Curatorial Statement

proprietor + curator
Sharon Bridges
I have always felt my spirit resonate most strongly in the mountains. Driving with my windows down and my music up, the crisp mountain air blowing through my hair, I discovered my true north. In an attempt to find peace through the tempest caused by the pandemic, my compass was directing me to the mountains of Colorado. In March of 2021 I left my heart and found true love in a town which is perfectly aligned with zero degrees north, and it became clear the Universe had been listening.
I am beyond thrilled to have spent the summer of 2021 in Salida and, more importantly to have manifested, NO°RT+H: An Art Destination.
You'll be invited to interact with art at the intersection of southern hospitality and chill creative vibes. I aim to create an ambience for all of my art events which I can best describe as a blend of warm walls, cool vinyl, and vibrant conversations – think art speakeasy.
​
Many hear the call of the mountains—few listen. I have heard the Universe and the mountains, and I have answered the call. My heart and soul are pointed North.
I am grateful you decided to join my artists and me for an innovative + elevated art experience—we promise to direct you to your true north.
