Union Hall Denver

L👀ks to inspire you for tomorrow’s clothing swap party inspired by deadstock textiles and materials. There will be something for everyone! Bring a piece of clothing, and leave with something new.

Created with zero-waste pattern drafting that repurposes deadstock, plastic bottles, and hardware, Allegra Giddigs’ bio-fashion garments mimic the aesthetics of chemical spills, murky water, and landfill strata. Many of the fashion designs seen in these images, as well as printed photographs of these looks, are for sale as a part of our current exhibition, “Wearing, Wearing”.

Deadstock – Clothing Swap Party
Saturday, July 11 from 3-6pm
Union Hall Art Space
Free entry - nothing is for sale except the artwork

Last night’s journey through Death Valley was ✨magic✨ thanks to The Library Lineup and Denver Public Library for producing an incredibly fun and engaging program for both readers and art lovers.

Courtney Ozaki-Durgin’s (Japanese Arts Network) installation - inspired by Melissa Broder’s book, Death Valley - will on view this weekend only (6/12 and 6/13) at Union Hall! Check in at the Best Western motel and travel through the magically real memories of Broder’s quirky protagonist as she navigates grief and mortality on an unexpected journey through the Mojave Desert. 🌵

To close out The Wild Bloom, Union Hall’s first performance series, we will hear real, vulnerable, and deeply human tales by acclaimed storytellers PT Smith Jr. and Elliott Higgins, multi-time Moth StorySLAM Champions and guests on the Moth Radio Hour (The Moth). A cast of veteran improvisers will then transform the stories into a completely unscripted performance inspired by what they just heard for the very first time. Expect heartfelt moments, sharp comedy, chaos, and the kind of once-only magic that can never happen the same way twice.

Two unforgettable stories will be interpreted by the improv cast of Tory Spelling for one wildly unpredictable night. The cast of Tory Spelling includes: Joanna Brown, Samantha Mitchell, Nick P. Ross, Jami Baker, Connor Schuck, Max Schwartz, and special guest improvisers.

🎟️ $17.50 tickets includes food, beer, and fun! https://events.humanitix.com/wild-bloom/

Thanks to our sponsors and partners, Meow Wolf Denver, Holland & Hart, Ratio Beerworks, and Whole Foods Market for supporting this series, and to all of YOU, who have showed up for Denver creatives these past few weeks! ✨🌸✨
