Telluride Arts: Art Walk, 1/2/2020

31 Dec Telluride Arts: Art Walk, 1/2/2020

Telluride Arts’ First Thursday Art Walk is a festive celebration of the art scene in downtown Telluride. Participating venues host receptions to introduce new exhibits on the first Thursday of each month from January to April 2020. 

A complimentary gallery guide offering a self-guided tour is available at Visit Telluride on W. Colorado Avenue and at participating venues, which are open to the public most days.

Annually, Telluride’s Ah Haa School for the Arts selects two artists to feature at its New Year’s Eve Gala and a month-long exhibit. This year, Ah Haa presents poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and artist Meredith Nemirov for “PIPLANTRI: An exhibition of collaborative creativity.” For more on the artists, go here.

Through early January, the Telluride Gallery of Fine Art presents James Hayward, Andy Moses, and Jennifer Wolf in “Fluid Motion.” These three painters align by prioritizing moments and gestures over easily recognizable narratives, which take us out of our comfort zones to a place where the joy of discovery in the moment rules. For more on the artists, go here.

Slate Gray Gallery presents “Inspirited,”an exhibition featuring the work of New Mexican artist, Ali Launer, whose medium is beads on bones. The show also showcases new work by encaustic artist Amy Schilling. And the Gallery continues to feature Telluride local Ben Kapp. Working with light to create his wall art, having access to Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) was a game-changer for the emerging artist. For more on Launer and Schilling, go here. For more on Kapp, go here.

Telluride Arts and the Boulder Creative Collective are proud to present the Wagner Custom 2020 Artist Series from Wagner Custom Skis at Gallery 81435 through January 2020.

Telluride Arts HQ Gallery presents Jesse Crock’s “Painting the Colorado Experience.”
