Thank you for everyone who stopped by the Downtown Boulder ArtFair, Highlands Ranch Arts Festival and Evergreen Arts Festival the past couple of months.  It was great to meet everyone who stopped by the booth and talk about the images on display.

I have added an additional show to the schedule for the month of September in Boulder which takes place on September 25th and 26th (Saturday/Sunday).  The Boulder Fall Festival is located along the Pearl Street Mall and features “food, brews and music with the added excitement of a Children’s Carni­val and more than 30 artisan booths.”

I do hope to see you at the festival in a few weeks.

This summer I will be taking part in a few art fairs in the Metro Denver area.  I hope that you will be able to stop by and visit me at one or all of the shows.

Additional Viewing Opportunities

During the month of August, the images Top of the Dunes and Rainbow Curve will be on display at the College Hill Library in Westminster, Colorado as part of a group show of nature photography.  The library is located on 112th Street in Westminster and images will be available for viewing during normal library hours.

On Friday April 2, 2010, gallery nrc will celebrate its one year anniversary in Northwest Denver.  Join us during First Friday in the Tennyson Arts District from 6-10pm to help celebrate the anniversary.

During the course of the year we have worked with some great photographers and others who have helped the gallery grow. With so many people helping out we decided to ask a few of these individuals to show their work at the gallery this month. The first anniversary show features the photographic work of Jake Groenhof, Terri Johanson, Christopher G Rice, Aleksei Saunders, Daylene Wilson and Neil Corman.

gallery nrc is located at 4424 Tennyson Street.

Earlier today I placed a collection of photographs at Optique of Denver located at 1580 Blake Street in Downtown Denver.  Madeline the owner of Optique enjoys bringing in the work of local artists each month which brings a different feel to Denver’s Unique Eyewear Boutique.  I shared this month with Art for Edison as they did a fundraiser at the beginning of the month, and was happy to give up the first two weeks of the month for that cause.

My photographs will be on display at the store until June 3rd, and the hours are Monday-Friday 9am-6pm, and Saturday from 10am-4pm.  If you are in the downtown area stop on by and check out the work as well as Madeline’s products and friendly staff.

Yesterday evening fellow photographer Christopher Rice hosted an event for a group of nature photographers we know from the Rocky Mountain Nature Photographers online forum at gallery nrc as well as Bentwave Gallery in the Tennyson Art District.
