The massive event that is the Democratic National Convention is coming to our home in the next week, and we’re trying to get prepared. While we’re all hoping that some of the gossip we’ve heard about the events that may transpire is false, we all know this will be a landmark occasion.

The art community is also getting involved in the upcoming convention. Handfuls of local artists have been prepping for the Manifest Hope show at Andenken Gallery (2990 Larimer Street) that will run Monday, August 25 though Thursday, August 28th.

“Manifest hope will showcase some of the finest modern contemporary artists, acclaimed NY painters and sculptors, activated grass roots and street artists, and present the most widely recognized pieces seen throughout the 2008 presidential primary campaign, as well as newly commissioned works and previous works on loan from some of the United States top artists.”

Whether it’s goign to be the entire spectacle that will be the DNC, or just the Manifest Hope show, we hope that if you are in Denver next week - make a point to show support in some way. Stay safe Denver, and let’s work to gether to make a change.
