In this episode of State of Art, host Bree Pappan sits down with artist and gallerist Jeff Madeen of Blo Back Gallery and event producer Steve Poikonen to explore the creative engine behind the Truth Show and the 3rd Annual Third Eye Carnival, happening July 4–6, 2025, at the Blo Back Gallery in Pueblo’s historic Grove neighborhood.
From the radical TRUTH art show opening on First Friday to three days of live music, panels, and carnival antics, this weekend-long event promises unfiltered expression and community celebration. Bree digs deep into the origins of the Carnival, the intention behind the TRUTH exhibit, and where this underground cultural force is heading next.
Art. Music. Truth. Rebellion. This isn’t just an event—it’s a movement.
