Denver's music scene is uniquely diverse. is can be attributed to the fact that there are tons of venues—big, small and medium sized—allowing space and access to musicians of any genre and level of popularity to play live. In addition, Denver concert goers are more adventurous than most. e city—and the state itself—aren't afraid to give new music a fighting chance. Over the years, many notable musicians such as Dave Matthews Band have experienced success there before receiving love in other big cities. Regardless, for every fan of music in Denver, there is a bar or venue that suits your personal preferences. ithin the city, there are seven art districts, each with a unique collection of museums, galleries, and street art to be explored. e Golden Triangle Creative District alone is home to more than 50 galleries, fine art studios and stores, as well as eight museums, including the Denver Art Museum and its famed collection of indigenous works. e Denver Art Museum's Hamilton Building may just be the crowned jewel of Denver. e New York Times called the structure "mesmerizing," but that doesn't quite cut it. e product of a collaboration between Davis Partnership and Studio Daniel Libeskind, the freestanding, titanium structure is an ode to the nearby Rocky Mountains— its angular form meant to imitate the geometric rock crystals that live within Rockies. New museums and exhibitions are constantly popping up in the city—perhaps the most recent addition has been the Clyfford Still Museum, dedicated solely to the work of America's most influential abstract painter Clyfford Still. Coming to the end of its run at the Museo de las Americas on January 14, is an exhibition called Las (H)adas. is collection features installations by five local Chicana artists who have been working within their communities as activists, artists and educators for over 30 years. ese site-specific installations depict the many identities of Latina women and hope to create a platform for a discussion about the realities of life for women of color.
