+ GALLERY WINS TOP OF THE ROCKY FOR BEST NEW ART GALLERY!!

We were thrilled to learn that + gallery has received it's second Top of the Rocky in four years for "Best New Art Gallery." Though we've been around longer than an upstart, the award comes with a caveat: we are new in name only. The award recognizes our efforts and acknowledges the transformation we undertook from "Cordell Taylor Gallery" to "+ Zeile Judish" and finally to our stable (yes, we shall never change the name again, we swear) + gallery!

We are also proud to announce that + gallery artist Lauri Lynnxe Murphy (who will make her + gallery debut in a matter of weeks, yes you heard it hear first) was awarded a Top of the Rocky for Arts Advocate, quite deservingly so. In addition, + gallery artist Susan Meyer was awarded for Best Installation Artist, and you can bet we stand behind that, as Susan is untouchable in the category.

Other deserving artists were acknowledged as well by the awards, and we applaud them all, including David Sharpe, Jeff Starr, Steven Batura and Jeffrey Keith. A big Cheers to the Rocky Mountain News for making the effort to acknowledge the creative talents and venues in Denver.
