"Watch your step" opening reception

Activist artist Steve Denton was born in Detroit. After graduating from high school, he moved to Bristol, Tenn., and attended King College. At school, he discovered theater and began acting in plays and doing improv comedy. After a heart attack at age 42 forced him to retire from performance arts, Steve took up 2- and 3-dimensional art in earnest. His modern folk-style work runs the gamut from whimsical abstracts to heavy political commentary, using acrylic paints and collage techniques to get his message out. Steve calls this exhibition at Atelier 133 "Watch Your Step," after an Elvis Costello song, stating Costello has been prescient politically and a hero of the resistance.

This exhibit will be up from August 1st to August 31st. Gallery hours are Monday, Thursday, Friday 11-4, and Saturday, Sunday 9-3.

Our opening reception starts at 6:30pm and ends at 9pm. It is a free event, and is open to the public. We hope to see you there!
