Weekender - Denver Arts Week!

Happy Weekend, Dealers!! I know I am looking forward to date night at Bones with The Hub, and to some much needed R & R. BUT - It isn't just any old weekend in Denver, no no, this weekend is the start of Denver Arts Week, and there will be tons of free and frugal things to do around town!

11/6 - Things get started tonight with Know Your Arts First Friday, an amped up version of the monthly favorite, and a PERFECT time to acquaint yourself with the First Friday concept. Go here to choose a district (or a few) and plot your route.

11/6 - Tonight at 6:30, Denver University will be holding a free screening "Tapped," a documentary about the secrets of the bottled water industry at Davis Auditorium with a Q and A session with the director after.

11/6 - To celebrate the opening of Illiterate's new space , over 25 artists delved into their wild sides for "Where The Wild Things Art", armed with only the name of the show as inspiration, they each created their own artistic interpretation which will be on display from 7-10 pm this evening - so go explore the new space and the creations here.

11/7-11/8 - Join Corey and Horace at C&H Glassworks as they demonstrate the time-honored art of glassblowing from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can ask the artists questions about their craft, watch the process from designated viewing areas, and explore the gallery. All purchases made during the open house will receive a 10% discount (excluding gift certificates). Visitors can also enter their names for a chance to win one of two $100 gift certificates; one drawing will be held at the end of each day. Grab the family and head over, glassblowing will have the kiddos' eyes wide with wonder for sure!
