It’s official. The building on Fifth Street with the mural — the Three Twenty Gallery — is more than just a pretty picture.
This week, the artist known to most in Las Animas simply as STACE, hosted his first artist in residence at the Three Twenty Gallery: Brother Maars.
“We need something different” explained STACE. That’s what the gallery aims to bring — something different to Las Animas. Brother Maars hopes to be that — a unique artist who brings a different spin to art and to the city.
Brother Maars hails from New York and had always wanted an excuse to come to Colorado. He has done similar work on both coasts, but Colorado called to him as a great place to slow down and experience something new.
