This weekend the Cherry Creek Arts Festival is taking place here in Denver. This is the largest and most prestigious art festival in Colorado, and always takes place around the 4th of July, when the temperatures are usually in the upper 90s - perfect for browsing the artwork. This show is highly selective, and features artists from all over the country. The artwork is always very good, and this year is no exception. For a change of pace, I decided to walk around the festival on my way home from work Friday evening, when the sun was lower and the temperatures a bit cooler, instead of mid-day on the weekend, which I usually do.
And as usual, there was a lot of photography on display, too. Most of the photography was black and white, a popular choice for artists who want to differentiate themselves from the digital world, although there was some digital art on display, too. In one case this consisted of weird creatures photo-shopped into various landscapes - not my thing, but perhaps perfect for your living room wall. It was a fun evening, and I was able to take in all the booths before closing time. And you are in luck if you live near Denver - the show continues until 6:00 P.M. Sunday evening. Still time to get that life size sculpture for the patio.
