About Spark Gallery
Spark Gallery is the original self-supporting co-operative art gallery in Denver, started in March 1979. It is currently in its fourth location. Spark’s founding members included key Denver artists: Charlie DiJulio, Marilyn Duke, Jane Fudge, John Fudge, Paul Gillis, Jerry Johnson, Richard Kallweit, Andy Libertone, Marcia Marfia, Marilyn Nelson, Margaret Neumann, Clark Richert, Suzy Roesler and George Woodman.
For 45 years, Spark has provided a venue for local arts, exhibitions and events. Spark obtained nonprofit 501 (c) 3 status in 1990, and and currently works with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to fill the walls with art at their Stout St. Clinic, West Side Health Clinic, and Recuperative Care Center.
As an artist-run gallery, members of Spark have the freedom to experiment with new ideas, sometimes collaboratively, to determine and control the environment where their work is viewed. Exhibitions have included film and video showings, installations, and performance pieces in addition to paintings, sculpture, ceramics and works on paper, without limitations placed on size, medium, and content. This freedom allows artists to grow and develop their own unique creative personality, without the constraints for-profit galleries often face.
