It’s time for Weekend Happenings, and since it’s the start of Denver Arts Week, we thought we would take advantage of this exciting week and share more details about this wonderful opportunity to take in the Denver arts scene.

First Friday

Every first Friday of each month you will find art districts open for business with specials and treats. For this particular First Friday many participating galleries are offering local art for as low as $52.80, giving you that extra incentive to get out there and take a look (even if you don’t want to buy anything!). Choose from areas including the Art District on Santa Fe, RINO (River North Art District), Tennyson Street Cultural District, and more. Follow this link to see more neighborhoods that participate plus more information about what you will find at each.

Calendar
