Opening Reception: Under a Clear Blue Sky

LOCATION: PlatteForum - 3575 Ringsby Ct

CATEGORY: Art Events

UPCOMING DATE AND TIME:

• Friday, Feb 28, 2025  6pm - 8pm

Mark your calendars for Friday the 28th for the "Under a Clear Blue Sky" opening reception! This exhibition is a collection of collages and prints by PlatteForum's resident artist Lucy Holtsnider and ArtLab interns answering the question, "What could Suncor be?". The Suncor oil refinery in Commerce City has been a known source of pollution and severe adverse health effects for decades. These works explore how the site could be transformed into something new that both serves the interests of the surrounding neighborhoods and contributes to Colorado's ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Inspired by activists like Favianna Rodriguez and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, this exhibition is an exercise into Climate Futurism, using art to dream up a better, more sustainable future.

Food and beverages will be offered during the event, and PlatteForum's gallery has free parking and wheelchair accessible ramp. See you then!
