun to do. Just an FYI…

First Fridays are so much fun there during the summer. The next one, August 2, they will be blocking off the street and have dancing in the streets. Tons of food trucks and street artisans. There was a tarot reader there last Friday. Come enjoy yourself and have a great time. If you come, plan on arriving by 4 to get a parking place and have dinner there at the food trucks.

See you Sunday.

No need to bring treats to share.
