Hey there, artists and art enthusiasts! 🎨🌟 W

Hey there, artists and art enthusiasts! 🎨🌟 We're excited to announce that Artsweek Golden is back and better than ever! 🎉

Operated by staff and volunteers at Foothills Art Center, Artsweek Golden is a weeklong celebration of the arts that has been going strong for nearly 5 years! 🎉

We pride ourselves on being one of the most "artist-friendly" festivals around, providing a supportive and welcoming environment for artists to showcase their work and connect with art lovers from all over.
And it's not just us saying that - we've had several artists break their personal sales records at Artsweek Golden, which just goes to show how much our community values and supports the arts.

So whether you're an artist looking to showcase your work, or simply someone who loves and appreciates art, we invite you to apply to Artsweek Golden Festival 2023 (link in bio)! 🎨🌟

Don't miss out on the chance to be part of one of the most vibrant and welcoming art communities around.

This is the last week to see the 2023 Foothills Me

This is the last week to see the 2023 Foothills Members’ Show. Here is Robert Bell’s ( @illlcommunication ) submission Eclipse 1 and his statement about emotions and the creative process: “The creative process conjures up many emotions for me throughout, but especially early on. I wanted to create a composition full of serenity and peace because those are my favorite, although very elusive emotions. I could think of nothing more tranquil to depict than a moon bath”

ARTIST QUOTE: Yosemite National Park is full of dr

ARTIST QUOTE: Yosemite National Park is full of dramatic locations for photography, this particular day was the first snow of the year in Yosemite. As the snow started falling in Yosemite this November morning, my adventure partner Jesse Manton and I rushed up the 4.8 mile 3,200 vertical foot climb to the top of Glacier Point. We knew a perch would provide a dramatic image with the weather being so lively. I stood on one rock outcrop and directed Jesse to walk out on his perch from afar, immediately an updraft of clouds started circulating and I snapped away to create this dynamic image.

This week we are featuring @gabriel_rovick for our current exhibition, the 2023 Members’ Show.

A true Colorado native, Gabe’s upbringing fostered an insatiable appetite for creating unforgettable imagery. This entrepreneurial adrenaline junky’s camera has taken him deep in the Canadian backcountry, across Europe, through Asia and to Yosemite National Park (and beyond) where he captured this inspiring shot.

Stop by before March 26th to see Gabe’s incredible photo in person, and catch our annual love letter to the talented community of artists that support us as members.

During the 2023 Members' Show, we love to highligh

During the 2023 Members' Show, we love to highlight a piece in the exhibition on our social media and in our newsletter. This week we are featuring Dave Hawley

Guest juror, Traci Zajaczkowski, asked the artists,"how did your emotions affect your artistic process while making this work?" The artists' answers have been printed on their labels and will offer you extra insight into creating the work.

Here is what Dave had to say, "In selecting the title,"A Square in...", I was seeking an emotional response from the viewer. Completing the sentence is easy when viewing the piece, but the subject matter is, and should be, very personal. The title reflects my concerns about the way in which we seem to view each other today, in both domestic and international scenarios, and how we treat each other, as well as my hope that we are able to return to civility and shared love for each other. Come and see this work in person through March 26th!

This class aims to give students an understanding

This class aims to give students an understanding of the practice and history of still-life painting with oil. Drawing on impressionist techniques to modern-day painters, students will create their own contemporary twist on an age-old subject. The first class will demonstrate how to set up an underpainting by addressing the fundamentals of composition and proportion. The second class aims to introduce students to the basics of color theory, including hue vs. value, and how to set up a palette. This class is ideal for students new to oil painting or those who have a basic understanding and wish to delve deeper into painting from life.

This week we are featuring Mark Dalessandro, for our current exhibition, the 2023 Members' Show.

Guest juror, Traci Zajaczkowski, asked the artists, "how did your emotions affect your artistic process while making this work?" The artists' answers have been printed on their labels and will offer you extra insight into creating the work.
Here is what Mark had to say,
"This piece was created during the pandemic (2020 -
2021), at a time when everything seemed unsettled to me. That sense of being "off balance" informs the design.
The Crow traditionally symbolizes the Trickster, and Cat's Cradle is a somewhat complex child's game, which can conceivably go on forever."
Come and see this work in person through March 26th!
