✨STUDIO SPOTLIGHT✨

DAN McEWAN

Each month, the Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission features a local artist in the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation display case.

Dan McEwan is a Colorado-based maker whose practice centers on traditional hand-tool woodworking, steam-bending, and blacksmithing. Drawing on traditional American furniture design, Middle Eastern architecture, and medieval European craft, he creates functional and sculptural pieces that favor repair over replacement and the evidence of the hand over automation.

See Dan’s art in the Wheat Ridge Recreation Center lobby display case. Stay tuned for future artists!

What a beautiful morning at the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Easter Egg Hunt! 🐰🌷

The Wheat Ridge Cultural Commission had such a great time connecting with families and adding a little extra color to the fun. Our table was full of smiles as we handed out chalk, crayons, and coloring books! 🎨✨

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello! We loved being part of such an egg-cellent morning! 🥚🎉
