Vance Kirkland Artwork
515 Race Street Mural behind the Family Room Bar Mural in Exercise Room Vance Kirkland (1904–1981) was among the most important Colorado and regional painters of the 20th century. He was born November 3rd in Convoy, Ohio, a small country town west of Cleveland, near the Indiana border. Kirkland studied at the Cleveland School of Art, receiving a Diploma Degree of Painting (1927) and a Bachelor of Education in Art (BEA, 1928), continuing a second year of studies in art history and art education at the Cleveland School of Education and Western Reserve University (1926–1928). Kirkland married Anne Fox Oliphant in 1941 and enjoyed traveling and entertaining with her. In addition to his 55-year career as an innovative and successful painter, he was a remarkable educator and collector. Kirkland came to Denver in January, 1929 as the Founding Director of the current School of Art at the University of Denver (DU) at Chappell House. Aside from his influence as a professor, Kirkland was active in the local art community and worked to establish the Modern Art movement in Denver, where he lived for the rest of his life. He left DU in 1932 to establish the Kirkland School of Art (1932–1946) at 1311 Pearl Street. The Kirkland School of Art was highly successful, and in 1946 DU enticed Kirkland to return as director of its school of art until his retirement in 1969. He continued to paint in his Pearl Street studio until his death in 1981. Bio Courtesy of the Kirkland Museum

COUNTRY CLUB One of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the Denver area, the Country Club Historic District “suffers not from the fluctuations of the real estate market,” says 5280 Magazine. Developed in the early 1900s at the same time as the Denver Country Club, it was first known as the “Spanish Suburb” because of its many tile-roofed homes and its distance from the city center. Listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and designated a Landmark District, prominent local architects William and Arthur Fisher and Jean Jacques Benedict created the area’s elaborate Denver Squares, Georgians, Mediterraneans, Spanish Colonials and Tudors. To complement the eclectic variety of homes, wide parkways and distinctive gates were designed to mark entry points to the neighborhood. An oasis in the city, the neighborhood is made up of only 400 homes. Its location is spectacular, only steps from Alamo Placita Park and Cherry Creek’s “best of the best” shops, restaurants, art galleries, Farmer’s Market and the beloved Bike Path. Residents say they most love the proximity to downtown, the 4th of July Parade, the history of the homes and the beauty of the gardens, gates and flowers. Worry free bike rides for kids and and walks to friends’ houses make this neighborhood a good choice for families.
