Join us for the opening reception of Rough Gems second pop-up exhibition- NEUwave. NEUwave is a dissertation on motion and emotion, intimacy and peace, connectivity and duality, nurturing and nourishment, self love and self healing. A translation through the lens of poetry, paintings, photography and sound. An introduction to the evolution of the progressive being. Curated by KYLE of ONEWEARE, a holistic design and creation community, NEUwave includes work by a multi-faceted cast of Denver-based creatives, including poet Anisah Amat, photographer Brien Hollowell, painter Destiny Acuna, and sound and video by DR3AMCA$T (Chree Bagheera and Eric Estrada). In addition to the visual art exhibition installed in the gallery, Dreamcast will perform a live set during the opening reception.

Rough Gems is an annual open call and collaborative curatorial project. Taking place from January 15 - March 12, 2020, Rough Gems will showcase the work of three Denver-based curators in a rotating pop-up exhibition format. Selected through an open call for proposals, each of the three curators is granted access to Union Hall’s space, budget, and additional resources in order to create a two-week pop-up exhibition, as well as support in creating supplementary events and programming throughout their two-week run of show. The goal of this ambitious rotating exhibition series is to showcase local curatorial and artistic talent by turning over Union Hall’s gallery space to emerging curators, inviting them to share an exhibition in an active and experimental environment.
