The Art Center of Western Colorado is bringing an unforgettable night of art and comedy to the Grand Junction. Featuring a stellar lineup of more...0 comedians and an exclusive tour of our latest exhibition, this is an event you won’t want to miss! The night kicks off with a special Comedians Talk Art Tour, where guests will join The Art Center's Curator, Matthew Jones, alongside comedians BK Sharad and Sammy Anzer for an educational and comedic twist on art tours. Comedians say the quiet part out loud and aren't afraid to show how little they know about art. This makes for a tour that's more relaxed, more approachable, a little silly, and unlike any other. Join Matthew and our comedians for an intimate exploration of our newest exhibition, Contemporary Masters – The Wednesday Group, featuring artwork by Daniel Sprick, Mitch Caster, Emily Olson, and many others. Limited tickets available (20 spots only). You might've seen BK Sharad at the Netflix is a Joke Festival or in one of his viral stand-up videos with millions of views. His unique perspective—shaped by his experience as a former emo, hockey-playing, first-generation Indian millennial—delivers a fresh and hilarious outlook on life. Sammy Anzer is a national touring headliner who has performed everywhere from Aspen to the Apollo. He's written for Kevin Hart's LOL Network and performed alongside Kevin Nealon, DL Hughley, and Maria Bamford. Rooster Magazine in Denver describes his performances as blending "joy with contemplation," offering insightful societal commentary that inspires reflection while maintaining an uplifting atmosphere.

When Grammy winner Dave Alvin and Grammy nominee Jimmie Dale Gilmore made the album Downey To Lubbock together in 2018, they wrote the title track as more...0 a sort of mission statement. “I know someday this old highway’s gonna come to an end,” Alvin sings near the song’s conclusion. Gilmore answers: “But I know when it does you’re going to be my friend.” Six years later, they’re serving notice that the old highway hasn’t ended yet. “We’re still standing, no matter what you might hear,” they sing on “We’re Still Here,” the final track to their new album Texicali, which continues to bridge the distance between the two troubadours’ respective home bases of California (Alvin) and Texas (Gilmore).
