TAD stands for Temporary Alternative Duty (often used in reference to labor), but also an acronym for Toby And Don, the two curators behind TAD Projects: Tobias Fike and Donald Fodness. Formed in 2022, its purpose is to curate and generate exhibitions and art events in Colorado and beyond. With a DIY spirit and desire to experiment curatorially, TAD sets out to strengthen, bridge and build community through art.
We emphasize the alternative.
