An authentic co-operative gallery that prides itself on housing undiscovered gems.

The Scene
Owners Terry Beck, Dave Hails, Jeremy Marquez and Seema Padya opened Revoluciones in 1999 to create a venue to display their work and that of other local artists. Openings have since become anticipated, exciting monthly social events. You'll find an eclectic mix of art here--photography, oil, acrylic, sculpture, light, sound and mixed media pieces are all smartly displayed throughout the 5,000-square-foot space.

The Collection
The owners realize their opinions are just that and, as such, turn no one away who wishes to show (unless, of course, a show is full). They charge the artist a nominal fee ($15 per piece)--more than fair considering the costs associated with running a gallery. It operates with no grants and no bottomless wallets calling the shots; Beck et al. often work more than one job to keep the doors open.

Insider Tips

Scene and Be Scene
Revoluciones' openings are great meet-and-greet parties, where young and hungry artists cross paths with high-rolling financiers and their ilk. It's an even playing field--everyone just has a great time.

All This--and Dancing, Too?
Every opening, you'll see club kids and some of Denver's finest spinners popping up.
