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! We Are the Sky will be on-view from July 11 – October 5, 2024, at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery at the Ent Center for the Arts. The opening reception is on Thursday, July 11th from 4-7pm, with a collection of site-specific activations and performances that can only be experienced during the opening!
Featuring more than 40 artists from throughout the Pikes Peak region, We Are the Sky is inspired by the work of late Colorado Springs artist Starr Kempf, whose monumental kinetic sculptures punctuate our local landscape. More than 80 artists responded to a call for entries, challenging them to respond not to Kempf’s forms or subjects, but instead to powerful themes present in the artist’s life and oeuvre. Mental health and wellness, community identity and interpersonal connection, and a spirit of innovation are central to each offering, inclusive of 2D and 3D gallery works to performances and ephemeral experiences.
