BLACK HAWK – A new creative chapter has begun in Gilpin County, where Ted Garcia has opened his fine art gallery in Black Hawk’s historic HARD District.
Located at 327 Gregory Street in the old Woodbury building, the gallery brings vibrant energy to a corner of town steeped in history.
For Garcia, this is more than a business venture—it’s a homecoming. As a child, he visited the area with his family, wandering the mountain towns and soaking in the landscapes that would later inspire his work. The gallery now offers a space where those memories meet the bold creativity that has defined his artistic journey.
Garcia’s reputation precedes him. An award-winning artist, he’s been a staple at local art events, including the Gilpin Arts Gallery’s Spring Fever Feature Show and Central City’s Plein Air Festival, where he served as the 2022 Festival Artist.
His work is celebrated for its fearless use of color, texture, and movement, capturing fleeting emotions and the essence of “the moment” on canvas.
His gallery is a testament to versatility. Visitors will find a range of original oil paintings, from pocket-sized minis—some crafted as ornaments or tucked into Altoids tins—to large-scale works that dominate a wall with their presence.
Greeting cards, mid-sized canvases, and commissioned pieces round out the offerings, making art accessible to all.
The space functions as more than just a showroom. Workstations scattered throughout the gallery offer visitors a glimpse into Garcia’s creative process, often finding him immersed in a new painting. Plans for future art classes hint at the gallery’s potential to become a hub for local creativity.
Whether you're an art collector, a curious passerby, or someone looking for a unique gift, the gallery invites you to step into Garcia’s world.
It’s a world where nostalgia for the mountains meets the vibrancy of modern expression, offering a vision of inspiration for everyone who walks through the door.
The gallery is open Friday through Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can explore his work online at tedgarcia.com.
