Exploring Frida's Legacy 🎨 Dive into the vibran

Exploring Frida's Legacy 🎨 Dive into the vibrant world of Frida Kahlo! 🌺 Born in 1907 in Mexico, Kahlo overcame immense physical and emotional challenges throughout her life, using her art as a powerful tool for self-expression and resilience. Despite enduring numerous surgeries and chronic pain from a bus accident, she embraced her 'broken' self, finding solace and joy in her paintings. As she famously said, “I am not sick. I am broken. But, I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” 🌟 Join us as we celebrate her colorful spirit and profound creativity!

Alternative Printmaking Techniques with @victoriae

Alternative Printmaking Techniques with @victoriaeubanksart

Saturday, May 4, 10am-4pm
Sunday, May 5, Noon-4pm
$220 Members/$280 Friend & Non-Members

Printing making is transferring an image from a matrix onto another surface. In this class we will explore that transfer process in a very loose and experimental way, using simple tools and techniques that yield surprising results. Think monotypes, collagraphs, gelatin prints, making and using stencils, making and using stamps, found objects, positive and negative shapes.

Golden StArt - Happy Hour with @katekennedy2876 We

Golden StArt - Happy Hour with @katekennedy2876 Wednesday, April 10, 3-5 pm, The Brick Room

FREE, RSVP recommended
Golden StArt is a joint one-hour coffee meetup program designed to bring artists in the area together with the Golden community to meet and talk about art. Come and join us for drinks and apps with artist, Kate Kennedy!
“I’m a Colorado native, and love the beauty of this state. I feel I’ve been drawing, painting, and creating, all my life. I studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at CSU, Fort Collins. Also studied abstract watercolor at Red Rocks college. I feel that my strong design sense in my approach to my painting, comes from over 25 years as a graphic designer/Creative Director. I truly believe that we are all creative souls, and that it’s so important to express that innate creativity in a non judgemental way; thus enjoying the process and growing from it. Don’t ignore your inner beauty. BLOOM! One of my favorite quotes: “If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for a moment.” - Georgia O’Keeffe”
