The NoBo (North Broadway) Art District is Boulder's only official arts district. It dates back to a…read more2009 revival of the First Fridays arts open house tradition and now encompasses more than 350 professional artists and creative businesses--mostly in the North Broadway and Lee Hill corridors. Administrative offices are at the NoBo on the Corner location which also includes work, meeting, and exhibition space. The Bus Stop gallery is a formal exhibition location while the NoBo Art Center is a more casual work, meeting, and exhibition spot. A group of 20 to 30 studios, galleries, and related businesses is open from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on the first Friday of every month. There are regular exhibits at the three NoBo gallery spaces (Art Center, Bus Stop, and On the Corner) plus the independent East Window gallery. The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art is planning to construct a large new building plus related facilities at Broadway and Violet Avenue which will be the North Boulder Creative Campus. Construction is estimated to start in late 2027 with completion by late 2029. The Art District is actively working on the streetscape with sculptures, murals, lighting, and other installations in progress. NoBo also curates members' art in local businesses. There's a monthly podcast, a newsletter, a book with member profiles and NoBo information, a calendar of events, and a comprehensive Web site. North Broadway was an underutilized part of town only a few years ago, but is becoming a vibrant area filled with modern housing, new businesses, and a rising arts scene. It should really be impressive over the next few years.

Parking is very difficult as most of the surrounding streets are marked, "No Parking." There is a lot for tenants behind the building which is marked, "Permit Only," but the gallery manager said it was OK to park there. The gallery is in the northeast corner of the building, facing Broadway. The space is long and narrow. A wall of glass overhead doors limits exhibition space, but provides lots of light. The gallery showcases work from the 250+ NoBo members plus work from established artists along the Front Range. The front lobby of the gallery contains the NoBo Artisan Gift Shop which shows original art, decorative objects, and gifts. The space is available to rent for commercial and private events.

The NoBo Art Center is part of the NoBo Art District off Broadway in North Boulder. It's a bit hard…read moreto find. If you're going north on Broadway, turn left when you see Wapos Mexican restaurant, then follow the driveway to the south of the restaurant building. Immediately behind Wapos you'll see a low, green building with garage-type business units. The first space is the NoBo Art Center. This facility is used for monthly art exhibits, selected from NoBo Art District member proposals. There is also an active schedule of events including workshops, classes, and performances. The space is available to rent by NoBo members. This is a small, basic space for art exhibition, but it has good, white walls, a decent lighting system, and a reasonably high ceiling. It provides an acceptable gallery for viewing art. I have only made one visit so far, so I can't comment on the quality of the NoBo membership, but the exhibit I saw of Mollie Jackson's work was quite impressive. Some of her pieces were fairly large-scale and the space was able to accommodate them.

Though a very hot day, we enjoyed the tour. We had heard about this project and living nearby in Boulder we thought it would be fun to do with some friends who were visiting and staying in Lafayette. The Cupcake was a favorite of some as well as the Butterfly made from washers. If we have time on a cooler day, we will try to go back and see the rest of them. As we were leaving the area, we could see a couple more from the car but walking up to them is actually ideal.

My meeting with Robert at the Mind, Body, Spirit Expo at the Valley Forge Convention Center involved me looking at his booth and having him ask if I'd like a free palm reading. Normally, I HATE having my palm read since I feel it doesn't tell me anything. However, his free 5 minute reading was extremely informative; there was not an ounce of doubt in my mind that he knew exactly what he was talking about. He didn't hesitate once, which is the mark of an experienced reader. Then I scheduled a 20 minute reading about my life's purpose which was conveniently recorded for me on CD for me to keep. But the unique thing was that rocks and beads were used instead of cards, palms,etc. I was able to ask 4-5 questions, and he would tell me exactly what the rocks themselves meant as well as what the position they were in meant. He was a fantastic guy as well as reader. If you ever get the chance to see him in action, definitely take advantage! (He's from Colorado but travels from time to time!)
