SYNC Gallery exhibits a variety of contemporary abstract and conceptual works by a collective of emerging and established artists. Each month, elect members display exciting work with a wide freedom of expression and invite a forum for discussion. Located in the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver – known for its vibrant arts scene – SYNC Gallery has become a destination for art lovers.
SYNC Gallery is an artist-run cooperative gallery where a juried group of artists have come together to provide a venue to jointly display and sell artwork. It was first formed in 2009 by a group of artists who were interested in having a strong presence in the Santa Fe Art District. It moved to its current location in September 2013.
SYNC Gallery provides a sense of community by creating a network of artists who can share experiences, provide insightful feedback, and pool resources. It allows members the opportunity to work in the gallery, to learn about the art business and to meet other artists, curators and gallery owners.
