This year’s Denver Modernism Show has more angles than a Gropius house: fashion, style, architecture, design, retro schlock. But the show’s juried gallery of works primarily by Colorado artists (curated by Lauri Lynnxe Murphy) is unquestionably one of its premier slants. And while the official prize-winners will be determined by…
If the success of the Denver Modernism Show is any indication, Denver loves mid-century Modernism and its ruling principles of clean lines and futuristic thinking. All across the front range, we’re suddenly frozen in the headlights of Mad Men and all that rad retro style that comes with it, and…

It was damn hot on Saturday, but it felt like a good day to wander, so my friend Cathy and I moseyed over to Tennyson Street to see what we could see. More than just about any other neighborhood shopping district in Denver, Tennyson seems to retain that sleepy, retro…

In Invictus, director Clint Eastwood dramatized the story of how Nelson Mandela galvanized the South African people in support of the Springboks, the nation’s rugby team and a surprise contender in the 1995 Rugby World Cup Championship, and in the process, broke through the racial barrier left behind after the…
Seth Lepore, a Naropa grad now living in Vermont, has an adorable face and the kind of richly extemporaneous voice it takes to be a good performance artist. The guy can definitely talk, but he can also delight, making his new work, Losing My Religion: Confessions of a New Age…
In the past, Alana Eve Burman and Teresa Sparks, who together make up Boulder’s Pickpocket Theatre, just worked for the Boulder International Fringe Festival. This year, they’re also performing in the fest, something Sparks says they owe to the Fringe’s own growth as an organization. The appropriately titled Moxie,written by…
“Unique” well describes Long Neck, Big Heart, called “a comic-book cabaret” by its creator, Boulder performance artist/cartoonist/musician Timothy Foss. Starring Santa Claus, a four-year-old boy, a giraffe and Foss himself, the, um, performance (multimedia show? monologue? concert? film screening?) sounds like something we’ve never exactly seen before. But we’ll get…

One thing that draws customers back again and again to Boulder’s Common Era boutique (which also has a Best of Denver-winning sister store on Denver’s Platte Street) is owner Debra Mazur’s one-of-a-kind, repurposed whimsies — jewelry and embellished sweaters and practical purse-fitting card cases — that she sells alongside new…
The fine art of matching fabrics to patterns and stitching together a one-of-a-kind wardrobe out of that marriage has been a lifelong addiction for Denver native Dianne Denholm.

Jason Bosch, a Westword MasterMind and the sole man behind Denver’s ongoing ArgusFest human-rights film series, has had his share of troubles this summer.

It wasn’t a complete surprise to TACtile Textile Arts Center director Dianne Denholm (and the rest of the nonprofit’s board) when she learned a few weeks ago that TACtile would have to vacate its current home in the ailing mall Tamarac Square on August 31 rather than early next year…
