Guitars by Gregory Block
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS You may recognize Gregory Block’s work from the mural that he painted downtown on Eighth Street a few months ago. That project was a collaboration with Steamboat Creates, and his submission, titled “Elevate,” incorporated musical instruments, performance and visual arts into the mural’s design.
Now Gallery 89, which represents Block, will display a solo exhibit called “Music of Color” opening Friday. The paintings feature all different types of musical instruments everything from the classic wooden recorder played by elementary school children to violins, piano keys, flutes and both acoustic and electric guitars with the goal of reimagining the historic relationship between sight and sound.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Murals depicting Routt County’s six commitments to containment of the COIVD-19 pandemic were vandalized with the words “slave” and “mask slavery” spray painted on some of the art panels, while other parts were ripped down.
Kim Keith, executive director of Steamboat Creates, which helped commission local artist Jill Bergman to create the mural posters, said this is the third time they have been vandalized.
