Cracking The Mirror
Downtown Aurora Visual Arts presents The Mirror Cracked, an exhibition curated by Paloma Jimenez and Genevieve Waller from DARIA Art Magazine. A concurrent exhibition of handmade prints by DAVA students will also be on display. The Mirror Cracked is a group exhibition in which the artists reconfigure symbols from their environments to construct inventive visual languages. Their processes reflect an experimental approach within the abundant world of printmaking. DAVA is hosting a free opening reception on Friday, March 8 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in conjunction with the Month of Printmaking. DAVA is at 1405 Florence St. The exhibition is free and open to the public Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through April 19.

Are You Ready To March?
Yes, the 4th of July Parade is still a few months away, but in Park Hill it’s never too soon to start planning. Organizers have already secured a marching band for this year — which has in the past been a challenge. The 101st Army Band, a unit of the Colorado Army National Guard, has been in service for more than 80 years. The band is confirmed and will kick off the parade this year with a time-honored tradition of patriotic music. Other plans in progress for this year’s 14th annual Park Hill Parade include a completely redesigned Parade website at parkhillparade.com. Check it out for early registration and sponsorship opportunities.
