Goldenites love art across all media and forms, from painting and sculpture to music and other performing arts.
And somehow, Foothills Art Center manages to encapsulate that love in seven days with ARTSWEEK GOLDEN.
For the seventh year in a row, FAC, its partners and the greater Golden community gathered June 16-22 to celebrate various artists and media.
FAC hosted some events at its campuses, while partner businesses like Golden City Brewery and Goosetown Station hosted others. For instance, on June 18, the Golden Mill hosted its fourth annual show of Circus Foundry aerialists and acrobats. The event also doubled as a fundraiser for FAC.
ARTSWEEK GOLDEN wrapped up June 21-22 with a free festival at Parfet Park. The new location showcased 70 artists for everyone visiting downtown Golden and the Clear Creek corridor, and featured a first-time beer garden with local brews.
