Denver's Art District on Santa Fe











First Friday Art Walk (6-9pm)

Experience the work of international, national and local artists in Denver's only multi-block art district, where viewers can easily walk to the galleries, restaurants and other creative businesses. Within the Art District you can enjoy over 60 participating galleries, artist studios and restaurants joining the First Friday Art Walk (6-9 pm) every first Friday of the month, all year round. Free guided shuttle coaches pick you up at the light rail station at 10th Avenue and Osage Street and ferry you around the Art District on First Fridays between 5:30 and 9:30PM.

First Friday History Tour (5:30 pm)

This walking tour is designed to highlight the history of one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods, and link these simple beginnings with the dynamic avenue of today. Start your walk at 7th and Santa Fe (at the Byers Branch Library) and amble north with an expert guide on this 1-hour tour, then enjoy the sights and sounds of the First Friday Art Walk. Learn about three different eras in the timeline of Santa Fe: 1887, 1927 and today. There's more than just paints and pastels to Santa Fe Drive; learn about the stories beneath the stucco. These tours are not offered in December, January and February. Tours given by Denver History Tours. For more information call 720-234-7929 or visit www.denverhistorytours.com. Please note that the price for this tour is $5, a rate offered in conjunction with Denver's ArtDistrict on Santa Fe. No advance reservations are necessary. Just show up! (Should you wish to take this tour a different day or on your own, the fee is $20 per person. Please contact Denver History tours to arrange this.)

Third Friday Collectors Night

A multi-gallery art preview with many of our galleries and other creative businesses open late in the Art District every Third Friday of the month. This is a more intimate version of First Friday with an opportunity for our patrons to see the art and meet the artists and owners without the large First Friday crowds."

One Point Twenty One-Jiggawats

Friday, August 06 - Friday, September 17

Artists Jason Sheppard and Scott Raby use materials and imagery which are egalitarian, favoring the shapes, textures, and forms found in a pedestrian landscape. Despite this fact both artists have drastically different approaches to this working style; one clean, one dirty, one shiny, one rusted, one baroque, one understated, ... While their work differs in outcome, it arises from a singular point of a disciplined energy which reshapes their everyday experiences into alarmingly opaque art. Despi
