Bordo Bello Deck

My deck for event tonight in Denver. 

For the fourth year in a row, Bordo Bello is about breathing life into the Denver arts community. Our goal is to expand the audience of AIGA Colorado and open up the design community to incorporate the related artistic fields that help shape our culture. It all began with an idea by then AIGA Colorado Mentorship Director, Matt Bargell of Bargell Design, who named the event as dedication to his wife’s Italian heritage. Since then this wonderful concept has become one of Colorado’s premier artist events that brings together artists nation-wide for a common good.

Bordo Bello’s funds go to AIGA Colorado’s mentorship opportunities. This includes VSA Colorado/Access Gallery, Robert Taylor AIGA Colorado Scholarship fund, as well as the development of new programming (to be rolled out in 2012).

ARTCRANK Denver 2011 will be hosted and sponsored by Josh and Tran Wills’ new Super Ordinary Gallery, featuring the work of more than 30 local artists. The show will open on Friday, September 2 at 6:00pm, and also include a family-friendly Saturday showing from noon until 6:00pm.

We’re proud to announce that our Cause Partner for this show is the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). At Friday’s opening night party, Widmer Brothers Brewing will provide the beer, and proceeds from the sale of ARTCRANK pint glasses will go to support IMBA’s work to build, maintain and protect mountain bike trails. We’ll drink to that!

Dig this: we’re also teaming up with SoBe, Denver artist Mike Graves and screen printing studio by Black Cloud Workshop to stage a Try Everything party on Friday night, with Sobe sampling stations where you can experience all 31 flavors of SoBe, print-it-yourself SoBe t-shirts, and a live, bike-inspired collaborative mural created by the crowd during the show.

Last but not least, we’ll be showing off our brand-new custom Trek District ARTCRANK Edition bike, designed by Denver expat Lifter Baron. You can also see it at Wheat Ridge Cyclery and Turin Bicycles Ltd.

GIVE 150™

I saw this commercial for GIVE150 the other night and decided to do a piece to promote the site.

Info of GIVE 150:

One hundred and fifty years ago, America was torn apart by Civil War before the union was finally restored in 1865. Today, HISTORY invites all Americans to help preserve Civil War sites and stories through the Give 150™ national campaign.

Give 150™ donations will go directly to the Civil War Trust and the National Park Foundation, both non-profit 501 (c) 3 organizations, to help protect Civil War sites and lands, and support their interpretation. HISTORY will also provide the public with the opportunity to actively give back to your communities through service and preservation projects as part of this initiative.

SPECIAL FRIDAY THE 13th OPENING

CLOSING RECEPTION

Friday, May 27

7PM-10PM

Illiterate presents Jolly B 13, a group exhibition of thirteen well established artists whose works range from contemporary folk and outsider art to highly graphic forms and pop surrealism. Guest curated by artist Jeremy "THINKMULE" Pruitt, this numerically driven assemblage is to him is "a celebration of the diversity of art". The numeric title of the show reflects Pruitt's personal affinity for the symbolic value of digits apparent in his own practice. In this case his attention turned towards the number 13 and the contentious associations it contains. As an object of superstition, it has captivated people of many beliefs for millennia and evoked a range of connotations in mythology depending on the cultural reference.

Jolly B 13 is an exhibition of artists who through their varied associations will playfully contribute additional perspectives to this most polarizing prime number. From uninhibited primitive representation and expressively grotesque subject matter to delicately polished and meticulous renderings of strange fantasies, this eclectic collection begs consideration in its juxtaposition of approaches to object making. Whether a skeptic or a believer, the inherent meaning between this body of work, like that of the number 13, will certainly remain in the eye of the beholder.

Jeremy and Melanie Pruitt Crawlspace at Black Book Gallery (Friday, free)
Crawlspace is our favorite type of art show, because it features two artists who work in entirely different mediums. It's like you get to walk into two different galleries at once. Jeremy Pruitt will be exhibiting some of his wooden creations, whereas Melanie will be showing off some intricate line drawings. If you're hitting up the Santa Fe district tonight, you're not going to want to miss this one.
