Denver Arts Events August 25-31, 2025

I am reminded each week of the richness and depth of Denver’s arts offerings. This week’s events celebrate local artists and spark intrigue by pushing boundaries. They also cost less than $21 each. How lucky we are. If I had five nights to enjoy a performance, concert, or exhibition this week, this is what I’d do. Enjoy.
