Join us every First Friday for a night of local art! This month, we welcome Sam Wagner to the Ironton Gallery.

Celebrate First Friday with a specialty cocktail served in a limited edition artist-designed glass that's yours to keep. Cocktail is available all month long; artist-designed glass is while supplies last!

The gallery can be seen in our free gallery for the month of June during our normal operating hours. Be sure to check out all the great art happenings throughout the RiNo, River North Art District on First Friday's.

A note from Sam:

This series of works, titled Liminal Blue, is focused on the concept of liminality, or the transition from one state of being to another. It is an attempt to capture the complicated feelings one feels at the cusp of something new; excited yet unsure, eager but reticent, confident yet uncertain. The process of finding one's way in a new unfamiliar place, mentally, emotionally, or physically, can be daunting, yet exhilarating. This feeling of being in a liminal space is often incredibly uncomfortable for most people, myself included. After moving from New York, to Connecticut, then London, and now Denver, the lack of stability and order has left me off balance and searching for a center of gravity by which to orient myself in this new reality. This series is for me, the artist, a tool of finding my footing, and for the viewer, a contemplative commentary on life's transitory spaces and our place within them.
