Brass sculptures, mixed media, abstract art, art inspired by Cubism. They also have jewelry. I am sad to see from the previous review that there is a basement that I totally missed. Another stop in the Santa Fe art district that could be part of a whole day adventure.

The art is astounding and the gallery feels like a fun maze that goes on forever, always with something new to explore. The basement is one of my favorites because you would never know it was there. Then you step into it and never want to leave! Truly cannot pass by this place and not go in when we are in the area. Highly recommend supporting this local spot.

The gallery is one component of EASEL (Englewood Art Studios, Events, Lessons) which is housed on the second floor of an historic building in downtown Englewood. The only downside is that access is a bit difficult. There's a steep staircase of 20 steps in front and an even steeper fire escape off the exterior balcony in the rear. There are three large exhibition spaces. One houses continuing exhibits by the 18 member artists, the other two rotating shows of various types. Nicole focuses on Colorado artists. She has an excellent eye and the work shown continues to be of high quality. There are usually a variety of media including painting (particularly encaustic), printmaking, clay, wood, metal, jewelry, and decorative items. Pricing is in the lower midrange for original work. This is an excellent spot to start or to enhance a collection of quality local art. Nicole is charming, knowledgeable, and helpful. Don't miss this spot if you're visiting Englewood. It's even worth a special trip.

I'm always looking for different things to do and the Mid-Career Smear collection was different. We…read moreparked at a local parking garage on California and 19th St ( $20 for max hours) within walking distance to the historic Colorado Building. Also available is metered street parking. We had a reservation for the collection at 1:45 so we ate at the Tuscany Coffee & Deli (on the 16th St mall) for lunch and while we waited for our appointment. Initially we were confused about the collection hours and we left a VM and emailed but no response to see if we could go to the collection before our scheduled appointment (which we did anyway). A employee explained the appointment was to tell how many people would attend at a certain time. We arrived to find the building doors were locked but luckily a gentleman who works there let us in and also let us into the elevator to the 5th floor where we were greeted by an employee who explained about the visit. We were free to roam the entire 5th floor of each office at our leisure (only saw one other couple) that held exhibits from contemporary artists from around the world. There were information in the rooms providing brief descriptions of each exhibit. Some of the items were interactive. The collection is free and open to the public (Wednesday through Friday with hours from 11am to 5pm). For more information, please visit their site on Facebook or at their website.

The collection of art and items here is definitely very eclectic, but is also very thought provoking at the same time. This collection is definitely much nicer than most free collections that I've seen in other cities, and I would have no problem paying a small fee to visit it again. As the rooms were not busy during my visit, I had the opportunity to slowly enjoy the art - this was good as some areas have quite a bit of items to see in a small area. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're in Denver and enjoy art -- especially unusual and creative art.

D'art, I think, is the newest co-op art gallery in town and it is one of my favorites. It is just…read morecelebrating its seventh anniversary (opened August 1, 2019). The members have been carefully selected and are all accomplished artists in mid to late career. The work shown is always of extemely high quality. The facility was created for previous gallery/studio owners and D'art has made the most of it. The main gallery at the east side of the complex shows work from the 27 member artists plus the occasional outside show. The separate space in the far east corner is the East Gallery which is available for 4-week rentals and shows a variety of work. The other large gallery at the west side is the home of D'art 360, what I would call the associate members. Again, this is used for rotating shows of work by those 30 artists. The adjacent North Gallery has been used lately as a permanent display space with a sample of work by each associate artist. But wait, there's more! Go through a hallway north of the main (east) gallery, past the (nice) restrooms, and you'll find five studio spaces plus the D'art Collection, a curated, permanent gallery of the main co-op members' work. The members of this gallery are serious artists and the work shown is always original and interesting. The prices are reasonable for original work. Their openings are always worth a visit.

I have a long history with this space. My first time showing my work on First Friday at the Santa…read moreFe Arts District was here, in 2010. For that moment in my personal history, I always take the opportunity to swing through whenever I find myself down that direction for any reason. The gallery that was has long since changed hands a couple of times, yet always attracts some good shows. Over the last several months, I have found myself back at this place twice now as a destination. I haven't done that once for this gallery space in over a decade. Artist-owned and operated as a co-op in this iteration, it seems someone was taking notes. The main showroom is still in the front, with the full windows facing the intersection. There are still private, working studio spaces in the back, but the layout has been shuffled a bit. From the outside, the changes are subtle. They have fixed, open hours from Thursday through Sunday, which is a standout in comparison to other galleries in the area. What was the backdoor entrance and an empty corridor is now utilized as functional space for a satellite gallery. The main gallery and this secondary gallery have representation from co-op members. The range of work offers a wide variety of media and artistic voices. There's a smaller "featured" type gallery off the main gallery, which rotates solo shows. All in all, they've really gotten all they can out of the space, tastefully. So, if you're looking for a place that's not the cramped and crazy of First Friday, get on their mailing list or check their calendar when you're planning a night out. After all, this is the place D'ART.

Not only was his work AMAZING (seriously, go check it out next week at First Friday!) but the whole building was really cool. It was a smaller studio, but it was beautiful with half of the walls having exposed bricks.
