CULTURE
ENTERTAINMENT
Ours is a district with over 50 art galleries, shops and restaurants
spanning several blocks in the heart of Denver. The Art District
on Santa Fe is a walking art experience! Whether it’s art to hang
on the wall, wearable art, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, metal
works, art that makes you laugh, art that makes you feel young
at heart or weak in the knees, it’s here.
Art
is our
First
Name
The neighborhood of La Alma/Lincoln Park that surrounds the Art
District is one of Denver’s oldest, predominantly Latino communities.
The rich cultural heritage and artistic inspiration is evident in the use
of adobe and bright colors on the buildings. During the holidays,
many of the galleries light the walkways with traditional luminaries.
Layer on the veil of modernism and you have a richly textured and
unique backdrop for your visit.
Culture
is in
our
Blood
Be
Entertained!

provide a great opportunity to meet the artists, and see
