Event Details
Inspired by the Ralph Ellison novel “Invisible Man,” YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project deals with the artist’s venture of becoming a resident of this city.
Boulder, Colo.: Anna Tsouhlarakis works in sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with degrees in Native American Studies and Studio Art. She went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in Sculpture.
In cities such as Portland, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio, Tsouhlarakis has created various iterations of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT. For her installation at East Window, Tsouhlarakis uses the framework of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT to reflect and illustrate her journey as a dark brown woman and the racial interactions that create moments of absolute hilarity and horror.
Her work has been part of national and international exhibitions at venues such as Rush Arts in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Portrait Gallery. Tsouhlarakis has participated in various art residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Yaddo, and was the Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at Colorado College for the 2019-2020 academic year. She was awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2021 and recently received a 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.

Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.
October 9, 2024, 5:30 – 8 p.m.
Photo/Video opportunities of History Colorado Center’s newest exhibition and opening celebration featuring the performance of a traditional Chinese Lion Dance from 6 – 6:15 p.m. as well as interview opportunities with History Colorado staff, community collaborators, and guests are available.

Event Details
Seidel City is pleased to present Decades: Fashion Photography from the Archives + A Denver Icon A Tribute to Steve Trujilo an exhibition featuring the Photography of Natascha Seideneck. The show will open with a public reception Saturday, October 26th from 6:00-9:30pm, and will be on view October 26th through November 16th 2024.
The Exhibit
The series, Decades: Fashion Photography from the Archives + A Denver Icon A Tribute to Steve Trujilo centers on Natassha Seideneck’s phtotgraphy, Decades: Fashion Photography from the Archives, features photographs spanning the late 1980s to the early 2000 and are a testament of experiences and collaborations between photographers, models (mostly friends really!), designers, makeup artists and hairdressers. Using the then industrial back drop of Denver we experimented, played and documented. The work was not particularly about commercialization, and this gave us a certain freedom of expression. It is as much about culture, time and society as it is about fashion. In the early 1990’s Steve Tujillio came into my life who is still to this day, the most creative person I have ever known. You will see many of his signature styles in the photographs, whether it’s hair, his fashion design, interior design or jewelry. This exhibition is dedicated to him and all of you that were and are a part of this special community.
The Artists
Natascha Seideneck was born in Germany, grew up in England and now lives in Denver, Colorado. She has a MFA from School for the Museum of Fine Arts. Natascha has exhibited her artwork extensively and produced numerous site specific artworks often collaborating with artists, designers and architects. Currently she is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver and a member of Tank Studios.

Event Details
LAYERED…Karen Eberle-Smith’s “Layered” is a captivating exploration of the qualities of handmade paper. The exhibition will debut at Next Gallery, located at 6501 W Colfax Ave, Lakewood, CO 80214.
The concept of layering is expressed through the thickness of a single material covering a surface. The intricate process of making paper involves deconstruction and reconstruction. The once-solid form is transformed into a liquid state, starting with plant material and breaking it down to the smallest fibers. Removing the water reconstitutes these fibers into a solid, resulting in a completely new creation.
Karen’s artistic process mirrors the transformation of paper. She consistently reduces elements to their basic form, then skillfully layers shape, form, color, and texture until she achieves the intended feeling. After a period of reflection, she often disassembles her creation and reassembles it, altering and tearing it until the desired emotional response is evoked. Ultimately, Karen aims to create work that resonates with viewers, inspiring meaningful emotions. While she often finds significance in her art, she intentionally maintains a level of ambiguity, allowing viewers to interpret and add their own layers of meaning to the work. In the end, Karen hopes to create work that has a mood and inspires a feeling in the viewer.

