The second annual Denver Arts Week is underway, and it’s all FREE. The Denver Metro Convention & Visitors Bureau launched the event last year as a way to get residents to focus on local visual and performing arts in a fashion reminiscent of the popular Denver Restaurant Week.
The official Arts Week period (Nov. 14 to 22) – with special performances, arts activities and lectures, nighttime hours at many museums, deals on tickets – transitions right into Denver’s 150th-birthday celebration on Nov. 22.
The event celebrates Denver’s growing cultural scene, from world-class museums to hip art galleries, from Broadway-worthy performing arts to cutting-edge theater. The arts celebration has more than 150 events that are being staged at seven arts districts around Denver and at dozens of museums, galleries and theaters.
New this year are Night at the Museums, an event based on the renowned Paris cultural celebration, “Nuit De La Musee,” in which 11 Denver museums will open their doors for FREE special events each evening from 5 to 10 p.m. FREE parking is available at Cherry Creek Shopping Center with FREE shuttles that will visit all museums, so visitors can move effortlessly from museum to museum throughout the night.
