The Cherry Creek Arts Festival took place this past weekend here in Denver, and once again I attended to see what is new in the art world. This festival is one of the top art shows in the country, and artists from all over the country compete to attend. Most of the artwork is pretty expensive, especially large pieces like the ones in the photograph on the left. And let's face it - you have to have just the right place to put some of these things. I'm afraid that one of those sculptures might look a bit overwhelming in my condo, but it certainly would be a good conversation starter.
A lot of the artwork was just plain silly, such as the cartoon-like images in the photograph on the right. However, the smaller images were at least affordable. But are these examples of the best art in the country? There were some other booths that I thought had questionable artwork, too. I made sure to check out all the photography booths, and was surprised to find that some were displaying digital images of people with the head of foxes, or even robot-looking heads. Would you really want to display that on your living room wall? Let's face it - the art world is very mysterious.
