For “BRILLIANT 2014,” GOCA will feature new works and original performances by Ormao Dance Company, Denver Digerati/IvarZeile, Soul Mechanics Krew, DJ Prominent and visual artist Wendy Mike. Rana Novini, KRDO News Channel 13 anchor, will emcee the evening’s program with guest appearances by regional leaders throughout. A live(ly) auction includes an original artwork by artist and UCCS alumnus Dareece Walker, plus more.
“BRILLIANT 2014” is a creative extravaganza that raises critical financial support needed to realize future gallery programs, exhibits, and innovative collaborations. GOCA is known as a regional leader in contemporary culture programming. Money raised at “BRILLIANT” will be used to bring 2014-2015 exhibits and programs in both gallery spaces and to the community.
GOCA is a regional hub of contemporary art, culture, and conversation. By featuring world-class artists, hosting artist and expert talks, and offering meaningful events, GOCA engages UCCS students, faculty, staff and Pikes Peak Region community members in contemporary culture and life.
