Four Seasons Hotel Denver and EDGE Restaurant welcome contemporary Western artist Duke Beardsley as its first “artist in residence” from Jan. 9 to 31. Beardsley will paint from his pop-up studio in the hotel’s lobby.
“Duke Beardsley’s name is synonymous with Western art,” said the hotel’s General Manager and Regional Vice President Thierry Kennel. “In addition to Duke painting in our lobby daily, he will display his works throughout EDGE Restaurant for guests to enjoy throughout January.”
In conjunction with the studio, the hotel and EDGE will host a variety of events, including:
- Noon to 2 p.m. Jan. 23 – Western Fashion Luncheon featuring Rockmount Ranchwear and the art of Beardsley; $22 for an EDGE quartet lunch.
- 6 p.m. Jan. 28 – Dinner with Duke featuring a Colorado-ranch focused five-course dinner; $100 per person.
Rodeo Rampage, a hotel stay package for the month of January during Beardsley’s residency, includes:
- Daily American breakfast for two.
- Signed, limited edition Beardsley print.
- Luxurious accommodations.
Beardsley is a sixth generation Coloradan whose Western roots run deep and are integral to the subjects he paints. Raised in Denver and on a family cattle ranch in eastern Colorado, Duke has been drawing and painting images of the American West as long as he can remember. His blend of modern art styling and traditional Western iconography reflects his upbringing and has made him a popular favorite among fans of contemporary American Western art.
His work has been featured in exhibitions across the United States including the Coors Western Art Show and the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale. In 2007, Duke’s work was included in Out West: The Great American Landscape, an exhibition of contemporary American Western art that toured China.
