LAKEWOOD - Today, Governor Polis visited Next Gallery’s 8th Annual Casa Bonita Art Show, which brought together over 60 artists to imagine and create a piece of what Casa Bonita could look like in 2074 on its 100th birthday.
“I love viewing the work of Colorado's artists and seeing one of our state's landmark attractions reimagined through the creativity of artists. I hope this art show inspires Coloradans and tourists alike to visit Casa Bonita, and explore all that our state has to offer,” said Governor Polis.
Next Gallery is owned and operated by 28 working artists with a mission to support local artists and promote art appreciation and education through community outreach.
The Governor will also visit African Grill and Bar to celebrate Black History Month, and highlight small businesses in Colorado. African Grill and Bar gives back to its community by supporting school cultural programs, charity organizations, and helping feed community members in need.
“Colorado is home to many vibrant cultures, cuisines, and businesses. I am excited to be visiting African Grill and Bar to enjoy authentic African food, celebrate Black History Month, and highlight one of the many black-owned businesses that contribute to our growing economy, and make Colorado the best state to live, work, and start a business,” said Governor Polis.
