Nowhere is this more apparent than in its long-standing support for the arts, a core pillar of the bank\u2019s identity and a reflection of its mission to be more than a financial institution, but a partner in community well-being.<\/p>\n<p>In Boulder, this commitment has recently come to life in a truly innovative way with the unveiling of Adularia, an original, one-of-a-kind digital art commission by First Western created by local artist Chris Coleman. Installed in First Western Trust\u2019s newly updated Boulder office, Adularia is more than a visual statement. It is a thoughtful, immersive experience, rooted in the region\u2019s natural beauty and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>A Tradition of Supporting the Arts<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Since 2006, First Western Trust has actively supported nonprofits and arts organizations throughout Boulder and the greater Western U.S. Headquartered in Colorado, the bank has spent the past two decades building a distinguished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=MHwwg_pSYfJvOHTC4ZAC2VAXnx1ggYF-mHzIwMv9_Zc7-0-zP9DPtigI2TCgw391jY0oN161OcggQSik8dChyAdjMwMp2pfxA3EV7OOELPGLRPr7leQE_b4Dy_EkeSwu\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">art collection<\/a>, curated by Simon Zalkind, that highlights contemporary artists with deep ties to the region.<\/p>\n<p>Founder, Chairman, and CEO Scott Wylie, along with President and COO Julie Courkamp, have long championed the idea that art should play a central role in the experience of the bank, not just for clients, but for associates and the broader community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal is to animate our spaces,\u201d says Courkamp. \u201cWe wanted to try something completely new with this digital commission, something bold and connected to Boulder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>From Concept to Creation: Commissioning Adularia<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>In 2023, First Western Trust embarked on a nationwide search for an artist who could bring that vision to life. Led by curator Simon Zalkind, the selection process began with a review of over 20 artists, which was narrowed down to nine, and finally to three semi-finalists who were invited to present detailed concepts.<\/p>\n<p>Key to the selection was finding an artist with local ties to the Western U.S. and a practice that reflects the landscape and spirit of Boulder. Chris Coleman emerged as the ideal choice, not only for his artistic approach, but for his deep connection to the natural surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>To create <em>Adularia<\/em>, Coleman hiked more than a dozen trails surrounding Boulder, using video and photogrammetry to generate 3D models of the landscape. The result is a richly layered digital animation that blends real-world data and imaginative storytelling and explores how memory, movement, and nature intersect.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Adularia<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Named after a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=IFY_7FwezELKYvfLmh7jVEijYXILEpy48hNcnc5xhErqqiJH6wxFvxpey6fPhGpN6NjuICxmCsOwILEJRwFhrg3GYCIp0EMji5JwxHDk43wYWOcUSb62_yMEsrg3PvttKeCuPtDZmdROhMSpeh6-DA==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">gemstone native to Colorado\u2019s mountains<\/a>, <em>Adularia<\/em> is a digitally rendered meditation on nature, memory, and movement.

The result is a one-hour original digital video experience, both abstract and familiar, that echoes the paths we walk to reconnect with nature and ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery hike is a new one, even on the same trail,\u201d Coleman writes. \u201c<em>Adularia<\/em> gathers those fragments, a sudden view, a tree worn smooth by many hands, into a quiet meditation on landscape and our constant journeys across this land.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Meet the Artist: Chris Coleman<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Chris Coleman is a Denver-based artist whose creative work spans sculpture, animation, generative coding, and interactive installations.
