Catch this evening at the PA! 🌟

Check out our very own Jake's awesome lanterns this evening ✨️

Come see the art of Ryan Kopf tonight!

"I’m a tattoo artist and artist primarily working with nature related subject matters. When I’m not creating, I’m in the mountains exploring so I love combining my two passions. The work I’m showing is antler macrame pieces using naturally shed deer and elk antlers, rope, beads, and grouse feathers, antler tip pendants and small plant stands using cedar wood cuts and naturally shed antlers."

Come check these out and more at our Art for Under $100 gathering this evening!

Ouroborealis is primarily wearable leather art. Every piece is sourced, designed, and handcrafted by Ethan Lanpher. His inspiration comes from ancient times when we crafted the things that we needed to be more effective at survival. His works are therefore functional as well as fashionable. Ethan's distinctive designs and adornments are a union of something old and something new.

Now's your chance to join the Phoenix Asylum!

Hey, Friends! The wonderful collaborative space, the Phoenix Asylum, which I belong to, has open space available for artists or makers. If you have visited the Asylum, you know what a funky and fun place it is. For me, it is an inspiration to be among other artists and feed off of the energy. We each have our individual spaces and the use of the communal facilities, which include wood working and welding equipment. If you have been looking to join a creative community, this is an opportunity that you don't want to miss! Please contact me or Madalene Mohawk, for more information. We can set up a visit to the Asylum, if you need one, and get you signed up as an inmate in the best creative community in Boulder!
(If this is not for you, please share with any artists or makers that you know.)
