Curated spaces...
UCCS Downtown
Art by Zita Quentin

Zita is an incredible photographer. Definitely one of my favorite artists to curate. She specializes in photography of endangered cats. Zita will go around the world camping in caves for weeks at a time, just to get the perfect picture. Zita donates a large portion of her sales to various nonprofits that specialize in awareness of endangered animals.
Zita's work will be hung at UCCS Downtown throughout the month of April. She'll be available on First Friday to talk about her art as well as her journey as a photographer. Please visit Zita!

THIRD SHIFT GRIND
A Creative Co-Working Session
April 14th and 28th at Kangaroo Coffee
Join other local creatives for an evening of communal work on your passion projects! This event will reoccur on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month, and we’ll always have some coffee warmed up for you!

Creativity and craft are important parts of the human experience, and yet there’s so little time and space set aside to practice or revel in these processes! Even when you can grab a moment to work a bit of magic many people find themselves creating in isolation, after hours. Join us at Third Shift Grind with your coffee-shop friendly project of choice for an evening of multimedia connection. Whatever your personal medium is; no matter if you’re a visual artist, writer, game designer, or something else entirely, we’ll join you for a nice cup of brew and some complimentary PPAC snacks! See you there!
