BETA TO REOPEN

week of intensive training, Spotify said in a press statement. Burris was also one of only four women to win $10,000 from Spotify to fund her upcoming podcast project. Past alumni of Sound Up have received development deals, connections to industry leaders and production grants “to take their concepts to the next level,” Spotify said. Beta 2.0, as Denver’s Beta nightclub is calling its reboot, will arrive on Halloween weekend, according to the company’s Twitter profile. The nationally renowned electronic-music and dance club at 1909 Blake St. was previously looking at a summer reopening, The Denver Business Journal reported earlier this year, but is now selling $31 and $41 tickets to a Sept. 29 sneak-preview of its refurbished space, followed by the public re-opening in late October. Owner and founder Brad Roulier tried to sell the club after closing it earlier this year but was unsuccessful, leading him to renovate and reopen, DBJ reporter Andrew Dodson wrote. The reopening comes less than a year after 33-year-old Jacob Morton died outside Beta in December 2018 after dancing there and taking the club drug MDA, according to The Denver Channel. Roulier told The Denver Channel the club’s closure earlier this year was not related to Morton’s death. Beta officials have not responded to multiple Denver Post email and phone requests for comment. Curators at the Denver Art Museum on Tuesday named “ReVisión: Art in the Américas” as the first temporary exhibition to open in the Martin Building (formerly known as the North Building) following a two-year renovation project. That’s just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Gio Ponti-designed structure. Nearly 180 objects from the museum’s Ancient and Latin American collections will tell “a visually compelling narrative about the formation of the Americas from 100 B.C. to today,” according to a press statement. The exhibition will be presented in the redesigned, 6,580-square-foot BonfilsStanton Gallery, with exhibition design by awardwinning firm IKD of Boston and San Francisco, DAM officials said. “ReVisión” is scheduled to be on view June through December 2020.
