Who's in the Limelight?

Jennifer Heath

Independent scholar, cultural journalist, critic, and curator


With 18 exhibition venues and over 300 participating artists, you shouldn't miss seeing Celebration! A History of the Visual Arts in Boulder (HOVAB) over the next several months (through January 15, 2017). HOVAB was conceived by Jennifer Heath, who now is the Director and Senior Curator-at-large. HOVAB will "revisit and celebrate the City of Boulder’s dynamic and diverse visual arts past." It spans 121 years of history and includes 50 opening receptions, film screenings, presentations and panel discussions.  There will be a catalogue to document and preserve Boulder’s visual arts heritage in perpetuity as well.

Heath has lived and worked in Boulder since 1975. Her many international touring exhibitions include Water, Water Everywhere: Paean to a Vanishing Resource (the first in a climate-change trilogy), which began traveling in 2012; The Veil: Visible & Invisible Spaces, which toured the United States from 2008 to 2013; and Black Velvet: The Art We Love to Hate. The Map is Not the Territory: Parallel Paths— Palestinians, Native Americans, Irish launched in 2013 in Washington, D.C., has traveled in the US and Europe, and is the foundational exhibition for a planned series of art shows about peace, justice, and reconciliation. Heath is the author/editor of twelve books of fiction and non-fiction.

BCAA is proud to be the fiscal sponsor for Jennifer Heath and HOVAB.

Community Mural Project with Rafael López

13th and Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder

It was a true community effort to create the new mural with Rafael López from September 28 - October 1. Rafael shared his gift and generous spirit with us and has made something beautiful for all to enjoy. BCAA is grateful to:

  • the City of Boulder's Office of Arts and Culture for matching grant funds, as well as support from the City's Risk Management and Facilities offices;
  • the principal, Ina Rodriguez-Myer and art teacher, Mary Powell, at University Hill Elementary School for sharing 160 of their student artists, whose own stories helped inspire Rafael's design;
  • the art teachers at Boulder High School, Virginia Schick, Kate Villareal and Dave Blessing, and their art students for working alongside Rafael;
  • the dozens of BCAA members and friends who volunteered their artistic skills and time;
  • BaoBao Foundation and Boulder Samba School for performing at the site;
