Something I love about Denver is its dedication to arts and culture. This year’s Denver Art Week is November 5th-13th, and there is so much to see and do! This is a great opportunity to get out and explore our beautiful city.
Have you been looking for a piece of art for that bare wall in your home for the last year? Want to find unique holiday gifts that are thoughtful and personalized? First Friday Art Walks are the perfect time to check off that gift! Another crowd pleaser are the free nights at the museums. They even have shuttles this year! From comedy to opera to tango, Denver offers something for everyone. I’ve highlighted a few activities and events below, but be sure to check out all the other happenings coming up here: Denver Arts Week.
