Denver Art Society Cooperative: classes, events, and meetups

Alcohol Ink Workshop - All ages welcome, Create bold, bright pieces of original artwork that we'll transform into cards and a framed original - plus have a LOAD of fun!

ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED! We'll use a variety of alcohol inks applied to photo paper, which creates colors so vivid and unpredictable. If you're a perfectionist, this will help break down some walls. If you love surprises, this is perfect for you - we don't turn your piece over until we're done, and it looks completely different on the back versus the front of the photo paper (flat side vs. shiny side). Ink will get on your hands, but it comes off or you can wear gloves, I also have aprons (a drop or two of ink could get on your clothes if not careful), or wear dark clothes!

you'll take home: * Handmade cards * Frameable original artwork * New creative skills and confidence!

Cost: $30 ($20 for DAS Artist members)
***You pay me at the class... Cash, Venmo, PayPal***
Private classes available upon request
Perfect for a fun friends' or family get-together!

Santa Fe Nights: A Classy Cultural Celebration in the Heart of Denver, CO – September 20, 2024 – Step into an evening where culture,
fashion, and community shine at Santa Fe Nights, a one-of-a-kind celebration hosted by the Denver Art Society in the Art District on Santa Fe. From 4:00 to 9:00 p.m., guests will be immersed in the living legacy of Chicano heritage. Its past, present, and future.

This free event features a cultural fashion show that journeys through time, spotlighting iconic Chicano styles from the 1940s Zoot Suit era to today’s bold, contemporary looks. More than clothing, the show highlights fashion as a powerful statement of resistance, identity, and pride.

Highlights of the evening include:
● Live music by Elan Schwartz Band4, Jay Suavecito Salas, and Reyna
Muerta.
● Photography and art exhibitions by acclaimed local artists, including
Almeida Fine Arts Portrait Photography, Fabian Lara, Jesús Flores, Daniel
Romero, Lolly Art LLC, and RockArt Productions.
● Classic car showcase presented by Compas Colorado.
● Fashion show curated by Imagen Studios’ Brandy Parrish and Javier
Almeida, featuring designers Liz Baros, Sierra McCellan, Ben Suarez,
Missy Champlain, and Bianca Lopez. Brought to life by local models.
● Special guest speakers and tributes honoring Pachuco culture and the
Chicano movement.
● Special appearances by Rockabilly Vixens, Holly Collins-Tomazin, Tony
Ortiz, and more.

Backed by Denver’s vibrant arts and cultural community—including Ceiba, Compas Colorado, The Denver Art Society, K. Michael The Ever Collection, and many dedicated volunteers, Santa Fe Nights is more than an event; it’s a tribute to the power of storytelling through image, sound, and style.

Whether you’ve never touched a piano or you’ve played for years, this one-of-a-kind group class will transform the way you understand music.
🎶 All levels welcome – beginner to advanced
🎵 No experience required – no note reading, no pressure
🎹 Instruments provided – just bring your curiosity!
We’ll start with a quick, engaging music theory session—zero jargon, just real-world musical tools. Then we’ll dive into hands-on group piano where you’ll explore:

• 🎼 Chords & Scales (made simple)
• 🎹 Improvisation & composition
• 🎶 Ensemble playing & musical creativity

✨ This is not your average piano lesson. It’s relaxed, fun, and surprisingly deep. You won’t even have to try hard—but you’ll walk away knowing more about music than most semester-long courses could teach you.
Hosted at a beautiful art gallery studio—come explore sound, expression, and connection in a creative setting!
