Arts in the Afternoon

Arts in the Afternoon is a monthly hour-long program that features some of the finest classical, jazz, opera, and other artists from the Denver metro area. Many shows include an educational component, with the artists sharing historical and artistic insights about their program. Following most performances, patrons enjoy complimentary refreshments and conversation with artists.

Our Arts in the Afternoon series also includes a Wednesday matinee performance of each of our theatrical productions. These performances take place on a Wednesday at 1:30pm and are the full theatrical production.

Cost: Arts in the Afternoon programs start at $24 per ticket.

 

It’s my personal favorite for senior arts programs because the venue is truly accessible, supportive and easy to work with from reservation to payment, to day-of warm welcome and help as needed. The Arts in the Afternoon 1-hour concerts are perfect and, of course, the cookies and lemonade are a delightful touch!
