Art Expo Las Vegas

The art consultants at Translations Gallery just returned from Art Expo Las Vegas. The Art Fair was sponsored by Art Business News, and also takes place in New York and Miami every year. Their education series, sponsored by the International Art Business Conference, featured classes in art gallery marketing, art gallery sales, and collector development. Translations Gallery's art consultants received certificates in these programs, and are now better able to work with the contemporary fine art collecting community. In addition, gallery manager Kate Merkel was a participant in the Art Business News Roundtable discussion that took place in the center of the Art Expo floor. She was accompanied by seven other art industry professionals who all discussed the current changing art market in front of a crowd of about fifty people. Translations Gallery's participation in all of these events will certainly push the city of Denver foward in the contemporary fine art market!

What to do with junk mail

One of our newest artists at Translations Gallery is SA Schimmel Gold. Her brilliance comes from her idea to look for art materials in unusual places like her mailbox. All of that annoying junk mail that comes from Verizon and Comcast or even the hundreds of greeting cards that have piled up in your closet that you feel bad about throwing away can be used to create something. Yes, I'm sure Grandma took a long time to pick out that specific greeting card, so why not turn that $2.99 greeting card into a valuable work of art? This is SA Schimmel Gold's idea that led her to create an abundance of amazing pop-like portraits primarily of women.
