The Curtis Center for the Arts is proud to present Curtis Creates: A Faculty & Staff Show, on view now through December 20, 2025. This exhibition is free and open to the public during regular gallery hours (M–F, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. and Sat., 10 a.m.–4 p.m.) at 2349 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village.
In Curtis Creates, viewers will encounter a wide range of two- and three-dimensional works made by the accomplished Colorado artists that comprise our team of instructors, the members of the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council, and our very own Curtis Center staff. The depth of talent showcased in this exhibition exemplifies the quality of instruction in our art programing and represents our institution as a community hub for locally esteemed artists.
Some notable works include Pat Aaron’s monumental piece Joie de Vivre, in which energetic marks compose a rolling expanse of bespeckled green and white that is reminiscent of the natural landscape. With a practice that seeks to “stretch the boundaries of abstraction,” Aaron’s work responds to the beauty of nature and humanity through the colorful possibilities of encaustic.
Julia Rymer’s presence in the show is also noteworthy, drawing viewers in with works that behave almost archaeologically, evolving like “geological strata, [with] layers building up over time.” Abstract, yet evocative of horizons and Colorado landscapes, her work considers the passage of time and personal heritage through the expressive application of paint and the process of gathering and embedding archival materials.
We are offering multiple opportunities to engage with the artists throughout the show. You can join our panel discussion on November 15 at 11 a.m. or visit an artist demo on December 6 and 13 at 11 a.m. All events are free to attend.
