Free and open to the public

Tootsies the Nail Shoppe brings to MoP, Snapshot NYC: 1981-1989 by Chuck O’Brien–a rediscovered collection of photos from an iconic time where Chuck and his wife, Eileen, lived and loved in Manhattan while working in the television business for David Letterman and Saturday Night Live, respectively and to name a few. This show features Chuck's documentation of everyday life in NYC in the 80s– everything from his muse, Eileen, to the contents of their refrigerator and shower.

Tootsies–nail salon by day celebrating 13 years in Denver and 11 years on Tennyson Street aims to support arts in culture in Denver in a variety ways–editorial fashion shows and shoots, showing artwork in the Tootsies location in the Tennyson Street Arts & Culture District, sponsorship of creative events such as Paper Fashion Show, Lucha Libre & Laughs, Denver Art Museum’s CultureHaus, donations to arts, culture & education institutions and by employing a team of creatives who are able to work a flexible schedule that allows them to pursue their creative dreams.

About the Artist:

Chuck O’Brien is a photographer by nature and was a image manipulator by trade. As he left New York City in 1989, many of his friends and colleagues in the television business asked for copies of his snapshots of the city. These images started in 1981 when he was given a Canon T-50 by his wife as a birthday gift, the year he arrived to work as an editor of television network programming at 30 Rock. Working as a TV editor, his time off from the moving image business was spent on his passion to capture in still images, the world of NYC in the 80’s...a time and place that was so unique he could sense the need to document it. Little did he realize that his images would become the makings of many iconic moving image stories - Seinfeld, Working Girl, When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail…to name just a few. With this exhibition Chuck hopes to share some of the images he loved capturing then, with a new generation now, who sees the 80’s in New York, as a glamorous, glitzy time when Studio 54 reigned, Andy Warhol had his factory, Keith Haring was drawing in chalk on blacked out subway billboards and Times Square was still filled with the bold and bawdy images that have long vanished from the Great White way.

Visions, Interpretations, and Use of LIGHT
The mission of the Visions of Light Show is to challenge photographers to go beyond producing a technically correct photographic image and demonstrate their use and control of light to help define the subject. The light can be natural or artificial, or a combination that enhances the impact, drama, emotion, and message of the image. The underlying theme is the vision, interpretation, and use of light.

Another Land

Evan has had the great fortune over the last fifteen years or so to travel with his extended family to various countries around the Mediterranean Ocean. Having a camera on these trips challenges Anderman to find the interesting photograph of a place or event. Just as important, it makes him look in a different way to discover something that he might not otherwise see and learn about the people he is visiting. From Tunisia to Turkey, Croatia to Italy, the great part about traveling is seeing the differences, and the similarities, in these various cultures, and in doing so learning about our own culture.

Louviere + Vanessa: RETRO-ACTIVE
March 1 - April 20, 2019
Opening Reception: Friday, March 1, 5-7pm

A retrospective exhibition of photo-based artists Louviere + Vanessa including past and current work.

Louviere + Vanessa’s work effectively combines the mediums and nuances of film, photography, painting and printmaking. They utilize Holgas, scanners, 8mm film, destroyed negatives, wax and blood. Since they began professionally showing in 2004, they have been in over 50 exhibits and film festivals in America and abroad. They are included in the collections of the Museum of Art | Houston, the Photomedia Center, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art as well as the film archive for Globians International Film in Potsdam Germany and Microcinema in San Francisco. Six images from the Creature series were acquired by the George Eastman House for an exhibit that traveled the world through 2010. They experiment in moving pictures and have created the first movie shot with a plastic Holga camera consisting of 1,944 frames. L+V were invited to exhibit for the Ballarat Photography Biennale. They had their first solo museum exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in October 2012, followed by a solo show at the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, Florida.

Jeff Louviere is from New Orleans, Vanessa is from upstate New York and they met each other in Savannah, Georgia. Jeff graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design during which he and 3 other artists created the world’s largest painting, a 76,000 square foot image of Elvis which was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Vanessa began photographing at age 12 and won a Kodak International Award of Excellence in Photography when she was 17. She almost became a pro race car driver but instead, she photographed through Italy and Greece before graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Photography.

NINE Dot ARTS
Art Consultants

“We are a corporate art consulting firm that uses the power of art to transform environments into experiences. Art has that power!”

Founded in December 2009 by Martha Weidmann and Molly Casey, NINE dot ARTS grew out of the premiere regional art consulting firm McGrath & Braun.

With an entire staff formally trained in the arts, NINE dot ARTS’ expertise includes studio practice, art history, arts administration and creative writing.

The NINE dot ARTS name is taken from the classic brain teaser known as the nine dot puzzle. The challenge is to connect all nine dots using only four straight lines without lifting the pen off the paper. Most people think within the perceived grid. The key is to think outside the box.

We love photography and specialize in all photographic equipment, including older film-related equipment or state-of-the-art digital cameras. Let us know what you need to sell or what you are looking for.

Short
Month of Photography Denver was first started in 2004. I was inspired by the Houston FotoFest. home.fotofest.org

The Lead Up
I love salons, I formed the Denver Salon group in the 90s in our living room which went on to shows in museums and NYC.
And a Salon online called FAB the Fine Art Photographers Board,  where we did early shows online and in galleries in the mid-90s we called " Off The Highway ".  I am still very close to many in that early
internet crew that have gone to great fame.

Things happen with power in numbers be it a art gathering / movement
or a group of galleries in association with the same goal. I was
inspired by the Houston FotoFest in the mid 1990s.. Houston goes nuts
for photography every two years..portfolio reviews with curators
coming from all over the world ..lectures and panels and exhibitions
all over the city .. I came very close to the directors Fred Baldwin
and Wendi Watriss. They were inspired in the 1980s by the grand daddy of all photo festivals in Arles France. www.rencontres-arles.com

We also formed another group ..haha another group !!
and I helped them start the Festival of Light  an association of all the
photography festivals around the world www.festivaloflight.net

Around that time I was the director of MCA Denver in the late 1990s I would share our photography exhibitions with Houston and they sent shows to us…

The Start
Around 2000 I started rounding up galleries to show photography together in Denver for a month around SPE (Society of Photographic Education) conferences .. because they had the portfolio reviews and panels and lectures. I rounded up galleries to exhibit photography during the conference. In 2004 I started MoP as its own multi-faceted event and starting coordinating it all myself, all the exhibition events and portfolio reviews and lectures. All the galleries and museums responded very well and its been growing dramatically every two years. Last year we had over 180 venues! We will probably get close to that as we spread further out up and down the front range.

The Today
2017 - 2019 The Colorado Photographic Art Center has taken a lead role with MoP. CPAC has successfully taken over the administration of the portfolio reviews to where it is now a world class event and center piece of the Month of Photography.
