Thanks to everyone who joined us at the first ever Art Lab event. Young and old alike enjoyed the music, art and community.

1st Event: Friday, July 3rd from 6 to 9pm
140 W. Mountain.

The fabulous artists and performers that helped make it happen:

Taylor Gallegos – artist

Stop by to see Taylor in action at the Art Lab as he explores materials, images, composition, line, light, and ultimately content.

To get a glimpse of Taylor’s work – check out his web site.

Taylor’s greatest strengths are his ability to improvise and go with the flow in terms of the creative process. He’ll get to test out his mad improv skills while he paints to the smooth sounds of the Art Lab house band:

The Art Lab Rats

Yes, the Art Lab has it’s very own house band – The Art Lab Rats. This due of Fort Collins musicians, Tom Campbell, Steven Johnson were joined by local music whiz, David Wohl (check out his web site). The trio sat in at the Art Lab and brought beautiful music to the store front. They played some of their favorite jamz to an audience of new and old friends.

Next week we’ll be joined by local Jazz Musicians as Old Town Fort Collins gets ready for the upcoming A Fort Collins Jazz Experience.

The birth of a creative space

It took a lot of hard work and elbow grease to bring the first home of the Art Lab to life. Thanks to all of the volunteers who made it happen:
