Posted on May 3, 2012 by Tennyson Studios

A lot of excitement once again this month at Tennyson Studios and all of Tennyson Street for the First Friday Art Walk. The night kicks off at 5:15pm for the dedication of the Streetscape Project as well as the public art which has been installed at 41st and Tennyson.

Michael Calanan captures the unique moment and the story of Denver’s neighborhoods, while Andrew Pogue shows the motion giving an abstract sense of place in his images, letting you create your own story. The photographers will be on hand.

R2 Gallery and Studio had a great show in April with artists Tonia Zambrano & Berit Naeseth, they will be carried over at the gallery for another month. This is in addition to the artwork from Ryan Rice. If you have not seen this work, you will want to be sure to stop by at this extended opportunity.

gallery nrc: Scene While Driving

Posted on May 1, 2012 by Tennyson Studios

This month at gallery nrc, two photographers explore the landscape they encounter from moving vehicles in two totally different styles. Michael Calanan captures the unique moment and the story of Denver’s neighborhoods, while Andrew Pogue shows the motion giving an abstract sense of place in his images, letting you create your own story. When traveling by car most people think about what they are passing, and these two photographers take that feeling in the familiar area of Colorado.

Michael and Andrew are commercial photographers living in Denver, Colorado who found their personal work is complimentary to each other. Michael is an editorial photographer with specialties in portraiture and live music/event photography. He is also the Vice President of the Colorado Chapter of ASMP. Andrew is an architectural photographer and has recently relocated to the Denver area from Austin, Texas. His background in architecture and visual studies gives his work proclivity from an invaluable perspective.

Join the photographers on Friday May 4th at gallery nrc and talk to them in more detail about their work and vision for their collection of images in Scene While Driving. The gallery will be open May 4th from 6:00 P.M. – 10:00 P.M. as part of the First Friday Art Walk on Tennyson Street.

The show runs through May 19, 2012.

April First Friday at Tennyson Studios

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Tennyson Studios

As previously mentioned this month is the 14th Year Anniversary of the art walk on Tennyson Street. In addition, gallery nrc will be celebrating it’s 3 year anniversary on Friday April 6th.

Kelly Schurger of KMS Studios is celebrating a new location, so stop on during First Friday for the “grand re-opening” at her studio: 4430 Tennyson St. (directly next door to the original location). The space is much larger now giving her more room for hanging her original oil landscape paintings.

There is also lots going on at R2 Gallery. Ryan Rice will be showcasing a new pun painting along with some of his most recent work. Additionally, there are two new artists joining Ryan in the gallery that will bring some excitement: Tonia Zambrano (oil painter/giclees) and Berit Naeseth (mixed media wall based sculptures and sculptural drawings).

You will also want to check out the art at the other galleries within Tennyson Studios this First Friday to see some great new work by those artists as well.
