ALERT
After careful consideration, we are temporarily closing the NCAR Mesa Lab and the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center to the public in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community and protect our employees. This closure will begin March 12 until further notice and includes the cancelation of educational programs and tours of the exhibit areas.

For over 50 years the NCAR Community Art Program has presented art exhibitions by a range of regional artists at the NCAR Mesa Laboratory in Boulder, CO. Each year, hundreds of artists from the Rocky Mountain region, and beyond, participate in the jury process from which artists are selected for individual and group exhibitions. The exhibit space is in the expansive cafeteria within the laboratory building and is open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays.

Delcia Litt is a glass and stone mosaic artist with a background in traditional stained glass. She has worked in this field since 1985. She has studied under many significant mentors over the years. She particularly valued her time at the Ravenna, Italy, Mosaic Art School under the tutelage of Luciana Notturni in 2011. There she learned about Roman and Byzantine styles constructed in the old school ways. Most recently she revisited those ancient stone cutting techniques at a workshop by Deb Aldo, a professional stone worker in the USA. She has received many prestigious art awards for her designs in contemporary abstract assemblage mosaics. She does commission art work and now offers workshops in her home town of Erie, Colorado. |

Monica Tymcio’s paintings are a testimonial to her love of nature. She has spent the last 30 years living off-grid near the Indian Peaks Wilderness of Western Boulder County. It is here in this inspirational locale with her rescued horses, dogs and cats that she has made her home. She spends her time exploring the wilderness areas of Colorado on horseback, as well as backpacking in the remote canyons of Utah and New Mexico. Monica draws upon the deep sense of emotion she feels about a place or experience and then expresses that through her paintings to share with the viewer. |
