And there's much more to see around town. Get it while you can.

Ongoing online exhibition
Denvertography is an online project mounted by photographer Geoff Decker of Hidden Vision Photography, who noted that many of his Colorado colleagues might have missed deadlines to qualify for Month of Photography shows. He invited photographers within the state to submit work to the page, which serves loosely as a virtual directory where camera artists can introduce themselves to viewers with a sample of their best work and explanatory notes. An idea whose time has come?

Into the Rearview Mirror: A Look Back at 2020
Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree
Through May 23
Into the Rearview Mirror: A Look Back at 2020 is self-explanatory, in that it casts the critical eyes of 29 artists on the slow, hermetic lifestyle we’ve all lived over the past year, as well as the immediacy of events happening beyond our living rooms and iPad screens. It appropriately includes a selection of Pandemic Self-Portraits collected from around the world by Denver artist Adrienne DeLoe, who is now working to finish a book of 175 of the works, but that’s just one cross-section of the 52 pieces in the show. There’s a large showing of photography in a nod to MOP 2021, as well as paintings, drawings, mixed-media works, collage, sculpture and prints to round things out. Visit the gallery from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, or view the show online at the website.
