Each year the Atlas Theater church puts on two art
show auctions geared toward helping local and international charities. These
Mosaic Art Shows are all designed around a theme.
Artists and musicians are expected to create a piece around the theme. The artists submit their pieces to a silent auction. The proceeds raised during the evening will go toward the specific charity.
During the bidding, the musicians perform their pieces for the attendees. Local musicians like Tim Coons, Renee Swick, Nathaniel Valdez and Joe Lee Parker have performed at past events. However, any local musician or artist is welcome and encouraged to perform and/or submit a piece.
For this art show, the theme is Walk. Megan Martinez, who is in charge of the Mosaic Art Shows, said the proceeds will go to Children of Peace International to help build an orphanage in Vietnam. The proceeds will also go to help COPI care for children, especially young girls who have been rescued or escaped from sex trafficking.
These events always have a good turn out and provide a great opportunity for the community to come together.
Sarah Redman, a senior art and philosophy major at the University of Northern Colorado, said she really looks forward to Mosaic Art Shows.
“The art and music are spectacular enough to make the evening worth it, but the charities Atlas picks are fantastic organizations," she said. "COPI is our cause this year and they do amazing work."
The next Mosaic Art Show will be at 6 p.m. Friday, April 28 at the Atlas Theater on 16th Street and 7th Avenue.
