“Image and Likeness,” a solo exhibition by Charles Luna July 17 ­– August 30, 2026, at Niza Knoll Gallery

The exhibition brings together two related bodies of work made during different times in the 21st-century, each focusing on the relationships between humanity, technology, and the sacred. The pieces are a compelling array of paintings, digital collage and assemblage works that explore both the connection and visceral tension amongst the subject matter.
Opening Reception: Friday,&nbsp;July 17, 5 – 8 p.m. Artist Reception: Sunday, July 26, 1 – 4 p.m. First Friday Art Walk on August 7, 5 – 9 p.m. Regular business hours, Thursday – Sunday, 1 – 4 p.m.

“All the works are products of reflection on the integrated influence of the sacred and the technological in the human narrative.” Explains Luna, “They offer context for considering how these combined influences weave into the design of the 21st-century social tapestry.”

Denver’s creative leaders featured in “Flipping Scripts 2: An Exhibition of Colorado Curators” July 17–August 15, 2026, at Bitfactory Gallery

Sixteen of them are participating in this group show, representing an impressive selection of creative leaders. This year, participants were asked to interpret the question, "What do we need right now?" As a collective, do we need laughter? A call to revolt? A moment of quiet and reflection? Each artist answers through their unique style and perspective.

Participants include Grant Adams (Nine Dot Arts), Ray Carney (Naked Ray), Michael Dowling, Dan Drossman, Brayden Espinosa (Bitfactory), Toby Fike and Don Fodness (TAD Projects) Anthony Garcia (Birdseed Collective), Esther Hernandez (Union Hall), Todd Edward Herman (East Window Gallery), Cody Kuehl (A.R.

Pulse Visual Art, 3256 Walnut Street, Denver, CO

Falling Away from Prime Solo Exhibition by W. Max Thomason On view Aug 7- Sept 27, 2026 The show invites reflection on how we each understand time, memory, and personal narrative, exploring the spaces between defining moments of our lives, be they triumph, loss, growth, or decline. The public is invited to view and purchase work during regular gallery hours and during the following special events:

Opening Reception: First Friday, August 7, 6 - 9 p.m., artist will be present.

Artist Talk: Saturday, August 29, 11 a.m. - 12 p.m., moderated conversation between Thomason and Pulse Gallery owner Brian Carano.



This is Thomason’s first solo show in two years, and he looks forward to presenting a new body of work representing a theme he has been considering for some time. The works are intentionally evocative, emotionally charged and open-ended, encouraging viewers to create their own stories through the interplay of image and title. Each piece offers a glimpse into a moment that could be interpreted as occurring just before a peak experience, at the height of it, or in its immediate aftermath. Rather than prescribing a narrative, the exhibition asks viewers to consider where they believe each image exists within that arc.


The gallery is open Thursday–Saturday, 3 – 6 p.m. with extended hours on First Fridays. Learn more, explore available artwork, and stay updated on events at Instagram @pulsevisualart. Contact Brian at bc@pulse.art.