Event Details
Gwen Hill-Pollara is a local ceramicist. This year she brings you a show about the need to hang up your angel wings, your burn out, your hero roles and rest. She has invited the very talented local ceramicist and fiber artist, Brenda Jones, to join her in this exploration of what it means to rest and let go of all the hard work that we do in this world. She will be showing her hand pieced giant aprons and Gwen will be showing her new clay works.
About the Artists:
Gwen’s work in clay, lyrical and moving, is an expression of a fantastical intersection of the human and natural realms. Her work aims to reveal the heroine/hero archetype. Like an excavator of the primordial landscape, Gwen uncovers the ancient origins of the tender-hearted warrior. Clay provides the perfect elemental contact with the Earth itself and to the human creative lineage. Her pieces have been described as “projecting a secret garden with a touch of sadness.” Gwen is a pioneer of the inner and outer landscapes of this life. She grew up in the soggy bottoms and rocky crags of the Mississippi River Valley exploring under rocks, around bends and out yonder. Summers brought her to the Ponderosa Pine haven of the Rocky Mountains. She has traveled out beyond into the thick wilds of nature and ancient roads of human civilization. Gwen received her biology degree from SEMO University, with a minor in Fine Arts. Buddhist philosophy and meditation is the connective tissue that joins “heaven and earth” in her life’s endeavors. When not in the studio, she is writing with friends, coaching personal growth clients or herding chickens.
Brenda Jones is a contemporary sculptor living outside of Colorado Springs. She grew up in the 1960’s in southeast Kansas; her work pays homage to the gender roles embedded in that time and in rural America. Her pieces are adorned with nostalgic yet delicate narrative imagery as a way to critique traditional women’s roles or expectations. In her words, “I tell stories in my work and I invite you to interpret these on various levels as you take the visual journey.” Her artwork has been shown across the U.S. She has received “best of show” in several exhibitions and scholarships from SAIC, Anderson Ranch, and Fulbright travel studies to Argentina and Japan. Her pieces are always on the move. She is currently represented by 45 Degree Gallery, Colorado Springs and Strecker-Nelson gallery in Manhattan, KS. She received her MA in Art History and Ceramics from Wichita State University and was teacher of art in schools in Kansas and Missouri

The Catrina exhibit will open on October 12th, during the Dia de los Muertos Festival, and will be on view until November 3, 2023. There will be select Catrinas hanging at the Longmont Public Library as well.
JOYANNA GITTINGS AND THE ART ATTACK KIDS- “ALEBRIJES”
What are alebrijes?The alebrije is a Mexican handicraft traditionally made with the technique of paper mache or wood. It is a fantastic figure that combines physiognomic elements of various animals, whether real or imaginary, and is characterized by being painted in vibrant colors.Intertwined with indigenous beliefs and traditions, these mythical beings represent the connection of nature with the supernatural. The vibrant colors and extravagant patterns reflect the biological and cultural richness of the region, and their creation is an act of respect towards natural resources and an interpretation of local spirituality.Joyanna and the kids of Art Attack have made all the alebrijes in the gallery. You may find them in surprising places, so keep your eyes open!

The Firehouse Art Center invites local artists to create their representation of La Calavera Catrina. La Calavera Catrina is a zinc etching by the Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. Originally a commentary on the Mexican natives who, Posada felt, were aspiring to adopt European aristocratic traditions. She has become an icon of the Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The Catrina exhibit will open on October 12th, during the Dia de los Muertos Festival, and will be on view until November 3, 2023. There will be select Catrinas hanging at the Longmont Public Library as well.
JOYANNA GITTINGS AND THE ART ATTACK KIDS- “ALEBRIJES”
What are alebrijes?The alebrije is a Mexican handicraft traditionally made with the technique of paper mache or wood. It is a fantastic figure that combines physiognomic elements of various animals, whether real or imaginary, and is characterized by being painted in vibrant colors.Intertwined with indigenous beliefs and traditions, these mythical beings represent the connection of nature with the supernatural. The vibrant colors and extravagant patterns reflect the biological and cultural richness of the region, and their creation is an act of respect towards natural resources and an interpretation of local spirituality.Joyanna and the kids of Art Attack have made all the alebrijes in the gallery. You may find them in surprising places, so keep your eyes open!

//WORDS
Artists live by many different philosophies, but sometimes, we get too caught up in the details of our work to truly recognize our intentions. Words is a series of Colorado creative retrospectives that encapsulates an artist’s intentions in a single word. This word reflects the artist’s philosophy and their current state of work. Each video is tailored to the artist and the word they choose. These videos are not about their work but about their thoughts.

Event Details
Inspired by the Ralph Ellison novel “Invisible Man,” YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project deals with the artist’s venture of becoming a resident of this city.
Boulder, Colo.: Anna Tsouhlarakis works in sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with degrees in Native American Studies and Studio Art. She went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in Sculpture.
In cities such as Portland, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio, Tsouhlarakis has created various iterations of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT. For her installation at East Window, Tsouhlarakis uses the framework of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT to reflect and illustrate her journey as a dark brown woman and the racial interactions that create moments of absolute hilarity and horror.
Her work has been part of national and international exhibitions at venues such as Rush Arts in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Portrait Gallery. Tsouhlarakis has participated in various art residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Yaddo, and was the Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at Colorado College for the 2019-2020 academic year. She was awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2021 and recently received a 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.

Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.
October 9, 2024, 5:30 – 8 p.m.
Photo/Video opportunities of History Colorado Center’s newest exhibition and opening celebration featuring the performance of a traditional Chinese Lion Dance from 6 – 6:15 p.m. as well as interview opportunities with History Colorado staff, community collaborators, and guests are available.
