Stop by our RiNo office for First Friday, featuring amazing art from Hannah Stoll!

Meet Hannah!

“I am an artist based at SAW Studio for Arts and Works in Carbondale, CO. I am predominantly an oil painter, but also delve into block printing and collage. My work is fascinated with the human figure, human spaces, and our complex connection to the natural world.”

Stoll has exhibited work in Colorado at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Snowmass, CO), The Art Base (Basalt, CO), the Arvada Center (Arvada, CO), and at community events and businesses in Aspen and Carbondale. She has become increasingly involved in local art education programming, and is currently working on both independent and commissioned works.

At West + Main Homes

The exhibit includes a group of large, patterned portraits from an ongoing series blending traditional figurative pose with decorative, surreal composition. These five works all depict people in the artist's life, and were painted from photos captured at intimate and candid moments chosen for their ability to form an empathetic connection between the viewer and subject.

Skinny Dip Series

Summer 2021 — Stoll began painting a series derived from photos of her friends in alpine lakes in and around Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley. They celebrate the joy of Colorado's wild places and capture moments of venturing into the relief of high alpine icy water after a long hike.

Painting Highlight: West on Fire I (2020)

This summer we were caught in the crossfire. Just as we can't be near each other, we can't work together like we used to, and neither could the wildland firefighters. The plague of the century is making it exponentially harder to fight the worst wildfire season we've ever seen. We must confront and contend with the edges of civilization that touch our compromised forests and rising oceans. We must accept the climatic damage we've caused and act to protect our most vulnerable.

Going hyperlocal: 5 brokerages ingraining themselves in their neighborhoods

Find out how these brokerages (and their agents) are making themselves essential parts of the communities they serve:

West + Main Homes

Offering up your office as a gallery space for local artists and fun pop-up events

Denver’s West + Main Homes makes it a priority to open their three walkable storefront offices to the communities they serve. According to Founder, Owner and CEO Stacie Staub, they do this by using their open-concept office spaces as gallery space for local artists, hosting First Friday events for them and participating in local Artwalk events.

West + Main First Friday Events + Pop Up Shops

“We knew that we didn’t want to be stuck on the third floor of an office building somewhere,” Staub said. “We want to be entrenched in the communities where we work, and to be supportive of local artisans and entrepreneurs … who eventually turn into our clients, friends and biggest West + Main cheerleaders!”

The brokerage also hosts two Pop-Up Shop events every year, opening their office space to local artists, crafters, makers and sources of local goods to set up booths at no charge and sell their wares.

“The energy of give-back events like First Friday Artwalk Openings and Pop-Up Shops is unbelievable,” Staub said. “They are a non-stop good-vibe time, bringing new people into our spaces and introducing them to the brand and also giving West + Main agents something to talk about, invite their clients to and enjoy.”

In addition to their support for the arts, West + Main offers meeting space at no charge for local therapy groups, nonprofit meet-ups and candidate meet-and-greets during local elections.

Client appreciation events are set in the community to support local businesses and organizations: Colorado Rockies home opener parties, St. Patrick’s Day parade celebrations, Octoberfest pumpkin give-aways, blood drive days and photos with Santa are all events that West + Main hosts annually.
