gallery910Arts is proud to introduce itself as a new, “unique breed of gallery™.”

Its primary focus and what sets it apart from other galleries is its intention to foster creative synergy between art and community by raising social awareness thru exceptional art. At its core is the belief that through creative collaboration, artists and community organizations can more effectively inspire social change.

In addition to its distinctive collaborative approach toward art and community, the gallery is also unique in that it is housed at nine10Arts, Denver’s only green built creative community which offers artists and the surrounding community the unique opportunity to “See. Hear. Smell. Taste. Feel. Be Art!”™ while incorporating the principles of affordability, sustainability, community stewardship and support for the arts.

gallery910Arts not only supports the mission of nine10Arts, which is to create an open dialogue between artists and the community by raising awareness and appreciation of social and environmental issues through the creation and expression of art, but it also broadens Nine10Arts’ invitation to explore and interact with art and artists as they work through their creative processes through Artist Open Studios. The nine10Arts artist community not only houses the gallery, but also consists of 8 artist live/work lofts, 17 artist work studios, the connected Studio 6 Coffee House and adjacent colorful open-air courtyard. Such a dynamic partnership is truly unique, and very much in line with the progressive nature of the redevelopment project itself.

The gallery will feature exhibitions of regional, national and international emerging, mid-career and established artists in a wide range of styles and mediums including not only visual arts, but also performing arts (dance, music and literary events). Creative workshops and lecture series will be offered concurrently with art exhibitions to further enhance the educational aspect of its focus.
