Repetition & Ritual (April 2026) is a group exhibition featuring 30 artworks by 24 artists. The exhibition explores how repeated gestures, patterns, and processes create meaning in art. Across media, artists use pattern, iteration, and rhythmic structures to build visual language and presence.
The works in the exhibition reflect repetition in many ways: through cosmic cycles and planetary movement, through patterns found in nature and growth, and through recurring motifs and structured forms. Together, the works highlight how repetition functions both as a visual strategy and as a disciplined creative process, transforming simple gestures into complex and resonant compositions.

The Colorado South Asian Artists Group and The Curtis Center forthe Arts are proud to present Cultural Continuum, a showcase of nine artists during Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, recognized in the month of May. Centering Asian artists in the American story, AANHPI Heritage Month celebrates the culture and contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islander Americans.
The works on view represent an array of styles, media, and themes by artists living in Colorado from the South Asian diaspora. In this exhibit you will find images closely intertwined with religious traditions, cultural motifs, and personal histories mixed with the diasporic experience.
