Black Futures in Art Exhibition Opening Reception
2026-02-20 17:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Dairy Arts Center, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
On View Feb 19 – March 29 | Opening Reception: Feb 20, 5 – 8 PMFourth Annual Exhibition at the Dairy Arts Center | Curated by Adderly Grant-Lord
Now in its fourth year at the Dairy Arts Center, Black Futures in Art is a sweeping, annual exhibition presented in celebration of Black History Month and in ongoing recognition of Black artistry and excellence year-round. Curated by Adderly Grant-Lord, the exhibition brings together Black artists from Colorado and across the United States, highlighting a broad range of practices, voices, and visions shaping contemporary art today.
This year’s exhibition is grounded in the theme “The excellence beneath our feet lives in our bones,” a poetic meditation on legacy, inheritance, and resilience. The exhibition looks to what has been buried, erased, or overlooked in both past and present, while honoring the enduring knowledge, creativity, and excellence that persist across generations. Through visual art, the exhibition considers how memory, land, body, and ancestry carry stories forward, and how art becomes a conduit for community, reflection, and dialogue around the past, present, and future.
Black Futures in Art creates space for both celebration and critical engagement, inviting audiences to witness how artists navigate history, imagine possibility, and cultivate collective understanding. The exhibition is accompanied by a robust slate of public programming, including film screenings, artist talks, a lecture series, hands-on workshops — and a special live musical performance at the Opening Reception.

Opening Reception Musicians
The evening will feature a dynamic ensemble of Colorado-based musicians whose practices bridge classical training, jazz lineage, and contemporary experimentation:
Joe Tabano (Trumpet) – A Denver-born and raised trumpet player, Joe’s roots in jazz are shaped by mentorship connected to the lineage of Ron Miles. Having toured throughout the United States and Europe, his sound blends traditional jazz sensibility with expansive improvisation and expressive depth.
Liv Stephfano (Cello) – A Horizon High School student and accomplished young cellist, Liv was selected for the district-wide Honors Concert and earned 2nd Chair among 15 top performers — a testament to her dedication and musical excellence.
Josias Gilmore (Electric Guitar) – An accomplished guitarist with several years of performance experience, Josias has played iconic stages including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Fillmore Auditorium, and Paramount Theatre, bringing versatility and stage presence to every performance.
Phillip Cutler (Violin) – A Fort Collins–based violinist with over 13 years of training, Phillip bridges classical discipline with contemporary exploration. Having participated in Colorado All-State Orchestras and studied under Mark Woods of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, his work blends orchestral precision with modern energy, drawing from classical, fiddle, jazz, and electronic influences.
Together, these musicians create a layered sonic environment that echoes the exhibition’s themes of inheritance, evolution, and living legacy.

Native Niches: Ecological Identity Exhibition Opening
2026-02-20 17:00 - 20:00 | Sacred Space, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
Join us for the opening reception for Native Niches; Ecological Identity.

An exhibition showcasing Traditional Ecological Knowledge that Indigenous people have fostered for millennia. Curated by students, Asia Thunderhawk and Lucero Armendariz. On Display February 9th-April 5th, 2026.

Each of us inhabits a niche in the natural world, each a member of our ecological communities with a responsibility to the landscape around us. This concept is best illustrated by the Traditional Ecological Knowledge that Indigenous people have fostered for millennia. Native Niches invites both the artist and guest to explore their position in ecological past, present and future. It investigates how Indigenous cultures and experiences have been influenced by flora and fauna, and envisions a future where people are no longer discrete from the web of life.

Lucero Armendariz-Klaasmeyer
“Growing up surrounded by art, science, and the natural world, Lucero has cultivated a multidisciplinary artistic identity. Working primarily with digital tools as well as oils to create illustrations and comics, Lucero explores the speculative, mundane, and endearing aspects of our world. She hopes to use her skills for science communication in the future.”

Asia Thunderhawk (Sicangu Lakota) is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Denver, Colorado. Catalyzed by the many Lakota artists in her family, she explores the relationship between North American ecology and indigenous art and culture. Her practice utilizes beadwork, natural materials, and indigenous american plants.

Wake Up! We’ve Been Here Before!
“(un) Forgotten” is a bold evening-length dance production choreographed by Artistic Director Alli Jones that confronts war, division, and loss as urgent reflections of our present world. Through powerful imagery rooted in the history of the Holocaust, the performance invites audiences to feel, connect, and recognize how cycles of hatred and silence repeat as memory fades.
Invoking memory through movement, dancers Cassy Clark, Nicola Elder, Angela Gumieniak, Mira Kaplan, Jethro Paine, Claire Schlutt, and Eva Wilder move through moments where escape and luck were once the only chances for survival. With a set crafted for this work by Justin Kalvin and costumes designed by former Naropa Arts Professor Joan Anderson and local artist, acupuncturist Laurel Miller, the work is brought to life with striking visual elements. “(un) Forgotten” invites a conversation about the consequences of forgetting, the patterns we repeat, and the histories we carry; it is a recollection of what our world was, is, and may be becoming.

Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore, and Luka Sabbat. Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin, and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.

In pre-internet 1987, Conor and his dog Sandy live a life of seclusion, lost in the slow-rendering graphics of early Macs and televisions aglow with late night horror movie marathons. But when he begins playing OBEX, a new and mysterious, state-of-the-art computer game, he finds himself trapped in a low-tech, but high-stakes analog hellscape as the line between reality and game blurs. Audacious and uncanny, writer-director Albert Birney’s OBEX is a delightfully skewed lo-fi fantasy. Shot in striking black and white, this surreally nostalgic nightmare revisits the dawn of personal computing to reflect on the loneliness of our always-online present day.
