Mirada Fine Art was voted 'Denver's Best Art Gallery' by the Denver A-List. |
Adding to a lengthy list of
accolades, Mirada Fine Art was recently named the best art gallery in the
Denver metro area, topping the CityVoter Denver A-List. The gallery, which was referred to as
‘a hidden gem’ when it opened in 2010, apparently is no longer a very well-kept
secret. The A-List captured the opinions of a very large sample size, garnering
over 74,000 total online votes for local businesses, with over 100 galleries
represented.
Admirers of the gallery
point to its picturesque location just southwest of the city, character-rich
historic log building, impressive collection of nationally-acclaimed artists,
and most of all the stunning artwork itself, as some of the reasons they’re
such devoted supporters. No newcomer to this type of recognition, Mirada has
been named one of the top 25 galleries in the country by the American Art
Awards for 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Mirada has been featured in numerous national publications in addition
to local ‘Best of’ lists.
“We’re not in a ‘typical’ Denver location for fine art, and purposely
so,” gallery owner Steve Sonnen explains. “We didn’t want a sterile, white wall
gallery.” An eclectic array of
award-winning contemporary artists, most of whom show only at Mirada in the
state, were handpicked by Sonnen.
He particularly likes how the gallery’s rustic setting showcases the
contemporary art and demonstrates how art will work in any setting. “We feel so
fortunate…people found us, fell in love with the art, and keep coming back,”
Steve enthuses.
