Jessie Rodriguez      Flight Risk: Birds in Peril

This is an animation event inside of a gallery examining the many ways that birds have been made to suffer in my stop motion animations. They often are the narrative drivers of plots and have been put into dangerous situations, fallen into depression, experienced grief, and often emerge to find a new path through transformation. It will feature several animations surrounded by the material that they are composed of. Included in this show is a mini animation showcase called the Pigeon’s Living Room which brings to life an animation scene from a music video in a larger format. It features a depressed, drunk pigeon watching TV. I invited eight indie animators to create short animations for his entertainment to display on his TV to try to lift him from despair.

Related Event: Weird Animators Showcase: 6-9 pm, Saturday May 16th, Wolf Luv Studios, 1516 Teller Street/Sponsored by W 40 Arts

In addition to playing work on the tiny screen, the animators involved in the Pigeon’s Living Room as well as a few additional animators will show work at the inaugural Weird Animators Showcase. Aptly named, many of the animators met at Weird Theater, an event hosted monthly at the venue by Wolf Luv Films. The 12 animators presenting work will show short animations followed by a moderated Q & A after the screening. There will be vending tables for original art and creative projects of the animators involved.

Anthony Porcaro    Observer Effect

Anthony Porcaro’s work consists of surreal and paradoxical photographs meant to challenge the viewer’s perception of reality and certainty.  The work contrasts photography’s legacy as a document of truth and the contemporary state of digital manipulation.

In creating his artwork, Anthony Porcaro builds impossible and fantastical scenes using techniques including miniature construction and digital compositing.  These scenes are then photographed using the wet plate collodion process, which introduces chemical artifacts and physical markers of an authentic photograph.

Phil Rader     Replay

As an artist, I prefer to paint non-objectively using an experimental process. This allows me to create a spontaneous piece derived from the unconscious with the decisions made intuitively without preconception. I’m painting totally in the present moment and enjoy being surprised by what the finished piece looks like. For me, this process is not only a challenge but also a type of escapism and play.
When I view one of my old paintings, I consider my personal growth since and can recognize how different it would be if I painted it in the present. In this show, I’ve taken older paintings and made them into new images that retain some of their original elements.

Christine Rose Curry      Cathartic Clutter

For a moment, these items had an essential purpose. They were useful, they were necessary. In the next moment, these items were worthless, discarded and forgotten. Dread, anxiety, fear and sorrow. For a moment, these emotions consume me. Enrage and overwhelm me. In the next moment, these emotions soothe and caress me. I embrace the chaos. I find Harmony through the pattern of rhythm, and comfort through the act of creation.
An examination of form, an altering of function, and these items can suit a new purpose. A shift in perspective, a dialogue through mark making, and these emotions can befit a new perception.

David Clark     Menagerie

Susan Hazaleus    Reflections

Monoprints reflecting some of the emotions experienced during treatment for a life-threatening illness.

Katie Hoffman    Dream On: New Paintings and Monotypes 

In a year of political upheaval and madness, making art has been my refuge and my solace. I dream of a better world, and hope to share a little bit of that dream with you.

Alane Holsteen    Vita Florens: New Artwork

This show is simple. It reflects the life, luxury, and expansive expressiveness of flowers. In a country that is focused on overwhelming us, making us afraid, and burning down all that is good, it is an act of rebellion to focus on beauty.

Flowers continue to bloom defiantly, and I want that for all of us.

Nolan Tredway     Cryptobotanica

They gather in forgotten corners of cities and wild edges of the planet. A loose constellation, a network beneath our feet. Unassuming and resilient. Some are exalted as medicine, others banished as weeds. But most of them live nameless and wild, building a world parallel to ours. Shh… Shh… Ear to the soil, comrades!

Heather Hauptman     Look Away

Just don’t look. Turn your head away, and plug your ears. It won’t make its way into you, if you refuse to notice. So don’t. It’ll all go away if you just don’t look.

Harita Patel    Pakaja/Ambuja: Born of Mud/Born of Water

In Paṅkaja/Ambuja water functions as both archive and medium, holding memory, labor, and transformation in suspension. Presented here for the first time, Harita Patel’s earliest watercolors on canvas mark the emergence of her enduring lotus and waterlily iconography. These forms surface as quiet metaphors for growth, situated within shared waters of consciousness where each of us occupies a different moment of becoming. Moving between submersion and emergence, the exhibition reflects on how identity and meaning take shape within liminal spaces, those that remain unseen, uncertain, and gently held beneath the surface.

Janine Thornton with Patricia Miller     Humans Not Numbers

This project began with a simple plan: to bring attention to the number of people in Colorado arrested by ICE since Trump took office. Working through the ICE database, it became obvious that significantly more people were arrested than originally believed. Thousands were arrested in Colorado between January and October 2025. In the ICE database, each person becomes an identifying number for tracking. What happens to them after the arrest isn’t always clear. These are our neighbors. Let us remember them.

Special Event: Guest Speaker (Joel Schmidt from Signs of Solidarity Group) and Artist Talk: Saturday, Feb 21, 5:30 – 7 PM

Joel Schmidt from Signs of Solidarity Group, a project of Indivisible Denver Action and Denver’s Immigration Partnership Teams, will be joining us at Edge Gallery for a group discussion on work being done to support our immigrant neighbors. We will talk through available resources for individuals and businesses, ongoing actions and many ways you can help. In addition, Janine Thornton will discuss the ICE data used to create her art in the current show at Edge Gallery. This is a free event. Refreshments will be available.
