The NoBo Bus Stop Gallery

"Dancing Makes Me Feel the Most Alive” is an embodied, sober celebration of authenticity, connection, and joy. The evening invites participants to show up as their whole selves—unmasked, playful, present—and to move, rest, and connect.Woven Intersections exhibiting June 28-July26, features Ascend, a site-specific rope, wood, and concrete sculptural installation by Teague McDaniel (they/them). Each event in this series is a unique site activation that engages with our ability to feel, perceive, or experience things subjectively—especially as it pertains to our geographic location in this moment in time.Curated by Teague McDaniel (they/them)—a multidisciplinary artist, healer, and founder of Creative Integration Initiative (CII)—Woven Intersections transforms the Bus Stop Gallery into an evolving space of artistic expression, accessibility, and radical belonging. Each event in the series explores how creativity intersects with identity, healing, and liberation.Teague McDaniel (they/he) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator who grew up in and is based in Denver/Boulder. McDaniel's current roles include acting as the Founder and Curator at Creative Integration Initiative (CII), adjunct professor in the Department of Art at MSU Denver, and practicing artist. Their art practice is media agnostic and frequently traverses installation, performance, social practice, and printmaking. They hold an MA in Art and BA in Art.Suggested Cover is $10, but we don't want that to be a barrier, so give whatever donation you can and if that means more, by all means be a patron and support the events you want produced.ACCESS DESCRIPTION:Bus Stop Gallery is located in North Boulder. There are approximately 12 parking spots, 3 of which are designated as accessible; one has a ramp access area. There is a paved, flat sidewalk between the parking lot and gallery that is about 30 feet long. The entrance has a swinging door with no automatic opener and a gradual 1-inch grate bump. There is one all-gender, accessible, single-occupancy restroom with a narrow entry from the hallway and a small table under the entry lightswitch near the door. The doorway has over 35 inches of clearance and includes a stability bar near the toilet. The gallery floor is flat concrete, and no scented cleaning supplies or air fresheners are used. Lighting includes bright fluorescent and natural light.The gallery will notify participants if flashing lights are present at any event. Sound echoes in the 500-square-foot space, and crowded openings can feel quite loud. There is one emergency exit—the same as the front entrance. Additionally, all five glass garage doors can be opened in case of emergency. The nature of the installation present in Ascend, makes for a more crowded intimate space since ropes are attached at diagonal angles from the floor to the walls making it so there are tight corners to navigate. While the artist paid particular attention to ADA clearances for exhibition design, the space will be more difficult to navigate than an open room. There is an approximately 10' x 10' space upon entry with no ropes and three of the ropes can be moved. Please let the gallery know if you would like the ropes to be moved or any of the garage doors to be opened in order to provide greater mobility through the space. We acknowledge the difficulty that this particular installation presents for those using mobility devices and/or with mobility related disabilities and thank you for any feedback or accommodations requests that will create greater access in this spatial installation. We plan to open garage doors to allow more maneuverability when possible.
