• Art
Walks
Denver Art Walks
are a great way to spend a leisurely early evening seeing several simultaneous
openings of new art exhibits, meeting the artists, socializing with friends and
enjoying refreshments provided at a variety of stops at the many establishments
that specifically cater to the gallery crowd. Originally started by the Lower
Downtown (LoDo) Arts District, art walks have sprung up in neighborhoods throughout
the metro area.
Central Denver Art Walk–Many galleries stay open late the first
Friday of each month–generally from 5–8pm or later. Galleries with
changing exhibits take this opportunity to introduce the general public to new
shows. A host of surrounding businesses in the area accommodate the crowds–restaurants,
bars, bookstores and so forth. Some free
transportation is available for the self-guided
tour. Participating districts include
Lower Downtown (LoDo), River
North Art District (RiNo), North Denver, Olde
Town Santa Fe Drive, the Golden
Triangle (GoTri), Tennyson
