It’s no surprise that Denver has an incredible art scene. In fact, there is so much going on in the art scene that sometimes it’s hard to catch it all. Westword made it easy for us to check out the best of the best that the arts have to offer in Denver. Westword hosted their 19th annual Artopia on Saturday night, February 22, at five different locations along Broadway’s club strip: Vinyl, City Hall, Salty Dog, Bar Standard and the Living Room. Denver art enthusiasts enjoyed live music, artist displays/demos, vendor booths, poerty and various performances throughout the night. Artopia is an event that us Denverlites wait all year for and this year was no exception! To put it lightly: if you missed out, well.. you missed out!
This year also marked the 8th Annual Mastermind Awards at Artopia, where our town was given the opportunity to honor five local artists/organizations for their contribution to Denver’s creative landscape.

Friday, March 7, 2014 6:00 p.m.
Seawell Grand Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
Fashion Denver is a proud sponsor of the Paper Fashion Show presented by the ADCD.

Fresh, white snowflakes danced to the ground outside of Denver’s historical McNichols Building, perfectly preluding to the event inside. As guests entered the runway room, adorned with white banners and subtle chic lighting, they were greeted with a unique cocktail from a fashionably dressed server or a friendly smile from one of their fellow fashion-enthusiasts. Local shops, fashion boutiques and restaurants sold apparel and offered delicious samples of sweet treats and snacks to anticipating guests. All were gathered for the same reason, to celebrate local designers at Westword’s second annual Whiteout Fashion Show.
We are so proud of Colorado designer Stephanie Ohnmacht who is currently on Tim Gunn’s show Under the Gunn! We are rootin’ up a storm for you Stephanie!
