Veteran Arts Month

Regis University and the Veterans Arts Council present Veterans Art Month in honor of Veterans Day, November 11th, and dedicated to the creation of art by Colorado’s finest Veteran artists. Artwork is on display in the library’s fireplace lounge and Hartman gallery through November 30th and all works on display are available for purchase.

In addition, sneak a peek and learn more about the Alex Kershaw collection. Alex Kershaw is the widely acclaimed author of several New York Times bestselling books about WWII. He donated his collection of research materials to Regis University’s Center for the Study of War Experience and the collection is currently being catalogued.

The Regis University Center for the Study of War Experience has information on upcoming events celebrating the release of the Netflix series, The Liberator. The Liberator is based on the book by Alex Kershaw who used research conducted by Dr. Dan Clayton and the Regis University Center for the Study of War Experience. The series will not be screened at either event.

James Dixon: Sculptures and Paintings

As a visual artist, James Dixon has used his cultural experience and knowledge to achieve universality rather than create a barrier to mainstream culture. Because his work is not bound by ethnic stereotypes, his audience is able to appreciate his art as an expression that unites rather than divides diverse communities and interests. In this way, Dixon is a global citizen whose work becomes a crossroads of exploration into the ever-expanding realm of worldwide artistic creation.

James’ work will be on display in the Fireplace Lounge of Dayton Memorial Library through May.

Highlighting Black History Month

This month, there are 2 displays in the library highlighting Black History Month. You’ll find a selection of books and music on the 2nd floor, and a film display highlighting Black History Month through historic Oscar winners on the 1st floor.

Cultivating Champions exhibit

The Cultivating Champions exhibit, on display for the month of February, highlights the champion tress that are a part of the arboretum on Regis’ Northwest Denver campus.

“The exhibit is not the history of the Arboretum but a presentation of what a tree does and what humans can do to preserve an environment that is enhanced by their presence,” said Elizabeth Cook, University archivist. “I really think that people will leave with a greater appreciation of our trees and an enriched knowledge of arboretums in general.”

Library faculty and staff share their creativity

The Dayton Memorial Library faculty and staff have teamed up to share a wide range of creative works in the Doyle and Margaret Hartman Gallery and Fireplace Lounge in the library through January. Textiles, digital media, poetry, prints and paintings are some of the media represented.
