Liminal Space is a transitional or transformative space. A waiting area between one point in time and space and the next. Just like how our cultures and communities are diverse and varied, so too is the beautiful, enchanting and creative history of art. Thankfully being Latino isn’t just a singular experience and in this exhibition, you will see how these creative local artists are taking the knowledge and tradition of the past and its experiences and transforming our perceptions about cultural interpretations and identities into something that is new and original.

Doug Roche has over 40 years of experience as a freelance Jazz pianist. He currently resides in the Denver area, performing with many of Denver’s finest musicians. He is a member of the Denver Jazz Quartet, and PoeJazz (a blend of Jazz and Poetry).

Teresa Carroll has been a staple in the Denver area for many years. Teresa once said: “Jazz is my life, my passion! I am constantly learning and studying music and adding to my repertoire from this wonderful music we call Jazz.” This talented lady keeps herself busy performing at venues such as The Golden Hotel, The Brown Palace, Nocturne Jazz Club and many others. She has worked steadily over the past 30 years impressing audiences and remains one of the most sought after acts on the Denver jazz circuit. It's no wonder Westword magazine has twice awarded her "Best Jazz Vocalist".

Gabriel Mervine digs deeply into the Miles Davis catalogue alongside bassist Patrick McDevitt, drummer Alejandro Castaño, pianist Tom Amend, and saxophonists Daryl Gott and Taylor Clay. The sextet format opens up so many possibilities and brings a unique energy to the stage - this is going to be a special night of music. If you missed the Renditions Menu Launch or if you were there and can't wait to hear the band again, this is your chance!

She is an Ambassador for the nonprofit organization No Barriers to help people with disabilities overcome obstacles. Harvey uses "visual tuners" to help her find pitches.
