PixPal to display art at Broomfield Auditorium

The Pixelated Palette & Paintbrush Invitational Exhibit opens in the lobby of the Broomfield Auditorium, Tuesday, April 8 and will continue through May 18. This is the first exhibit of visual art in Broomfield’s newest cultural facility.

Hours for viewing the exhibit coincide with scheduled public events in the Broomfield Auditorium. Event information can be found on the “Events Calendar” link of the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs website, or by calling the Cultural Affairs office at 303.464.5835.

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 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.

This fully accessible cultural facility can be reached via the West 120th Avenue exit from I-25 or the 287/121 exit from US Highway 36. Free parking is available in the facility parking lot. Directions to the facility are available on the City and County of Broomfield Cultural Affairs website at: http://www.ci.broomfield.co.us/cultural.
