Arts Week puts new, free focus on Denver art scene

DENVER - Denver Arts week gets underway Friday. The city-sponsored event, which runs through Nov. 14, features more than 200 art-related events, many of which are free.

On Friday, the week begins with special events planned in all six of Denver's art districts, including galleries and studios on Santa Fe. The fun doesn't stop there, as many of the galleries, studios and districts will have lectures and special events until the week is complete. 

On Saturday night, 11 museums, including the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver will be open without charge from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Arts Week organizers are offering free shuttles to get from museum to museum. Participants can catch a shuttle at either the Cherry Creek Shopping Center or the Denver Art Museum.
