Art Walks
Denver Art Walks are a great way to spend a leisurely early evening seeing several
simultaneous openings of new art exhibits, meeting the artists, socializing with friends
and enjoying refreshments provided at a variety of stops at the many establishments that
specifically cater to the gallery crowd. Originally started by the Lower Downtown (LoDo)
Arts District, art walks have sprung up in neighborhoods throughout the metro area.

forth. Free transportation is available for the self-guided tour in the
