Beaver Run Resort is
one of the most popular ski resorts in Colorado. In addition to
first-class skiing and accommodations, the resort is home to an
award winning Conference Center.
A nature inspired theme informs all of the
artwork. To the left is a commissioned work by Denver artist,
Carol Redmond. Her work combines shapes and forms from the
natural world, such as pods, spirals, and eggs, with those from
our artificial world, such as text and grids. The work is
sensitive and quiet within the space. But it is the
juxtaposition of nature and artifice, confidently arranged in a
grid, that demands our attention. |

The main lobby of the resort is impressive, with
a stone fireplace and exposed wood beams capturing the romance
of winter in Colorado. For the seating area, we commissioned a
painting by Tim Deibler, a Walsenburg, CO artist.
Tim created a classic Colorado scene – a
mountain creek running through a snow-laden clearing in the
mountains. His painting helps us to recall the beauty of our
state and to appreciate nature’s reflective and healing
properties.
The painting is lit from above and secured to
the stone, insuring that generations of skiers will be able to
appreciate this relaxing setting.

Spencer’s Restaurant seating featuring:
Spring

28” x 28”
by Stephen McSpadden
|

Spencer’s Restaurant, at the
base of Beaver Run’s Peak 9, is a favorite dining destination
for skiers and non-skiers alike. The food is contemporary and
artfully made…and the artwork follows suit.
A series of colorful photographs by Buena
Vista, CO artist, Sandy Horrocks– details of flowers, needles,
water – are paired with monochrome steel sculptures by Denver
artist, Stephen McSpadden, throughout the restaurant. The
intimacy of the artwork helps to create the low-lit, unassuming
environment that skiers, after a long day on the slopes, have
come to enjoy.
In addition, we have also supplied artwork for
the hallways of both of the resort’s 7 floor condominium and
hotel room accommodations. |

LoDo’s Bar & Grill is a notable
sports bar in Denver’s popular Lower Downtown Historical
District. The area has a rich history with savory
characters haunting its Western past.
Next door to present-day LoDo’s is
Mattie’s House of Mirrors. In its hey-day, Mattie’s was
the most popular and elegant brothel between Kansas City
and San Francisco.
These days, fans of the Colorado
Rockies are the most likely characters to haunt LoDo’s
with Coors Field just a block away. Mattie’s has been
retrofitted as an extension of LoDo’s, serving both as
overflow for its large weekend crowds and as a special
event rental, complete with private bar.
|
|
| |
The operators of LoDo’s wanted to carry a sense
of history through the spaces with interesting photos of sports
and life in early 1900’s Colorado.
Each photo is tinted to highlight a focal
point. In the image to the right, the wooden crates of beer,
broken and dumped into a ditch, are tinted pine yellow. Other
photos include the 1910 Manual High Women’s Volleyball team,
Mattie’s House of Mirrors in the 1930’s (when it was used as a
Buddhist temple), and three football players posing outside the
Denver Athletic Club in 1901.
The photos are framed simply with a durable
black moulding and glazed with plexi-glass. Attached to each is
a plaque describing the what, when, and where and all the photos
are installed securely to the brick walls. |

The
Bailey Company - Arby’s Restaurants |

|
|
|
|
| |
Patron seating featuring:
open-edition poster |
|
We have been working
with The Bailey Company for over 10 years, supplying
artwork to their restaurants in Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming
and Florida.
Working from floorplans that vary from
location to location has kept it challenging. For the
majority of the restaurant, open-edition posters are
used to add color and interest.
All framed artwork, regardless of
location, is framed with the same style of moulding and
matboard in order to fall in line with their branded
image and interior elements. This framing program also
allows for artwork from one store to be easily relocated
to another.
As with all artwork in public spaces,
each piece is securely installed to reduce the chance of
theft. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
In each restaurant, there is at least one
wall that demands something more than a poster. For
this, we have consistently contracted Denver artist
Stephen McSpadden to create nature-inspired, cut-metal
wall sculptures. His work helps to make each restaurant
visually unique, a rare thing in a one-size-fits-all
world.
