Classic Cowboy Comics
King Gallery | May 4 - September 23, 2018
Comics and cartoons played a part in creating the image of the American Cowboy. Many fine painters such as C. M. Russel, Fred Harmon, Kim Mackey and George Phippen also portrayed the heroic and humorous side of cowboy life in comic books, postcards, and just quick drawings on personal letters. You’re sure to see some familiar faces like Red Ryder and Curley and the rest of the Out Our Way gang.

Representing the West People's Choice Winner
Regional Gallery | May 12 - September 3, 2018
Pueblo artist Radeaux paints the fauna of his native Colorado. The life sized images of birds and other animals are not merely idealized illustrations but explore the patterning and geometrics found in nature. A veteran of many art exhibits, Radeaux has provided illustrations for a variety of publications. He is an avid birder and lends his skills in seasonal bird surveys. Radeaux is the “Deaux” of the John Deaux art gallery.

Santos: The Bishop Tafoya Collection
2nd Floor Foyer May 26 – September 23, 2018
Former Bishop Arthur Tafoya was not only an avid collector of Santos, the images of saints created in New Mexico and southern Colorado, but after his retirement became a student and artist himself. In 2011, the Bishop gifted the majority of his impressive collection to the Arts Center to compliment and augment our Ruth Gast Collection of Santos. His donation more than tripled the Arts Center’s Santos collection. The Bishop’s donation includes excellent examples of both historic and contemporary bultos, retablos, crucifixes, and nativities.

Luster: Realism and Hyperrealism in Contemporary Automobile & Motorcycle Painting
White Gallery | June 8 - September 30, 2019
The birth of the modern car occurred over 150 years ago in 1860 in Germany. In the United States, Henry Ford Company was established in 1901. A year later it morphed into Cadillac Motor Company which Ford left, along with the rights to his name. A new Ford Motor Company emerged in 1903 in Detroit with backing from a dozen investors, including the Dodge brothers. The same year, 1903, Harley-Davidson, was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Much has changed since those early automotive years, but perhaps nothing more so than America’s love affair with cars and motorcycles, which has expressed itself culturally and artistically in so many ways.
