40 W: Arts Along Colfax

Arts Along Colfax

The “Arts Along Colfax” Program is a 40 West Arts initiative that places private art on display inside public businesses along West Colfax in Lakewood. This program will showcase local and regional artists and encourage public dialogue, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts. The program’s goal is to build a foundation of the Arts as a fundamental part of the fabric within the 40 West Arts district while providing a meaningful opportunity for businesses, artists and art lovers in the area to connect.
