Who was Clyfford Still and why is his work getting the royal treatment in Denver? Born in 1904, Still was a leading figure in the development of Abstract Expressionism, a post-World War II artistic movement that many consider to be the United States' greatest contribution to world art. 

 

A bold and iconoclastic building located in the area adjacent to the Denver Art Museum, The Clyfford Still Museum's collection includes almost 2,400 of Still's paintings, drawings and prints - roughly 94 percent of this influential artist's total output. The museum will also contain the artist's archives, including personal letters, photographs, journals and sketchbooks. Virtually all of this material has been sealed off from public and scholarly view since 1980. The design of the building is bold and iconoclastic - a perfect fit for an artist like Still. 

 

The docent will talk about Still's  interesting and progressive artwork and the amazing architecture.

 

The EPRD, Center for the Arts Evergreen and Art for the Mountain Community have teamed up to bring you this exciting event. 

 

An Opportunity for all Sculptors and Artists !!! 

Please take a look at the following Website. This should be a wonderful event and we are all hopeful the start of a new Evergreen tradition. The Center for the Arts Evergreen is very pleased to be joining with EPRD and Art for the Mountain Community in presenting the very first Evergreen Winter Festival and Snow Sculpture competition. Please form a team, sponsor a team and/or come out to this event Saturday, February 4th at the Lake House. We will look forward to seeing you all there.
