Denver Arts Week 2020 | VISIT DENVER

Step 1: Plan Your First Weekend

Denver Arts Week's opening weekend offers three nights and two days of artsy fun.

The big kickoff is the First Friday Art Walks, a celebration of local art and artists in The Mile High City's thriving neighborhood art districts: Art District On Santa Fe, Golden Triangle Creative District, Arts on Belmar, RiNo (River North Art District), Tennyson Street Cultural District and 40 West Arts District.

First Friday Art Walks take place every month, with galleries open late, great food and drink, a festive atmosphere, and amazing art to check out. Pick three or four districts to explore - you've got all night!

Denver Arts Week gives you the chance to meet artists and hear the stories behind their creations.
