This year travels through space and time; shrink down to the size of a Four Mile honeybee to explore life as an insect and walk alongside a giant mantis or through a field of oversized wildflowers. Cross the globe to discover African animals and dive deep into the ocean to spend time with sharks. Delight in the same natural world that inspired Victorian literary classics!

Annual Affordable Arts Festival

Sunday, August 30 | Every year in August, on the campus of the Arapahoe Community College, over 165 artists from around the country come to Colorado to offer art patrons the unique opportunity to buy fine art for $150 or less. The response to the festival has catapulted it into the fastest-growing show in Colorado and to being Nationally ranked the NUMBER ONE show in the country and we are the best place to find affordable arts in Denver! Just in case saving hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars wasn't enough fun, we have vendors selling coffee and pastries for the throngs of art lovers who show up hours before we open the gates. Plus, you'll know that your admission fee will help students get scholarships at the Arapahoe Community College and when you buy too much art to carry to your vehicle, we have a team of golf cart drivers waiting at the exit to whisk you to your car. (Please leave your dogs at home. Thanks.)
