Leon is an innovative gallery that intentionally challenges limitations. We provide an environment for artistic exploration that is free from the market pressure and economic constraints of commercial galleries.

We challenge our artists.

We challenge our audience.

We challenge the art market.

Leon is both a non-profit gallery and creative space dedicated to mentoring emerging artists across multiple disciplines. We aim to nurture and promote each artist, assist them in the development of their practice, and connect them with greater and more ambitious career opportunities. We provide our local community with a welcoming environment in which they can explore and discover the artistry of creative individuals from Denver, and beyond.

The impact that Leon has made within the Denver community over the past twelve years is impressive and perhaps surprising, considering its humble beginnings. Leon continues to provide Denver with a physical space and socially engaged community that has a particular exuberance. Patrons have likened the energy of Leon’s events to those of NYC’s SoHo of the 70’s and 80’s, the salons of Montmartre during the days of early Modernism, Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich during the formative days of Dada, or the groundbreaking Ferris gallery in LA during the 60s. The level of influence and interest that Leon has garnered since 2011 is due to the owner’s passion and dedication to the arts and culture of our community and our time.
