The Greeley Business Beat

Heidi Noggle, member artist and membership coordinator at Madison and Main Gallery, joins the Greeley Business Beat to share the story behind one of downtown Greeley’s longest-running creative spaces. Founded in 1987 as an artist cooperative, the gallery brings together more than 20 member artists alongside guest and consignment artists from across Northern Colorado.

The conversation explores how the cooperative model works in practice, why collaboration and shared responsibility have helped the gallery thrive for nearly four decades, and what it takes to completely transform the space every two months for a new show. Heidi also talks about First Friday events, welcoming emerging artists, and why Madison and Main continues to be a vibrant place for creativity, connection, and community.

Ed and Marsha Edmunds of Distortions Unlimited join the Greeley Business Beat to share how a lifelong love of monsters turned into a Greeley-based business known around the world for masks, props, and animatronics. Ed traces it back to his early days at UNC, when a costume contest win sparked the idea that eventually grew from a small apartment into a global operation.

In this episode, we hear how the Distortions team dreams up new creatures, why their downtown location near Greeley’s growing arts scene fits surprisingly well, and how Monster Day helped deepen their connection to the local community.
