art districts

More than once have I heard in the last few months that RiNo (River North Art District, located in the warehouse neighborhoods, an expansive square between Park Ave W and 30th St, and extending from Welton to Wingsby Ct) is the new "it" scene in Denver. The entire district, founded by local artists Tracy Weil and Jill Hadley Hooper, includes almost 50 galleries, workshops, and studios, as well as the widest collective of Denver's most energetic figures, ranging from savvy Plus Gallery owner, Ivar Zeile, to hip and innovative Travis Egedy at Rhinoceropolis.

Galleries are the bees knees, but with winter almost over, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and see what’s buzzing in the streets
