The GCAC Wardell Gallery hosts monthly art exhibitions featuring the work of local Greeley and Weld County artists from a variety of disciplines.
Community members are invited to connect with the art through special events, First Friday Art Walk, and during any of our regular hours.

Lucha Libre
OCTOBER 2026
Embrace the tradition of Lucha Libre through the eyes of Latina Photographer, Adriana Carbajal Wicker in this exhibition. The art form incorporates vibrant, colorful costumes and energetic characters who battle in stories of good versus evil. The tradition brings rich aztec history to life by displaying aztec gods, superheroes, and villains as they wrestle, tumble, and perform. Come witness the stories captured within the artwork; each picture offers a unique glimpse into a luchador’s inner conflict as they grapple through the epic stories they enact. The exhibition also features custom made gear including Angel de Paz’s custom made “Winged Mask” which represents the uplifting spirit he received from his Mexican ancestors and El Diablo Vega’s mask which represents the aztec demon warrior that inspired him.
