“We Are the Sky”
July 11 – October 5, 2024
Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery at the Ent Center for the Arts
1420 Austin Bluffs Parkway, Colorado Springs, Colorado
“The Galleries of Contemporary Art are pleased to present We Are the Sky, a group exhibition featuring artworks created by 40+ Pikes Peak region artists. Over the course of three months, We Are the Sky will create space for poignant narratives around our unique and shared human experiences, a testament to the power of art in fostering dialogue, understanding, and healing. Within the gallery exhibition and related events, artists illuminate the interconnectedness of individual struggles and collective resilience, inviting viewers to engage in discourse and introspection. These 19 artworks address complexities of mental health, inclusion, and invention with empathy and solidarity, and all are new creations, born out of creative experimentation and collaboration.
We Are the Sky is a transformative embrace of Pikes Peak region creatives at the intersection of artistry and advocacy, a celebration of unconventional convergence, and an illumination of interdisciplinary pathways toward healing and growth, greater sense of belonging, community empowerment, and a more compassionate and resilient future.”
