Michael Paglia's Art of the State 2019 Review

Come see amazing art from artists from all over Colorado.

Here is Emily Clingman's take on the "Craft and Customization" panel discussion Phillip participated in during Denver Design Week.
Custom Designs Growing in Value as Trend Shifts Towards Authenticity

Phil will be participating in a panel discussion at Denver Design Week 2017!

Craft and Customization:

Highlighting Denver’s Maker Movement

Phillip Mann, Donnie Criswell, Becky Day, Breton Lujan, Mike Blea

Short: By ignoring the lure of mass production and emphasizing the craft and authenticity of their handmade products, Denver’s professional maker-community has found their niche in the greater design and retail world.

Long: How do Denver’s local makers and retailers survive and thrive in the face of the rapid rise of e-commerce and mass-production?

This panel discussion will feature several prominent local makers, including an industrial designer, a furniture designer, and a fashion/accessory line that have found success in Denver by prioritizing craft and authenticity in their handmade products.

These makers will speak to starting your own business, the Denver maker-community, as well as the role of craft and customization as it relates to their work and business model.

Phillip participated in a workshop from the Public Interest Design Institute and presented by Design Corps and Metropolitan State University of Denver.

Phillip has been awarded Colorado Art Ranch's "Terraphilia Residency" in beautiful Salida, Colorado, and will spend part of the summer making sculptural objects and installations inspired by the natural world.

Rafting + Writing + Art + Science
Colorado Art Ranch is offering its first Floatposia, a delightful adventure for the mind, body and spirit. Floating is fun, writing is fun, art is fun, science is fun; so why not put them together in one trip?

We'll float the Green River for four days and take time to make art with words, rocks, sand, plants and ideas. We have three experts to help us in our play: nature writer Susan Tweit, sculptor Phil Mann, and paleobotanist Ian Miller. No experience necessary.
