Two art exhibitions debut at the Red Brick Center for the Arts on June 5
Aspen, CO— The Red Brick Center for the Arts is excited to present two new gallery exhibitions opening on June 5, 2025, with a public reception starting at 5:00 p.m.
The “2025 Colorado Juried” exhibition features innovative works that experiment with materials, critique contemporary society, and explore diverse themes such as motherhood, the perception of light and color, and travel. It promotes a deep and engaging experience through thought-provoking reflections on the human condition.
The exhibition will feature work by Colorado artists, who were chosen as finalists by jurors Becca Hoffman, co-founder and director of Aspen Art Fair and founder of 74thards, and Bob Chase, co-founder of Aspen Art Fair and owner of Aspen’s Hexton Gallery. The artists include Chuck Brenton, Annie Bell, Brenda Biondo, Lauren Mayer, Melissa Parrott Quimby, Marilyn Lowey, Alberto Palma, Sarah Wright, James Kelly, Savanna LaBauve, Darya Warner, Kristina Davies, Chloe Wilwerding, Shelly Marolt, Heather Schulte, Lydia Riegle, Andrew Roberts-Gray, Talia Parsell, Janelle Anderson, Kelly Peters, Jon Francis, Erin Morrison, Wendy Flottmeyer, Shawna Miller, Laura Merage, Susan Walker, Ethan Merritt, Cassandra Chalfant, and Hunter Hogan.
During the evening, three selected artworks will receive awards of $500, $300, and $200, respectively. Winners will be announced on-site.
In the West Gallery, Wendi Schneider’s exhibition, “Reverent Alchemy,” will be on display. This collection features nature and wildlife photographs printed on vellum or kozo, with hand-applied layers of gold leaf on the verso.
Schneider says, "In those magical moments when my eyes and essence are engaged, I photograph what I feel, as much as I see. The images are layered digitally with color and texture to blur the lines between the real and imagined.
Through her photography, Schneider captures and conveys emotional, sometimes transcendent, experiences of life.
The city invites the entire community to experience an evening of art. Come to enjoy both exhibitions and immerse yourself in the creativity and talent of artists from all over Colorado.
