Win Basket of Art!

A huge basket of works by some 30 of the Denver Art Trail artists will be given away as part of the Trail. Tickets will be sold at the Preview Party on Dec. 3 and at each stop on the Trail both Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets are only $5 each for a chance to win hundreds of dollars worth of beautiful works from local artists.

Money raised through the raffle will go to the Florence Soule Shanklin Library in Denver to buy art books.

Photos of the basket will be on display at each stop. Check it out, then buy your tickets to win this fantastic prize and help the library grow, as well. The winner will be notified by Tuesday, Dec. 8.


In Memory

Frank Vasta, one of the artists on the Denver Art Trail, died Monday, Nov. 16.

Frank's paintings still will be displayed and available with Susan Redmond's work at 7983 Salem Springs Drive, as planned.

Frank was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY. After serving in the Army, he graduated from Northeastern University and was employed at a hospital as a pharmacist for 32 years. He and his wife reared their three children in Poughkeepsie. They moved to Denver four years ago. 
He started painting on and off in 1974 using oils and acrylics. At that time, he was taking art classes at the local high school adult education.  After moving to Denver he began using watercolors exclusively. He attended classes at the Cornelius Town Hall with Jim Kerr as the instructor. Frank always enjoyed the outdoors and tended to paint with that in mind.

Final plans for the Preview Party are wrapped up and everything is a GO. Denver is really buzzing about the Trail.
My thanks to all the artists for being so receptive to all we have planned.

Several artists who will be featured at Lake Norman Frameworks during the Denver Art Trail met today to plan the layout and exhibit areas of the space. A special thank you to Greg Cox for his generosity in extending the use of his frame shop.

The excitement is building! See you at the Preview Party.

Welcome

Welcome to the fourth annual Denver Art Trail. Forty-three Denver-area artists and guest artists are opening their studios or displaying their works in local businesses so that you can enjoy their latest creations. You’ll find several artists gathered at some of the stops. All the spaces are overflowing with works in a wide range of mediums.

Just as we have added more artists and stops this year, we’ve also added Sunday afternoon hours to the Trail. You’ll have time to visit more stops and to linger and chat with the artists along the way.

Plan your tour with the map on this site. Just click on the Map link at the top of this page.

Whether you prefer paintings, sculpture, wood turning, pottery, the written word, jewelry, photography or some other expression of the arts, you’re sure to find it along the Trail, and just in time to select unique gifts for friends, family, business associates or yourself. You’ll also find items in a wide range of prices so that even with our tight economy, you still can give beautiful artwork.

Several area businesses are involved in the Trail this year, both as stops featuring several artists and as sponsors.

You'll find links to artists' websites on the left side of this page. 

We hope you will enjoy the Trail as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you.

 


Location Change

Early maps show 16 stops on the Denver Art Trail.

Cool Beans coffee shop, stop 1 on some maps, has been dropped. There are now 15 stops.

Click on the MAP link at the top of this page for the updated map and list of stops.


Premier Sponsor

We are delighted to have Allen Tate Realtors and their Westlake Group partner with the Denver Art Trail this year. They have provided beautiful homes to serve as display space for several of our artists, as well as the site for our first-ever Preview Party. Trail visitors can take time to tour these homes with a Realtor, who will be on site during the Trail.

In The News

The Denver Art Trail and individual members are getting great coverage in area publications.

The Denver newspaper, news@norman, has been running an article on an artist each week, as well as information about the Trail.

Lake Norman Magazine ran a beautiful page on the Trail in its November issue.

The Charlotte Observer's North Neighbors section mentioned the businesses that will participate.

The Charlotte Observer's Lake Norman News section ran a great page 1 feature on the Trail and artists Ginny Boyd and Bill Walker in its Dec. 2 edition.

The Lincoln Times-News will feature the Trail and two artists, Raine Middleton and Karen Banker, in its Life section on Dec. 4.

We're proud to be worthy of coverage in so many area outlets.
