Keep Kids Creating Art is a silent auction of local artwork to benefit Lakewood classrooms in need of art  supplies. 40 West Arts along with the Edge and Next galleries in Pasternack’s Art Hub are partnering to  create this multi-space public event from May 28 to June 13, 2021. 40 West Arts and Pasternak’s Art  Hub are located along the historic West Colfax Avenue in Northeast Lakewood, CO.

We recognize that on-line and hybrid learning has created even more barriers for young artists to be  able to create artwork in schools. Joining local professional artists together, our goal is to help bring  more resources to nearby Jeffco schools who have expressed need for their art programs. All proceeds  generated from the auction go directly to Rose Stein Elementary, Jefferson Junior Senior High School, and Molholm Elementary.

Artwork generously donated by local artists will be displayed in various locations throughout the 40  West Arts District for the duration of the event. 40 West Arts Gallery, Edge Gallery, and the Elevation  Space at the Pasternack’s Art Hub are all participating spaces for public viewing and bidding on the art.  Gallery hours may vary due to Covid constraints so checking gallery websites is recommended before  planning a visit. Face masks and social distancing are required in the gallery spaces.

Liminal Space featuring the work of
Kay Galvan’s Maya and Janine Thornton’s Totems

Kay Galvan  Maya

Maya is the illusion or appearance of a phenomenal world. A world of objects and persons does appear to us not only daily, but in each moment. Even then, it is changing, never the same, never solid. Because the world of appearances is different for me than it is for you, I know I create my world and that it has no bounds. While considering this, the piece Maya flashed into my mental space.

Janine Thornton   Totems

Through my work, I experiment with various ways to express interconnectivity: between each other, between humans and the Earth, and between the physical and spiritual. Boundaries between the different constructs blur as threads of influence cross between the constructs and in turn, cause them to affect each other in many ways. In Totems, I combine fiber and sculptural materials to create forms that examine my spiritual relationships in the world.
