Artist Robin Cole Debuts "Genesis" at Gallery 1261A Journey Between Science and Spirit March 16 30, 2024 Gallery 1261 is proud to present "Genesis," a solo exhibition by Denver-based artist Robin Cole. Drawing from the deep reservoirs of personal transformation and the vastness of the natural world, Cole~s work bridges the realms of science and spirit, presenting a harmonious confluence of the internal and external wilderness. Artist Statement:My work explores an inner wilderness by way of an outer one. These images come as often from within as without, informed as significantly by emotional texture and imagination as observation. I am interested in elemental experiences that possess this added, dream-like resonance, like a vision of tiny embryonic mysteries, or the ethereal glow of a nameless light in a white landscape. These are the times when the veil feels thin, when an omnipresent but unnoticed magic moves beneath the surface of the ordinary. In my work, I aim to weave this need for understanding into a broader and equally honest experience of imagination. Robin ColeAbout Robin Cole:Nature and those that inhabit itour human selves includedpossess a magic for me, one which I attempt to elicit by working within the bounds of realism as one might work within a poetic form, utilizing the formal constraints to evoke something beyond the boundary of those very limitations. I strive to carve out a compelling space in which those peripheral presences can stand forth, a space of co-existence with both the seen and the unseen. This idea of continuity and reciprocity between landscape and psyche is reflected in many of our myths, legends, and stories both ancient and modern. I am drawn to these primal sources and archetypes of our human storiesstories which, at a fundamental level, are nearly always developed in direct response to our wild, earthly home as a way of explaining, understanding, and relating to its elemental forces. -Robin Cole Genesis: Robin Cole Solo ExhibitionMarch 16 March 30, 2024March 16, 5 - 8 PM.

Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana explores these questions and our natural drive to push beyond obstacles and seek deeper relationships. In the Fronteras program dancers are confined within taped borders on the floor representing the imposition of boundaries, social and artistic, and the choreography explores how such limits are transcended.You never know what youre going to see, and thats why audiences keep coming backThere arent any stars, or weak links, either. The eight dancers are remarkably equal, each holding attention in a distinctive way writes Brian Seibert of The New York Times.Flamenco Vivo has evolved to become an organization rather than only a dance company and continues to be dedicated to arts in education. During the residency week, the troupe will host a Flamenco Guitar Masterclass which features instruction in flamenco guitar techniques, tonalities and rhythms. The class is open to ages 14 and up and is offered on April 17 at 7 p.m. A Flamenco Movement Workshop will also be offered for active adults over age 55 on April 16 at 11:15 a.m. This class focuses on instruction in rhythmic handclaps, arm movements, body posturing and footwork tailored to the participants experience level.

Announcing the Daniel Sprick Retrospective Exhibition at the Madden Museum of ArtFleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel SprickThe School of Art & Art History at the University of Denver proudly presents "Fleeting Presence: The Liminal Art of Daniel Sprick" at the Madden Museum of Art, located within the Palazzo Verdi building at 6363 S. Fiddlers Green Cir., Greenwood Village, CO 80111. The exhibition runs through April 28, 2024.This exhibition, curated by 15 graduate students from the Master of Art History program and one undergraduate Fine Arts major, examines Daniel Spricks broad ranging oeuvre spanning portraiture, landscape, still life, and interiors. Student curators selected paintings and drawings from nearly four decades of Spricks work. All told, there are 54 works on view showcasing the evolution of Sprick~s artistic practice.The student-curators worked closely with Sprick to develop the exhibition in which they gained valuable insights and hands-on experience. Under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Shamos, this immersive practicum provided students with opportunities to learn from local curators and professionals from esteemed institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver and the Denver Art Museum.Daniel Sprick~s hyper-realism is characterized by an embrace of uncertainty, uniting seeming opposites life and death, stillness and dynamism, transience and permanence to transform the mundane into the magical and mysterious. Drawing inspiration from the Dutch realist tradition, especially the works of Johannes Vermeer, Sprick~s art is a manifestation of his expert manipulation of form, space, color, and light. His hauntingly beautiful paintings serve as a mirror to our reality, infused with an undercurrent of melancholy and subliminal meaning.Daniel Sprick is represented at Gallery 1261 in Denver, CO and the Gerald Peters Galleries in Santa Fe, NM.Key Details:Venue: Madden Museum of ArtAddress: 6363 S Fiddlers Green Cir, Greenwood Village, CO 80111 (inside the Palazzo Verdi building).

Parkinsons disease (PD) is a complex neurological disorder that affects the entire body, causing movement and non-movement symptoms. Movement (motor) symptoms can include tremor, slowness of movement, and gait issues. Non-movement (non-motor) symptoms are diverse but can include cognitive and mood changes, psychosis, sleep dysfunction, urinary and bowel issues, and blood pressure fluctuations. Often, the focus in PD management is the motor symptoms, but non-motor symptoms are extremely common and often more disabling. This presentation will give an overview of the motor and non-motor symptoms of PD and provide some of the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions to help manage these symptoms.

BALLET ARIEL CELEBRATES 25 YEARS WITH SPRING PERFORMANCES OF AN AMERICAN IN PARIS AND APPALACHIAN SPRINGBallet Ariel rounds out its Silver Anniversary celebration season with a performance featuring An American in Paris, Appalachian Spring, and Dances from Le Corsaire, April 13, 27 and 28. After successful Fall and Winter productions, Ballet Ariel completes its 25th season with three ballets at venues in Denver and Lakewood. An American in Paris, Ballet Ariel-style, combines Gershwins sweeping orchestral classic with a charming storyline to create a narrative ballet about a young American womans first visit to Paris. She is transformed by the magic and vibrancy of the beautifully historic and undeniably romantic city. Her awakening to life and its possibilities is exhibited in the jazzy undertones of Gershwins score. Ballet Ariels Director Ilena Norton, and Ballet Ariels choreographer Gregory Gonzales, have created whimsical dances that capture the joy of Paris.Appalachian Spring, as explored by Norton, is a fresh interpretation of the music composed by Aaron Copland for modern dance pioneer Martha Graham. The ballet depicts the wedding day at a Pennsylvania farmhouse in the early 20th century. The young couple experiences a range of emotions over the course of the day many couples can relate to apprehension, excitement, and finally, serenity. Ballet Ariel brings new life to the American classic from one of the great contemporary composers of the 20th century, incorporating classical movement and a dramatic narrative. Performed on pointe, Nortons ballet includes choreography from Gregory Gonzales, whose contemporary style integrates wonderfully. Le Corsaire (The Pirate) selected dances will also be part of Ballet Ariels Spring program. In its full three acts, the ballet is the story of Conrad who falls in love with the beautiful Medora during the Ottoman Empire. She and the three Odalisques are purchased by the Pasha for his harem. Conrad rescues her and they sail off for their life ahead, together. Dances from the ballet originally choreographed by Marius Petipa are staged for Ballet Ariel by Oleg Dedogryuk, assisted by Patricia Renzetti.The Silver Anniversary Dance Collections run the following dates and locations:April 13, 7:30pm at the Cleo Parker Robinson Theatre, 119 Park Ave. W., in Denver - 80205. April 27, 7:30pm and April 28, 2:00pm at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Pkwy., Lakewood - 80226.
