FANTASTIC FEBRUARY EVENTS at CAE!

EVENTS
Fashioning the Myth of La Serenissima with Giulia Bernardini

For centuries, Venice was the bazaar of Europe: a city of immense wealth where goods were imported from all around the Mediterranean and beyond and then distributed throughout the continent. Its heterogeneous population was ruled by a shrewd and insular merchant caste whose main ambition was to protect the freedom of the Republic and its economic strength. Join art historian Giulia Bernardini in an exploration of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Venetian works of art and architecture that served to reinforce the civic and social cohesion so vital to maintaining Venice's identity as La Serenissima (The Most Serene Republic).

EXHIBITION

Join us for our best member show ever and see what our local artists have been up to!
The Front Range boasts bountiful talent in all media and styles. Traditional Western art, once dubbed, "Cowboy Art" no longer represents the entirety of the scope of artwork that springs from this mountainous region. While we still lay claim to a significant source of realistic and impressionistic landscapes, scenes of the West, and depictions of animals, there are many other styles and subject matters that have evolved, collided, reemerged, morphed, or that have begun completely anew. The many facets of Front Range art tell a story about what this region means to its various artists and inhabitants.
