Extended PixPal Exhibit Viewing Hours at Broomfield Auditorium
The Pixelated Palette & Paintbrush Invitational Exhibit (PixPal) will be open to the public to view in the lobby of the Broomfield Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the following Saturdays: April 26, May 3, May 10 and May 17. This exhibit can also be viewed during scheduled public events in the Broomfield Auditorium.
The PixPal exhibit is the first exhibit of visual art in Broomfield’s newest cultural facility. The exhibit opened April 8 and closes May 18.
The exhibit space is located adjacent to the 295-seat Broomfield Auditorium, located next to the Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library at 3 Community Park Road, northwest of Lamar and First Avenue in Broomfield, CO.
The idea for
Pixelated Palette & Paintbrush is to promote digital paintings by regional
artists. To date, artists participating include Eulalie Brown, Ann Bunn, Steven
Friedman, Christine Gabrielle Graziano, Lanse Kleaveland, Ann-Marie Kuczun,
Michael Arnold Mages, Mark Newkirk, Sandra Newkirk, Kate O'Kami, Gail L. Pepin,
Mary (Polly) Phillips and Charlotte Ziebarth.
These fine artists, photographers, craftsmen and musicians started out using
traditional studio materials and techniques but now include the computer as
another tool to create their work. The paintings range from representational
(figurative, landscape or collage) to the abstract and use various materials
including paper, canvas, boards or fabric as the substrates.
The exhibit is sponsored by the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs Division, established in 2001 to oversee development of the performing and visual arts for the Broomfield community. Event information can also be found on the “Events Calendar” link of the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs website at: www.ci.broomfield.co.us/cultural
