Top Art Galleries In Denver’s Trendy LoHI District

Whilst not a gallery in the conventional sense, The Bug Theater is one of LoHi’s most important and popular cultural institutions. The theatre is housed in the centre of the Navajo Street Art District, and it seeks to foster Denver’s community of artists as well as supporting touring groups. It is one of Denver’s most unique live theater spaces, offering an eclectic mix of performance, dance, music, comedy, workshops and film screenings. It was originally built as a Nickelodeon Movie House in 1912 and has remained a movie or performing house since its inception. For fans of independent and experimental performance art, The Bug is the best place to visit in Denver.

A contemporary, co-op, non-profit art gallery in the heart of the Navajo Street Art District, EDGE Gallery dedicates itself to artists outside of the public domain. The gallery’s primary objectives are to celebrate individuality and maintain integrity when addressing the often contradictory messages emerging from contemporary art. The four galleries, front, back, associate and back space, have changing exhibitions every few months and also host poetry readings and musical performances, as well as work from students of the University of Colorado, Denver. The exhibition space is managed by independent artists and has supported those working on the margins of content, materials and technology since its inception, making it a popular exhibition space for creators and admirers of experimental art.

Entre Nous Galerie D’Art, literally translating as the ‘between us art gallery’, opened in its current location in 2013 having started life over ten years ago as Z Adventure. The gallery promotes local art from across all mediums, including mixed media, paintings and photography. Exhibitions tend to derive their names from French, with previous shows including ‘Le Regard’, with work by Kristen and Mark Sink and David Zimmer, ‘Pour L’Amour ‘D’Art’, an exhibition and art sale for Valentine’s Day, and Paris Photo, featuring a selection of works from the J.P. Morgan Chase Art Collection. Overall, an eclectic gallery for an eclectic neighbourhood.
