This exhibition celebrates the visionary work of artists supported by The Sharon Prize, an annual grant established by Denise Horton and Kathleen Economos in honor of Sharon Riordan McAvoy. A visual artist and elementary school art teacher, Sharon believed deeply in nurturing creativity in others; a legacy that continues through this program's commitment to emerging and mid-career women and non-binary artists living and working in Colorado.
The works gathered here reflect The Sharon Prize's core belief in the power of togetherness to build vibrant, inclusive, and loving communities. Spanning visual arts, music, dance, film, literature, and multidisciplinary practices, these projects engage with some of our time's most pressing concerns: climate change, immigration, human rights, and social justice. Each piece represents not only artistic excellence but also a commitment to strengthening the fabric of Colorado communities.
On view in the gallery through 03/01/26. Gallery hours are M-F, 10AM-4PM (ring the doorbell!), and by appointment with the owner.
Online exclusives:
Vessels of Becoming
Hillit Wahlberg
an online exclusive exhibition viewable on Artsy through 03/01/26
Hillit Wahlberg's ceramic practice emerged from years of emotional labor within toxic corporate structures, where she functioned as an affective receptacle absorbing others' demands until she turned to the pottery wheel as an escape. What began as distraction became a profound transformation: rather than positioning herself as a vessel for others, she began constructing literal vessels, developing a practice of release rather than containment and active formation rather than passive endurance. The work reframes containment as deliberate creation as a means of self-reclamation, inviting viewers to reflect on their own boundaries and the spaces they choose to fill.
