Ah, the Golden Triangle! There are a TON of galleries dotted about this zone of art and ambiance, but I was very impressed by the reception and presentation at Walker Fine Art!
If you are a patron of the art scene in Denver, you know that there are a large number of independent galleries that on a regular basis show the creations of local area artists, highlighting the very remarkable talents that our state has to offer. That said, the Denver art scene experience can be varied from 'pinkies out' ("expensive art") to very laid back (basically a garage sale).
Walker Fine Art is in a class of it's own. A private owned gallery who's owner displayed deep insight into the the art and the artists. The owner and curator, Bobbi Walker, is a hands on, affable, and extremely knowledgeable host, and made my visit far deeper than a stroll around the works.
The art I saw ranged from the entry level collectors budget to, 'one of these days I'm going to get something like that', but all of it worth every penny, to be sure. Of course the art is on rotation, so I will be back to see what Denver turns out next!
If you are on a journey through Denver's Art District (the 'Golden Triangle') I would highly recommend swinging by to look at whatever rotation is on display. You are sure to see something that will make it worth the stop!
