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 and never-before-seen pieces.
The exhibition will open Sept. 5 and can be viewed from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Sundog Gallery, 107 W. 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 Aug. 1 and hopes to be a hub for regional art.
