Gallery 1261, a contemporary art space located in the heart of the Golden Triangle Arts District, is just a short walk from the Denver Art Museum's new wing designed by renowned architect Daniel Liebeskind. The gallery is dedicated to presenting excellent work that reflects the artists' most creative side, done without the constraints of marketability in mind. The space functions as a gallery while having the flavor of a small museum.
The vision of Gallery 1261 is one of enhanced freedom in the experience of art for both artists and appreciators of art, meaning it is driven not by commercial tastes or market standards, but rather by pure expression and artistic talent.
"This is an art space created for the love of art. These are the works created when no one is looking over the artist's shoulder - perhaps works that artists sometimes are reluctant to tackle, the work that their other galleries might not think fits the mold. The space is by artists and for artists. These are painters' paintings. Their work stands on its own without the crutch of a message or statement, work that is worthy without consideration of subject - without sentimentality... Just good painting and sculpture - whether representational of not. " -Curator, Quang Ho
