Start
your holiday season at DAVA (Downtown Aurora Visual Arts) this year!
Join us for our annual holiday show and sale of original art by DAVA
youth and local artists. Youth at DAVA create special works of art year
round and this is their contribution to the holiday spirit of giving. Proceeds from this exhibit support year round art programs for youth at DAVA.
DAVA is located at 1405 Florence Street, one block south of East Colfax
Avenue in the Aurora Arts District. The exhibit opens with a reception from 4 pm to 7:30 pm on Friday December 5th, 2014. Works will be on display until January 9th, 2015.
DAVA
is a wonderful destination for handmade holiday gifts. Following the
theme of cultural connections, youth experimented with a wide range of
materials and techniques to create original pottery, jewelry, wearable
art, lamps, paintings, prints, baskets and ornaments. Many students used
traditional craft techniques and patterns in their work. You will find
treasures to keep or give away!
Guest
artists contribute to the wide selection of artwork. The exhibit will
include ambrotypes and cyanotypes by Ameet Patel reflecting his cultural
heritage, original collage works by Elizabeth Truglio highlighting
Colorado’s cultural landscapes, and original pendants by Nicole
Banowetz. In addition, Kuru Street will contribute recycled plastic gift
boxes and animal sculptures made out of flip flops rescued from the
shores of South Africa.
The
exhibit is free and open to the public from 10 am to 5 pm, Monday to
Friday and by appointment. For more information, e-mail gallery@davarts.org or call 303 367 5886.
