Sundog Gallery, a newly opened art space in downtown Mancos, has announced that it will host an exhibition celebrating the life and work of Cortez painter Stanton Englehart, including rare pieces, never-before-seen pieces.
The exhibition will open on Friday, Sept. 5 and can be viewed from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Sundog Gallery, 143 E. Grand Ave. in Mancos.
According to information from the gallery, Englehart was born on a farm in Cortez in 1931. In 1957, he moved to Durango to attend Fort Lewis College before earning a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Colorado. For 30 years, he taught in the college’s art department before retiring in 1991 to focus on painting full-time.
He died in 2009.
The exhibition also will include personal notes, reflections, insights and more from Englehart into his creative process and style.
Sundog Gallery opened its doors on Aug. 1 and hopes to be a hub for regional art.
The public is invited to explore, not only Englehart’s art, but other works by local artists. More information about the gallery and Englehart’s exhibition, can visit www.sundoggallery.com or call (970) 555-1234.
