“Keep it Glassy” Art Show at Meadowlark & MegaFauna

They say that the purpose of art is to invoke an emotional response. If this is the case, it takes a special type of art to invoke a melee. This past July Mike McGinley approached me about hanging an impromptu show featuring his latest and greatest pop and flash art etched on glass. No promotion, no advanced notice. Within two days every piece was purchased. The mob reached such a frenzy at one point, I was up a ladder trying to hang a piece and customers were bidding and buying before the piece could get properly leveled. Such has been my experience with Mike McGinley and his art etched on window and glass panes.

December 7 at Meadowlark & MegaFauna, Mike McGinley aims to add to a new and fun-filled show presenting one-of-a-kind pop-art etched on glass with, “Keep it Glassy”.

Mike will be presenting all original interpretations of pop influenced imagery and his own creations of flash and street culture, just above the curb. Each piece will be displayed on resourced and upcycled window pane and modified doors with glass installations. Each sized properly to fit a large wall as a series OR individually for the downtown or loft crowd. There are some surprises in play for the show, including LED retro-fitted and back-lit pieces.

Boulder-based Evo Hemp of Hemp Health, Inc., will be in attendance passing health-filled hemp bar samples and cool schwag. DJ Viking Sound Machine will be in the house pushing beats and other audible treats. J Audrey Hair Studio will be offering discount cards for their in-house hair studio. As always the MF Cafe will be selling locally roasted Novo Coffee, Rocky Mountain Sodas, sandwiches by local deli’s and Mom’s famous baked treats.

Keep it Glassy 6 PM-10PM at MegaFauna and continue Keeping it Glassy until midnight in Meadowlark at 2701 Larimer in the North Larimer neighborhood of Greater Five Points.

VIDEO RELEASE: MegaFauna – Day in the Life

Support Local. Always Buy Local. Support Local Creativity. All the buzz words are all the buzz as of late, but what does it all mean? Who is doing what to bring “Local” to the scene? What does it take to push loosely recognized local brands to the public and in turn create revenue. How are independents supposed to fight past the mega branding, the national brands, the corporate idolatry, government red tape …OH and build a recognized brand, that makes sales, which pays bills, powered by local talent and local resources. Enter MegaFauna.

Last Fall, MegaFauna teamed up with Focus 4 Design to make a video that shows what steps we take to answer the questions above. We hope this video provides a sneak peek at a Day in the Life of the local art scene in Denver, and all the coordinated steps to providing artists a platform for developing his/her art as business. If you are looking to develop or manage your art as a business, whether it be visual, verbal, musical, performance or independently branded business; call us.

It has been revealed, for those who have eyes let them see (Revelation 13:11)

….. These are the words which opened my eyes to the mission behind MegaFauna. A local goods shopping experience that would reveal art, apparel, jewelry and other products and services; localized. A conscious consumer collective that redirects the creative, capitalist and conscious behavior of a target demographic away from MEGA media/marketing, and toward local and sustainable economies of old.

MegaFauna is to serve as a reminder that, if we don’t change the consumptive patterns toward local/sustainable and more conscientious buying/selling/trading, we will become like those who came before us, Extinct. Every purchase toward local is one less dollar going to Mega corporate, Mega government, Mega fossil fueled society.

BimmerT’s “Revelation 13:11 mural” captures, exactly, the mission behind this local movement. Concept to Consignment, we are providing a template of quality over quantity and rebuilding the fabric of care in the relationships that we develop. We are doing so with style and substance that can only be imitated and never duplicated. We may be idealistic, but this is where we draw our value and carry it back to you.

Thank you for supporting local creativity
