For over 20 years now, Museo de las Americas has been connecting the Denver community with exquisite collections from the Americas. The exhibition, HILOS, will be on display starting this Thursday until January, but who wants to miss the opening reception. If you are wondering about the name, like I was myself… HILOS, are threads that are connecting the entire collection to the museum’s past exhibits. The artistry is going to be one- of- a- kind  and we are fortunate enough to have it in our own backyard.

It feels like the community is now an art hot spot, which it is indeed turning out to be. To add to all the artsy events happening around town, Denver Plein Air Arts Festival is happening from now until December 31st. En plein air meaning “in the open air” in French, allows this festival to display pieces that have been created to represent the outdoors. Over 110 pieces have been chosen for this show, and to know that there were over  three hundred submitted is incredible. This festival is the largest plein air event to hit this country, so who wouldn’t want to miss it!

A Christmas Carol

Everyone loves to sit around the fire with the lighted Christmas tree on and watch old Christmas movies. Well that’s at least what happens in my house. One of the greatest old time movies is The Christmas Carol. From the great relationship that Tiny Tim and Bob Crachit hold to the mean old Ebenezer Scroodge. And don’t forget about the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, and hopefully in your near future you will be checking this show out,.
