Notable members and alumni of Pirate: A Contemporary Art Oasis: Stephen Batura. This up-and-comer was named The Denver Post's artist of the year in 2004. His year started with a solo exhibition sponsored by the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver and culminated with a $216,000 mural commission for the Newton Auditorium. Dale Chisman. He ranks among most Denver's most widely known abstract painters. He was one of five veteran Colorado artists included in "5 Abstract," a 2002 group exhibition at the contemporary art museum. Martha Daniels. This nationally known clay artist was featured in a solo exhibition in the Denver Art Museum's Close Range Gallery in 2000. Her sculptures can be found in numerous collections around the world. Margaret Neumann. Neumann creates moody, semi-abstract compositions that incorporate vaguely defined figures. She was the subject last year of a small solo exhibition on the mezzanine of the contemporary art museum. Louis Recchia. The Denver Art Museum owns two of his works, including a boisterous, found-object relief painting nearly 20 feet wide that was included in the institution's 2002-03 contemporary-art showcase, "Retrospectacle."
