The Andenken is located by Coors field in Denver, which seems to be a budding area for the art scene. It is located in an old warehouse type building with all the exposed brick a romantic artist like myself can handle. Openings there are really laid back and I enjoy the unpretentious atmosphere. It's not your typical gallery, a pair of ripped up jeans and a shirt are all you need to attend an opening. They have a seemingly relaxed feel when it comes to the installation of the works which lends well to the artwork featured here. They draw a lot of artists featured in the magazine Juxtapoz, such as Jeff Soto, and have really placed themselves on the map with Juxtapoz hailing them one of the best galleri...Read More

The Denver Art Museum, or DAM, is becoming the arts Mecca between the coasts. This incredible museum is gaining new found notoriety with its recent expansion. The already architecturally pleasing building has taken on a new life of sharp angles and reflective surfaces, it's as though Frank Gehery's cousin has taken over downtown Denver. Gio Ponti, Italian designer, dreamed up the 28-sided, two-towered building in collaboration with James Sudler Associates of Denver. The new building has seven floors of gallery space, stacked vertically to enable visitors and connected by an elevator. The exterior is covered with more than one million faceted, shimmering gray tiles that capture the sun refracting it at...Read More

Gallery Sink combines a photography gallery, artist space, and a darkroom in a really incredible space. The gallery was developed in 1998 to help promote and support the fine art of photography. They exhibit both local and international artists and on occasion some painting and sculpture. Located in the historic Highland neighborhood west of Lodo, the Gallery Sink has a lot to offer. The gallery also hosts darkroom work shops, so this gallery is really a place for learning as well as exploring the fine art of photography.
