Visitors to the Depot Art Gallery over the next month will enjoy masterpieces from skilled artists across the state.
The gallery, located in a historic railroad depot at 2069 W. Powers Ave., is featuring work from 80 artists in its 40th Best of Colorado art show through July 7.
Gallery spokesperson Peggy Dietz said the show is special because it includes a variety of artists from near and far, highlighting ones who have mastered their art form.
“Each item stands boldly in its uniqueness,” she wrote in an email to the Littleton Independent. “Whether it be the materials used, the composition or the whimsy.”
The show includes a variety of mediums, ranging from blown glass and ceramic mixed media to photography and watercolor painting. It also includes work made from leather, copper and silver, wood, clay and even gourds.
Eriq Hochuli, the curator at Foothills Art Center in Golden, is the show’s juror. Out of the 471 pieces of artwork submitted for the show, he selected 90 to display. He said there was a very high degree of skill in all of the work.
“I always try to choose a wide range of content and styles for shows like this,” he stated. “If you enter work with content inspired by nature, you really have to stand out, because I do not want to curate a show that is one note. This is especially true in Colorado, where so many artists use nature to inspire their art.”
Hochuli said the Depot Art Gallery is a “charming place to view art” and visitors should go see the show.
“(People) should go to appreciate a diverse selection of artwork that showcases the tremendous talent of the featured artists,” he said. “There truly is something for everyone to enjoy.”
More: The Depot Art Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sunday and admission is free. A reception for the show will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on May 31.
