About
For the fourth year in a row, Bordo Bello is about breathing life into the Denver arts community. Our goal is to expand the audience of AIGA Colorado and open up the design community to incorporate the related artistic fields that help shape our culture. It all began with an idea by then AIGA Colorado Mentorship Director, Matt Bargell of Bargell Design, who named the event as dedication to his wife’s Italian heritage. Since then this wonderful concept has become one of Colorado’s premier artist events that brings together artists nation-wide for a common good.
Bordo Bello’s funds go to AIGA Colorado’s mentorship opportunities. This includes VSA Colorado/Access Gallery, Robert Taylor AIGA Colorado Scholarship fund, as well as the development of new programming (to be rolled out in 2012).
The Charities
Access Gallery: Home of VSA arts of Colorado where is creating a world where people with disabilities have the opportunity to learn through, participate in, and enjoy the arts. They host AIGA Colorado’s mentorship program Giving Voice as well as many other community-based activities.
The Robert Taylor AIGA Colorado Scholarship recognizes young designers who are dedicated to raising the standards in practice and conduct within the design community. The Robert Taylor AIGA Colorado Scholarship is named for Robert W. Taylor, whose contribution to the design community as a whole, has both led and inspired designers and design as a practice.
