GALLERIES

Although the Emmanuel Art Gallery no longer serves as home to a religious congregation, artist Trine Bumiller’s vision for the former house of worship is nonetheless inspired. The building “almost asked for a biblical theme,” Bumiller says.

At the Still Point of the Turning of the World: Black in America captures the responses of several artists to the tension between living with the status quo and imagining new futures. The exhibition is composed of four distinct projects with touch points to the world-renowned pianist Awadagin Pratt.

Each year, students at CU Denver are invited to submit visual artwork for a juried exhibition to be displayed at the Emmanuel Art Gallery. This year’s exhibition, “Guilty” was curated by Kyoko Ono, who has chosen a selection of works to be displayed out of the 80 total submissions she was handed. The show runs from May 10-19th. A celebration of the show is scheduled for May 10th, 3-5pm.
