Art Movement Colorado

Art industry veterans, Trudi Horowitz and Susan Knickle founded Art Movement Colorado with the mission of providing high-level contemporary artwork and sculpture to private collectors and public corporations.

By understanding the design needs of an environment, they personally curate pieces to complement commercial spaces, improve private collections, and build stronger brands for corporations. Their new space located at 3633 Hazelwood Ct, is part art gallery, part consulting business. We at Design Studio Interior Solutions are proud to work with the creative minds behind this undertaking of artistic entrepreneurship and love the way their contemporary pieces bring new layers of meaning to any space.

Boulder: Uniquely Inspirational

For the two curators, Boulder is more than a place to live. It represents a work of art all its own with a truly unique and eclectic style. Trudi and Susan have called Boulder home since the 70s, and have seen the town grow and develop its own distinct character. From hidden restaurant gems to trendy boutiques and retailers, Boulder is a constantly changing source of inspiration for them, a unique source of creativity that’s as uncommon as it is addictive. Below, we interviewed the duo about what they love best about the bustling city Art Movement calls home and which things about Boulder inspire them from day to day.

What restaurant do you think is the best-kept secret in town?Emerson.

Do you think there is a distinct Boulder style? If so, how would you describe it?
Boulder style is eclectic…Combine jeans, an oversized Gucci cashmere sweater, Jimmy Choo stilettos, a funky scarf from a flea market in Paris and a locally made hobo bag, topped with a hat from Goorin and you’ve pretty much got the look!

How do you think Boulder will change in the next 5 years?
Hopefully, Boulder will continue to be the wonderful city that it has always been…but with more people!
