Denver Art Society — Attraction in Denver

This place needs more credit than it gets for an amazing atmosphere with a wide variety of local artists. My husband and I went here for First Friday this month (September), and we were surprised by the amount of neat art tucked in this building! From metal sculptures to a technological collage and paintings and many jewelers...you can find a little something for everyone here if you are looking to gift local this year!

They simply have to put in some time and limited amount of cash - this is the key ingredient. It allows for everyone to play artist.. this is the key element for me. You get such a mixture of humanity showing their art and exposing their soul, how cool is this. Not everyone’s a Picasso or a Jackson Pollack but why not try. It’s a welcoming community.
