I visited with my friend Joe Higgins, seen in the photograph on the left, yesterday afternoon in front of his artwork at the Art Student League of Denver's Summer Art Market. Joe specializes in monotype printmaking, and after being inspired by a recent exhibition of Fillmore Concert Posters held at the Denver Art Museum, has produced a large number of very impressive and very colorful prints. Joe has recently retired from several of his jobs (including at the University of Denver Bookstore), giving him a lot more time to spend on his art, although he still teaches classes two days a week at the Art Student League. Be sure to check out his work at https://www.joehigginsmonotypes.com/.
The Summer Art Market takes place each year in front the ASLD's building at 2nd and Grant Streets. It features over 150 artists working in a variety of mediums. I especially like this show because it takes place in an historic Victorian era neighborhood, and to me the houses and streets where the event takes place add to the wonderful ambiance. And many of the people who attend this festival come every year, and greet the artists as old friends. I strongly suggest you put it on your calendar for next year.
