November brings the second of two group shows featuring artists from The Mix Co-op at Niza Knoll Gallery, 915 Santa Fe Drive. Work by Mark Friday, Nancy Enyart, Victoria Eubanks and Kristy Melodia will be on view Nov 1 – Dec 22, 2024, with a public Artists Reception on Friday, Nov 15, 5-8 pm.

The Mix has been in the back space of Niza Knoll Gallery since it opened in 2010. While the roster of member artists has shifted over the years, their art styles always meld well together and are a wonderful addition to the monthly featured exhibition. Once a year they split up and host two group shows in the main gallery. Long-time member Nancy Enyart will continue to charm viewers with her hand-built ceramic pieces featuring all manner of creatures great and small—rhinos, birds, elephants and more! Sometimes solo, sometimes paired with friends or perched on structures, her sculptural pieces have muted colors but plenty of personality.

Victoria Eubanks is a mixed-media artist and long-time co-op member. The work in this show aims to give viewers a sense of place or sense of space—physical or dreamlike. Her paintings offer purposeful shapes; leaves, houses, chairs, a ladder, roughly rendered and reminiscent of something you can’t quite put your finger on. They offer intangible connection.

Mark Friday expresses his quirky sense of humor through his assemblage sculptures. Some works in this show are figurative and filled with character, while others conjure fun contraptions or meaningless mechanisms. All are interesting collections of found objects combined to make something new and unique.

Having been a co-op member in previous years, Kristy Melodia, has rejoined The Mix! Finding her inspiration in humor and nature, this exhibit will showcase her delightful ceramic bee-hive bud vases and life-like sneaker sculptures. Her fabric-art skills will also be on display with colorful, dimensional “paintings” made from wool.

Niza Knoll Gallery is located at 915 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s popular Art District on Santa Fe and specializes in intriguing conceptual exhibits featuring work by local and regional artists. The gallery participates in the district's First Friday, Third Friday, and Sundays on Santa Fe events in addition to hosting private concerts, and guest speakers associated with the exhibitions. The Mix Co-op, an integral part of the gallery, features eight local artists and is open during regular hours Thursday–Sunday, 1–4 pm. Visit www.nizaknollgallery.com to view and purchase works online and for the most up-to-date calendar of events.

Abstract paintings in oil, water media, and mixed media on canvas or yupo.

One of the oldest living folk art traditions in the United States is the creation of devotional art that depicts divine icons and symbols, particularly Catholic patron saints. Santos “Saints” are made with wood and bultos are painted or unpainted scupltures.

Retablos are devotional paintings redder that are on wood. Santos use nature pigments native to the land because when this art form started priests had to travel to Chihuahua Mexico for supplies. Supplies were very expensive and this led to the use of indigenous painting techniques and material that were native to the land. This tradition dates back for over 4 centuries to when the Spanish settlers first arrived in the Southwest.

D’art Gallery is proud to host three semi-solo shows of gallery members from December 19, 2024 through January 12, 2025.

Nea Brown: “Solace”; K Jackson: “Boundless Beauty”; Marilyn Wells: “Primal” will be on exhibit in our main gallery. Opening reception Friday December 20, 6-9pm

Nea Brown “Solace”
“To give comfort, to soothe, to make cheerful.” Nea Brown finds solace in painting plants. This exhibit contains cheerful flowers, fanciful forests, and trees. Finding beauty even in dead trees consoles her. Nea’s paintings provide her with a counterweight to the world’s frantic pace, dramatic changes, and seemingly insurmountable challenges. Her paintings focus on the cycle of life from birth to death. They also give her joy and a sense of playfulness. Nea receives so much just from tubes of oil paint, brushes, and canvas.

K Jackson “Boundless Beauty”
K Jackson has spent over ten years capturing images using a perspective of simplicity and elegance. Known for her bold yet minimalist style, her photography explores the subtle interplay of light, texture, and emotion, revealing the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. With a unique ability to see things differently, she creates images that feel both timeless and personal, inviting viewers to pause and reflect. Her work has been exhibited locally and across the United States, earning acclaim for its striking yet understated aesthetic. Featured in DARIA Magazine, she continues to explore the boundaries of fine art photography, blending the technical with the creative to craft visuals that leave a lasting impression.

Marilyn Wells “Primal”
Marilyn Wells’ Primal paintings are rooted in the ancient practice of Japanese Zen Buddhist sumi-e (ink on paper) but go beyond technique to tap into the original, primal human instinct to express feelings of body, heart, and soul before thought and speech evolved. With black strokes on spacious white backgrounds, these meditative works invite viewers to pause and reconnect with their essence. Inspired by Zen, haiku, and art as meditation, Primal bridges the raw and the transcendent, opening a dialogue with the timeless Origin—the source of all life.

Sync Gallery Members’ Group Show, ALL IN! reflects the idea of our collective commitment to ART. Each member artist's work is a broad personal expression of deas, emotions, perceptions, and our collective place in the community. The work also reflects each artist's way of processing the events of this past year.

The artists participating in ALL IN! are Elvi Bjorkquist, David C. Dixon, Nathan Dominik, Alexandra Elliott, Pamela Gilmore Hake, Karin Kempe, Debra Livingston, Lois R. Lupica, Sandy Marvin, Johanna Morrell, Dagmar Nickerson, Phyllis Rider, Patricia Rucker, Clare Scott and Helene Strebel.

Bitfactory Gallery is proud to wrap up the year with the first solo exhibition by visual artist and musician Deca entitled As Long as Hope Shows Something Green running December 20 through January 11, 2025, at 851 Santa Fe Drive.

The paintings in the show highlight the dreamlike, animated quality of his artwork, achieved through thoughtfully and precisely rendered patterns and colors using acrylic paint and ink on wood. To put more formal terms to his style, one might recognize elements of Tessellation Art with clear references to Modern Psychedelic Art.

The public is invited to meet and visit with the artist during an Opening Reception at the gallery on December 20, 6-9 p.m., and to view the exhibition during First Friday, Jan 3, 6-9 p.m. and regular gallery hours Tues -Sun, 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Red - physical disabilities
Gold - neurodiversity
White - invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed
Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression Green - for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities.
The faded black background represent mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse. The diagonal band cuts across the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from normate society, also representing light and creativity cutting through the darkness.
