• Giulio D'Amore, Denver, Colorado
• Emilia Ealom, Denver, Colorado
• Phoebe Hatch, Boulder, Colorado

Join us to try an interactive printmaking experience for all! CherryArts' traveling Mobile Art Cart will pop up at the NEW location for Show Of Hands Gallery in Cherry Creek North, 200 Fillmore St. Ste 101. This is a free hands-on art experience.

Just two more days left to apply for the Student Art Buying Program! This exceptional program is provided through the support of BOK Financial and provides access for Colorado students to become art collectors for their schools.

Schools, community centers, and organizations with a focus on students are encouraged to apply by this Friday, March 15th to be considered.

The Student Art Buying Program is an exceptional initiative that cultivates a deeper appreciation for the arts among students throughout Colorado. By supporting this program, you're not only investing in the future of young artists and art appreciators, but also in the cultural enrichment of communities statewide.

This hands-on experience not only enhances their understanding of art but also empowers them to become active participants in supporting working artists.

By joining the Student Art Buying Patron community, you're aligning yourself with a group of individuals who share a passion for arts education and believe in its transformative power. Together, we can inspire the next generation of creative thinkers and cultivate a lifelong love for the arts.

At the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, volunteers play a huge part in our success!

Every year more than 500 dedicated, engaged, community-minded and fun volunteers step up to make our three-day festival happen. Volunteering at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival gives participants an exclusive, behind-the-scenes appreciation of the artists and art that make the Festival so enticing and fun.

CherryArts, a Denver-based nonprofit, believes that access to art is for everyone, and artists are essential. www.CherryArts.org
