Bitfactory Gallery presents Human, a group exhibition featuring artists from the Christos Collective running March 15 through April 13, 2024. This through-provoking visual exploration asks, “What sets us apart in the animal kingdom?”. The public is invited to an Opening Reception on March 15, 6-9 pm at 851 Santa Fe Drive, and to visit during regular business hours Tuesday through Sunday 11:30 to 3:00 pm and during the First Friday Art Walk on April 5, 6-9 pm.

Christos Collective member artists were presented with the idea to explore our humanness given the fact that we share about 90% of our DNA with mice, dogs, cattle, and elephants and that 99% of our body is made of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, calcium, and a small amount of phosphorus. Human beings are neither the fastest nor the strongest animals on the planet—and not even the only ones with opposable thumbs!

The wide variety of creative takes on this topic are expressed through diverse genres like figurative, abstract, textile, assemblage, found objects, symbolism, and representational art.
The Christos Collective is a group of artists of Christian faith offering their talents to the public in exhibitions, educational panel discussions, and community engagement projects as a means to share their faith. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, their mission is to cultivate artists of Christian faith to embrace their vocation as ambassadors of the Holy Spirit, and impact culture through their art and art practice.

Bitfactory Gallery, located at 851 Santa Fe Drive in the heart of Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, exhibits work by the best emerging and up-and-coming local, national, and international visual artists, striving to showcase art that may not be a good fit for other galleries. They also host one major or renowned artist a year, bringing new and exciting work to Denver. The building also houses Bitfactory Studios with the vision of providing a helpful, friendly working atmosphere for artists and the Garage at Bitfactory, a pop-up space available to rent in one-, three-, or seven-day blocks. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. and by appointment.
