NKollectiv Gallery Moving to Downtown Englewood
Launching EASEL - Englewood Art Studios, Events, and Lessons
(Denver, CO) NKollectiv Gallery is excited to announce a scheduled move from 960 Santa Fe Drive to a new location at 3485 S. Broadway in Downtown Englewood. The lease begins on Nov 1, 2024, so gallery owner and artist Nicole Korbe will activate the space immediately with artist pop-up markets throughout November and December. NKollectiv will finish out the year with planned exhibitions at the Santa Fe Drive Gallery until December 22, before moving and reopening in January 2025 at the new S. Broadway location. This larger, multifunctional space will be branded EASEL- Englewood Art Studios, Events, and Lessons, with the gallery retaining the NKollectiv name and operating within EASEL.
Planned holiday events:
November pop-up art events, Saturdays, Nov 23, Nov 30,
11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
December pop-up art events, Saturdays, Dec 7 and Dec 14,
11 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The January re-opening of NKollectiv will debut with a group show, themed “New Beginnings”.
With her lease on Santa Fe ending and a significant rent increase on the horizon, Korbe felt it was time to reconsider the gallery’s future. "Given the small size of our current location, paying higher rent wouldn’t be sustainable," she explained. "Moving to Downtown Englewood will allow us to expand into a larger space, where we can offer additional services that benefit both the gallery and the local artist community.” In addition to housing the gallery and artist studios, EASEL will offer rental opportunities for art instructors, yoga teachers, and others seeking a venue for events and classes.
“The space is quite unique, having previously served as a residence for an artist who used to own the building. The current building owner, who also owns the Fellow Traveler restaurant downstairs, did a fantastic job of maintaining its historic feel. I was not initially interested in an upstairs location due to the accessibility and visibility challenges, but once inside, I was blown away by its character and the light coming in from skylights and windows. I instantly knew it would be perfect for artists to create and display their work. We fully acknowledge the accessibility issues and will work to overcome them as much as possible.”
A number of small businesses have recently moved to the South Broadway corridor in Englewood, including Mutiny Information Café (Now called Mutiny Comics and Coffee), whose new location is downstairs from EASEL.
Korbe founded NKollectiv (pronounced N collective) in December of 2021. The gallery showcases a diverse range of artwork, including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, woodwork, and jewelry, all created by local Colorado artists. After fulfilling a temporary lease in a South Metro retail area, she moved the business to Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe where she previously had a studio and was already tied to the community.
“The City of Englewood has been so welcoming and helpful in easing the transition.” continues Korbe, “I am sad to leave the Art District on Santa Fe that I have been part of for so many years, but at the same time I am very excited for the opportunities that await us in Englewood and becoming part of the community there.”
The 960 Santa Fe Drive location will remain open during regular gallery hours for the remaining 2024 exhibitions including “Contained”, metalwork by Krista Lavonas followed by the Nkollectiv Annual Holiday Group Show. Hours are Wednesdays and Thursdays, Noon-5 p.m.; Fridays, Noon–8 p.m. (9 p.m. or later on event nights); Saturdays and Sundays 11 a.m–4 p.m. A selected portfolio of works is available for purchase online at nkollectiv.com along with more information about specific artists and events.

The Playground Ensemble explores the human experience through music.
“Body/Mind”, Nov 17, 2024 - 7:30 pm
(Denver, CO) The Playground Ensemble is proud to present “Body/Mind”, a concert exploring the vulnerabilities, limits, and joys of the human experience. The performance takes place at the MSU School of Music, Kalamath Building, 800 Kalamath St. on Nov. 17, 2024, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20, Students $10 on sale now at www.playgroundensemble.org.
For centuries artists have explored, through their own individualized lenses, what it means to be human; through sound, color and texture, they express the intricacies of body and mind, weaving together a personal tapestry of art unique to their own lived experiences and opinions. Through creative expression, both artist and observer can learn more about themselves and each other.
The program includes the following works:
-Crossing the Rubicon (2018) by Leaha Maria Villarreal
Based on the fragments of Heraclitus, this piece details a character who is at a turning point in life.
-“Aphasia” (2009) by Mark Applebaum
An idiosyncratic explosion of warped and mangled sounds on tape made up exclusively of vocal samples; the singer performs an elaborate set of hand gestures against the backdrop of this audio narrative.
-Only The Words Themselves Mean What They Say (2010-11) by Kate Soper
Created out of a determination to test her limits as a vocalist and performer and an itch to make something out of Lydia Davis' fabulously quirky, slyly profound texts.
-I’m waiting for your crip cadence (2024) by MG Bernard and Nathan Hall
With help from a quartet of chamber musicians, the performers create and recreate an auditory and visual experience of what it feels like to exist in a chronically sick body-mind, using medical equipment as part of the ensemble.
-Body Maps (2007) by Paola Prestini
A collaboration with visual artist Erika Harrsch that maps the body by the songs, myths, and traditions that define us.
The Playground Ensemble is group of professional musicians, composers, educators and fans dedicated to presenting chamber music as a living art form. Their goal is to provide stimulating performances, expand common perceptions of both contemporary music and the chamber ensemble, and nurture a community around this music that they love. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit they cultivate a thriving local composition community through a robust commissioning program and extensive education/outreach programs. Collaboration is at the heart of their vision and the ensemble often works with artists of all mediums, finds inspiration across disciplines, and partners with non-musical organizations to amplify their mission.
