Sarah Roy is the Executive Director of the Red Brick Center for the Arts in Aspen, Colorado. On this episode of The Local's Show, Sarah discuss the current and upcoming arts programming at the Red Brick this summer The intent of the Red Brick Center for the Arts is to be a vibrant community center by offering affordable rent to nonprofits and artists and creating venues and offerings for artistic engagement.
"Colorado Juried,” opens at the Red Brick in June every other year. It features work that experiments with materials, critiques contemporary society and explores diverse themes, such as the perception of light and color.
The show is open to artists from across Colorado, and over 100 artists applied this year. Twenty-eight were selected to participate. Red Brick Executive Director Sarah Roy said there was no criteria for the artists in the show, giving artists freedom to explore.
In the West Gallery, Wendi Schneider’s exhibition, “Reverent Alchemy,” which features nature and wildlife photographs, is also on display.
The photographs are printed on kozo, a type of Japanese paper made from mulberry trees. Schneider also applied layers of gold leaf on the reverse side of the photo.
