Here is my February 10, 2013, Twitter review of the Art of the State show at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities.
Art of the State is a juried exhibition of art from all across the state of Colorado. Arvada Center is a spacious and beautiful place. So the exhibition is always expansive and dazzling.
I can't remember for sure, now (2019), but I think this was the very first Art of the State show. There have since been follow-ups in 2016 and 2019.
Even though this review is very simplistic, I'm fond it because it was -- I'm pretty sure -- the first art gallery/museum review I posted to Twitter.
Unlike my earlier Twitter reviews, this is not posted in one thread. Instead, I post each tweet separately.
The tweets are below for your convenience.

Tweet 1. Went to the "Art of the State" art exhibit at @arvadacenter today. Good exhibit of works by local artists. And I like Arvada Center's space.
T2. Works I liked from Art of the State @arvadacenter - "Constant Acclivity" by Melissa Furness: swimmers superimposed on Mayan ruins & designs.
T3. @arvadacenter Also liked "Mending" by @KatieMCaron - Stop motion animation of body-like, machine-like contagion-landscapes in seven parts.
T4. @arvadacenter Liked the almost Egyptian, massive, black bust of "Quiet Mind" by Scarlett Kanistanaux.
T5. @arvadacenter Liked how Bernice Strawn's "Ascent" & Libby Barbee's "Reimagining Bierstadt" reminded me of Colorado. Both very creative.
Interestingly, Arvada Center replied to my review:
