Walker Fine Art welcomes you into a realm of connection, tranquility, and transformation in their upcoming exhibition, ASCENSION. Through ethereal installations, surreal landscapes, and celestial skyscapes, five artists invite us to pause from the busyness of life and reflect on moments of serenity and unity. Detaching from the everyday and experiencing the transcendence of art allows boundaries to blur and invites a sense of shared humanity.

We hope to see you all there! As always, coffee and pastries will be provided.

The Biennial of the Americas' new CultureHop program is designed to bring Culture Club members closer to the vibrant art and cultural scenes across the Americas right here in Denver. CultureHop invites participants to join curated Friday morning tours of artist studios, galleries, museums, and cultural spaces. Each week, members will "hop" between different creative venues, offering them an intimate and behind-the-scenes experience with local artists, curators, and cultural leaders. Meetups will feature coffee and pastries from local coffee shops. 

The program provides a unique opportunity to engage with local artists, spaces and galleries to explore diverse cultural expressions, and foster meaningful connections within the arts community. It's a great way for art enthusiasts and cultural explorers to stay connected to the creative pulse of Denver and build greater appreciation for the Americas. 

On November 1, we will be hopping to Michael Warren Contemporary to see the new exhibition, Vista Comunes: From the Andes to the Rockies, which features clay artists from Chile and Colorado. Coffee and pastries will be provided by Tonantzin Casa de Café!

This week CultureHop will take place at Marcos Acosta's studio!

📍 Location: 999 Vallejo St, Denver, CO 80204
📅 Date: Friday, October 25
🕙 Time: 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Marcos Acosta’s paintings illuminate humanity’s intersection with the natural world, evolving from his upbringing near the Sierras de Córdoba in central Argentina. Acosta is an internationally recognized talent across South America, but is happy to call Denver home.

His dramatic canyons and jagged mountain tops are interrupted by abstract lines, signaling our arrival into these breathtaking spaces. While we are part of nature ourselves, these linear shapes indicate our contemporary presence, while his curvilinear forms reveal the natural environment around us.

For those of us who share a deep connection with nature, these contrasting elements serve as a record of our movement through these settings. Acosta’s bold and bright colors illustrate the joy, excitement, and thrill that these moments can bring, all while highlighting the delicate balance in which we live. Tread lightly through these worlds, hints Acosta, but never lose sight of the vibrancy and renewed sense of self that such profound landscapes can provide. (Excerpt from Hexton Gallery)
