'Step, Repeat'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Pattern—an artistic, musical, literary, or mechanical repeating design or form—has been employed as an embellishment throughout the history of civilization, but it has achieved its own power and meaning in modern and postmodern art. No longer dismissed as ornament or ‘women’s work’, pattern can be abstracted, magnified, made into subject, or it can make a subversive statement in the hands of a contemporary artist. This call invited artists to submit works that use a repeated pattern as an intentional, essential element. All mediums were considered, previously exhibited works were not be accepted.

'Signs of Spring'
Presented by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio at Laura Reilly Studio Colorado Springs, CO
Warm or wintery, the signs of spring brings out the dramatic. Birdsong sounds louder as the sun rises. Tiny bulbs begin to peek out from a sprinkle of green in odd places. Indian Paintbrush is ready to bloom on high mountain hillsides. Trails start drying out enough to haul a plein air painting setup out without getting stuck in mud. Garden of the Gods feels fresh and revitalized. Winds and storms race around leaving the scent of budding leaves and dust in their wake. The mountain peaks are the last to shake off their snow, white melting away to reveal rocks and boulders amid twisted bushes and trees. Stop by Laura Reilly Fine Art Gallery and Studio from March 1st through the end of the month and enjoy boldly painted canvases that celebrate spring in the Rockies.

'Clamour'
Presented by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College at Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College Colorado Springs, CO
Contemporary Film, Video, and Sound: Maria Gaspar: "Clamour" In summer of 2021, the Cook County Department of Corrections began the demolition of two jail dormitories. The buildings, perhaps best known for housing the likes of Al Capone, were more than a hundred years old. The artist Maria Gaspar, who grew up in Little Village, the same neighborhood where the jail is located, documented the demolition and site restoration over the course of two years. She positioned her camera across the street from the project, fixing its view on the long concrete wall that marks the border between the jail and the residential neighborhood. The result is Clamour, which is sixty hours and twenty minutes in duration and captures one section of the building block being torn down, from start to finish. The extended run time of the video — which makes it effectively impossible to view in a single sitting — creates a tension between the persistence of carceral architecture and the possibility of resisting the logic it sustains. This tension is amplified by the scale of the institution itself. To this day, Cook County Jail remains the largest single-site jail in the United States, with an average daily population of approximately 9,000 people. The work’s collapsing of nine months of demolition, and a history that spans generations, offers a way to imagine the dismantling of structures that have shaped the lives of people both inside and outside the jail’s walls. As part of the exhibition, the public is invited to…

From the Artist: In Sacred Roots, the symbiotic relationship between ancient heritage and the natural environment takes center stage. Drawing from centuries-old Indian art forms, this solo exhibition celebrates nature not as a backdrop, but as a primary protagonist. From the regal display of stylized peacocks to the fluid movements of aquatic life, each work serves as a testament to the belief that every living being carries an essential story. By bringing these earth-based traditions to a modern audience, the collection highlights a global yearning for harmony with our surroundings. The exhibition is a rhythmic dance of pattern and pigment, offering a meditative space where viewers can reconnect with the "Tree of Life" and the vibrant spirits of the animal kingdom. Through intricate linework and intentional geometry, these pieces translate the pulse of the natural world into a sophisticated, contemporary visual language.
