The vault room was super cool - I wonder what the history of this building/space was! The cashier was very kind and welcomed us warmly.

I love this piece!

Hey, came up with a client to have lunch and buy at your gallery. We finished a little after 1PM,…read morewalked over to the gallery after talking About our plan of purchase BUT there was a sign on the door NOT SAYING what TIME they'll return, not even a misguided sign saying 'back in 20 minutes". Just said 'Out to lunch, returning soon". (Are we supposed to guess if that'll be an hour, 20 minutes?) We walked around, went into Vital Sports, bought some items after taking our time trying on and such.....went back, sign Still there. We sat for another 10 minutes & finally gave up and drove back to Denver, Very Disappointed. AND I guarantee you Lost some significant sales as I had scoped thing out for my client. Thanks....anyway.....

Alas, Mirada has moved from their historic log cabin in Indian Hills, but is now much more…read moreconveniently located for Denver-based art lovers in an equally historic (and beautifully renovated) building in downtown Denver. The new building dates to the 1870s and was originally a saloon and dance hall. It is also twice the size of the Indian Hills Trading Post. This gallery has a solid library of contemporary artists, not just from Colorado, but from across the U.S. and internationally. About 40 artists are regularly exhibited, showing mainly paintings and sculpture. All of the work is of very high quality. The historic building provides an excellent background with an expansive main floor and an intimate basement with original stone walls. This is also a fine event venue. Steve Sonnen, the owner, is an art consultant with extensive experience in the design of art-centric spaces using work from the gallery or custom commissions. Mirada Fine Art is one of the highlights of the Denver art scene.

I was so inspired by the intense energy and enthusiasm of the members. After going months without creative contact, it was refreshing to be around other artists and be able to talk about art without any shame or pretense! The facility itself is very clean and well-maintained. There is ample gallery space with plenty of opportunities for artist members and volunteers to showcase their work. The website is also very comprehensive and makes it very easy to look up upcoming opportunities, past successes, and current work and contact information of the artists it supports. Kudos to 40 West Arts for taking the plunge and creating a safe space for artists in the community!

I've been bullied for two years by another teacher/artist/dancer and when she escalated at Westfax,…read moreinstead of hearing both sides or seeing evidence, they joined in the slander/libel and banned me. I've been coming to 40 west for years and been an artist through them for 2 years, I had also talked to them previously about the bully and my fear and thought they would stand with me. They took a little while to respond and said they would look into it. When I filed the lawsuit against the bully, I sent on the cover sheet and said I would be happy to provide any evidence or answer any questions. I had been clear about needing a deadline of 9/30, I though a month and half to hear anything was more than reasonable, but they just ghosted me. So now I had to file a lawsuit against them to try and be treated equitably and so I can feel safe moving forward. having to do that, when I'm already dealing with someone who is unhinged is crap.

Their scenery is a…read morelot more nicer than the trashy tourist streets of downtown Denver, a city that once had its fellow charm, but corrupted from negligence of homeless people and marijuana. Or even, most comparable to the shopping centers of Cherry Creek. However Belmar is a go to place, better than the shopping experience of Northfield Stapleton. I personally felt more of a connection with Belmar than anything else. The lights of Belmar are gorgeous, romantic (I can't emphasize that enough) and witty. They have lots of streets of fine boutiques, restaurants, bars and a bowling alley. Belmar also carries an ice rink where couples and families can go and enjoy a miniature icy adventure. It makes a total hot spot for a date idea. There's Wasabi Sushi nearby, but the wait is creamy. There is also the Lucky Strikes Lanes, where you can have a grand ol' time. Belmar is amazing and a luxurious experience that you can't miss! Especially coming to Colorado, that's one spot you must see!

Heirloom Baking was on hand for a cookie workshop ($20), several food trucks were available for grab and go yummies and THE RINK was open for post shopping ice skating fun. The Holiday Bazaar is always a fantastic evening for date night, family adventure or GNO!

Is this a must see when visiting Denver? No. But it was fun. You almost don't realize you're in…read morethe right place until you ask, because the initial entry is a store front (cool stickers, jewelry, queer merch etc). But then you enter the art portion. The indoor portion is mostly music and lights. It's actually really well done. You can push different buttons and witness different light and music themes. I was surprised at how diverse the music was and how many musical choices you could choose. The outdoor version changes over time, but this time I was tracking nine fairies or nymphs, or like creatures, that encouraged harmony and love of nature. I scanned all nine spots and got a free little gift at the end. It's a cool, funky little space. Lots of nooks and crannies. A big papasan swing. Alien like animal sculptures. Plants everywhere. I can't remember what I paid, but it was nominal, and worth the little detour here. It's on Broadway, which parts of Broadway are lively and packed, but this one was a little more dead and vacant. The staff is super nice. The prices in the shop are reasonable for work by independent artists.

Closed now, but Opening SOON!…read more Because of both the renovation of the original church bldg. and also the expansion into the historic Astor House, Foothills Art Center has been closed for the better part of the past year. That will soon change when the original building becomes a Creative Campus for studios and the Astor House contains the galleries, a meeting room, reading center/library, refreshment kiosk and administrative offices. Targeted for March/April '24, both FAC buildings will be a major improvement and offer everything from classes and meetings to an increased outdoor patio and even a Short Edition dispenser for free English/Spanish phone-based stories, poetry and cartoons for both adults and kids to take with you!

She was expert, not just at glass, but also at teaching, and was great at working around my mobility limitations. My friend and I both decided to make glass bowls, and after these annealed over a 24-hour time frame, we ended up with lovely keepsakes. Expect to learn a lot in a very short time. The Experience is a little pricey, but worth it, especially considering the individual focus. Don't rush off--you'll want to explore the Gallery and pick up a few treasures (use your 7% discount the day of your Experience) and seek sale items. I fully expect to book another Experience!

In the chaos of my move from Denver to San Francisco last fall, I lost the hologram (a separate piece with adhesive) for my 2013 Telluride Bluegrass Festival poster. I emailed William Matthews Studio to see if I could buy that part alone, and they promptly replied and said they'd mail me a new one -- which they did, free of charge. I feel like stuff like this doesn't happen much anymore, so I just wanted to give them a happy Yelp shout-out -- THANK YOU!! -- and encourage people to give these lovely people some business. I definitely plan to check out their goods next time I'm back in Denver.
