Art In Bloom

As an artist, Eric Matelski is always looking for new ways to promote his work. After attending classes through Denver Urban Gardens, he came up with the idea to merge two of his passions into a series of garden shows called Art Farm. “It’s pretty cool, because it’s just a one-day-only show,” Matelski says of each presentation. “The best part is the relaxation element. Everybody seems to chill out, relax and enjoy the artwork a little bit more. What we do is try to make sure it’s not garden art. We’re trying to take a non-typical gallery space and create a gallery for a day.”
