 (from the press release) Boom: A Nomadic Gallery makes it’s second outing! Denver’s only itinerant co-op gallery is ready for it’s sophomore voyage. Featuring some of Denver’s best contemporary artists, Boom is a gallery built in the back of a 26’ truck that takes the art to the people, making contemporary art accessible for all, right on the street. The Boom truck will be roving throughout the city during the Democratic National Convention, stopping in front of select events. For the most current schedule of appearances, please check www.boomdenver.com, as our schedule is constantly changing. We will list our anticipated appearances on the website each day. The current members of Boom are: Nathan Abels, Kym Bloom, Amy Findeiss, Steve Gordon, Joroko, Emily Kaelin, Lauri Lynnxe Murphy, Brian Robertson, Melody Sealman, Dave Seiler, Kay Tuttle, & Rodney Wallace. Boom’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention is a local compliment to the international artists visiting through the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs Dialog City event, and is intended to showcase some of the talent from Denver’s vibrant art scene and act as cultural ambassadors. We will be making appearances night and day at the Dialog City events and outside many public and private gatherings. Boom’s first outing was for the Grand Opening of the Denver Art Museum in the fall of 2006, where visitors were greeted by a beautiful, well-lit gallery parked curbside to browse while they waited to enter the new Hamilton Wing. Our first scheduled stop for the 2008 DNC will be at the opening of Dialog: Denver at Robischon Gallery at 1741 Wazee on Thursday, Aug. 21, at 6:00 p.m.
