Arvada Center turns art inside out

The Arvada Center’s summer exhibition, Unbound: Sculpture in the Field creates a new outdoor visual arts area on the south grounds of the Center.

Unbound: Sculpture in the Field, began by re-imagining the existing open space with the intent to create a compelling and engaging outdoor sculpture exhibition. In partnership with Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts, which specializes in the placement of site-specific sculpture in Colorado, 27 sculptures were chosen of various sizes and media by 15 Colorado artists.

This creative endeavor evolved into a visually dramatic exhibition spread over a quarter mile that creates a dedicated area to showcase modern and contemporary sculptures. The newly created sculpture field changes the landscape of Arvada Center and brings the programming of the Center galleries inside, out.

Participating artists include: Vanessa Clarke, Emmett Culligan, John Ferguson, Erick C. Johnson, Andy Libertone, Nancy Lovendahl, Robert Mangold, Patrick Marold, Dave Mazza, Andy Miller, Charles Parson, Carl Reed, Joe Riches, Kevin Robb and Bill Vielehr.

Unbound: Sculpture in the Field will open with a free public reception from 6 to 9 p.m. June 26 and runs through September 2015. The sculpture area is free and open to the public during daylight hours. The Arvada Center is located at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. For additional information, go to https://arvadacenter.org/galleries or call 720-898-7200.
