SUMMARY:Exhibition: Hunter Hogan\, Sam Harvey\, and Sara Ransford
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, August 28\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, August 28 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: August 28 to September 25\, 2026 \n  \nTogether\, Sam\, Hunter\, and Sara have a more than twenty-five-year connection to the Roaring Fork Valley and Western Colorado. Being connected to the land has been paramount to our development as artists and human beings.

Their different styles of work create a natural interchange of mountains\, deserts\, botanics\, and floral patterns that all relate to our western Colorado environment. \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by CCY Architects and Kathy Honea \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: David Clark "Mt Sopris in Black and White"
DESCRIPTION:On view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM \n  \nThis exhibition features a curated selection of 12-14 of the artist’s most compelling black-and-white photographs of Mount Sopris\, captured over the past 15 years. Each image is presented as a metal print ranging from 20×30 to 30×45 inches\, including both horizontal and vertical compositions\, with several works offered as multi-panel installations. The display will also highlight a series of distinctive “Raised Texture Ink” metal prints\, which introduce a subtle three-dimensional quality to otherwise traditional photographic surfaces. The final arrangement will occupy approximately half of the gallery space\, with the number and scale of works tailored to the exhibition layout. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Michael Kinsley "Sensuous Landscapes"
DESCRIPTION:On view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM \n  \nRooted in traditional representational painting\, Kinsley’s style has evolved to amplify Nature’s sensual forms\, some obvious\, others obscure. One curator calls his work “voluptuous.” \nIn oil\, he paints his smaller pieces plein air. Larger pieces begin as field sketches that establish composition\, which he amplifies in the studio as sinuous natural shapes. These two-steps allow him to see on-site the convergence of subtle shapes that photos often miss\, then interpret and refine the shapes more deliberatively in the studio. \nHis primary subjects are Western Colorado and the Utah desert\, mostly from the Roaring Fork Valley. Influences include Canadian modernists Emily Carr and Franklin Carmichael. Also\, Edgar Payne\, Maynard Dixon\, and Cezanne\, plus friends Dan Young (Silt)\, Tania Dibbs (Basalt)\, and the Hermitage Group (St Petersburg\, Russia) \nCurrently\, his paintings are on display at Aspen’s Wind River Gallery. Since the 90s\, they have appeared in 14 galleries and in over 20 local community exhibits\, including juried shows. Institutional collections include Parc Aspen Restaurant\, Colorado River Conservation District\, Valley View Hospital\, and Rocky Mountain Institute. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Chris Hassig
DESCRIPTION:On view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, November 6 at 5:30 PM \n  \nChris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale\, Colorado\, whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape\, abstraction\, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making\, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country\, Saiopor\, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature. His practice merges precision and play\, incorporating printmaking\, cyanotype\, collage\, and sewn elements that highlight both meticulous craftsmanship and improvisation.\ \n\nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Rachel Becker "Net-work: Weaving the World"
DESCRIPTION:On view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, November 6 at 5:30 PM \n  \nRachel Becker brings a series that explores weaving\, webs\, and networks as structures that connect\, hold\, and move vital energy. Constructed from found and foraged materials: branches\, plant fibers\, fishing line\, and produce netting\, the lightweight hanging sculptures reference nets\, tapestries\, and natural systems. Installed as an immersive canopy\, the works invite visitors to step inside the visible and invisible networks that shape our world\, from mycelial pathways to the “World Wide Web.” Drawing inspiration from ancient textile traditions and the mythic weaver goddesses of pre-medieval Europe\, the project reflects on how the threads of fate\, ecology\, and technology intertwine. \n\nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank
