Denver Arts & Venues Has Announced Next Buell Art + Music Series: STILL. HERE.

Denver Arts & Venues has announced the opening reception for Sharon Feder and Dallas Parkins' Buell Theatre exhibition, "Still. Here." The opening reception will feature a performance by Solis on the Buell Theatre balcony as part of the Buell Art + Music series on Monday, February 17, 5-7 p.m.

"Still. Here." features the works of married artists Sharon Feder and Dallas Parkins. Hailing from Montana homesteaders, Dallas Parkins has spent his life observing and respecting the relationship between nature and the human-made world through his photography. Sharon Feder's paintings share this same focus, expressing the duality and interplay between realism and abstraction. Both artists create works inspired by the still life of structures in the built environment. Much like a theatrical stage set, the compositions in "Still. Here." offer observers a quiet stillness in which to have their own experiences and responses.

Showcasing two original works by Denver composer Nathan Hall, Solis presents a program of bookends, featuring works from the Renaissance back to back with new compositions and arrangements from Colorado composers. There will be a little something for everyone, no matter your musical taste.
