Uhl sought a partnership with Chris Mileham, an experienced gallery owner who started the well-respected Abend Gallery back in 1990. Now, both galleries are under one roof, sharing the same sprawling 6,300 square foot space.
Essentially a family-run business, management and ownership responsibilities are divided between Mileham and her brother, David Ethridge, who has served as Director of Gallery 1261 since 2010. The expanded curatorial team includes Vietnamese/American artist Quang Ho, who had his first one man show in Denver at the age of 16, a time when most teenagers are more interested in getting their driver’s license than mounting an exhibit of their own artwork.
