As we approach the fall 2022, Colorado natives and visitors await the changing of leaves.

Visiting Denver for the fall season? This week you can walk downtown and see incredible artists displaying their skills at sidewalk chalk over 200 artists will be showcased.

A little bit of Italy comes to The Mile High City every summer, thanks to the annual Denver Chalk Art Festival in the Golden Triangle Creative District.

Perhaps you enjoyed sidewalk chalk as a child? At Spirits in the Wind our artist, Susan Clark, works in oil pastels which are another medium that create vibrant colors to her Colorado inspired landscapes and subject matter.

Some of our artists have been out in the mountains, painting iconic Colorado views. Take a piece of your hiking adventures home with artwork from our avid nature enthusiasts: with a giclee from Anne Gifford,  an oil from Lindsay Ternes or a  a photograph of Joan McCracken’s CO hikes. These are just a few of our local artists who work is inspired created during their outdoor experiences in Colorado hiking and exploration. Their work is certain to connect you to your time well spent in beautiful Colorado.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

August 2022

What is an artist trying to say? It is a question you might ask yourself as you pursue the artwork we at display at Spirits in the Wind Gallery in Golden, CO. Meaning in art is rarely simple or straightforward.  When you find a connection to a piece at the Gallery, you may ask yourself, what draws me to this work? Is the artist role of capturing beauty or emotions of a moment in time. How does it make you feel or wonder?  Was it the process or the art works relatability to life, something in your own life? At Spirits, let our team take a moment with your to dive into the creation of these visually meaningful forms. These forms, whether be ceramic, glass, wood or paintings have in common they are about something. It is this “aboutness” which allows us to experience them as art. Let us invite you to an art conversation.
