Art Department At Showcase

Information may not be reliable

Welcome to my website.
I am a painter, sculptor and advocate of the arts. I own the Showcase Art Center at 1335 Eighth Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631 (970)356-8593 which was started 17 years ago as a space to show art, encourage others and provide for the needs of a creative community.

Buy art. There is gallery space throughout the building and it is the exclusive representation of Colette Pitcher, author of Watercolor and Acrylic Painting for Dummies, Wiley Publishing. Colette also makes bronze sculpture and displays pieces at the gallery with her paintings. Commissions are welcomed.

Make art - we offer classes and art supplies at discount prices. We also have a custom frame shop to present your art in it's best light with conservation materials. Products have improved in recent years with acid-free offerings and glass that prohibits ultra-violet light from fading your art. It may be time to upgrade if you want your art to last another generation. There is also a bargain basement of frame deals if you are on a budget. There are artist studios and you may see an artist at work when you visit. There are piano lessons with Lesli Anderson(834-1635), kids' art classes with May Yipp(405-6900), and the Greeley Art Association meets here monthly.

Become a work of art through "Accessories with a Flair. . .and Hair!" (351-6448) . Owner Linda Winter offers dazzeling clothing, jewelry, a hair salon, skin care and wellness products will put you at your best. Robin Sweeton from "Robin's Nest" (576-6359) alterations will tailor your outfit or fix an existing one.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so the saying goes, but art is really much more. The world of visual arts is one of those aspects of culture you must immerse yourself in to truly appreciate. Exploring art is like seeing a whole new world for the first time, perhaps because you begin to look at the world from a different perspective.

As you spend more time looking at art, talking with artists, adding pieces to your collection, traveling to art exhibits, and studying art history and art collection, you learn that so many facets of art put you in touch with the timeless elements of beauty in any culture.

If you live in or near Greeley, Colorado, one of the best places to soak up the art scene is this local gallery. The Showcase Art Center is owned and operated by artist Collette Pitcher. Her Greeley Colorado Art Gallery serves as a center of art in the local community. Through its variety of activities and services, the Showcase Art Center helps to foster community awareness of the arts.

As an artist and art gallery owner, Pitcher has diversified the organization to satisfy a variety of needs. The Center’s services include displaying art, framing art, and art classes for local students of any skill level. In addition to these services, her gallery is a place where people can come to view art, buy art, commission independent works of art, and learn about works of art.

Look around these colorful web pages for loads of helpful information, including how to visit her Fine Art Greeley Colorado. In the display areas of the gallery, you can see the owner’s own collection of Watercolor Paintings Colorado, Acrylic Paintings Colorado, and Oil Paintings Colorado.

You can also find information about taking art classes, visiting the Showcase Art Center’s exhibits at community-based art shows, and getting your pictures framed in the custom framing shop (located on-site).

All in all, working with this community art gallery run by a talented artist and dedicated patron of the arts will enrich your appreciation of the arts. The more you live and breathe the arts in Greeley, or anywhere, for that matter, the more you learn. You might even be inspired after seeing her representations in watercolor, acrylic, oils, and bronze, to try art yourself.
