Denver Arts Week kicks off tomorrow night and runs from November 8 through 14. A lot of the action will be taking place in District 9, in gallery-heavy districts like LoDo, Santa Fe Drive, River North, and Highland. Here are some of the things you can do during the week:
- Ride the free First Friday circulator bus that connects the ArtDistrict on Santa Fe with the Golden Triangle Museum District. This free luxury shuttle coach debuted at last month’s First Friday; it features an on-board guide and provides easy access to more than 100 art galleries, museums, cultural centers, restaurants and shops. The bus runs every First Friday (including tomorrow night) from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.; there are stops at the Osage Light Rail Station; Santa Fe / 10th Ave; West High School (Galapago / 10th Ave); 11th Ave. / Cherokee Street; and the Denver Art Museum Entrance at 12th Avenue.
- Attend one of Denver’s top museums for free during Night at the Museums on Saturday, November 7. Four of the participating museums are in District 9 — the Children’s Museum, Forney Transportation Museum, Museo de las Americas and Museum of Contemporary Art. Other participants include the Black American West, Byers Evans House, Colorado History Museum, Denver Art Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Kirkland Museum, and Molly Brown House. Free admission will be available from 5 to 10 p.m.
- Check out special theater and musical performances during Sunday on Stage, November 8; participating organizations include the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado, Colorado Symphony and Starz Denver Film Festival.
- Pick up a copy of the new Denver Gallery Guide, published by the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs (click here and look for “Gallery Guide” on the left-hand nav bar).
Arts week runs through next Saturday, November 14. For a complete list of events, see the Denver Arts Week website.
