This is the first ever collaboration with the Kirkland Museum and will be the largest display of their Colorado collection ever, thereby allowing enthusiasts the opportunity to see the Kirkland’s vast collection in one location, at one time. The exhibit showcases over 100 Colorado artists chosen from the 350 in the Kirkland Collection – a journey through Colorado art – from early traditional work, to impressionist paintings, surrealism, referential abstraction, and pure abstractions. The upper galleries will showcase works on paper, and the main gallery will display primarily sculptures and works on canvas or panel.
“It has been my longtime aim to organize a major presentation of Colorado art,” states Kirkland’s Director and Curator Hugh Grant. “Conversations with national and regional scholars have supported the judgment that Colorado ranks quite high for its art history among the 50 states. This extensive exhibition will demonstrate the sweep of artistic innovation that occurred in Colorado over 100 years and beyond.”

Review: Arvada Center gives “Joseph” fresh coat ***1/2 (3 1/2 Stars out of 4)
By John Moore
Denver Post Theater Critic
Ladies and gentlemen, direct from Caesar’s Palace via the Grizzly Rose, this is “Jooooooooseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!”
Taking cues from Vegas, “American Idol,” “Top Chef,” the Middle East and the Wild West, the Arvada Center is bringing back go-go-go Joe like you’ve never seen him before…
The sets are spectacular, the dances dizzying, the voices mellifluous and the abundant skin supple. The sets smoke, and the cast is smoking. There’s serious wattage on display here — and the lights are pretty, too.
The costumes — 416 handmade pieces in all — are incredibly detailed. The brothers are dressed in designer jeans and Rockmount-like Western shirts covered by sheepskin leather vests. The backs are adorned with the exact insignia of the tribe each biblical brother went on to create, along with his name inscribed in Hebrew.
