“There’s some pretty heavy stuff going on these days,” agrees Cindy Sewell, marketing and PR director for the Art Students League of Denver, “and a show about humor would be a great way to lift some people’s spirits.”
Dr. Sewell’s correct, of course. Her prescription? ASLD’s This Is Hilarious! exhibition, a smattering of humorous, ironic, satiric and silly two- and three-dimensional pieces created by students, members and faculty.
“The goal is that it will be entertaining and funny and witty and get people to laugh,” adds Sewell, who, medical degree or not, has the remedy for what ails me.
