Randy Cummings    How Did This Happen?

Well intentioned people everywhere are asking this question. No rational explanation, no massive protest march will ever be able to square how a misanthrope was able to seduce a nation. Greed and stupidity seem to ground the ascension of the man who would be king. Artists have always been the first line of defense in resisting oppression.  Think of Max Beckman who was relentlessly pursued across Europe by fascist ideologues; or Kathe Kolwitz who was censured for her outspoken condemnation of Nazi racism. The list of visual artists who were prescribed as outlaws is a disconsolate fact of history.  My new series of paintings defer to the imagination as an antidote to ideological deception.

Naropa University Visual Art Students    Immediacy

Immediacy is the quality of being immediate, or the feeling that something is real and important. It can be verbal or nonverbal, and can be used in communication, teaching, or describing a feeling. 

Naropa University is honored to be invited to show Naropa student works at the Edge Gallery for a third year!  This year Naropa Gallery Director Charmain Schuh asked the students to develop a theme for this year’s exhibition: Immediacy (the emotions of the moment are all we know). Entering 2025 with changes being developed daily – the present – the now moment – is important to recognize and be aware.

Nolan Tredway     Monsters in Business Suits

Monsters might be all around us. They might be in disguise, hiding in plain sight. Traditionally monsters have been transgressors of societal norms, but often they are those who embrace them the most.

Heather Hauptman    Pounce

She sat quietly minding her own business. Frowns pile up around her, sticking to each other as they become caught in a net of negative notions.  Smiles slip through, sinuous and silky. She notices with little expression. Maybe she is planning, watching, waiting to pounce. Or simply to slink off into the shadows…where she belongs, they’d say.

Harita Patel   Thresholds of Transformation

New work by South Asian artist Harita Patel. These pieces seamlessly blend relief printmaking and painting. Patel incorporates original woodblock and linoleum prints on Japanese rice paper, layered with acrylics, oils and freehand drawings. Inspired by the timeless imagery of the lotus and waterlily as symbols of resilience and transformation, the works present vibrant, multidimensional compositions that evoke the edges of humane experience. The interplay of mediums reflects a harmony between the old and new, inviting viewers to rediscover the familiar in fresh, unexpected forms. Rooted in experimentation, these works celebrate the power of embracing change at its thresholds.

Jennifer Pettus    Begin Again

New mixed media work that explores beauty and value by challenging traditional notions of artistry.

Bird Tales by Sara-Lou Klein with guest artist Zoa Ace showing New Works

Included in this exhibition, Sara-Lou Klein has transformed some of her experiences into whimsical tales. From birds & owls to humans, scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, her art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with the death of loved ones. The media of colored pencils, acrylic paint, pens, oil sticks, and collage material on wood panels and upcycled wood are used to explore and experiment with these imaginary tales.

She is inviting the community to bring a box of tampons, pads, mini-pads, or other personal hygiene products, to the gallery, in exchange for a die-cut vinyl sticker (featuring her art). The collected items will be donated to The Action Center of Jefferson County – who assists those facing hardship and homelessness.

Zoa’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum, the Vance Kirkland Museum, The El Pomar Foundation (Colorado Springs), Kaiser Permanente, Children’s Hospital and the Maven Hotel (downtown Denver). Her oil paintings, watercolors, and collages are also included in numerous private collections across the United States and Europe. Her paintings typically depict people and animals, often in theatrical settings, as if they are actors on a stage. Symbols of chance, luck, hope, and mystery may be present within her scenes.

Kay Galvan     Entanglements

Entanglements is an installation of fiber art and drawings assembled to describe the idea of our ever-present situation. Whether an inner encounter with our ego, or outer enmeshment with other beings, our surroundings or the planet; entanglements describe our existence. We are a network of connections we have created.  Some seem to trap us while others suggest possibility – they all tell us something about ourselves.

In Memorium

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our amazing artists, Tom Robertson.

Tom had recently rejoined us after a long hiatus. This is a tragic loss of a talented member, dear friend, and incredible artist. You will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for your kindness and camaraderie.
