Denver Arts Week 2015 - Best Bets

Denver Arts Week is a celebration of all things art and is currently in full swing. From November 6th through November 14th, patrons of the arts can find all sorts of events that are deeply discounted or free. Arts week encompases pretty much all the creative fields - 2D and 3D arts, dance, music, comedy, and performance. Below are a few of my favorites, but for the full list visit the Denver Arts Week event page.
