I heard a segment on public radio that really inspired me. I think they are bold, brave and paving the way to the future of art. If you want to see high quality art from a diverse body of artists working in a wide variety of mediums, this is the place for you! Their open mindedness to the possibilities in art will keep me coming back for sure!

Niza Knoll's gallery sticks out as one of the best ones with its consistent high quality. The place looks often entirely different ever 4 weeks. The one constant is the friendly and knowledgeable owner. The themes can be very original. I remember a circus exhibition in 2011 that was really impressive. I feel this place is enhancing the Denver art scene and I am looking forward to many more exhibitions showing items or styles that I haven't seen before but which I will remember for a long time :)

Another free gallery in the Santa Fe Arts District. They had a couple different artists on when I…read morevisited. Some very intriguing, modern, realistic art. Unlike some of the other galleries in this area, this is set up like a traditional gallery--paintings spaced out and well presented. Easy to view everything. Not set up like some type of variety or art shop. As I've said in other similar reviews, near a few other galleries in this fading arts district, so you can visit a few different types of art. No real restaurants nearby. But worth a stop.

The gallery is owned and managed by Bill Thomason. He curates cutting edge work from local, national, and international creators. Bill consistently puts together challenging group shows and finds remarkable exhibits from individual contributors. The gallery consists of a front and back room offering a good amount of exhibition space. Bill does a good job of hanging and displaying the work so that it's easy to evaluate. The art studio building is accessible from a side door of the gallery. Many of the studio artists open their spaces for visits from the public on First Fridays. This is definitely one of the most consistently interesting galleries on Santa Fe Drive. You should certainly check it out during any visit to the Art District.

Also, I know there is a trend in Aspen and other Denver galleries of pushing Russian and Chinese artists. I prefer the American work and talent. The curation for each show is so particular, you will only see the best of the best. Finally I have to mention they treat their artist like royalty. Another gallery owner Bobbie (something or other) has a notorious reputation for demanding her artist take certain directions. Gallery 1261 nourishes their artists and allows them to be independent. My money is on 1261.
